Who did you use for the blended thread protector? I want to get my 270 win A-bolt and 338 win mag model 70 threaded, but I don’t want to complete ruin the lines, so I’m very interested in the blended look.

I think Santa hats are not disrespectful but I’ve also seen it become a slippery slope to other decor and even to the point of lipstick and mascara which I think is going too far. As a result my mounts never get decorated by anything. And it leads to a calm rational (I’m serious) discussion...

I consider myself to be an adequate marksman with a scoped rifle. When I first touched off my 338 it was the most violent (excellent word choice for it BTW) recoil I had experienced at that point. My groups were rough and ugly to say the least. I put it in a lead sled for load development and...

No feeding problem, I’m just under the standard OAL.

My go to is 250 gn accubond over 68 gn IMR4831 and it will outshoot me.

Those of you who have hunted both, what is the body size difference between these tuskless cows and a mature bull? I’m curious about are they close or is there a clear difference

The flash is certainly curious. I wonder what would cause that.

338 win mag and 416 Rigby are the specific cases I’m focused on, so the win mag has a belt obviously.

It’s time for me to feed my addiction a bit. And given the scarcity of some of the larger than 30 caliber brass these days I’ve decided to look at annealing cases. Some of my 338s and 416s are on their 5th loadings. Does annealing actually help prevent split necks, and what do y’all use to do it...

I had a similar experience some years ago with a 338 win mag rifle. Not with Nosler ammo, I’ll leave the name out of it since I determined the ammo wasn’t at fault. It would fire flawlessly on some ammo and have all sorts of weak primer strikes on others. I took your same approach and said it...

My wife would shoot me with it or I’d be all over that

I would have to think the policy is heavily dependent on the PH, as well as the general alcohol consumption in camp. If you’re sober I see it as a safety measure to have the rifle. If you’re not… it might just make the situation worse.

That is my general rule, and I would recommend it for everyone, though as I stated above certain guns never get reloads due to feed ramp/barrel cut out design.

I will say I generally carry a Px4 45 acp IWB for 5 years, took a 2 year break, then for another 3 years. The rotating barrel has kept it from popularity in the American market I’m afraid, as people think they are unreliable, as a populous we prefer the browning tilting barrel design. After...
