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

R&R the front lower control arms and outside tie rods. Working on the garage floor with no air tools is a beyotch.

Gotta get it done so we can get it studded up for winter.

fatjack, in answer to your question earlier...I flyfish on occasion, usually in creeks for trout.



On occasion for Snot Rockets...



And in answer to your .222 question, I like Remingtons....heres one I built with a grouse that absolutely lost his head over the rifle....

Dood, Taylor Swift called and she wants her song back

Good evening, denizens of the BTE!

Got a chance to sight in the new Bush on the T3 SL today with75 gr Amaxers. Spent about 5 hrs shooting-half or more of which was walking back and forth 210 yds each way. Got to get a spotting scope! She sure does shoot...running about 1.3" at 210 yds for 5 shots. The best three shots were sub 1". Took some phots of targets and rifles (had the 5R out as well), but Photobucket is NOT cooperating and neither is my ancient VAIO. I'm buying an IPad.

Anyway she shot great with 23 and 25 grains of Varget and TAC. Oddly enough the 24 gr of Varget looked like a shotgun pattern--weird. I also noticed the TAC
loads shot noticeably more to the right than the Varget!?

Absolutely no pressure signs whatsoever at those loads tho approaching book max. I'm going to load up some more tomorrow and creep up the scale. Unfortunately, my chrono just took an apparent schit and won't read so I have to guestimate velocities. The 23.0 gr Varget load seemed to match up very closely to ballistic drops indicating 2700 fps from a 22" barrel. Both the TAC and Varget loads printed very close in vertical dispersion. My 25 loads printed about 2.5" higher than the 23 loads.

Getting dark so I put up my steel plate at 450 yds and rang her 10 of the last 12 shots--had to figure clicks for the last 8 (different load). Almost too easy.

Quick equipment notes and shout-outs.


Travis, the Bushnell 10x40 is sweet! I got the Midway version which has mil
turrets to go with the reticle.

They had it on sale plus I got a $75 dollar rebate coming so it cost me under $150-a steal for that scope.

Rancho, your mag mod has worked beautifully! I've got the 75 Amax's loaded to about 2.470" (kissing the lands) and she feeds those and the shorty 40 grainers perfectly. Thanks again.

Will keep you guys posted (it is a .223 thread) but so far so good. Maybe I can nab a yote or two with it seeing as the rockchucks are gone for the year and we don't have the PD like you guys.

Later.

I've flyfished for bluegill down here. Pretty funny schit. I used a round dinny. My bro' and I would laugh like hell when that round dinny would go 'pop' and go under the surface and I'd rear back to set the hook and the dang bluegill would go flying past my head headed aft. Good times, they were! Never flyfished for trout, although that day's coming, some day. Only trout fishin' I've ever done was in those stocked streams in N.C. outside Cherokee. On those occasions I used an ultralight spinning outfit and Panther Martins.

I'm steadily making progress on my AR. It's not for hunting, not 4-legged critters, anyway. Put a Badass ambi safety on it, a VCAS sling, picked up 5 PMags and 4 NHMTG mags, and adjusted the rear sight drum this morning for the improved battlesight zero. Hit WallyWorld Wednesday night and grabbed another 200 rds.

Gotta get ready for the Mayan apocalypse, or the Zombie apocalypse, or the fiscal cliff, or...something.

Ummmm... Maybe I've done it a couple times

North Fork of the Flathead, pretty much anywhere between Canada and Glacier Rim is my summer AO 50-100 fish days on Westslope Cutts on a 4 weight in July is always a good time. Then there's cooking in Dutchies and beer guzzling in the evenings to deal with.

Summertime...

Pale White Cracker? Rollin' on the floor here....

I wonder, do you think she has chiggers?

Oily Owl was pretty good too, which reminds me, where have all the window lickers gone in this thread?

Good pics, Dan!!

And if she does have chiggers, I offer a premium scratching service that I will extend to her, among other things, pro bono.

Nice collage dude....beautiful scenery. Proud of you too....most of the Mick's I hang with still live with their mums and don't get out much....and they are in there 40s..... GFY!
