New York hunters

[Patocazador]

Nice pat, I did some more work on my Argentine mauser in 7x57ai, the last few weeks.I reamed out the neck so factory ammo should work fine now, still have to shoot it hope it's still a tack driver. If so I my try to buy those does off patocazador if he still will part with them.

Beautiful gun Troy. If you still want those dies, you can have them for $25 + shipping. I lost my BEEOOOTIFUL 7x57 AI Husky in a thunderstorm when I laid it down in a cypress swamp. The water came in buckets and covered it up. All cypress trees look alike. Someone else found it 2 years later and gave it back to me. It was rusted shut. So the dies won't help me anymore.


Daniel: I lived in Rochester back in the early '60s. Worked at a place called Archer Ford on Monroe. Nice people there.

You’re down your southern New York right? Have you ever tried hunting on West Point? Or in The Bear Mountain area?

No never there I am about a hour north east of bear mountain. I am by the Delaware where it meets new jersey and Pennsylvania. I have about 1500 acres of state forest am trying to hunt. Tho it's close to where I live the terrain is much different from what I am used to.

It might be a bit more for postage Troy. I'll package them up and take them to the P.O. and see what it is.

We just got a 30 day "stay at home' order from the governor so it might be a day or so before I can sneak down there.

No rush, I was surprised they did not cancel opening day trout today.

 

[Patocazador]

I was wrong about the postage. The all-knowing internet says $8.30 for a flat-rate box.

I'll see if I can get it out to you today or tomorrow.

I buy a lot of dies off ebay and the gun forums. The small flat rate box it the way to go for one die set..

I have a set of 270 RCBS dies comeing in on Friday and four sets of Hornady dies comeing in on Friday as well. Buying dies if a new favorite hobby. Then picking up that caliber of brass and getting them set up.in my Hornady Lock.n Load press.

Next week I will be on a bullet binge. .

Yesterday I took my grsnddon shooting and shot the Interarms 22-250 and the Ruger 77 in 25-06. I need to shoot the 22-250 some more after I switch out the scope on it. I got it hitting ok, but it's a cheap scope and nothing I want to use

Last two bullets, shooting from a rest.


I had a bunch of 25-06 bullets. I put a Leupold scope on this gun and love it. It took about five shots to get it sighted in and amazing the group it shoots.
Seven shots with a chesp rifle rest.




My new to me New York deer gun for 2020 deer season.

What distance? Fantastic group!

 

[Highland Lofts]

I shot these at 50 yards. Now I will make some hunting cartridges up and get it dialed in to about 75 yards, my average deer shooting distance.
Very seldon go over a hundred yards on deer where we hunt.

 

[troy fairweather]

How are you on 2506 brass, I'd still call that moa since its 7 shots.

 

[Highland Lofts]

I bought a couple hundred pieces of 22-250 and I have to see how much 25/06 I have here. Should have enough.

I have to get some 7x57 some day, I'm getting low. A few pounds of powder, some more 140Gr 7mm bullets. going to make some 175 grain loads but the 140 just work so good. Lots of guns need shooting to.

If you can make it up here, region 8 is a veritable gold mine of deer, if you can find a place to hunt.

we have deer all over in 3m, just hard to find land to hunt. The state forest near me is very different hunting then I'm used to. It's higher up and more Rocky. My used to low area's of farm land.

 

[Highland Lofts]

There are plenty of deer in Broome & Chenango counties with available open land if you put the time in to shoot them.

The hard thing is picking what gun to use lol.

 

[Highland Lofts]

I really like that 25/06 Ruger 77 I picked up.
I think I should sell that Interarms Mark X 22/250 and buy like a 264 or 280 Ruger 77 for deer hunting.

On gun shop in pa has a mk2 in 280, been there for awhile for some reason. If I get some money is see how low he would go. Very hard to get a 280. There are bunch of actions online and I'm broke, my have to sell some stuff to get one of two.

 

[Highland Lofts]

I will have extra cash here in a week or two but I need about three scopes for that Ruger 77/44, a 22TCM RIA rifle, a older Winchester model 70 in 22/250 with a bull barrel begore I buy more guns.

I have a **** load of 22lr rifles & 410 shotguns I should dispose of and replace them with deer hunting rifles.
