Left, .223 with a Sierra 69gr match bullet.

Center, .308 with a Sierra 168gr match bullet

Right, .338 Lapua Magnum with a 285gr Hornady match bullet.

And a 6" scale.

It's a big boy for sure. :icon17:

I understand the whole idea of supply and demand but F scalpers

It's real bad in the computer graphics card market too right now. I was selling a GPU recently and had a guy try to scalp me in a trade+cash offer. TLDR, he wanted to get almost $800 in trade+cash for a GPU whose MSRP was $399. :shakes head:

If there is no serial number on the bolt, I'd hit GunBroker for a bolt that is in better shape. :tup:

Great find. :tup::tup::tup:

I have a 7mm Mauser Model 98 that was sporterized. My dad bought it off of a laid off auto worker back in the late 70's for $40.00.

Scored 2 lbs of RL 26 powder from the backwoods gunshop. :tup: I have to go back in that direction tomorrow. So I think I will get his last lb of RL 17. :tup:

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to scoop up what ever powder I can find. Worst case, I can trade for what I need. :tup:

Primers are gonna be an issue....:shakes head:

I'm set on primers. :tup: I have at least 2000 of each CCi 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550. Plus some Federals.

Picked up another lb of RL 26, and a lb of RL 17 today. :tup:

I am looking for some 5.56 blanks. We have a can launcher on the way and ammo is getting extinct. Anyone have a good source? Going to look for a cheap upper as well to just leave it attached to.

Everything is drying up with Jan 20th coming. :mad:

I got an e-mail notice for powder. Soon as I got the notice. I logged on to the site. Put the powder in my basket and tried to check out. Only to be told that where was no more. I was a too slow. :mad:

Just got this in the mail today.

It's for leveling scopes on rifles that have a flat top. It works good. Cuts down the time for trying to level the scope. Comes in a nice case too. :tup:

You know.....

The first can you launch has to be a Twisted Tea now. ;) :rofl2:

I’m assuming your getting a X-Products Can Cannon. I have one and discovered 2 ways of shooting cans. I nicked named them H.E. and Tracer.

H.E. - Can loaded bottom side down. Can will stay intact and exploded on impact with a solid.

Tracer - Can loaded top side down. When launched, the pressure of the blank pops the top and a stream of the cans contents follows the can. Can still breaks apart on impact but it is not as spectacular.

Of course this is what usually happens but sometimes it is inconsistent.

One thing to know, the recoil is similar to a shotgun so make sure you fully shoulder it when you shoot it.
