Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Rifle recommendation for a newbie that doesn't reload

Fred,

If I get the chance I'd pay for 6 or 7 guns, as long as they aren't rusted to the point of inevitable mechanical failure.

Never used PPU brass. So far only R-P fire formed or Nosler. Regular 280 brass was a little tough to find in R-P last time I stocked up. I see Hornady has it regularly though. Last time I used Hornady brass it was 45-70. Not bad but a little short.

Boys up in Brooklyn now, making minimum wage wishing he knew a cutter, blah blah blah...... where's big Slouch????

thats what she said

Been using 280 R.E.M. Brass from Norma and it's been a good lot so far.

Ha! I just tickle em' to death with it. And, it is all about me.

I'll check Norma out. I'm good now for quite a while as I'm primarily a hunter and not a target shooter. When it comes to plinking or target shooting I just break out the 22LR or the .223. My .223 is basically set up the same as the 280 sans the bolt throw so not much difference when it comes to practice. That and most of my "target shooting" is done with a Glock.
Looking hard at a 6mm Creed though for goofing off purposes. That would be more practical for my wants and needs than a 6.5. Looks like it is gaining ground and pushes the 108's and 115's nicely. Nothing a .243 won't do though and the whole COAL thing isn't a big deal to me. I don't competitively shoot or whine about not fitting the longest, sleekest bullet in the magazine. I just make the first shot count.

Oooos sorry big Slouch.... wheels down in Boise bitch....

204 32 gr vmax...

Is that a young corsican or mouflon ram? In SW Idaho?

Mouflon

Big day here got the gopher killing components and not a 75grn anything in the box.

You sober up yet Jud beer sale is on at the AMPM.

Fred, you going for gophers in WA orID?

Wa. By colfax, got a bro with some ground And north of Ellensburg. Got a couple sneak spots between the two. Marmot To be technically correct. We only fire about 400 rounds a day so it's not Prairie dog action but it's funny to see the bros and kill stuff.

I've been going down to the Boise area for the last ten years and it's been great but would like to put together a local group for a two or three day get-together.
W. Bill

That would be a good time keep us posted

If a group gets set up then I would be down to go for sure.

Betting I could talk heavywalker and maybe Judman in.

that'll be a 'stick-chaser' convention worth remembering......

At your age remembering ain't in the cards.
