During a summer prairie dog expedition, a serious varminter may shoot hundreds of rounds in a day. Value-priced components help keep a shooter’s budget under control. As a June Special, MidSouth Shooters Supply is offering 50gr and 55gr bullets in economical 500-round packs for just $34.74. That works out to just $6.95 per hundred bullets! These .224-caliber “Varmint Nightmare X-Treme” bullets feature a flat-base design with a soft point lead tip for good expansion.

Jeff Bartlett of GIBrass.com has some great prices on new Sierra production 55gr varmint bullets, .224 diameter. Two varieties are offered:
55gr BlitzKing with cannelure. Sierra item #9373.
Prices: $12/100; $55/500; $100 per thousand
55gr Varminter Soft Point. Sierra item #1360.
Prices: $12/100; $55/500; $100 per thousand.
Bartlett’s special production BlitzKings have cannelures, making them better for reloaders who prefer to crimp their ammo. Regular production Sierra 55gr BlitzKings (Sierra #1455) have no cannelure and typically sell for $16/box. Jeff also reports that he has plenty of the ultra-accurate ‘Euro’ 4895 powder, highly recommended by G. Salazar of ShootersJournal.com. This burns slightly slower than IMR 4895, closer to IMR 4064. It works great in the 6mmBR and .308 Win. Price is $100 per 8-lb jug.

Sadly, James Phillips (JamesinTN) has decided to get out of competitive long-range benchrest shooting. He’s told us that travel costs (gas/motel) have just gotten too high, and the process has become too much work, and too little fun. James’ decision means that you can purchase a world-record rifle for a bargain price. James actually has three rifles for sale. You can see them all in this Forum Classified Listing.
Rifle 1 — 22 Dasher & 6 Dasher–World Record Gun
This rifle earned James 3 World Records and is capable of earning more. Rem 40X action, Shehane stock, Jewell trigger. Mulitple barrels come with the gun: Hart 8-Twist 22 Dasher (world record barrel); Hart 8-Twist chambered in 22 Dasher, less than 200 rounds; Krieger 7.5-Twist chambered in 6 Dasher (for Tubb 115s) less than 300 rounds; Krieger 8.5-Twist chambered in 6 Dasher less than 400 rounds; 9-Twist Chambered in 6 Dasher for 108 BIBs less than 200 rounds. The bolt has had the firing pin turned and bushed. There is also a brand new, spare bolt with magnum bolt face. Total of FIVE (5) barrels chambered for this action. Price is $3000.00 (without scope) plus shipping. Add $1000.00 for the NightForce 8-32x Benchrest Scope and rings.

MidSouth Shooters Supply has a special running now on Sack-Ups rifle storage socks. You get six (6) bags, plus a bonus Hunting CD, for just $22.55, item 093-109MSS. These 52″ synthetic bags are treated with silicone to help prevent rust. The fabric is stretchy and fits easily over shotguns, iron-sights rifles, and conventional hunting rifles with small scopes. For wide-forend BR rifles with tall scopes, we recommend the Bore-Store Fleece Bags instead. The Bore-Store bags provide much more cushioning for your rifle in the safe or during transport, and they are treated with a very effective rust inhibitor PLUS silicone. Still, Sack-Ups are much better than leaving your rifles bare, and they will prevent nicks and scratches. With this special, the bags are only $3.75 each. Keeping your rifles in Sack-UPs bags also lets you move the rifles around in your safe without worrying about fingerprints that can lead to rust spots.

If you’ve been looking for the Russian primers, Wideners has them right now at very attractive prices. These primers have given extremely low ES/SD with many popular powders including Varget. The small rifle primers (Wolf WFSR, item 647) are $18.50 per 1000 or $87.00 for 5000 ($17.40 per 1000). Large rifle primers (Wolf , WLR, item 655) are slightly more: $19.00 per 1000 or $89.00 per 5000. Many of the top across the course shooters have had very good luck with these. When Jackie Schmidt tested some a year and a half ago for our joint 6BR/Railgun project, however, he found a few per box that seated deep in the pocket–so you may want to watch your primer seating depths carefully at first.

If you don’t have a vibratory tumbler yet, here’s a real bargain. Now through the end of June, 2007, MidwayUSA is selling its “Quick-N-EZ Tumbler”, item #587176, for just $29.99. At that price you can afford one of these just as a dedicated bullet-coater or parts cleaner. Most of the user reviews have been very positive, though some folks felt the older-style pumpkin-shaped bowl provided better agitation. Personally we think the wide-mouth bowl with clear top is a great idea. This lets you see the “work in progress” without having to unscrew the top. Click HERE for product reviews.
