IIRC, the CZ 550 American came with a single set trigger from the factory. At least my CZ 550 American in 9.3x62 did when I purchased it new back in 2004. I had my gunsmith adjust and tune the trigger and do away with the set feature. Just my two cents... Cheers! Bob F.

I voted for .35 Whelen. I also have a Ruger M77 RSM in .375 H&H plus a Ruger M77 Mk II in .30-06. I also have a CZ 550 American in 9.3x62. Here's my .35 Whelen: Stainless Ruger M77 Hawkeye in .35 Whelen tuned by Lone Star Armory of Pearland, Texas. Pillar bedded in factory synthetic stock...

Attached is a brief (2 page) article about the 9x57 Mauser that I thought might be of interest. Unfortunately, the attached article isn't dated but my downloaded file is dated Jan 2010 (file properties). Cheers! Bob F. :) Excerpts: The 9mm Mauser By Charlie Haley "The ballistics of the...

Very, very nice, Rick! Congrats! Ah, yes... the .35 caliber cartridges. There's the good ol' .35 Whelen, the .358 Win, and the .350 Rem Mag to name a few. And then there are some that are a classic but they fade away and are largely forgotten. A good example is the 9x57 Mauser. I find it...

In case you're not aware of it, there are two sources of Woodleigh bullets in the USA. Raven Rocks Precision https://ravenrocksprecision.com/featured/safari/?orderby=popularity&wpf_filter_brand=woodleigh Reloading International...

Woodleigh lists a 310 gr RN but who knows if and when they will ever be in stock again. https://www.woodleighbullets.com.au/bullet-lists/traditional/338-375-list Cheers! Bob F.

Just a little nostalgia from back in the 2000s that I thought might be of interest. I had a Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight in .338-06 A-Square for a few years. I shot it at the range but I never hunted anything with it. I sold it and bought a stainless Ruger M77 Mk II in .338 Win Mag and...

There's that old saying... "I'm from Missouri; I'll believe it when I see it." Cheers! Bob F. :D

I've never sectioned one or used one but from my reading various sources (magazines, forums) the Speer 270 gr .366" has a reputation for being a "soft" bullet due its thin jacket. Just my two cents... Bob F.
