Re: Help Support Long Range Hunting

I’m really liking my Nightforce NX8 2.5-20. I wish it had been offered in second focal plane when I got it, but that is an option now so you can take your pick. Just curious why would you want a SFP scope that goes to 20X?? Unless your only shooting on a square range with known distances....... I d...

Re: New guy here

Welcome Mauserdude,

I can’t help with reloading as I sold my gear 25 years ago. But others will no doubt have suggestions.

Are you interested in loads for hunting, defense, plinking, target, or...?

Cheers,

Re: 5.5" ballistics

Not 5.5”, but I have chronographed a 6” barrel with Barnes 110gr Blacktips and Maker 85gr T-Rex, both with my 762-SDN-6 Barnes 110gr. 1968fps Maker 85gr. 2223fps This puts the Barnes expanding out to about 275, Zeroed at 50yds it is about 27 inches low at 275. I don’t know the Maker’s M.E.V. but it ...

Re: new legend upper

Hey plant, Looks like the deer are in for it this year. I’ll be curious to see the difference you find between the 50 and 100 yd zeroes. My 12.5” KAK barrel with GSL 350 Legend can shot to the same point of impact at both 50 and 100 with the Winchester 150gr Extreme Point loads. I need one more rang...

Re: Micro-pistols

Priceless! We’re going to have a whole thread of guys bragging that, “Hey, mine is smaller than yours”! But it is interesting. I built a 6” in 300blk and 5” in 9mm. Looks like I might have to shorten things up a bit more. There is a definite place for having such a small, easily wielded, reasonably ...

Re: 350 legend & "cheatin" with strelok

All is quiet around here. Staying healthy and safe but more than ready for the lap pool and gym to reopen. I’m having withdrawal from them. It’s hard to think that deer season is coming up fast. I gotta eat more venison to empty the fridge! Give a shout when you’re out this way. I still have brass, ...

Re: 350 legend & "cheatin" with strelok

Hey plant.one, How you doing? Looks like your friend should have some venison hanging come the season. I finally got my 350 shooting well out of my 12 inch barrel with GSL 350 Legend suppressor using the 150gr Extreme Points from Winchester. I got it set dead on at 100 yards, then shot a group at 50...

Re: Choosing a barrel for my 350 Legend.

Hey CW, I just got my 350 shooting well. I did a 1.25” group (100yds w/ 4x scope) with factory Winchester 150gr Extreme Point ammo. I have a 12.5” KAK Industries barrel and GSL Technology can. The KAK barrel is 1:16 twist, though. KAK advertises this barrel with the pistol gas system for subs, so th...
