    Late to the IMR party

    I guess I’m late to the party but why in the HELL did they decide to discontinue the IMR Enduron line of powders? 4451,7977 and 8133 were truly magic in everything I ever shot them in. I know there’s a lot of people that fussed about 8133 and how their SD. I had nothing but awesome results with...

    What pistol do you use for self-protection out in public?

    I’m late to the party but Buttpirate sounds like a real cool guy that has lots of friends 🤪

    New to me 280AI

    Oh boy it likes the heavy’s! That’s 300yds with a 175ELDX and 61.5gr of 8133. That will work all day long for me. Under .25MOA in a cheap over the counter gun is just fine with me.

    Hers a nice little horsing around at the range today at 300yds group with some 160Sierras and IMR 7977. Not too bad for a over the counter deer rifle.

    Model 70 CRF clones?

    I see a stainless one on GB now in Fort Worth. Close enough to do a face to face deal and the dude INSISTS on using a FFL. What a waste. That will add $100 to the price after tax.

    Model 70 CRF clones?

    Well this is kind of a sad day I’ve realize the only way I’m going to be able to build this gun that I have in my mind that I have had in my mind since I was a kid 40 years ago is a beat up gun at a gun show just for the action. 😔

    Model 70 CRF clones?

    Guess ill be gun show shopping if I go this route. Crying shame. The rifleman's rifle is fading into obscurity

    Model 70 CRF clones?

    I saw that in thier website just now. That sucker is expensive. Its cheaper to buy a new supergrade and hack it up. Not many choices out there

    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    I have a 16 1/2" Ridgeline with a Carbon pipe in 6.5CM that is a nice lil gun for jeep/truck cab/Blind gun with a can on it. Sierra #1728 is a mean little pill on feral hogs/Javelina and white Tail deer. Also have an old Remington 600 in 308 Win ,18" bbl and its just as good out to 3/400 yds. im...

    Model 70 CRF clones?

    Who makes a Model 70 type/clone action besides Winchester these days. I had a Montana 1999 I wanted to build on but it was a mess and just sold it. Still looking for a Mauser type side extractor, control round feed short action. Google returns almost nothing.

    I wanted to shoot that bullet too. I never got it to shoot very good. I switched over to the 160 Sierra HPBT NOW keep in mind it’s a hunting bullet and it’s not got a real high G7 but that’s of a buck will shoot with 7977 or reloader 22.

    Rem 600 Mechanic

    The one I want to build on is a 308 Winchester and they are a dime a dozen it’s already been modified before I got it no loss on it. Now the 6 mm Remington is all original down to the plastic floor plate it’s like 95% condition. I wouldn’t do anything to it it’s a heirloom.

    I have 6 of those Ridgelines, ( 243Win, 7mm-08, 280AI x2 6.5CM and 28 Nosler) and every one of em max out at mid book loads. You will NEVER get boox max loads. You will pop primers and ruin brass, have sticky bolts etc. at anything over mid book loads. Check your speed it will be there. Drove me...

    I have found IMR-8133 and a 175 ELDx to be VERY accurate and faster than I expected out of a 30" bbl 280AI. I'm new to the cartridge and I am really liking it with said combination. IMR-7977 seems to be good as well abut still working on that one. I just traded for a Christensen like the one...
