  1. A little strength exercise this morning.

    Tell me about it, if it were up to me when they come for me with the meat wagon may they have to drive to where I've been shooting!!! ;););) If you've got to go, live as long as you can and go with grace!!
  2. A little strength exercise this morning.

    I understand training but only training for practical uses. A rifle is a tool and to use a tool one must practice in an environment similar to the one that you'll use the tool in. I lean on polls, (trees) lay on the ground looking over a makeshift rest, sit to shoot if it works better, use...
  3. A little strength exercise this morning.

    After the work I did shooting and then cleaning with my 358 Norma, my AR 15 A2 in 5.56 and my Aero Precision AR in 6MM ARC I decided that I wanted to add some strength building too my regime. I took my sporterized 8MM Mauser to the range with a bandolier of 174 grain 1944 surplus ammo. The...

  5. Thoughts 0n Middle man mark up

    It's a depends on the circumstances. In my sign business when it came to basic supplies on line ordering for adhesives such as RTV and hardware such self tapping screws and tapcons it worked well. However print and cut vinyl requires real vendor support, the higher quality you prints the more...
  6. Retirement, pros, cons, opinions and advice

    It was tough at first for me because of work ethic and habits, give it time and find something else to do. Family, church, hunting, shooting, photography anything but work stay busy and stay happy.
  7. Working with my Aero Precision AR 15 in 6MM ARC

    I went to the range with my AR rifle and 60 rounds of Hornady 103 grain Precision Hunter. I'm stepping up my effort to finalize my process to load the 103 hunting projectiles for regular carry in the field. I mapped trajectory for midsized game hunting from 50 yards to 300 yards with this...
  8. 6.5 Creedmoor Vs. 25 Creedmoor

    What is it with people, Hornady made a 25 Creedmoor, So What! If you don't like or want it don't buy it. Somebody made a 357 Sig, I thought interesting, but I didn't dump my 9's, my 38, my 45 ACP, my 44 mag nor my Makarov. Same for the 6MM ARC, I am fond of my AR 15, AERO Precision and the 6MM...
  9. 6.5 Creedmoor Vs. 25 Creedmoor

    It's Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and it's Badges, We don't need no stinken badges!
  10. Hornady Vmax vs Sierra BK's

    It's varmint shooting any varmint bullet that shoots accurate and flat enough will work.
  11. Accuracy expectations

    Hunting accuracy is putting one shot on target at what ever range within the capabilities of the rifle/shooter. A follow up shot if required but not desired. Who cares if you can put 5 or 20 shots in a dime at 100 yards. You my walk 10 minutes, or 10 days, it all come down to 1 shot.
  12. Need input on a 6mm coyote build

    If this is the case the short list is any 6MM that won't work.
  13. Still debating, 223 vs 22ARC

    I agree, bolt rifles with the ARC cartridges offer significant velocity improvements over the AR pressures. Do they compete well with other cartridges, new or old, in bolt rifles in terms of velocity, trajectory, wind drift and repeatable accuracy? The answer is beyond my experiance. I didn't...
  14. Still debating, 223 vs 22ARC

    Maybe I'm stupid but just because it's new doesn't mean it's good, nor bad. The 22 and 6MM ARC cartridges in my opinion are built for versatility with various barrel lengths in the AR platform at 52,000 PSI. In my opinion in 22 ARC the bangs not worth the buck for me. In 6MM the bang is worth...
  15. Still debating, 223 vs 22ARC

    Marketing and the internet always cloud the picture. The 22ARC in an AR shows possibly a very small increase in velocity over the 5.56 at 52,000 PSI with equal bullet weights and barrel lengths. I would not buy the ARC. The 6MM ARC does have an advantage over the 5.56 but if you're sticking...
  16. Still debating, 223 vs 22ARC

    I own a a 6MM ARC, AR15, a 5.56 2O inch A2 AR15 and a 22 inch 223 Howa 1,500. Looking at load data I'm not seeing much difference to write home about in bolt rifles. The AR in 22 ARC does show some ballistic improvement over the 5.56.
  17. Why does weatherby get a pass?

    From the perspective of someone who doesn't own any Creedmoor chambered rifles, I suggest you stop listening to the marketing and look at performance. I'm not saying that a Creedmoor cartridge outperforms any other cartridge in its class, just that they perform well for the case capacity. You...
  18. Why does weatherby get a pass?

    I think people don't talk much about the Weatherby because it's been around so long. By today's technological standards they're lower efficiency. I shot a bunch but never owned one, I do have a Howa 1500 in 223. Modern cartridge designs catch flak from the yackers, yack, yack, yack! In most...
  19. 6arc bolt gun

    What length fits the way you hunt. If you're in and out of a vehicle a short 16" will work, I've made hits on steel past 600 with my 16" 6ARC AR. A 20" will give a bit more reach, I have ax20" 223 that's pretty handy.
