My dad's .284 Win built on a FN 1924/30 action.

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.

Nice! Congrats

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.

I think I have some. Message me if you still need some and I'll dig through my stash.

61.5 gr RL19. Barrel length is 25"

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Interesting. I've never heard of the 8x51mm that's listed in the calibers.

I picked up this NOS Sako AIII action a couple years ago at a local gun show. Got it for $450. Still kicking myself for not buying the other AIII and the two AIIs he had. Oh well. Anyway, I'm about to start planning things out for my new build on it. 95% sure I want a .35 Whelen. The...

The bolt does match, but I have not checked the barrel. The only thing I question on it is the rear sight. it is a folding sight and not a spring sight. All other Super Grades I've seen from this time the spring sight.

Serial # 103691. I think 1949.
