Hi, been a farmer & cattle guy for longer than i want, started machining back in the early 80's to repair equipment and firearm building. Took some classes at SIAST. Currently have a 15x48 Colechester and a mill drill for equipment. Look forward to learning more.

Welcome. We love to see project pictures if you're into sharing.

Funny, you've been a farmer and cattle guy longer than you want and i wish I could be!
 
Thanks guys. I've already picked up some good info. Always ready to learn as long as it's not to tech oriented, even new farm equipment scares the hell out of me with all the computer stuff in it.

I like it when farmers and people in rural areas join the forum. It's as if their DNA is wired to solve a problem without reliance on commercial products, and their tool of choice is common sense.
 
I have a very accurate Tikka in 6.5x55 and recently picked up a 260 Rem. I'm looking at the 6.5x47Lapu as well.
 
6.5X55 is a time-honoured cartridge. Can be very accurate, particularly in the 130gr range... I use Berger bullets, which seem to be very well made, and can be used for hunting.
 
Generally use Noslers for deer and moose, Lapua and Hornady for targets. I also have a pair of 264 Win mags, both shoot very good. Love the 6.5 cal.
