Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako Vixen vs Montana in .223

this one has never seen a lead sled...

This one has!

ya... but TOAD likes the 264 so he's already much cooler than you... grins

No doubt about that, at my age and stage, I forgot everything I knew about bein' Cool.

but, been there, done that.

I'm down to 6.5 x 284 and 260 Rem, with my preference starting to run to the Rem as a 130 gr. Accubond @ 2800 fps muzzle velocity or less, a fellow can just about eat right up to the bullet hole.

Best

i do gotta give the piggie pic some cool points.

and a few more for the 6.5 fondness... i've dedicated one .264 to an exclusive diet of 130 gr. SS II bullets.

i can't get them to shoot for nothing in any of my 264's... how far off the lands are you?

there you have it!!! grins

i'm a 6.5 whore... i'm trying to love the 7's but that biatch is a tough one for me....

And I like killin' stuff with the Motanas.









GWB

you look kind of young in that last one.... grins

Rattle can it like a retard hopped up on Snickers and Mt. Dew and throw it in the water and you might have something!..

I've taken to shooting the 130 gr. Accubond in the 6.5 x 55, 260 Remington, 6.5 x 284.

and hijacking the man's thread

some more 6.5s

6.5 x 284




260 Rem

i'm right to the lands. they are not the tightest grouping bullets i've tried, but they shoot pretty good, ~.75" from a Brux Rem Sporter contour. this is the only one of my .264s i've tried them in, so i don't know how the rest would do.

the .264 eats barrels so fast that i usually just seat right to the lands, work up to pressure, and call load development done. sometimes it's over in ten rounds. the big 7s would be a better starting point, but i was so deeply invested in the .264 by the time i learned there was anything else, it would be tough to make a total switcharoo. a bushing plot Match reamer, a set of Redding Match dies, over 5K rounds of brass, a couple of spare barrels, ect...

but i do have a 7mmWSM, and two 7mm-08s

i've only got three 264's... none of which like the SII's.... i can bug hole with the Amax so i've just stuck with that. been hoping that i'd stumble across a load for the SII's but no luck.

oh, if i were in the market today... i'd buy the Kimber MT...

i think the AMAX would be tough to top.

but i'm thinking i need to try some of the 75 gr SS II .223 bullets. just for R&D.

I know scott had luck with them. i've never tried them. the Amax work fine for deer in my experience.

yea, the 75 gr. Amax are great bullets and easy to pick up dirt cheap from guys that thought they could run them through AR magazines.

That made me laugh..
