    My 35 Whelen

    Exactly why I chose 1:14. I’m going to load 199 or 215 gr Hammer HHT.

    My 35 Whelen

    My stock guy is stopping working on stocks. He said mine was one of his last. I got the Sako action NIB at a gun show a couple years ago.

    Car ownership experiences

    My 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 regular cab long bed truck is by far the best vehicle I’ve owned. 245,000 miles on it and it’s still runs great. I caught a lot of BS when I bought it, but all those guys aren’t driving the trucks they bought around the same time.

    Bullets for the .257 Wby mag

    I loaded some Barnes 100 grain for my friend's rifle. Thing is a lazer and everything just drops. I'm trying to get him to let me load him some 90 grain Hammer Hunters, but he's being hardheaded.

    What Have You Killed with Your .308 Winchester?

    I've got my dad's Rem. 722 in .308 (was originally a 300 Savage). He and I have shot loads of whitetail and some pigs. He also shot a blackbuck with it.

    .25 Caliber Rifle Cartridges and the Future of Them

    A friend of mine recently built a .25-284 specifically for Hammer Hunter bullets. He's been working up loads for months and has settled on one that is pushing the 90 gr. Absolute Hammer at 3800 fps. That thing is a laser and hardly any recoil. It's a handy rifle build on a FN 1924-30 action.

    25-06 brass

    I just bought some PPU .25-06 brass locally. They had at least one other bag of 50. You could probably call them and ask if they could ship. 10Ring in Houston.

    Do you or have you participated in Competitive Shooting?

    M-1 Garand matches and a Hunting Rifle match through another forum. Basically it was hunting scenarios: pig target at 200 yards (prone hit was 1 point, kneeling/sitting hit 2 points, standing hit 3 points), prairie dog targets at 100, 200, 300, 400 yards, 1" target at 100 yards, etc, all with a...

    Your favorite hunting rifle of all time

    Yes. I just got that stock from Ruger. They said they didn't have any laminate stocks available, but that they could make it. I asked for a black (meaning the typical gray/black laminate) and they sent me that one 10 days later. Not what I was expecting, but I really like it.

    Your favorite hunting rifle of all time

    My Ruger M77 Mk.II in 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser. This was my first rifle. Got it for Christmas when I was 11. I've only switched the stock and replaced the trigger with a Timney.
