    Best hunting knives to be passed down? ...

    In the 70s&80s I liked Randall's; 90s & 00 it was Ruana's; then 10s & 20s it is Von Gruff. And Particularly Von Gruff for "working" knives- a 14" French Chef and a 12" scimitar along with a 7' boning knife with a handle made of Latvian hardwood. and all reasonably priced.

    Canada previously was a nice place- Too bad the Communists took it over.

    >375 H&H with 350gr SMK and IMR 4350

    I have used the 350 SMK but in the 375 RUM. So not much help for the H&H.

    Taking firearm to Canada

    Purchases On AH References

    If you purchase anything from @Jager Waffen74 you can count on the item be AT LEAST as good as claimed and very likely will be BETTER THAN EXPECTED. His things are REALLY THAT GOOD!! And he is straight forward to deal with.

    Bullet pulling .375 H&H and .300 Weat Mag...

    I've used an RCBS kinetic bullet puller for years on cartridges up to and including 300 & 375 mags. Some required several "taps". The difficulties were generally strong crimps impeding the bullets slide out and with lighter bullets there was insufficient inertia. To prevent damage to bullet...

I suspect that the reason is that there is very little difference between the two...

    Another 404 build on a New Haven model 70

    I had a M70 Super Grade 338 Win Mag rebarrelled to 375RUM and per the gunsmith (CP Donnelly (RIP)) the only change needed was to get the RUM follower. It worked great.

    What did you reload today?

    An old gunsmith friend of mine warned me about the 250 Ackley. He said the case above the groove tapered so that blowing out to Ackley specs would cause gap between the web and chamber. His solution was to use 300 Sav brass. Have you noticed any problem as noted?
