Youngest son with his buck taken last fall with the rifle I hunted with for 40 years. It’s his now, and on its 12th barrel. The first six were 220 Swift, the next four were 220 Ackley improved, the last two, 22CM. This buck was killed with an 88gr ELD-M.

Same rifle and load, same result.

@psinclair would he be interested in getting rid of that beat up old scope? I’d take it.

Yes

 

[Rie Bread]

Yes

Man that’s a bad ass rifle! I never thought a can and a wood stock would go together. Excellent

You happen to have an extra set of 220 ackley improved dies?

I might..I’ll check next time I go to the shop.

 

[Justabirdwatcher]

The 6.5 Crudmore is junk. Please PM me for payment on all your copper .264/6.5 bullets that are now worthless and you want to sell.

You already got all of mine. LOL

These were standard RCBS 220 Swift dies, that were reamed out to Ackley Improved (40* shoulder) with the same reamer that was used to cut the chamber. They had to be annealed to do it. I used them for years with no issues.
If you want them you can have them.
I have no use for them. Send me your address and I’ll ship them this week.

First three 107 tmk’s out of this gun. Cheap savage. Ease to get to shoot might be a reason someone would hunt with creedmoor.

That's pretty good velocity, even for 107's. 22" barrel?

20” and a suppressor.
