desparado Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 He certainly can shoot, that's for sure. He is one of the big guns from way back. I've been trying to get him back into the League for years. Hope to see you over the Christmas break, Shug. Cheers, Des. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuggie Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Des, No immediate plans to get back into target shooting just now. Going for a bone marrow transplant around March. Attending hospital every 3 weeks at the moment for treatment. Still managing to shoot a few deer. If you fancy coming down for some venison stew, give us a shout. Would be good to catch up.

gbal Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Shuggie, you are quite right-the BooBoo was the 30 cal,and the mighty Yogi was a super mag 338 - my memory has never quite been the same since standing too close (ie 30 feet) to Dave Ryan test firing his Yogi beast . Gbal Checking back n my correspondence about twelve years,Dave Tooley's 'proprietary' reamers included: 25 Boo Boo 6.5 Boo Boo 7mm Boo Boo 30 Boo Boo 300 Yogi 338 Yogi HV 7mm HV 30 HV 338 The base cartridges for these three families might have been the 8x68,338L,and 404 Jeffrey ,respectively. The 300 Boo Boo gave 180G @3120;the HV7mm 180@3600-all approx-the HV7 with a 36 inch barrel and 35 lb weight. The 30 Remington Ultra mag factory was 180@3300,for comparison.See the Allen ultra mags (et al) for other ballistic behemoths... be interesting to see what some of these might do with accurate 30 cal 220g @(min) 2650fps- if shootable.

Tiff Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 My 30-338 LapMag will comfortably shoot the 240gr SMK @ 2800 fps; more if pushed. I haven't used it with the 230 Bergers yet, but I'd imagine at @ around 3,000 fps with a 0.743 G1 B.C., it would be a hard combintion to beat! It currently shoots in the .2's at 100 yards and has shot many sub 5" 1000 yard groups off the bipod, often in less than ideal conditions. Recoil with a brake or mod really isn't that much in a 20lbs rifle - so at 3 or 4 times the weight would be a nothing at all. The muzzle blast however is noticeable to those around it......

shuggie Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ask the Grinch - or should I say 'sixshooter'.

You never did eat that bunnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 7mm or 30 Blaser may be a good starting point for a modern efficient cartridge,,,,,if you can get brass.. Shot a .30 recently Andy in a std weight unbraked sporter and it was "enough" in the power dep't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSOK Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have a 7mm PRS which is almost identical to the Boo Boo , mine uses the 6.5 x 68 case up to 7mm and improved . OSOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
