Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What does 223AI mean?

Yes, I am old enough for miles, and if you belt (okay...idle) around the countryside in an old 4runner the HJ60 will be right up your alley.
If you do visit and chance to wander through the Riverina in NSW, give me a yell and I shall get you access to a couple of properties on the river for a bit of fishing and pigging.
And if you can possibly stand to use old Brno model 21 and ZG47 we can also organise a bit of deer.

And depending on how old and fit you are, we could get you a wee bit of work in the shearing sheds....for a change of pace.

JS, knowing you got "flat" but don't think you got locks on that. We got flat here that makes A-cups look like the Himalayas. That said, Oz and the Land of Kiwis are top of a short list of go to places. Great lands, good folk, even if the gun laws are a bit constraining IMO.

BTW my computer is [bleep] to the tens and a trip to the geek guru looms. Y'all are gonna have to supply your own redheads for a spell.

Hi Dan

You know there are bunch of us computer geeks here -- if you described your problems, one of us might be able to walk you through a fix and save you some money.

John

She's lovin' it as well. You can see her plotting which life she will destroy first.

I love her.


Travis

I've never been there either. But I want to find my retirement spot within the next five years or so, so I can buy a place/property well before I pull the plug.

I plan on retiring rich, so I think I'd be fine.

But I would never visit Boxer. Lots of people have stated he is an "internet bully", whatever the [bleep] that is...


Travis

Boxer,

What are you using to launch the 75's at 3,675? I missed it.


Travis

Boots up and the CPU runs 100%...forever. Any click of any key or mouse locks it up...forever. Can't crawl inside to restore or anything else.

Sounds like your doohickey is broke.

Hi Dan

What operating system (e.g. Windows XP, Win 7?)

If you hit F8 just after the bios screen shows, can you load Windows in Safe Mode?

If so, you may be able to restore Windows to the last known good boot... That can often fix things up with very little work.

John

Was working up some loads for a Roberts some years ago and launched some 75 VMAX at 3,600 + fps. 85 BTs went 3500+. Seemed a bit high even w/ a 26" barrel. They grouped well regardless.

3700ish is rocking, be it .22s or 6mm 75 gr.

I love you Larry.



I'm serious.

John,

Windows7. Tried restoring via safe mode, but it does not allow for that action.

We don't wanna see pictures of that. Trust me.

Used to do the 75 grainers out of the 25-06 @ those speeds.

They kill crows...


Travis

Ya know Stu, If I make it down under, I'll have to look ya up... I'd enjoy that! Even the old shearing shed for the change of pace... give you Aussies a chance to laugh at an American trying to emulate an Aussie.....

and an old Brno Model 21 would be more than enough to enjoy... regardless of what I would be shooting it at.. living or stationary....

if ya ever make it stateside I am sure there are a lot of forum members here that would show you the better points of the American public, and some wonderful places...

I've had the honor and privilege to meet some wonderful folks off of this forum in my travels... none have been a disappointment yet, that's for darn sure...

AAAAWwwwww Trav,

I think you need to give Schtick a shot...

He's not really an internet bully... that indicates manhood..

I'd tend to think it is more along the lines of an 'internet punk' wannabe... I mean one can constantly see the anger he has to the creator for making him so short... so he thinks he has to compensate by showing how 'manly' he is... and act like he is talking down to almost everyone... and then inventing fantasies about people who 'do nothing'... or 'don't have anything' ... or never 'been anywhere' ......
while the only people that fits are evidently the ones that are 'impressed' by him.. aka his groupies...

besides, knowing your background, I'd think you'd find it funny to have someone get real defiant toward you, while staring you right in the belt buckle... midgets are funny, regardless where they live...

and finally where Schtick is makes him a candyasss by AK standards... ya wanna be real AK Tough, reside up in Point Barrow... use to go out with a gal from up there when I got out of the service...

she tells me, summer was the nicest 15 minutes of the year...

Used to do the 75 grainers out of the 25-06 @ those speeds.

They kill crows...

