It’s Saturday here again This is my Winchester thumb trigger 22lr, sometimes referred to as a model 99, which is weird as they were mostly made around 1905 as gallery rifles. Been it my family since early 1900’s. When I found it in my great aunts place after she died, it was rusty and had had...

Looks like you both had a great time, be good to see your trophy mounts when you get them back home. That country up there is beautiful but also deadly. Gumpy

:giggle:Waiting for Bob Nelson 35 Whelan to chime in. Gumpy P.S. I agree with the others, it will be more than adequate

I have two 303’s both have different chamber specs, I use a dremel to mark the bottom of the "sloppy " chambers brass. Never wear off, easy to see. Gumpy

I have a 25-35 on a martini cadet, usually using 87gn Sierra soft points. Gumpy

So many choices, if you go the hornet path and are happy to form brass as well as just reload, there is the K hornet( best option ), a 25 hornet and a 270 hornet, all easy to do. Or the 25-35, 25-35 AI, 7-30 waters. 22Hi-Power is a great cartridge, easily formed, but sourcing bullets can be...

Why do I suspect that there is another deadly sin, like coverting thy neighbours wife, but coverting thy fellow forum members knife….or in this case knives Gumpy

Works very well, lots of people make .224 projectiles from 22lr brass, that are very effective hunting rounds, a friend was making 35 cal, 416, 404 and 458 projectiles from spent pistol brass, they were exceptional hunting projectiles Gumpy

I just got back from carting mine around the hills chasing sambar, saw several, but all too far away. Somehow I didn’t feel like a 1500 mtr shot with weird gully winds or a 3-4 km walk up and down steep hills to try and get in the right spot for a shot with no guarantee that they would still be...

That came up nicely Gumpy

It’s Saturday here, so, my wife’s Greener cadet with a nice crisp cartouche And as I won’t be near internet next Saturday, my BSA cadet Both are still in 310, but the Greener has had the rim thickness modified so it needs trimmed 32-20 brass. We shot these at the club with cast, so I’ve...

I missed Saturday pics, will try for next Saturday Gumpy

If people can’t find factory ammo or brass, and you have access to a lathe, you can make serviceable brass from 300 win mag, turn off the belt, enlarge the extractor groove and pass through a FLS die, trim and fire form, I was doing it for brass that I didn’t care if I lost it Gumpy

I’ve got a box of the H-mantel here, I thought it was from the early 2000’s Gumpy

I like that bottom one Gumpy
