I’m after the 1:12. Hope to shoot heavier bullets but the thought of the lighter pistol bullets sounds fun. Hammer makes some 255 grain ones I’m interested in trying.
I’m not a fan, but my cuz uses them. Killed 15 animals. 5 were elk. Out to 421 yards. All were perfectly placed. No tracking involved and no follow up shots required. I’m still not a fan but his results as of now are undeniable.
Sounds like you have already described it. The 6.8 western. 22 in barrel titanium suppressor, a basic jerky flavor with mandarin oranges added smoked over hickory and apple wood.
I have the perfect truck for you. It’s an 05 Chevy. It has as a lifter going out. Other than that. Most of the things have been fixed, rebuilt, or upgraded.
I like your idea. Might be worth looking into those seirra blasters. Maybe a 5 or 7 power head string. That would help break down the bigger stuff so your smaller tractor and breaker would work.
Swapping the barrel outta my 6.5 Grendel. It’s an ar platform. Same every thing else. Using the seirra 100 grain pro hunters. It’s a good option for smaller animals.
Take a fired case, resize it and make it a little smaller. Drill out primer and then thread it. Put a bolt in the threaded hole. Chuck up in a drill. Put very fine lapping compound on the case. Then insert and spin. Do small amounts. Clean very, very well when done.
There are plenty to choose from out there. I would look on the south east side of continental peak. The spring starts there. Always a good spot. Takes about 20 minutes to walk.