Drop 10 grains to a 65 grain bullet in a 6 mm or some sort.. like a 243 or 6mm Rem...

those can be pushed a little faster that 3700 fps...

they vaporize crows and prairie dogs pretty well...

the old Sierra 60 grain HP is another goodie...

very accurate, very explosive.. and using some of the 55 grain data, you can launch that one up to 4000 fps also...

turns crows or prairie dogs into raspberry jam, especially within 150 yds or so... not that you'd want to eat it.. unless you are an AK backwoods tough guy like Schmuck feeling the need to impress some lower 48 flatlanders from back east..

"Dave"

I thought you were going to live in Havre the rest of your days?

There's a chance I might wind up in Chinook, but that's all I'm saying here.

Calvary to the rescue...

'flave,

Outta da Poor Boy 6-284. Never had a Green OEM 243Win spout that wouldn't pinhole 105's,but this one punched out to 6-284 is a Keyholing Machine. Should whistle a rod through it,if only as a twist curiousity confirmation.

Pulled it outta dat stock last night and will Retrostalgia it in the Booner Patch ala Walnut Classic and 1" 3.5-10x non-A/O. 75's will kiss and drift the OEM magbox,so I'll burn the Alpha 2 fed Atlas DBM elsewhere(prolly aboard a 7-08AI/162's).





The 8" #3 Brux is did,but I doubt the weather will allow me to grab hold of it this week. The 'Plumber followed instructions perfectly.(grin) That barreled action will go in the Urban Sako Hunter and see 105's expressly and just might could become a new mainstay.




Have launched a coupla jazillion Hornie 75's in .224,.243 and .257".

All (3) of my 25-284's(22,23 and 24") will make 3700fps+ with both the V-Max and XFB ala '15. My 24" Hart 22-250AI will make 3500fps on the nose with the 75A-Max,my 23" Krieger prefers 'em at 3450. '17 will take the Poor Boy to 3700fps. Have launched lotsa 75's at 4K+ fps ala my various 257Wby's and the 25-06AI ain't no slouch.

The Poor Boy despite bein' Twist Chow,is but 22.5MOA to the 1K yard line,from a 250 zero in The Milford's less than favorable air and 59grs of '22 behind the 75...though it eats a full 10 MOA of 10 MPH wind at that distance. Will use it to form cases and for light hearted pursuits,while slapping schit about. 105's rate buildin' a rifle around and the 75's assuredly do not.

The .243" 75 V-Max's schit profile and generous bearing surface,make an OEM issued Green boxed smooch a breeze,but that's trifle consolation in the grand scheme.





No doubt the Rich Boy will steal the show...bein' Poor Boy won't 105. [bleep] it,barrels are cheap.(grin)

















DD,

My 22" 25-284 loves the 80TTSX at 3600fps on da nose ala '19,but admittedly '17 is likely a better option...as there's no more room in the case to add more '19. They track it's erector nicely and schit be in deep doo-doo,when I schlep it.

Though dat's a constant Theme.(grin)












'CUB,

Your enthrallment is hardly a "secret". Hop back into the closet,shut the [bleep] up and let the men talk.

You "hard charger".

Laffin'!











Shefire,

I enjoy your Imagination,almost as much as you do and I wish I could effectively communicate just how [bleep] hilarious your Stupidity is. Here's to you doing the best you can,with what amazingly little you have to work with.

The Barrow tidbit was a nice touch and you were REAL close...though Reality is that the sun don' even set for 80 or so days in the summer,which is just a smidge greater in duration than your "15 minutes". That sorta schit you concoct,is almost as [bleep] funny as you trying to talk boolits,barrels or the like. Always a treat to be regaled with all the things you almost did,with all the wares you almost had and from all the places you've almost been. Laffin'!

I reckon it right fitting,that Pretend is so "real" for you. Here's to your Imagination and to just how [bleep] badly you need it. Where do you amazingly inept Do Nothing Dumbphucks come from?!!?

Wow +P+.

BEST Thread ever!
