I have a proposition
- Thread starter c-fbmi
- Start date
And that would make me a .....................You've obviously missed the point.
Not offering any actual cash for payment and the poor fellow has to pay for his own travel expenses, and all you do is supply some food and scotch? Sounds liek a good deal for you if you can get some sucker!
I was going to comment but decided not.
Yep, little wind shear on landing on a bush strip. Dropped about 60' broke nose wheel off then flipped on back just so it wasn't fixable. Just one of them things, falls under sh!t happens, no one hurt.
You seem like my kinda fella c-fbmi... I wish I reloaded... I would take a couple weeks just to hang out, shoot the ####, hear about your hunts and have some good beers and the odd cigar... In fact, I'd pay forr the experience...
Some people don't recognize an opportunity when they see it... Doing something different appeals to me...
Hope you get luck in your search my friend...

Clarification
I did not say I expect any or all of the rifles to shoot 1/4 moa, I said the SHOOTER must be capable of shooting 1/4 moa with an APPROPRIATE RIFLE AND CALIBER.
No point in having someone fire your test loads if THEY (the shooter) aren't capable of keeping 4" at 100 mtrs, right.
I do have some loads and rifles that have known and recorded grouping capabilities, which will be used to determine if the shooter is capable. And no, they are not 375, 416 and 470.

I would love to do this, but I simply can't afford it. I shoot Mossberg ATRs (.308 and .30-06) and Savage 111s (.243) into 5/8" groups with handloads made on my Lee Press with Lee equipment so I am not worried about the shooting capability criteria, esp with Sakos and Steyrs, but...
I simply can't afford to handle higher end rifles because I can't afford to fall in love with such a thing. I am sorry, but I cannot chance it. What a vacation, both my wife and I could come up, but it would destroy our hunting for the year and that also is a high cost to bear.
Sorry, I wish I could take advantage of this obviously once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you for offering.

C-fbmi What do you do for a living?
Are you self employed?
If yes,what type of business?
To afford the toys you have mentioned....?
I am not the greatest shooter,or experienced in loading,but some things often seem too good to be true....agreed?
Sorry if I offended,it was not my intention

Too late! You commented!
Doesn't count because it's a political comment.........no content!
By gum, I would enjoy a project like this if I were retired. Looking at that list of cartridges, a fellow would have to work like a house a-fire to get them all done in two weeks. It is the kind of challenge that makes me stop and think but I'm married to the Queen of Hearts and have six kids and life is good, so there's no way I could take off alone for two weeks, much as I like a challenge like that. If you ever travel to central Ontario, bring along a few of your old leverguns and we'll get some loads worked up for them lickety split.
Actually I'm not really working loads for the levers, just picking low to mid book loads and factory ammo where available and trying to get them sighted in is all.
Well, I'm certainly capable of 1/4 moa shooting at 100 (I can provide video evidence of this) but I don't have much experience with wind or longer distances. Also, I'm unemployed at the moment so I guess I probably shouldn't run up the CC to cover the cost of the trip. Sounds like a blast but sadly, I am out.
I think for a start you should decide what bullet/bullets you'd want to shoot out of each gun taking into account use/twist/velocity ect.. I'd keep it to one or two per gun and try keep a common one across calibers if possible. Then find powders that would service most of a certain group of cartridges to keep powder types to a minimum, and a single brand of primers. Ladder test each bullet to find the sweet spot. A press at the range would be handy with all the prep. work done prior. Tags for each rifle with the load/loads that work. I think the planning would play an important role if you want to get it done efficiently and cut down on the endless multitude of options that would have you chasing your tail for a lot longer than 2 weeks.
