Spend my Bonus - Part Deux

RL26 is unicorn dust.

Well there just happens to be an 8 lb jug of unicorn dust in my closet, but that’s devoted to my 6.5 PRC barrel.

SRP brass and RL26?

N560 and srp brass.

At the barrel length you are looking at there’s only a 75-100fps difference between the 22-250 and the creed.

#1 for me

...aye

Wow! Better by two at that price!

If I were you and seeing how the economy is going to tank real soon due to the current administration I would put the money in the bank cause you’re gunna need it.

Couldn’t even go through a cartridge post on hunttalk without it turning political. Guess that’s the way of hunttalk anymore

Hey, he asked how to spend it and I’m saying don’t spend it and tuck it away and I had to have a reason other that “I said so”. This is a valid reason, if you don’t like that fact, oh well.

My man, that is dependent on inflation not skyrocketing, thereby rendering @Potsie 's $1500 relatively valueless, and on the FDIC (which only insure $250k in deposits) remaining solvent.

Building a sweet, sweet .22-250 rig slinging 77gr. chunks of American Exceptionalism that will only appreciate value in the coming financial hellscape is, in fact, the *only* prudent course of action for our foresighted Idaho friend.

Carry on.

If you go to another .223, go Wylde; 5.56 will always be around and dirt cheap for plinking. Save the .223s for varmints/game.

A sweet rifle does not pay the bills unless sold…so yeah…carry on…

But it CAN put food on the table.

An 8 twist 22-250? Yeah, keep that and shoot the barrel out. Absolutely no reason not to.
I'd shoot 62gr ELD-VT and never look back. Once you've shot the barrel out, get a 7 twist in whatever headstamp you feel like.

This is where I’m at. My rifle doesn’t love the ELD-VT. They shoot about 1 moa . I have a mostly full box I’d sell you on the cheap. I had some Varmageddons too. My rifle loves the 69 grain tmk, and they’ve proven deadly on yotes.

If that $1500 becomes the deciding factor in my family’s financial future I’ve failed as a husband and father.

But thanks for your concern, cupcake.

 

[Potsie]

This is the winner for me as well.

And if it does what you need of it, might be a hard sell to not just replace it with another takeoff for much cheaper and not need more dies and components or an expensive barrel on the next one either.

Prophetic.

Just bought a stainless take-off from the classifieds on that other tikka obsessed forum. Hard to pass up a $120 for a 1:8tw barrel to stick on the shelf.

I picked up a rokstock with a little longer lop off there

Better? Let me know when you want to sell it.
