    Northern Illinois Lease, Hunts Available (Boone Co., IL)

    All, I have a lease I just secured in Boone Co., IL. It's an amazing piece of property and I spent a little too much on it. In order to get back into good graces with my wife I need to recover a little bit of my funds so I am looking to share the lease in some way. If someone wants to come up...

    I have a new (built last year) Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel in their Sendero contour, 30 cal, 12 twist, 20", still in the original shipping container--unused.

    Hornady ELD-X Official Thread

    Coyotezapper, It seems that you have a really nice system for load development. Although it sounds like it should be a fairly trivial process, load development tends to drive me bonkers at times. This is especially true with a new barrel--get everything just right then 50 rounds later it all...

    Over annealing cartridge brass

    I'd love to use Bertram brass but **** it's expensive. I paid $1.90 ea. for the Jamison through CheyTac. What are you paying for Bertram and where are you buying it?

    Over annealing cartridge brass

    All, With regard to Jamison CheyTac brass, is it beneficial to anneal before the first firing? I have been annealing after each firing but not before the first. I just want to make this stuff last as long as I can between the lack of accessibility and the somewhat hefty price. Kirby...

    Proof Research custom rifles

    The stock is a "Remington Hunter" by McMillan that was painted by Central Arizona Firearms. It also has an Edwards recoil reducer in the butt which seems to change the recoil from a "kick" to a "shove".

    Proof Research custom rifles

    I have no idea what it all weighs but I am sure it's much lighter than the option via a SS barrel. One of these days I'll have to put it on a scale just to see. The CheyTac was done by Shawn Menzenberg (straightshootersupply.com). Here's the 300 WM (By Ray Bowman).

    Proof Research custom rifles

    So, I randomly stumbled across this thread via a Google search so I decided I'd follow up on my earlier posts. I have long since had my .375 CheyTac completed (XLR stock, Stiller Tac408 action, Proof Research Barrel, Jewel trigger, LRA bipod) and it's a shooter to say the least. .25 MOA is...

    Looking for the Right Outfitter

    All, I just moved to NC and I am looking for good outfitters within a day's drive of Central NC. My ideal outfitter would be reasonably priced on five day hunts, has a reputation for success, and can provide opportunities at decent distances. I have searched the web but I would love to hear...

    Need a 210 gr Accubond LR

    Thanks, Kenny! All I need is one for a dummy round. Would you mind mailing me one? I can certainly cover your expenses. On another note, my mom lives in Klamath Falls. Well, she did but she just bought a place outside of town but still around Falls. I may actually take my family out that...

    Need a 210 gr Accubond LR

    All, does anyone have a 210 gr Accubond LR (30 cal) that he would be willing to send me? I am in the middle of a 300 WM build and we need some measurements. Thanks!

    Stiller DBM X Alpha .300 Type 3 Mags

    Lakesnake, Did you ever build the WSM? I am thinking of doing the same thing so if you have, I'd love to hear the results. I would like to WSM but I am afraid that in order to be able to realistically shoot, and mag feed, the 210 VLD's I will have to go to a LA.
