Ready for Wyoming

[sendero72]

The 6.5 Creedmoor, I'm thinking of either getting another one in another caliber or rebarrel/rechamber this one. Shooting factory Winchester 125 gr. ammo I'm getting 1.2" groups at 200 yds. with this pistol. I'm going to sell some T/C stuff at some point to help fund the addiction.

Oddly enough the Nosler doesn't like Nosler ammo.

It also likes the Barnes 127 LRX but shoots the Winchester a little tighter, avg. velocity right at 2600 fps. I figure it will work fine on an Antelope.

Do you have a T/C barrel chambered for the 7x30 Waters?

What part of wyoming? I drove from Rock Springs to Casper last weekend, I didn't see my first goat till just south of Muddy Gap...Those goats took a beating last winter...Good Luck....

My wife and I hunted zone 100 inside and out last week.
I've never hunted so hard for antelope in my life.
We saw 5 doe's and 2 fawn's. Not one buck.
We saw 4 mule deer doe's.
I knew last winter had taken its toll on the herds here in Western Wyoming.
That whole area was obliterated.
We saw no antelope anywhere around the town of Kemmerer and only 2 deer.

Wow, that really surprises me. 100 used to be amazing. We're there elk at least?

Last winter was especially harsh.

Well my first antelope hunt is in the books. Had a great time, all four of us tagged out. I was the only handgun hunter. 260 yards, DRT.

Awesome antelope! Congratulations!

Did yours turn out to be a bigger buck than your hunting buddies?

Yes

Do you have a T/C barrel chambered for the 7x30 Waters?

I do, got the scope mounted up and on paper, just needs a little adjustment to get it zeroed. All I have is the Federal factory ammo, but I have dies and powders, problem is finding 120 gr. bullets in my neck of the woods.

Is that one of the guns that you're going to sell?
