how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

I'm certainly no expert but I think I've read somewhere that if naturally dried about 15% or a little higher is all they'll get to. Somewhere around the 10% Mark is the ideal spot.
Then again, does the 10% goal even matter that much? I doubt kilns were even thought of 100-200 years ago and look at the quality of furniture made back then.

You might get under 10 in southern AZ. I read this on an Iowa State University article:

1. Timber can be dried to any desired low-moisture content by conventional or solar kiln drying, but in air drying, moisture contents of less than 18% are difficult to attain for most locations.

Good point on furniture from 100-200 years ago.

I hope you are wrong but I'm ready for both. If they get out where I live they are definitely looking for trouble.

Is a 6.5 like a .243 on steroids?

I rechambered my sporterized Arisaka to 260 Remington. Just Win 243 necked up to 6.5mm.

Solved the performance and ammunition problem for good.[emoji108]

The grossly oversize military chamber being a major problem.

Make ammunition out of any 7.62 NATO based case.

What is a 6.5 Creedmore anyway?

Asking for a friend.

It's a popular bench rest round. With good and stable/predictable, down range performance, low recoil, etc.

.243 is a little hotter round.

That is crazy!!! Do you get any takers?

Yes and still plenty of wood. They have a 4 x 8 ft sign saying free wood. They even load farmers dump trailers and can't get rid of it fast enough. 22 guys out 5-6 days a week taking down trees adds up to a bunch of wood. This year I have made them 150 different chain loops. Thanks to covid I am almost out of my go to chain roll. Used to will call the order at the warehouse. Saves on shipping.

It's very similar to the .260. It's popular with PRS and long range competition shooters due to the high BC of the bullets. Although, the 6mm rounds have been gaining traction the past few years, since they can have an even higher BC.

I wish that pile was closer! I’d gladly take a couple loads off your hands!
If need more chain Doug I’ll work with you on shipping since they still ain’t letting no one come pick stuff up. I need a couple rolls myself

I’d take a 6BR for competition shooting

But hey.. the 6.5 is good too..

All that conceded.. I shoot a .270 Winchester..
and would stack it up against any challenger..
Old school calibers are fun.
