    6.5 Grendel for whitetail

    I shot 99 grain Hammer Hunter in my Grendel for a season using a CZ 527 24 inch barrel. I was using Alliant power pro varmite. Start at 99% of max load using standard bullets and move up until you hit pressure. Back off half to three quarter grain, Hammers like a little bit of a jump. Something...

    Historical long range shooters.

    Remember seeing a history channel documentary about him. Refusing to leave the pilot to die alone. Scope knocked off in the crash, seeing the bullet impact and adjusting to it. Amazing story.

    Historical long range shooters.

    I was in my late teens at the time, my friend was a couple of years older. He ask how many revolvers he'd blown up using a 44 special? Must of hit him wrong. Or the fact that we were so young, think he died within a decade of that. Remember the big hat and cigar in his mouth, if i remember...

    Everyone has a good day occasionally!😁. He was very condescending towards myself and and a friend in Dallas at a NRA convention. Made several remarks about dumb a@s people from the South that ask stupid questions. Maybe we did, asked about him blowing up revolvers, maybe he had been asked that...

    Yeah! O'Connor came off as a known it all as well. And he did have a vast amount of knowledge. But people loved to read his stories in the outdoor mags. He and Keith weren't the best of friends. But thousands upon thousands of .270 Winchester rifles were sold because of him.

    Bell's long range was measured in feet. He's famous for getting into elephant herds and shooting a big cow then running up a leg to get on top and kill the rest of them as they would become mad with rage and try to protect the cow..

    Magnum primer question

    Look for CCI mil spec #35 primers. They are CCI 250 magnum primers built for the military. Usually you can find them at a lower cost.

    Carbon barrel load development

    Only issue I've had with a carbon barrel is the break in time it took for it to settle down. Near eighty rounds, now with near two hundred plus its a real shooter.

    I'm guilty of doing that myself, don't notice that the issue has been resolved and add my 2 C.

    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    Deer inside of five yards on several occasions. Closest was coyote running from other coyotes, it was looking back when I shot it with a12 Ga.Turkey load at three feet. Then opened up on the five others that had been chasing it. I was setting on the ground with my 6 year old son at the time...
