Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Just picked up 2K CCI #250 Large Rifle Magnum & 2K Remington 6 & 1/2 Small Rifle for $37.99/1000 at my local Sportsman's Warehouse in Southaven, MS this past Monday. I also got two lbs of H380 ($27 each) and two 100 count boxes of Sierra .308 175 grain SMK's ($37 each) at the same time. Primers were $32.99/1000 last November when I saw them last, so although it was an increase it didn't seem that bad. Midway currently lists the CCI's at $33.99/1000 and the Remington's at $38.99/1000, of course they're out of stock, but I didn't have to pay hazmat or shipping either. The powder and bullets both went up about $5 each, but in February I got six 20 round boxes of .308 168 grain Federal Gold Medal Match ammo for $22.99 each there, that was ridiculously low as far as I'm concerned.
  2. I'm in the process of working up a load for a freind's young sons to hunt whitetail with an AR, Windham SRC/R16M4FTT to be specific and also to be used in my Savage/Stevens 200 bolt action. Both are 1 in 9" twist barrels. The bullet is a Speer 70 gr semi-spitzer. I've got H335 and Win 748 (more of this, so that's what I'm looking at using), with Speer #14 show higher velocity loads using Win 748. Barrel twist will determine maximum bullet weight with this 70 gr bullet the max for a 1 in 9" twist barrel, Anything heavier and you'll need a 1 in 7" twist which then might limit you on lower weight bullets in the 35-40 gr area.
