[eddiesindian]

awe man!........pitsnipe!...lololololololo

As a matter a fact.....I went to see my local FFL friend today and gave him the go ahead on my order.... Model 10 FCP-K. YEAH-BABY!
In the mean time.....Ill just keep shooting my Model 10 Mil Spec. 5R 24" 11.25 twist.
Makes the waiting much easier......I hope

eddie,


You'll LOVE it. The 10 twist will open up doors to looooong, sleeeek, (180 to 200 grain Bergers) pills that impress the 300 WM and 338 Lapua gang at the 1000 to 1200 yard course. Dope is everything. But doable.
Back to the show.

I hear that.... The write ups on the K model are great.
Im already sending simple 150gr smk out to 1K easily with my other rig.
Do I need another Savage.....no..........do I want one???....HELL YES!!!!
Ive got a stock pile of 168/175 smk I had for my gas guns but seeng as how Im not runnning rds thru it any more, I need another 308 to load for lololololololol

[missed]

I really want some 155 SMK Palma to launch out to 1k. I have like 900 175 pulls left, but want to see if I can get some more performance with the 155.

[pitsnipe]

Those 175 SMK's are GOLD in these darn hills with the "f" shooters now. And like GOLD.........as hard to find. Nice stash you two have there.
Back to the ranch.

Powder valley has the 175's in stock.

They had the normal ones and factory seconds. I would have got some more but I'm in good shape on 308 bullets.

Yer cheatin at that elev ya know.............................:)

[eddiesindian]

lolololololol...yes-sir.....
actually..the elevation in city is @ 3300-3800.
Up in the desert mountains and valley,s where we shoot at is from 4000-4400.
I know for a fact that Im exteremly lucky to live in such an area that has ample wide open terrain....the great southwestern part of Texas is fantastic for that. Couple of major draw backs.....the HEAT and the WIND.
\ I will say one thing though......Ive work pretty darn hard at reading wind conditions. Ive purposely gone out in 20-30 mph winds just to see for myself how much dop is needed...wasnt pretty.
Gone out in 20dg weather as well with boogers hangen from nose and all just to see how the low temps effect flight.
All in all?????????????????.....yes!...Im cheating....lololololololo

And one day I'm going to head out your way and let you teach me a thing or two! You can out shoot me thats for sure. I can shoot in 100 percent humidity though.

[eddiesindian]

oh-oh...you got me there fish
went out about a month ago. It had rained heavy and the moisture/baro were high. 60% humidity probably isnt much for you, but its something that were just not used to.
I started sending them out to 1K and realized that aftr the 2nd shot that they were falling short..way short. Started double cking this and that. Found myself having to come up a little over 1 moa. This didnt settle well with me. I know Ive hit @1k many times with adjustments for drop/wind/temp before. I ended up hitting @1k but wasnt happy about the adj that I wasnt used to.
Started heading back home when it DOND,D on me.........humidity!......boy-oh boy...talk about feeling like a dum-ass.
After beating myself up over the hole ordeal, Im glad I sent them out @ raised humidity levels. Gave me a hole new perspective.
