That's pretty decent advice, my 6-284 is built on a used 700 action. Just gotta remember that it'll take a little extra cash to have it cleaned up and trued but good deals are still out there.

Yes another place to look for sure, it's a bit harder for me being in the North country, but maybe worth the trip to go to a few and give them my name and #.
Don't recall where Spotted Horse is?.
Mainly traveled between Gillette and Buffalo when I was in that area.
Lot's of Antelope
totally understand, calling yotes/bears/cats is the juice for me!
Back when I was working them hard my goal was to get 90% of the ones that were sub 300 yards. The one's I shot at further I was ok on out to 500 give or take. They're a darn small target for this fella as poor a shot that I am.
My furthest was 634 on a big old male that decided that was as close as he wanted to get to me. So the bugger just sat there and barked at me
, until I center punched him with a 95 NBT out of my 24/06. Please give serious consideration to the big 6's, and 6.5's.
If you've skinned many yotes you'll know that the kill target is about the size of your fist.
Just a thing or three to consider.
Yes Sir
But seriously I've been doing head shots on all of my deer and big game, you don't have to track them.
most of all of my hit's are the same, loltotally understand, calling yotes/bears/cats is the juice for me!

Bison Barrels was north of Gillete on US highway 14-16 . Spotted horse only has 2 residents now and is unincorporated Bison Barrels is closed now I think . Hazer's father-in-law owned it he was a retired airline pilot and once told me that Hazer needed to learn how to tell people no sometimes .
One of the biggest issues in Business
We made water beds back in the late 70's early 80's and my brother ran the sales end, we supplied most of Colorado, and he couldn't tell people no as well as told them he'd have beds for him in a week, when we were back ordered over a month.
Spotted Horse sounds like my kind of town, is it for sale, lol
Well I had a good time when I was out there as well as around Dubois and Jackson Hole area

My 20" 6 Creed just stacked three 105 Hornadys right on top of three 87 Vmax… the whole group was under 3/4".
87s (@ 3200+) for most shots out to 400-500, further than that, it's the 105s (@ 3k) until I run out of turret.

I don't set the shoulder back until I begin to see the headspace on 80% or so of the cases in that batch becoming uniform in length or when a fired case feels tight closing the bolt back on it. I have a GO gauge for each cartridge I run and headspace barrels myself. I don't care to work my brass any more than necessary so I prefer to run a bushing that is no more than a thou under the mandrel I plan to use for my desired neck tension based on testing and tuning. I anneal every firing so the cost of premium brass isn't bad when you can fire it many times. I also load all new brass with a charge that's right at 90% of Quickload max to harden up the case heads for longer primer pocket life. I prefer the slower node over the fast for better barrel life.
You're correct, as for the many people out there shooting is the make up of many options that are presented.
The beauty of a forum is different perspectives bringing to mind things we might not have thought of, or at least for some time.
Here we can get information at hand a lot quicker than when I first started shooting.
The gun shows or ranges were your best hope for information.
