You can't get much better than a 22-250 in a .224 offering for long-range "work" if you stay with the .224 bullets. The only drawbacks with the 22-250 are that throat life is shorter than others and powder use is more than others. That said, it will take a lot of ammo to burn out the throat and...

It's really very simple...if the bullet doesn't touch the lands, the distance from the bullet to the lands is the "jump". Some bullets require SOME jump to be accurate. How much depends on the bullet and you just have to experiment to find out. If the bullet touches the lands, there is zero...

Start with what the bullet manufacturer recommends. Once you get your best group, start playing with the seating depth and see if it improves your grouping. I shoot a lot of Barnes bullets and their recommendation is to start at 0.050". The only caution I can give is that bullets seated too...

Use the data published by the bullet manufacturer.

Go to Petco or any pet store and get lizard bedding. It's the same thing (crushed walnut shells) and a hell of a lot cheaper than a gun store.

I was just out there yesterday and grabbed a brick of SR primers. Their supplies are low, but they do have some stuff. Just depends on what you want. It's slow enough right now that you can go there and just hang out until they let you in.

Tuesday is good. We'll be at the 150 range about 10:00. I'll have an olive drab long-sleeve green shirt on. Name is Jerry

Let me check with my regular partner and I'll get back to you.

I have three rifles to sight in sometime the first week of February. Want to meet up for an eyeball at the 150?

Call the landings and ask if any of their boats are doing shark trips. A few here in the San Diego used to do them. I'm a retired captain and we used to run them out of Oceanside. Mission Bay and San Diego did too, but I'm not sure what's going on now. You can always do a private charter.

The biggest problem is that SOME politicians and almost ALL of the news organizations refer to AR's as "assault weapons", which they absolutely are NOT. An assault weapon is a fully-automatic weapon used by the military for war. An AR is a semi-automatic rifle, nothing more and nothing less...

EF&G or D-16 or both?

Escondido Fish & Game Association range in Escondido. Hunting...D-16

That's 14 states where IN THEIR OPINION, the weapon is legal. You'd better double and triple-check with someone with knowledge in the state you want to hunt if it's legal or not. It's your ass that's going to get the ticket and "They said it was legal!" ain't gonna cut it.

No. It's only the bullet. The skirt is thinner and the base concave. When the powder goes off, the skirt expands into the rifling and seals. No wad or patch. Nothing but the bullet.

You also might want to check out the San Diego Varmint Callers group. We do a lot more than hunt varmints. Comprised of all kinds of hunters...birds, big game, varmints, fishing...you name it.

You might want to contact the San Diego Varmint Callers. Not much going on right now because of the Covid, but it's a great group.

Try the sabot round in the 1:48. For the 1:60, you are relegated to a ball-shooter, but there are non-lead balls out there. I have not tried any, but an earlier post said they shoot fine. You'll just have to try them to see.

.45 Hawken (but I do have a 50 in-line as well and used to have a .54 percussion, but sold that to my brother).

I shoot a 50 cal in-line and a 45 Hawken. For the in-line, I use the 245 Spitfire MZ BT with the HPH-24 sabot and 90 grains of Blackhorn 209. For the Hawken, I use the 10mm (.400) 195 grain Expander MZ with a tan 45 caliber MMP sabot. The load with that one is 90 grains of Triple Se7en FFFg. For...
