    Ring around the top of the bullet

    I have done the same thing with hot glue from my wife's hot glue gun. Works very well.

    New Model 70 safari express disappointing quality?

    I have a New Haven super express in 416 and when the bolt on mine is pulled to the rear the ejector appears to protrude beyond the bolt face at least Double what yours does. No problems with feeding, extraction and ejection with it.

    1903 springfield

    Look up info on the 375 scovil. Much like the 375 Whelan. Barnses bullets lists reloading data for it and it should be an easy rechambering to do. A very potent cartridge too.

    Annealing 375 H&H Brass

    I think that there is little to be gained in annealing the 375 H&H case. Because of the case design the the area just forward it the case head will stretch and begin to separate before you have case neck or shoulder splitting problms..It certainly won't hurt but I doubt that it will extend case...

    Allure of the Ruger No1

    I think perhaps closer to 25 years ago in Rifle. It was after I read that article that I decided to try it on my rifle. It took about 2 or 3 turns on that set screw to take from 2 1/2 inch groups to very consistent 1 inch groups. I think the hicks accurizer is an easier fix though.

    Allure of the Ruger No1

    Almost all accuracy issues with #1s can be simply cured with adjustments to barrel forend pressure. The hicks accurizer is easy to install yourself and solves the problem.

    Ruger African 270 Win. Range Report

I have one of those, it has a 23 inch barrel rather than the 24 on the Lipseys guns and also the bolt including the...

    Ruger African 270 Win. Range Report

    For those who keep track of all things Ruger several years ago they did offer the '06 in the African line and it would be nice to see it again. I think it was only available for not much more than a year or so.

    Alliant RL22?

    I have found IMR4831 to perform pretty much the same as R22.

    First Gun Purchase for new Hunter

    I'm A traditional guy so if it were me I would look for either a M70 featherweight or a Ruger Hawkeye chambered for 270win. Other great caliber choices would 308 or that Swiss army knife of cartridges the good old 30'06. With that about 95% of
