    Scope recommendations for Prairie Dogs

    The rodents are disease spreading, crop destroying, hazard producing, nasty life style, high fecundity creatures. Imagine a world with millions of rodents encroaching on human habitat, like having hordes of them invading parks, school grounds, play grounds, and places having innocent vulnerable...

    Scope recommendations for Prairie Dogs

    I am real olde & I like enough magnification to see bullet holes in paper at 200 yards when sighting in for rodent shoots - 18X max- 24X max, variable, with sunshade. Good glass helps to see brown rodents against brown dirt way off.

    any .470-.473 bolt face small primer usage

    Use other's experience - small rifle primer data for .473 diameter cartridges is extremely rare. Often getting stuff to work good is a cooperative venture. I use CCI 41'with extruded powders not to exceed 45 grains in - 6mm CM. 6.5 CM, .243 Win. reformed SP Peterson .260 Rem brass. I got a real...

    6mm Creedmoor barrel twist?

    I tend to believe that Sg values around 1.6 and under 2.0 are common to optimum or winning performances in LR BR shooting. I have shot some bullets that have had Sg values under 1.5 that have performed well. The JBM site is a good source for indications of bullet stability, their Sg...

    Is your favorite rifle custom made or factory made ? I have a close tie

    My rifles are sort of semi custom made. I scrounge up used rifles & have a gunsmith re-barrel them, true up receiver ring face & lap bolt lugs. After that I install trigger, and stock. I get stocks from Richards, sometimes I install recoil pads. I use JB Weld steel epoxy to bed. I don't do...

    6mm Creedmoor barrel twist?

    The OP made no mention of how he will use the 6mm CM. The 6mm CM is one of my favorite rounds. I shoot about 3500 rounds per year & primer availability is a consideration, & SRP's are an easy buy at LGS and I use them in the 6mm CM, no problems with extruded powders. I like to shoot rodents...

    What is life like in Las Vegas?

    Dry, (water shortage/deficit, Lake Mead shoreline is big, flat & muddy), hot, 2 life styles - common sense & crazy, close to California, good hi value restaurant eaties, lotz of hookers (escort capital of USA). Too dry & hot for me & uncomfortable with flamboyant recreational displays (sin).
