9 twist, 4 groove. 26" Brux. Stiller Predator action. 162g ELDM, 46-47g H4350 2750fps This was my target load for years....VERY accurate to 1K. Haven't killed anything w/ it yet.....just sold the comp chassis and put on a beautiful, classic BDL wood stock. Still shoots into .75 MOA at 300y...

Congratulations, sir! People comment a LOT of times that it's the "hard hunts" at which one suffers that are remembered most....... I BET YOU that this one will be a "forever memory" for you! Thanks for posting/sharing.

Please forgive the long winded diatribe, but OP has stirred up ancient thoughts.... Brings back fond memories... I 've only hunted over bait two seasons. I don't begrudge anyone who gets out hunting/shooting whatever you call it. Good on them. It's about the experiences and memories...

If you are a customer of "Hello Fresh" food delivery company, you've seen the frozen chemical cooling packs included in each shipment. There are a couple of sizes most times, one larger than the other. I've allowed them to thaw and then re-frozen them over a piece of PVC pipe w/ a similar...

I switched out my 2 Tikka short action factory plastic mags for Long Action Mountain Tactical billet ones. LINK: https://www.mountaintactical.com/shop/gen2-5-6-la-billet-magazine I have 1 Tikka 7-08 that I shoot longer Hammer Bullets and 162g Hornady ELD-M that needed some more room. For...

Steve, Bryan: kudos and congrats to you both and the whole team ( we know it takes a village,l huh?). With all the gonads and strife happening in the world today, it's great to see a success story come together. Couldn't happen to a better bunch of folks. Keep on Hammerin'!

Accurized R700, Bartlein #5 5R, 26": I suspect my 62.3g RE23 load MAY be pushing it. I didn't try further as the group began to open up and I had no pressure indications at work up. That said, 500y w/ either of these loads is MY max on elk/deer. Shot a Colorado cow at the neck/shoulder...

I went just the opposite way w/ a tang safety 1970's Ruger M77 originally chambered in 22-250. The mag box was JUUUUST a bit short for 6.5 CM and/or 7-08. Smith had to get another box and do some inletting. Might not be an issue w/ the Ridgeline, dunno. May wanna run it by your smith to ask...

Yessir, I've added a LA bolt stop and LA mags, so I have to revise the "stock factory" statement. My bad.

Used the 143g HH out of a .280 AI (3226 fps) this past Dec. on a cow elk. Bang flop. Haven't killed anything yet with the wife's 7-08 Tikka T3 (stock factory) & HH but have shot it quite a bit for load development for different Hammer bullets. Powder Grains Bullet Weight Seat Depth Off Lands...

Don't know what's the problem. I see them and it looks like others have viewed them as well. I'll try to attach them to this reply. Please let me know if you can see 'em! If not, w/ and email, perhaps I can send them to you that way. Lemme know, please. RIck
