    New Mexico Unit 34 Elk Questions

    Congrats!! That’s a fun hunt for sure. It’s going to sound cliche but literally throw a dart at the map of 34 and you can find elk. If you can get there a few days early you could easily find some bulls for opening day.

    DIY Gun Rest Ideas

    If you make your own bags out of denim be sure to double bag the sand or duct tape them all around to avoid spillage.

    Freeze Dried Meals

    I add some extra water and 5 minutes extra time. I also put 1/2 the amount of water it calls for into the pouch 15-20 minutes before I plan to boil the water. It helps a lot IMO. I usually do this once I’m back to camp and unpacking/relaxing.

    Carbon fiber Model 70 build

    That is a good looking fixture. Will you be installing pillars? What bottom metal?

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    As long as your front sling stud doesn’t get caught/contact anything during recoil shooting off a pack can be very solid. I prefer a bipod as it allows me to get setup on uneven ground much easier than over a pack.

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    A lead sled is bad as it doesn’t allow a solid cheek weld/ proper alignment with the scope, doesn’t allow the rifle to recoil and can crack the stock.

    Plate ‘em up

    That looks delicious. Mind haze series is one of my favorite local beers also.

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    There are many ways people define accuracy and precision when referring to rifles. In a nutshell to me a rifle is only as accurate as the shooter. Give a proficient shooter a rifle shooting 1 MOA and a novice shooter a rifle shooting 1/2MOA and see which one can make consistent shots at game or...

    help - rebarrel Ruger Tang Safety

    Definitely send it to p_ham and have him work his magic. The Ruger does have a claw extractor but like mention it’s a flat breech design and very simple to rebarrel. I would recommend you have him rework the trigger and bed the rifle also. The angled recoil lug design of the Ruger can really...

    Installing QD sling cups into CF stock

    Use blue tape to keep the edges of your holes from chipping. Put the tape on the stock. Mark your center and drill through the tape.

    243 Twist Rate

    Almost certain it’s a 10 twist then. Certainly a great rifle and a factory trigger that can be tuned up very nice.

    243 Twist Rate

    Factory Rem 700 I assume😁 probably a 9.25 twist which shoots 95gr VLD awesome.

    243 Twist Rate

    I have a 8 twist rock creek on my 243 and love it. 105VLD and 7828 shoot lights out. As does the 88gr hammer hunters. Certainly turns the ol 243 into a killing machine!

    Pressure sign/load development question

    I’m betting you will get plenty of firings from the brass. When I start with a new barrel my process is load a modified ladder/OCW test and find the node. Once I find the node I will load up 40-50 rounds and start shooting steel and verify drops. Once the barrel has settled I will fine tune...

    Pressure sign/load development question

    Most barrels will settle/speed up at around 120-200 rounds. I would also be upset with only 3 firings on ADG brass. 7-8 firings I would be ok with. Do you anneal your brass regularly. Greenhorn- how many rounds down the barrel? Did the group size change at all or POI change?

    Pressure sign/load development question

    The primer looks good and the ejector mark is very faint IMO. Is that new brass or once fired? I don’t really worry about ejector marks especially if the load shoots great. Brass is cheap if you get a few firings from them.
