Title: Looks like I am pulling the trigger on the last of my must haves
Post by: JKEEN33 on April 25, 2011, 08:54:22 PM: Picking up the Ruger #1 22-250 tomorrow. It was the last on my list of wants and must haves in the safe. Now what am I going to spend all my money on??

Just never really thought I would reach the end of the list of gotta haves along with a lot of the price was great so I bought them anyways. 22-250 is a new round for me, so working up a load and a nice collection of rounds should keep me busy for a while. If anyone has any great varmint loads they would like to share I would love to hear them. Guessing I will start with the Hornady VMAX unless anyone has anything negative to say about them.

I've run across several of them, but always wanted one in a 22-250 for some reason. Finally ran across a nice on at a descent price. Looking forward to knocking off some coyotes with a caliber that doesn't blow the front shoulder out the a$$ end. Looking for a bobcat this year also and would like to keep it in fairly good shape.

The ballistic tip bullets like nosler and vmax put some big holes in them :chuckle: For yotes you should also try some ballistic tip noslers. Mine likes the 50g bullets.

You live in a fantasy world. I've said "now I dont need any more guns" many many many times. I always end uo finding "just one more".

Post by: HardCorpsHuntr on April 26, 2011, 07:25:06 AM: The more items I buy off my "must have list", the more my list seems to grow!

Don't ever tell your wife what you just wrote, "... the last of my must haves"

Post by: JKEEN33 on April 26, 2011, 04:59:20 PM: I agree there is always going to be the "I had to buy it because it was such a good deal", but I think everyone has a list that they really want to get into the safe and I have finally got all of those. Believe me it was a pretty extensive list and some of them are in there twice just do to good deals, but at least for the next week or so I am content. :)

Wound up with a great deal. 30 year old gun looks like it may have been fired just a handful of times.

Looking forward to getting it out and shooting it. I have heard both good and bad things about the #1.

I've never made a list. If I did it would take me years to make, and ten lifetimes to fill. :chuckle:
