    As said, we probably can't get the powder or primers, pull a factory load, weigh powder charge, chronograph a factory load, if clocking 2150 fps with a 500gr bullet. I'd gladly dump 108grs H-4831 and adjust up or down to match factory velocities, get it all lit with FED-215's. When factory...

    Weatherby bolt rifles love them or hate them?

    Like 'em, as a young single man working my tail off they were the first and nicest rifles I had ever purchased, 378 and 460 Magnums cured a lot of ails and wonderment in the early days LOL. Then saw some poor kid carrying around a 20 inch barreled 460 Magnum at the Tulsa Gun Show, his right arm...

    Front trigger first, from day one on all my doubles, way to late in the game to be jacking with the system, V/C 577 had an articulating front trigger when I first got it, on firing that shoulder pounding beast and closing right hand grip even more to control torque staying in the gun and on the...
