The .375 Weatherby isn’t much worse. The .378 Weatherby is A LOT worse!

Boss & Co. made a splendid O/U in .303 British. It’s easily the finest Boss specimen I’ve ever seen.

I’ll take them. Will send PM.

PM sent.

I have some of this on hand from when I had a .378 in the late 1980’s. When I get home this weekend I’ll dig it out and let you know what I’ve got.

Great rifle. The Argentine actions are wonderful, among the best. The bore will be 7.65mm rather than 7.62mm, but most shoot just fine (mine did). I loaded a relatively fast powder with 220 grain Partitions. I was looking for the base to upset to fill the bore and it worked.

$150 for all of the 378 stuff, $50 for the 300

Some vintage 378 Weatherby (and not so vintage 300 Weatherby) ammo for sale. $150 for the former, $50 for the latter.

AbeBooks has this out of print text selling for north of $400 (all the way up to over $900). Amazon has the same selling for north of $900. I'm willing to let this copy (in good condition) go for $350. If you're an M98 fanatic, this is a must have.

Hell of a deal on a wonderful DG scope! Had one on my 378 Weatherby!

Sending now (sorry, been tied up this morning).

By the way, if you want, I'll throw in the 500 grain Hornady bullets for an extra $20.

I realize you're not looking for a die set any longer but I do have some Woodleigh 900 grain solids listed if you're interested.

It does include shipping (assuming that you're in the lower 48 of the U.S.). Please send a PM and we can discuss the details. Thank you.

Nice buck!!!

Was just getting ready to list some stuff and was thinking of using Venmo due to convenience. Will list a preference for Zelle instead (once I figure out how to use the service myself). I have sold lots of stuff on this site before (a couple of rifles, ammo, components, reloading gear) and have...

Haven't been on the site for a long while and this is the first thing I come across, the passing of a man both humble and in possession of a wealth of knowledge and experience the likes of which few acquire. This is such a tragic loss, so tragic. At least he seems to have been enjoying life to...

Here in Minnesota many black bears have been shot with a good, old .30-30, the same gun taken to the woods in November for whitetail. Most bears shot are in the 200-250 pound range but sometimes you see 300+ pound bears taken with the same rifle. These are mostly shot over bait, within 30 yards...

The new Python is not the same as the original. They made some internal changes to ease production cost (including use of MIM parts). There have been known issues. I'd wait out a purchase if you're serious about acquiring one. Give Colt time to work out the kinks.

Haven't read through all the responses (so if this has been said my apology) but you'd be far better served with a Glock 20. Load it will 200 or 220 grain hard cast (yes, Glock does not recommend lead in their barrels but you'll be fine for the purpose as long as they stabilize...if not, put in...

Holy crap!!! :Wideyed:

The Nosler Partition is designed to lose around 40% of its weight in game. Most see this as a failure of sorts compared to much less loss in its nearest competitor, the Swift A-Frame.

The 220 grain Core-Lokt in a 30-06 is a match made in heaven. I used to buy the load by the case (and, as mentioned, for super cheap!). I shoot open sights, moderate range, and for me it was the ideal load (penetrates well, holds together, doesn't demolish lesser game). Now that I load my own I...

As others have mentioned, a detached retina would be the only real cause for concern. Anything else will heal readily on its own.

This is by far the best explanation of double rifle barrel regulation I have ever seen.

A double in anything other than a double (be it bolt action, lever action, falling block, or some other) makes absolutely no sense to me. That said, if the old British cartridges weren't so long they'd be marvelous in a lever action platform. As it is, though, even with a pivoting bottom plate...

My last three purchases were online (gunbroker.com and gunsinternational.com). Research the seller, of course, but I've always found them to be reliable and trustworthy. Some also offer a 3-day inspection.

It must be taken on a case by case basis. Some have wonderful wood, others marginal wood, no one period necessarily better in that regard. As for barrels, later rifles are said to have better barrels but in the case of a .458 it is academic as we're not looking for MOA accuracy. The main point...

Personally, if I was in the market for a No. 1 in .458 Lott I'd find an older one in .458 Win. Mag. and run a reamer down the chamber. The older ones (some of them anyway) seem to have been more well made and reaming the chamber to .458 Lott is about as easy as it gets.

I watched the video about a week ago. Very well done!

I've been using Lee for years. Bought it when young and dirt poor. Hasn't let me down yet.

Agreed, go with the Woodleigh 480 grain bullet (just know that the crimp groove is not in the proper place for maximum loads).

Contrary to popular opinion, smaller and lighter people take less of a beating from the big bores as they're better suited to roll with it (their mass offering less resistance...they may, however, get knocked off balance a bit!).

When I was young and poor (now I'm old and poor) I saw a Purdey at an estate sale. The widow was only asking $10,000. This was maybe 30 years ago, which would make it $20,000 today, but still one hell of a deal on one heck of a fine piece of English gunmaking. Other than absolute, astonishing...

Good points, all the way around.

It can but then you've got to be sure to keep the "throat" free of buildup and clean (and Freedom Arms, in my experience, cuts their chambers tight).

My Freedom Arms revolver was a .475 Linebaugh (sold to fund a .600 NE falling block build that remains in progress). They line bore each chamber, one of the reasons for phenomenal accuracy. It's one hell of a lot of revolver for the money. Should've never sold mine but I'll have another, some day.

Regarding a Glock, no, you won't get off 15 shots. But, you might get off 2 or 3, as opposed to one from a .454 (which if not properly placed won't amount to a hill of beans).

Agreed. Short of shelling out money for a Linebaugh or Bowen custom revolver, nothing else comes close.

If you're looking for something purely for backup get a Glock 20 and load it with hard cast bullets (better in this case than a Glock 40, in my opinion).

The question you really need to ask yourself, with regard to recoil, is what kind of recoil would you rather experience. Single-action revolvers roll more when fired, whereas double-action revolvers have a bit more of a straight back kick.

In other words, a revolver from Freedom Arms is definitely worth the money, if it's worth it to you (in other words, if such a high level of quality matters).
