I would like someone to come to the Yukon and work up loads for my 50 some odd rifles. I will pay all expenses except travel, you will stay in my home and be fed and housed exceptionally well and all I ask is you work up loads for my rifles. My only criteria is you are capable of shooting 1/4 moa with an appropriate caliber. I have come to the conclusion that I will never have the time to do this and I am buying guns faster than I can shoot them. You will be supplied with a vehicle, a range key and all the ammo you can shoot in a day for 2 weeks. No cost to you at all. We can load at night as well as drink some good Scotch or wine or beer, and if you're inclined I have some outstanding Cuban cigars.
I'm 100% serious any takers?
And before anyone asks, no I'm not ###!!!!

When are you going to have the time for one ??
As for me, I'm too old to have a hooker.... but can I watch ?? :D

With regard to the original post, I would love to but I have approximately 70 - some set of dies of my own to keep me busy.
I do know you have some pretty awesome toys to play with in your gun safes.

No hookers in the Yukon, love is free up here we're still in the 60's!!

I forgot to mention if it's after may 15th there is my cars to drive ( Ferrari, Z06, 68 'Stang, Jag XJS, 69 'Vette, 75 'Vette) and some fabulous lake trout to be caught. Then there is my plane to go to Dawson gambling at Diamond Tooth Gerties...............

Trust me you don't need hookers when you drive a Ferrari or Z06.

If your not ### I'm out
 
If I'm still off work I'm down, what kind of plane do you have? Where abouts in the yukon??

Edit: your in whitehorse and have a '67 Cessna T337B skymaster. (Sweet)
 
Iv got my T3 shootin sub 1/4" moa, working on getting it tighter but lack of funds for bullets and powder atm (and that's with full leangth sized federal brass)
 
What makes are the rifles. Pm if you want or list them here. Of the 50 what are your priorities or must have dialed right in? what choices of powder - my choice or yours? Iron or glass sights? Modern or vintage? Range? 1/4 MOA in what caliber? Which rifle?


Need to know more. Have time and will travel.
 
Take heed ..... Apart from the obvious benefits mentioned by the OP, one of the best attractions in Whitehorse is that beautiful 500m rifle range.

I'd pass on the booze and cars. That range is the biggest bonus to this trip.

Calibers range from .204 and 22 hornet to 50 BMG. Have Rems, Sakos, Rugers, Wins, BSA, Steyr and more also have 48 vintage Win levers to sight in. I have lots of powders as does the local shop and probably 10,000 bullets.
None need to make 1/4 moa just no point in asking someone to work up loads if they can only shoot 3 moa. The only one I expect something close to 1/4 moa is 22-284 in 28" heavy SS on Sorensen trued 700 SA, with all weighed and neck turned Win brass and berger and sierra match bullets in 80-90 gn. The 204 looks like it might do 1/2 moa with some work as do a couple of the 243s and the 22-250 HB

Cals off the top of my head are as follows;

204
22 Hornet
22-250
22-284
3 X 243 Win
6mm-284
250-3000
2 X 260 Rem
6.5X55
264 WM
7mm-08
7mm RM
7mm RUM
308 Win X 2or3
300 WSM
300 Win
300Wby
300 RUM
340 Wby
358 Win
375 H+H
44 Rem mag
45-110 Sharps
50 BMG

Old levers, several in most cals

218 Bee
25-20
25-35
30-30
30-40 Krag
30-03
30-06
303 Brit
32-20
32 spl
32-40
33 Win
348
35 Win

40-65
40-72
40-82
405
44-40
45-60
45-70
45-90

I'm working on several builds as well in 9.3 X 68 Imp, 416 Ruger, 9.3 X 405 and possibly chamber out 1-300 Win to 300 RUM with Wby radiused shoulder.

I have several chronographs as well, and all necessary shooting equipment.
I also have dies for all listed above, including old levers. Levers are all iron sights and the modern bolts are all glass.

Yes, we do have an exceptional range, and overall shooting facility. As I'm sure you know it's been many years in the making and lots of hard work for many of us.
As far as personal meat cutter goes, well, I give all my game meat away to those who need it far more than I. A lot goes out through Ted to his flock, as well as some other families I know, sorry.
