Sly,
Kudu's to you. If NUT and DOUG are Administrators you have nothing to worry about. Take that any way you wish, LMAO,

I sure hope Moosie got you the truck with the heated tailgate. Those Fords come standard with heated tailgates so people driving real...
Del,
My little DAGO BUDDY, how have you been? AND, how is my girlfriend, I mean, your wife doing? Tell her I miss her,
Sly,
I can make you a .204 bullet if you like. PM me your specs. I can't wait to test my 22 VR bullets out on woodchucks out of my 22 CHeetah MK 1. I am thinking somewhere...
Thanks All,,,,,,, I think
Seldom,
I am working on it. Groove Bullets is a relatively new company and I am working on bringing out additional calibers.
Presently in the works are:
22 and 6mm VR (varmint) bullets
6.5mm, 7mm, 30 and 338 LR (long range) bullets
6mm, 270, 6.5mm, 35, 375...
Dic,
I am in the testing phases of various calibers for various applications. I will be introducing new calibers in the near future, once tests are completed.
I am a bit confused. If you work for Barnes why would you want to use my bullets? Maybe I missed something, somewhere.
My bullets...
Oscar,
I am not sure which outfitters you are talking to or what their costs are but "some" offer package deals whereby you can swap out the animals in the package you don't want for others that you do want - of equal trophy cost value. That allows for diversification from different hunters. I...
New People? What about us OLD PEOPLE? I feel so left out
Speaking of OLD, tomorrow I leave the 40's behind. Dang, I am GETTING OLD.
Oscar,
Glad to see you made it back safe and sound. Hope you had fun.
BTW, make mine a Barqs, it has bite
Don
Dic,
4550??? My goodness, what bullet were you using?
We have never tried a ladder. I do have an 8 foot step ladder, we may just try that for ranging distance. Thanks. I wonder what I do when Dave falls off the ladder. Oh well, I will cross that bridge when I come to it,
After last night my...
Doug,
I like fruity pebbles too.
I often wondered why the manufacturers of cereal put 16 servings on the outside of the box when I only ever got 4... puzzling
Don
Dic,
The last coyote I saw around these parts was 3 years ago and my buddy killed it with his 6PPC at 250 yards on a run - it was running dead away from us.
The problem we have, often times, where we chuck hunt is that it is so flat. Obtaining an accurate distance is generally the most...
Dic,
Nope, I never read your posts as busting my door chimes.
I was merely being straight up honest with my answers.
There may be a more effective cartridge out there for woodchuck killing, out to 500 yards, but I have yet to find it. The CHeetah, as a cartridge would be mighty difficult...
Slydog,
Not to be coy, but I could care less about barrel life. My barrel will be shot out by the end of this summer. At present I have 498 rounds thru my CHeetah. I figure about 600 rounds and the barrel will be fried. This fall I will send my CHeetah back to Dan Dowling, the smith that built...
Jeff,
I use a 52gr berger bench rest bullet out of my 22 CHeetah MK 1.
Behind 44gr of IMR 4064 I get 4280 FPS, 10 feet from the muzzle.
From up close to 200 yards I don't adjust my elevation on my scope at all. At 300 yards I adjust up 1" on elevation. The rifle shoots VERY flat.
The...
Doug,
I am going to have to take a drive south of me one of these days and tell you all about the 30-06.
If its raining, and it seems like it does about every day lately, I don't go chuck hunting. I never seen chucks out in a driving rain anyhow.
Don
Crow,
Good luck, stay dry.
70 MPH? thats speeding.
We have some friends coming up tomorrow from Williamsport 1000 yard bench rest club to chuck hunt. They are bringing all their gear, rifles, big-eyes, and video equipment. They make long range hunting videos and we are hoping to get some...
hi Danr,
How about this:
Sako 75 rifle
338 win mag
206gr EXP Groove Bullet
CCI-BR Primer
80.5gr of Vit
Average velocity of 3034 FPS with a SD of 6
3 shot group at 100 yards = .650"
This was only the second load tried.
Don
Dic,
Short range, medium range, long range, extremely long range - I say yes to all of the above.
My best kill to date on a woodchuck is 660 yards using my 22
I use a 22 CHeetah MK 1 because it shoots extremely flat and the rifle is extremely accurate. Built 4 seasons ago by Dan Dowling out...
Crow Woman,
Congrats on the killing spree
I sure hope you weren't sitting on that 4 wheeler when you were killing chucks.
So far this season (started 12 days ago) I have managed to send 17 chucks to see their maker. We had a real good night a couple of days ago, managed to kill 5 of them...
