Thank you

Your market is slim for the XM size action.
I would post on both Long Range Hunting and Long Range Only.

I'll probably lose sleep over that LOL NOT

Having a Savage rifle is like taking your sister to the prom, but they shoot good, and nothing to look at.

Very nice - one of my all-time favorite cartridges.

I think you've been told some BS.

I cant find the drane
can you fix thes batterys i can male to you to fix
thanks frend

Which carrier? Interested in the 12. (Unlocked immaterial, non-Verizon can create issues for my Verizon plan)

Nice rig, great caliber

Yet another try. Hint.



To be continued. Hint................

Loving these responses...🤣🤣🤣

A few months ago, I picked up an almost finished, apparently never fired FN-action, custom .22-250. With her brand new 12x SWFA scope, bipod, and sling, she's a svelte 13.8 pounds with a 26" barrel. I've attached a picture below. The price, even after finishing her up and putting a scope on her, was right. That's all there is to say about that. It's time to sight her in and then work up some handloads. Part of the reason I got this rifle was to experiment with mid-range shooting and start using a scope with turret dials for the first time in my life. I have been very successful using Kentucky windage for hunting, but it does sometimes get a bit hard to make the right holdover or offset at longer ranges, so I want to develop my skills in that regard. I'm only planning to shoot ground hogs and targets (and any coyotes that happen to come out in broad daylight while doing the same) out to 600 yards, so I don't think I need to consider any of the heavy bullets, but I would like to better understand my rifle so I can have the right stuff on hand when I start experimenting. And, as you can see, she's pretty.

As far as I can tell, after measuring it several times, she has a 1-14 twist barrel, which means she was designed to shoot very light bullets, right? That is my understanding after reading this: https://www.ammunitiontogo.com/lodge/22-250-twist-rate-chart/#:~:text=For%20.,except%20the%20most%20heavy%20cartridges.

Is the chart correct that I should expect the best results from bullets 50 grains and under?

If so, are there any bullets which people particularly recommend? Ground hogs aren't particularly hard to kill as long as you hit them anywhere in the body, but I would like something that gives accurate results as far out as possible.

I have heard of light bullets tearing themselves to pieces if fired in too fast a twist (I don't think I will have that problem). I have also heard of massive instability issues when using the wrong bullet weights in .22 caliber rifles.

I have also read the following on here:


From: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...342200/re-new-22-250-barrel#Post19342200

As far as I can tell, a bullet would have to be going ~5800 FPS in a 1-14 barrel to get close to 300,000 RPM. For reference, the factory loads I picked up for sighting in the rifle are Hornady 50-grain VMAX at 3800 FPS. Clearly no issues there. But that cannot be the entire story, right? Where does this 300,000 RPM come from? Where does 720 come from? Just trying to understand the science behind the equation so I can gain greater understanding.

I'm also trying to understand the relationship between twist rate and bullet length, because that must play some role, right? A 55-grain all copper bullet is longer than a 55-grain lead cored bullet. Surely that plays a role in the stability to some extent, right?

Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

I think it's worse in GP than the big cities in one way..the number of homeless druggies is in a much higher proportion to the taxpaying population. Back in the hippy years the Illinois Valley west of GP became a cradle to the drug culture...communes and the whole scene. The Josephine County authorities never cracked down on the drug culture, it became entrenched in the lifestyle of drugs, wrecked families, and entitlement programs feeding the cycle and now we are reaping the harvest of 3 generations of druggies...giving GP an unending supply of addicts far out of proportion to it's population. When all is said and done, it's a testament to the destructive human result of government assistance.

I've been lucky enough to find a B, F and a G, like yours, in that condition with the high polish receiver. Would like to find the other models to go with them but not holding my breath.

They appear to be in the 304xxx to 319xxx serial range but not all in that range have the high polish and if they did doesn't mean they still do. So, I think finding one like LBK's is pretty slim.

I wouldn't call it food. If you think it's food, just see how long you can live consuming nothing except alcohol. It would be more accurate to call it a dose dependent liver toxin. You can consume enough alcohol to kill you pretty easily. You can't consume enough THC in any natural form to kill you.

Not only that but the Asians have used marijuana as a food source for over 2000 years.

The Hornady 11th edition manual lists a max of 41.5 grains of Varget with 139 grain bullets for the 7mm08 with a velocity of 2800+. That includes the 139 grain GMX. H4350 isn't listed.

He will be a man alone on an island .

The Senate will not confirm a single cabinet member unless they are Swamp/Establishment approved.

That will put his administration in the same boat as 2017.

He will not get elected, but if by some miracle he manages to pull it off, Jeffries will impeach him on day one and the Senate will convict

No need, I do appreciate it though. I will subscribe and buy the back issues I want.

Thanks Darryle

I thought about my strange catches over the past 65 years while fishing last week.

Had a young sea lion grab a crankbait near San Pedro Island in Mexico. He tore off at full speed, lost most of my line.

Was trolling along on way back from Tortuga island in Sea of Cortez. Suddenly the reel started singing! By the time we turned the boat around and gave chase the thing had stripped off half the line, 150 yds. We chased it for 45 minutes gradually gaining line. It wouldn't stop or turn. Finally got the boat close and discovered the lure had caught the very tip of the tail of a gigantic 10 foot basking shark! We had used up some time and it was getting close to sunset, so I cut the line and left the area.

Like others I caught a few birds. A blue footed booby and a western grebe.

Not sure if these qualify as strange catches or not:

Lost a floating rapala to a largemouth bass and caught the bass several hours later and got the lure back. (10 acre pond)

Was flyfishing Honoeye lake in NY in front of where my grandfather's cottage used to be. Caught a small sunfish on a popper. Stripped it in quickly and a 4 lb largemouth grabbed the fish! The sunfish fell off the hook and the popper hooked the bass which I landed.

Pickled herring

Seconds on the bipods if they are Harris brand

I believe that airplane mechanics are generally trying to do their job correctly and I don't bìtch incessantly when they make a mistake or fail to do the job correctly. But I appreciate the ones that take their job seriously and do a good job.

That's the difference between me and you, reasonableness. All you do bìtch an besmerch.

Looking for some cheap used single stage reloading presses. Nothing fancy, Lee's will work.

still looking. I would also consider buying a .223 bolt if there's one looking for a home.
