  1. Just got home from MCRD Parris Island......

    Yep, I was in the "Little End" also.
  2. Shilen Select Match

    A few years ago at the DSC Show John Krieger told me when he was building a 17 cal. which they didn't make. He called Ed Shilen and got one from him. That said a lot to me about Shilen barrels.
  3. Just got home from MCRD Parris Island......

    When I was a PMI for my Battalion we would shoot at Wilcox Range. The sack lunches we would get for the shooters from the chow hall we called "BAG NASTIES". And they were nasty, because they came from the chow hall. We used to tell a joke "What do you call a WM (Woman Marine) in a sleeping...
  4. .280AI question

    We use Nosler.
  5. Just got home from MCRD Parris Island......

    Mount MF, Reaper, Recon Ridge. They were all still there 25 years ago. I'm sure it sucks humping up them today as it did then. AND IT DID SUCK!!!
  6. Weather? I apologize to all Texans!

    We haven't had any water at the house since yesterday and today they told us the earliest that it will be back on is Friday but probably Saturday due to power issues. We have rolling blackouts because the grid is being overworked. Texas has people moving here everyday. The population goes up...
  7. Uncle Jack

    You don't hear a lot about Chosin. I never heard about it until I went into the Marines. I went to Korea in the winter of 95 and been on patrol with the ROK Marines and it is COLD there but it wasn't near as cold as Chosin. I can't imagine how cold it was at Chosin. A funny story that my...

  11. 284 vs 7-08 in 700 sa

    I went thru the same scenario a few years ago. There is a pretty long post on here about it. I went with 7mm-08 and glad I did. I would probably do a 7mm-08 AI if I was doing it today. No reason other than to have something different.
  12. My China Virus Test "NEGATIVE"

    I have been told by several people that are in the medical field that the quick test are not worth a crap and don't know why they are even given. I thought whatever, they wouldn't have them out if they were that unreliable. But after my son had a negative quick test and then the 24 hr test...
  13. My China Virus Test "NEGATIVE"

    Glad to hear your doing better. I spent a total of 8 hours in the truck. 4 hours in the deer stand and all weekend in the travel trailer at the deer lease with my 16 year old son. Saturday evening when he came back from the stand he said he wasn't feeling good and he was just fine when he went...
  14. Talk me out of a 308

    I haven't always thought this, but the years are starting to add up some. And I have had a few different calibers by now. If I was going to have a new rifle barreled, I would do something in an "AI" just to be different. Not that I think they are magical or anything. Me personally I have...
  15. One Game-Hunting Rifle -- What Would It Be?

    I just fell in love.
  16. Browning actions?

    I have 2 MicroHunter rifles. One is a 7mm-08 and is very handy in a deer stand and shoot descent. It's a solid MOA rifle and most of the time SubMOA. And I have never really worked up a load for this rifle. I just grabbed some 140 bullets I had and IMR4350. The other is a 22-250 and is...
  17. Help with 6.5CM Rifle

    I have a 5R MilSpec in .223 and it is a shooter. The 308 has always been a dud cartridge for me. I don’t know why but they don’t shoot for me. I have had several. Even custom rifles that I could take a factory rifle and out shoot them.
  18. Help with 6.5CM Rifle

    I went thru the exact same thing with a 700 5R MilSpec in 308. At best it would occasionally shoot 3/4 MOA 3 shot not 5 shot group at 100yrds. I spent way to much money in bullets and powder trying to get that thing to shoot. I sent it back to Remington. That was a waste of time and money...
  19. USS Alabama 16" Guns

    What kind of powder you think they use in those guns? IMR4831 or H1000?
