Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
I can't do CBS with the new rifle. For now I'm running the 243AI and I don't have any data out to 1K with the 105Amax. I have data to 1K with the 105 Berger VLD's but I'm out of them and won't be shooting them anymore. The Amax's are just too cheap not to shoot when compared to the Bergers, plus I have 2K Amax's to run in that rifle.....Those 2K should be 2/3 or more through the life of the barrel so I'll be set for a year or so.
A sedate load with the Bergers put me out to 1K with 23.5MOA in the cold weather...If I can get out to 1K without giving up much of that with the Amax's I'll be a happy camper. I'm not hotrodding the Amax's either....just under 3100fps in the 24" tube at 30*, but that is a bit faster than I ran the Bergers.
See all you gentlemen on Saturday!!!!

LOL...the way I was shooting today, I may have to have some one else shoot it to make that cliam viable...Any reports out there that N140 is sensitive to cold?
I talked to Graham today, this rifle isnt set up for 1k, but will play around anyways. I want to see Grahams Peirce set up. I put my order in today, after talking to Graham, for a 5R Milspec from Bobs in Hastings. Its pretty depressing not having a 1k rig at the moment.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
I suggested a SH day at Young's last year, and it worked out very well. Next we should do a SH prairie dog or Woodchuck day. We need a member with lots of land, and a location within three hours drive of central Michigan.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
Nick,
What's the plans/spec's on the Pierce build?
I have the ol'lady's .222ai almost done. Just shipped out her bolt/barrel today for Karl at Kampfeld to get it spiral fluted.
Looking about May when her rifle will be done.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
Pierce Tac repeater
6.5x47
28" Broughton barrel 1/8
Pierce 20 MOA rail
Sprial fluted bolt, not sure if its PTG or his own..I know he is making them, but that was not specified, doesnt matter to me, both are top notch as far as I am concerned
Jewel Trigger-can look up model, can not recall of the top of my head
cerakote-black
picked up a 1.5 AICS stock from Bauer a couple weeks ago. I have a .223 sitting in right now, just to play with, and see how it feels, wich I like a lot.
Was quoted 6-8 weeks, Feb. 27, so should have it April - May-ish
I am playing with a .223 right now. Found a .223 barreled action for $350. I am going to have to keep my nose to the sewing machine, because i really like it in the AICS and might have to get another one.

I can not speak for these scopes, other than shooting some of the other guys' stuff. I am about ready to get a job flipping burgers at night, just for scope funds..They are very nice scopes.
The range is in Walcott, IN. Google Youngs long shot range. You can read about it.

I haven't done any research on the 6.5x47, what's the barrel life appox for it?

Not to sure on round count, the only numbers I can offer are hersey. I am hoping for 3000-7000. I dont plan on having smoking velocity, and if I feel I need it, I will shoot the 123 scenars. But I have a cache of 142smk that I hope to get around 2800fps, wich would thrill me.
AICS stock. Optics, eventually a NF, probably not till this fall though. Running a VXII with the M1 turrets from Lueppy custom shop..not ideal, but thats what I got.
Brad said that you may be getting rid of a couple of your MCMs to go with hunting/adl stocks to save wieght for hunting rigs...is that the case? I am going to need a stock for my .223. Pm me if your thinking about it...

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
I have a few McM that are collect some dust in the closet, but they're for some feature builds. Not planning on getting rid of anytime soon. I'll let you know if I do decided to part with one.
I have 1 McM on order which is an Mnt Rifle stock that'll be done in Aug or Sept.
I'm hoping to have this 6.5-284 running within a month and a half. Finishing up the bedding on it now. 3rd time bedding the POS today. Haven't been happy with the results, so I keep rebedding it. Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm... Guess I'll find out in the AM.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
no problem...
What are you using to bed...devcon, marine tex...accraglass..I have only used accraglass, and it didnt turn out so well..it worked perfect, but didnt look great...My mistake was I didnt use the gel, used the old fashioned watery shit..

New long range shooter in MI looking to stretch my legs to 1k. Young's looks like an acceptable drive for me (near Holland).
Does SH plan trips all year? What does a new guy have to do to join the crowd?
I have a 7mmRM ready to go, but my 6.5x47mm Lapua won't be done until the end of April.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Sounds like there may be another group trying to get down there soon...keep an eye on this thread.
Sounds like we are going to have newborns about the same time

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots
Nick,
I had a buddy who gave me some accraglass, but it was pretty old. I used that on my USMC return stock. came out pretty good on my 1st bedding job.
I just bout some Devcon. I'm not sure if I'm not mixing it correctly or what the deal was. Took me 4 times to get the results I was looking for.

Fellas, I'd sure like to join the crowd. I'd be happy to pay for gas, or take some passengers. I also have a USO and Premier if anyone wants to test drive.
Hopefully we'll have newborns around the same time. Two weeks keeps turning four. I'm still waiting on my barrel from Bartlein.
