correct me if I am wrong
the Leupold may fit with the low ring but the base is higher so it come to the same hight if you would of take the talley with medium ring
I have a Swarovski Z6 1-6x24 EE to put on my comming Winchester Model 70 safari express in 458
I have read that the large eye boxe of this scope may require a higher set of rings than the low ones
anyone has experience on this
thank
Canuck
would like a slow burning powder load data for my 450 Rigby with 350 gr. Barne x bullet
tried it with Reloader 7 at 70 gr. and gave me 2230 fps but I am near bas
I have Reloader 22 would that do. looking for 2500 fps
all data would be appreciated thank you
Prophet River told me he is able to get some 450 Rigby from the state and ship them to me
the price was 169 for 25
what I am afraid of is that necking up you get a shorter neck was that you experience
I had this when I did 30-06 to 35 Whelen
hope so
where we hunt at a outfitter where are 6 hunter
and if I am the lucky one I will post photo
its way up north in Quebec and in the pas 22 years we came back only 2 time without a moose
the biggest was a 57 inches
here is a photo of a 31 inches and some of the group I am taking the phote...
the rifle is sighted in at 170 yards
it shoot 4 inches high at 100 and 4 inches low at 200
at 250 yards I am 14 inches low
after that its up to 30 inches low
so up to 200 on a moose I shoot dead on
after that the moose does not know you are there most of the time so I use my range finder and...
the Aimpoint dot sight has no parallax
no Mather where is the dot in the sight when you shoot it hits where the dot is
tried it and it works. high low to the right or left in the tube the point of impact stay the same....
I thinks its the only dot sight that offer this, not certain on that....
total rifle weight with the Aimpoint is 10.4
the recoil pad is the original and it seems to be glued on the stock as there is no holes for screws
yes it is medium hard
pro .... the recoil pad does not deform when resting the rifle on the but for a long time
cons..... yes it harder for recoil
but...
all done
but it took the vice grip and 2 of them no go
lucky I did not shoot the round may be the way they where welded togeter I would of have dangerous pressure
next time I load I will put some mica inside the neck
I loaded 180gr. A frame in my 30-06 last year and decide to lower the charge
put my round on my ultra mag Redding press with the RCBS bullet puller and to no avail
can not get them to operate from the case
the brass where cleaned with a ultra sonic cleaner and crimped with a Lee factory...
I had a Sako kodiak in 375 and now have a sako brown bear in 450 Rigby
on it is a swarovsky Z6 1x6 ee with low optilock rings and never had ejection problem
How can Quickload say that 99 gr. of H4350 is a slightly compressed load ..... I have some H4350 and tried it in my 450 Rigby and at 99 gr. its about a 1/4 inche below the shoulder and at 110 is about 1/8 below the shoulder
am I missing something here
115 gr is at the bottom of the neck
I have found the load with norma mrp powder that duplicate their factory ammo with a 550 gr. bullet
95 gr = 1950 fps and 105 gr = 2100 fps
its slower burning than IMR 4831 and I think the 105 gr loading should be 100% load density.....
as for the 7977 powder I would love to try it but...
this is what I wanted to do use the enduron 7977 but did not find any load data on it .... so E-mail IMR and a few days later a gentleman call me back and told to use very slow powder such has the 7977 in a almost straight case like the 450 rigby is risky for the reason that there is a chance...
has the title says and the answer was
using Accurate 4350
with a 550 gr. bullet
starting load 82 gr. for 1900
max load 91 gr. for 2100
this out of a 24 inch barrel
to me it seems a bit low charge for this powder
what do you think
at the same time what powder would give me 2100 fps with...
at first I wanted to buy a Sako carbon light in 9.3x62
but the recoil on this rifle at 6 pounds and with a 286 gr bullet is almost the same has the 450 rigby
so bought the rigby
I find the rifle quite heavy
will see when hunting moose with it if its to heavy I will get that carbon light at...
yes just bought it in late november... did not shoot it yet
waiting for spring....
will be shooting cast bullet in it
I hunt moose before I had many 458 winchester and with a 545 gr. cast with 64 gr of imr 3031 got 2015 fps
moose drop on the spot
the scope is interesting.... its a Swarovski Z6...
I have a Swarovski Z6 1x6 EE
EE stand for extended eye relief ( 6 inches )
discontinued, I would not sell it for twice the price I paid for it
its got a circle with a dot .... illuminated if I want
great on a rifle like mine 450 rigby Sako Brown bear
I hunt moose
I have been shooting a 458 winchester since the early 70s and alway used cast bullets to hunt
