    30-06 custom solids

    There's four boxes of these sitting on my shelf. Admittedly, current availability can be spotty. Of course, it's either handload or have them custom loaded. sources: https://ravenrocksprecision.com/product/woodleigh-30-cal-308-bullets-50-ct-box/...

    Osa Johnson's 9.3x62

    Unfortunately, I don't. The photos were taken by me around 2008-09 for my gunsmith friend's website. The website was done in just some very basic HTML coding by today's standards. My friend Todd Johnson did the restoration / preservation work on the rifle. (Small amount needed. As received, the...

    338 Win Mag for plains game

    Of course, in my opinion, the correct and proper answer to the .338 Win Mag versus .35 Whelen debate is to own one of each. :cool: Ruger M77 Mk II .338 Win Mag Ruger M77 Hawkeye .35 Whelen Cheers! Bob F. :D Beers:

    .333 O.K.H.

    I don't recall seeing/reading any actual chronographed velocity data for the old Winchester 300 gr load for the .338 Win Mag but, I think around 2450 fps MV is feasible. Of course, that doesn't mean that the old factory load achieved the advertised muzzle velocity. Recall that the .333 Jeffery...

    Handloading Automation

    It reminds me of something.... by Rube Goldberg "Goldberg is best known for his popular cartoons depicting complicated gadgets performing simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg Cheers! Bob F. :)

    375 H&H loads

    Brickman, I thought you might find this to be of interest. I have a reprint copy of the Kynoch / ICI catalog of 1936. The Kynoch catalog lists 285 gr ammo for the 9.3x62 at 2250 fps. I bet that old Kynoch load took a lot of game in Africa back in the day. So, I'd say your .375 H&H load with a...

    Your opinion why the 7x57 Mauser flourished and the .275 H&H faded

    I thought this might be of interest: .275 Belted Magnum (H&H) | .275 Flanged Magnum (H&H) Introduced in England in 1911, the belted version for bolt actions and the flanged for single-shot and double-barrel rifles, the .275 H&H Belted and Flanged Magnums were the first 7mm Magnums. These...

    5.7x28 anyone use one?

    See post #21 above. The OP purchased a Keystone Cricket rifle in .22 Magnum. https://keystonesportingarmsllc.com/ Remember, the rifle is for use around the slaughter house. The range needed won't be anywhere near 100 meters or yards. Cheers! Bob F. :)
