Re: Huge load workup project for DTech AR

I guess it is too early to ask how it is doing. Are we there yet? :mrgreen:

Let us know. I am sure that Dtech will shoot almost everything real well.

Good Luck,

Re: Barrel twist and bullet performance

I recently noticed Joghotrod shoots a 204 Dtech with 2 barrels one is 1:9 twist and one is 1:12 twist. I would like to invite him and anybody else with experience to report which bullets are working and which ones don't. I'd be very interested and I bet many others would too. Thanks in advance, Mar...

Re: Co. PD Shoot Pictures

joghotrod - this is what I posted on another site regarding our little adventure. Trip was a good one. Shot alot of dogs, in fact jodhotrod is still there shooting today. I came back yesterday for work today. We did deal with some pretty strong winds at times and that made the hits more difficult. ...

Re: Well I hate to do this but I have to.

I guess I am one of the lucky owners of the M77 MKII. I bought mine from one of the forum members with about 300 rds. through it and it is one of my most accurate rifles. It only had a trigger job done to it before I bought it. I shot PD's with it earlier this year and it had more kills than any of ...

Re: 39 gr. sierra and H4895

I use 27.7 in my Ruger bolt gun and 27.5 in my AR's. I get about 3800 FPS in all three. Good stuff.

Re: Co. PD Shoot Pictures

You should know that around here there is no such thing as "to gory". :eew: So, let's see em. :stick: Gary I have some very gory ones on my laptop and I will add a few plus some of the Rattler I shot while out taking pictures. I shot the rattler with my Texas Defender loaded with #6 bird ...

Co. PD Shoot Pictures

Here is some pictures from the trip I am on to shoot Prairie Dogs in Co. These are some I shot that I hope are tame enough for everybody. Steve I didn't show yours because yours were too gory. The second picture is my first double on this trip. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/joghotrod/th_Pra...

Re: PD Trip To Co.

Maybe we should get pictures of ladies shooting instead of us. They would be better looking, I would hope. :wink:

PD Trip To Co.

I will be leaving tomorrow for Co. to shoot PD's with one of our forum members. I hope to be there by Monday and be shooting very soon there after. This will be my second trip to shoot Pd's and hopefully a very good one. I will have 3 .204's and one 6BR for the long distance shots. I will be bringin...

Re: acccuracy?

Hotshot, You may very well be right. However, it seemed odd to us that all shots continued to fall short, even as we added and added elevation. I was shooting factory 40 grainers and my partner was shooting 32s. Finally, my partner got his 6mm Remington in a Ruger varmint barrel out, and while I sp...

Re: Les Baer AR-15 fun!!

It looks like another black rifle addiction. Great shooting. What weight bullets are you shooting in it. Factory or reloads.

I am heading to Co. in June to shoot PD's again with my AR's. I can't wait. :D

They are fun.

Re: acccuracy?

Hey thanks hotshot ;) It's my take too that a 1:12 twist won't work with heavier bullets. It seems that the 204 isn't a LOOOONG range cal. Guess I'l stick with my .243 win. Actually I'm looking for a cal. for the wife that can do what a .243 can do with less recoil. Any thoughts? Why not get her a ...

Re: Queston about a load and Chrono speeds

I use BR-4 primers but the 205's are probably ok.
