Tell you what they don't respond to- incessant 27-note highballs.

I don't think anything does.

Yet thousands of hunters every day think they all do

I like to throw highballs at wood ducks.

[FlintRiverFowler]

You don't hail divers, or quack, you bbrrrrr to them. It does work to at least get them looking. Like any calling, it doesn't work 100% of the time but, 60% of the time it works 100% of the time. You'll have to factor in the 50/50 on some days though.
Hell, when we hunt scoters and, are off the line a bit, we bang on the side of the boat to get them to look.

I've called divers on Clinton Lake. He's right. Brrr em.

Coulda been useful info yesterday, always have heard there's no way to call a diver. We had tons of birds take a look at our spread(s) yesterday , but would come in close and flare outside the decoys and we had the boat hidden on another island and we were hidden well, I just think they've figured out what a decoy is this late in the season.

Down Payment for a TC Venture in 6.5-284 Norma with Hornady Dies and 100 pieces of Lapua. Just need to pay the guy $200 by the 1st.

best start saving money for new barrels. that chambering is a barrel eating sob.

I don't plan to shoot it a whole lot. But yes that's what had me etchy about the deal. But the guy ha only fired 23 shells. Still lots of barrel life left. Main use will be or hunting.

Not sure I'd believe a guy who said he fired a firearm only 23 times, said fuck it, I'm selling it.
I'd ask to see leftover ammo AND COUNT IT.

If it was just used as a hunting rifle, then that 23 times could be over 5 years. I get my rifle out the weekend before season. Shoot it 3 times, if it's sighted in I call it good. One or 2 shots at deer through the season, then it goes back away till next season.

It's actually brass we're counting. 77 new pieces of lapua and 23 once fired lapua all from the same bag. When Gene says he's only fired 23, it means that. He just developed a accurate load within 23 shots, but he was using matchkings.

Gene's standard of a "accurate load" is in question. TC venture??? show me a photo of the bases. lapua dont care to put norma's name on stuff.

kid you are so full of shit your eye are brown.you need to stop spewing shit out your pie hole. that hunk of shit TC would be lucky to shoot 3/4 moa .i still want to see the brass base. i have a truck load of Lapua 6.5x284 brass and there isnt norma anywhere on it.we been using 6.5x284 in long range Benchrest for a long time. a great chambering for 600 yard to 1000 yard but not in a crappy TC. fucking idiot

[T Man]

That works out to a 5 shot group that is .17" center to center at 100 yards. Not that is not possible, but the probability of that kind of accuracy out of a TC puts your buddy Gene in a world class group of shooters.

Not to mention that environmental conditions make it near impossible.


1/2 MOA at 300 yards? I could buy that. Maybe.

Just a note to you. A load that works great at 300 might not do worth a shit at 1 or 2. Take for example my 7x57 Mauser. At 300 it piles 162 A-Maxs on top of one another. That same load at 100 throws them all over the fuckin' place like a machine gun. And since I'm sure you want proof of this load, I'll even type out the recipe.

7x57 Mauser
162 gr. Hornady A-Max
Remington Brass
Federal 215 Match
46.6 grs. H4350
COL: 3.283"= .005" off the lands.

Sometimes you have that perfect day with no wind to mess with you, not too many people there blazing away.

[T Man]

Judges?


Ruling on the field still stands. You are claiming 1/6 MOA on a 5 shot group out of a TC Venture no matter how you cut it. You are sure you want to claim that center to center, your 5 shots at 300 yards were 2/3's the size of a dime.

The only flotation foam in mine is in the life jackets. They are definitely for a worse case scenario, but it is reassuring knowing I can pump more than 25 gallons of water a minute out.

Did I ever say it was fresh out of the box and a cheapo scope slapped on it, oh hell no! It's a bill hicks edition run, and the only thing different between this rifle an a normal venture is the fluting on the barrel an the 11 degree target crown. Then the action and recoil lug has been glass bedded. The barrel is free floated to where you can slide 3 dollar bills under neith it to the action. It wore benchrest mounts and rings with a high dollar 20 power 30mm Leupold with target dot. Of course I don't get the rings, bases, and scope but you see what was done to this gun?

[DeadEye_Dan]

Well why didn't you say so!!

Now I'm totally sold on a factory rifle shooting sub 1/2" groups at 300 yards.

I was thinking the same thing. Never heard of a sidewinder bullet that consistently hits as 300 yards. Would be good for shooting around trees.
