Re: MN member checking in!

I made a dummy round today for a .338rum and a 300gr smk. Now to send it to pacific tool and guage to get a custom reamer made and a head space guage. Hunting chambers with lots of freebore are no good for accuracy...

Re: MN member checking in!

.248 free bore should get those 300's out far enough to get room for juice and still keep the boat tail where it needs to be

 

[AutoVerminator]

Re: MN member checking in!

I can't bring myself to do it! Guess I am planning on using my 30 cal rock blank for a 300wsm build. The 338RUM is way too much rifle for me, now that my shooting habits have gone down hill.

Figure a 1:11.25 should be good up to the 210 VLD's, most likely the 190 VLD's.

Re: MN member checking in!

Hey what's the weather doing up by you guy's? Here in central Wisconsin we have just been blessed with a quarter inch blanket of ICE, how lame is that! 25 freekin degrees out and it's icing, supposed to turn to snow by morning...yay


Off topic does anyone have a Lee 4 die set for .223 Ackley Improved in stock? Might just have to call Lee up and order a set.

 

[gunman_7]

Re: MN member checking in!

Right now we are getting hammered with snow...suppose to get 8-12inches by morning...I'm thinking unless I walk, there is no way for me to get down there. My plow guy won't be around till mid day..... This snow crap is getting old.....

 

[Austan]

Re: MN member checking in!

Snowing quite a bit here too. Are they even going to have the shoot? I'd rather not get up that early. Although Marty and I can shoot the 300 whisper for a while.

 

[Longrange****]

Re: MN member checking in!

Yep been snowing like crazy up here.....seems as soon as you get done shoveling its time to do it again...hell the snow banks pushed up along my driveway are taller than my frikin car....and like Chris said...another 8-12 coming.....

 

[Longrange****]

Re: MN member checking in!

My God...Ive been looking at baby names for the last 2 hours...trying to figure out a name for the new baby on the way and WTF are people naming their frikin kids nowadays....I bet I looked at 5,000+ names and didnt find shit the wife and I both liked.....and I found alot of stupid shit and I mean ALOT....I didnt know Matthew was a girls name....or "A" was a girls name...also found out "Abu" was an American girls name....bull shit.....

 

[gunman_7]

Re: MN member checking in!

Good thing I named him the proper way to spell the name...Mathew

Isn't that shit fun! We are just about as lost for another boys name too! We thought about sticking with the middle name of us four thing, but mine was used on Mathew and Andrew took out yours Jacobs and Dads, and we sure arn't going to call this next one Al....lol

 

[Longrange****]

Re: MN member checking in!

Yea I dont know what the hell to do....this is the part I hate the frikin most....I like Rebbecca....but the wife doesnt like it and the first person to call her Becky would get punched in the mouth...

 

[merlin45k]

Re: MN member checking in!

How about clarissa or britney,sara .Just a few names to list . merlin45kout

 

[Austan]

Re: MN member checking in!

I hear ya Noah. When the wife and I were looking at names, I wanted Penelope. She said we could call her Penny, that was the end of that name, all though I don't mind Becky...

Re: MN member checking in!

Just got a late email from the manager of the KD range at Elk River:

FYI Cold finger shoot Saterday Jan 10. 9:00 am

KD range Elk River

200 or 300 ?

 

[AutoVerminator]

Re: MN member checking in!

Stuck at work tomorrow, would love to go though.

 

[rsracer65]

Re: MN member checking in!

Just got off the phone with Tim @ Elk River and the cold finger shoots are the 2nd Saturday of each month and they start up at 9am.

On another note I will have the new F-Class schedule for Elk River as well, nobody has stepped up to be in charge of the season so I may give it a go... We will see.

 

[slayer_21420]

Re: MN member checking in!

Where is the range in elk river?

Do you have to be a member?

P.S- do any of you guys Know of anyone that can true a savage actionfor me? preferably around central MN

Thanks, Steve

 

[rsracer65]

Re: MN member checking in!

Steve, the Elk River range website is here:

http://www.ersportsman.com/

The matches that I list anyone can shoot at, they are open to the public. The range is private though... It is a really nice facility you should come down and check it out sometime. I am a member there and can bring guests, we just need a bit of advanced notice so I can plan on the day to take off work.

 

[gunman_7]

Re: MN member checking in!

Yes, I think we need a get together soon and hit the range....

 

[slayer_21420]

Re: MN member checking in!

I haven't formally introduced myself to all you guys so I thought I would say Whats up,

Im new here and am looking to make some freinds that are as crazy as I am when it comes to guns

My name is Steve, Im kinda new to the long range stuff,I've got a 24" AR with a bull barrel that I have been shooting out to 450yds quite a bit,and am in the process of biulding a .260rem on a savage action (think im going with the PDS/tactical stockade stock so if any of you have experience with that let me know what you think of it.)

I don't live very far from princeton so I will definitely be at those shoots,

PS-when is the next shoot at princeton?

Anyway just thought I would say hi, Steve

 

[Austan]

Re: MN member checking in!

Next shoot at princeton is the 25th of January. Dress warm and welcome, Steve.

Austan

 

[slayer_21420]

Re: MN member checking in!

[Austan]

Re: MN member checking in!

8:00 to help set up. 8:30 start. Thats the plan anyways.

 

[northern50]

Re: MN member checking in!

Austan as long as I don't die from here till the 25th I will be up by Marty to go with you guy's. Taking all my junk back next weekend Sunday or Monday whichever has better weather. Can't wait to shoot a match again, it's been a few.

 

[gunman_7]

Re: MN member checking in!

This will be a good shoot! Lots of people there this time I'm thinking...I'll be there hell or high water with fellow LEO friend for his first match. Maybe I'll even drag Noah's ass out there too!

Re: MN member checking in!

On top of the F-Class Matches there are the Tuesday night leagues along with service rifle and belly matches! Lots of shooting at ERSC this year to say the least!

For schedules with times and dates shoot me an email and I will get them out to you if interested.

Cheers,

Adam

 

[AutoVerminator]

Re: MN member checking in!

mmmm, f class league! These are definitely worth going to, I went to a hand full of them last spring and really enjoyed myself. Your skills really sharpen up fast after a few weeks of shooting. I also believe that the older folks do their high power match's 9am on Mondays and will welcome anyone that wants to shoot with them.

 

[gunman_7]

Re: MN member checking in!

hey auto, whats round count like on an average night?
