    Model 70 Range Day

    Very nice bunch of rifles! I do wonder why a 300 win and 30-06, especially when your loading 200 A-Frames in the 30-06.

    Leupold CDS Feedback

    Unless you’re using them on a rifle to shoot past 300-400 yards it’s a waste of time. Especially shooting at big game where you have at least a 8”x8” target to hit. It wasn’t that long along that Weatherby lead the industry with a guaranteed 1 1/2” group at 100 yards. And folks were shooting...

    Question for the reloading experts...

    Case head expansion is the way l measure pressure also. That and l do it on a hot summer day. Gives me a good safe reliable load under most conditions

    Question for the reloading experts...

    If you still have some loads , pull the bullet and weigh the powder Lyman lists 74 gr max, 225 bullet Hornady lists 72.8 max l have owned 4 different 338’s. My loads were all between 66 and 69 grains. Different for each rifle. All with 225 grain bullets. Either a 225 Hornady or a Barnes

    Rate the C-H Tool & Die set (404J)

    C&H was from my home town. Owen Wisconsin. That shop is closed. They produced all calibers The one in OH may have bought them out, not sure about that.

    Eld-x bullets

    Keep the velocity at the muzzle below 2950-3000 fps, and they are fine.

    .264 WinMag load questions

    Had a 264 back in the 80’s. Can’t find the load data. But the only powder l used then was either IMR 4350 or 4831. Bullets 125 partitions. Took it elk hunting once so loaded 140 partitions. Both worked well. Really liked the cartridge.

    Colorado Lion hunting ballot initiative

    If you want to go Lion hunting in Colorado, one might get to it. This will more than likely pass. Just like the Wolf vote. There is a plus side to the Wolf reintroduction. The wolves are already here, and not total being managed. When they reintroduce them, Parks and Wildlife will have to manage...

    300 PRC for long range hunting cartridge?

    Nothing against the 300 PRC. But on big game to 600 yards it doesn’t do anything a 300 Weatherby hasn’t done for a long time now. For elk and moose to 600 yards l would go with the .340 Weatherby. Awesome cartridge

    Trigger suggestions for Whitworth Interarms .375 H&H

    Looks A Lot like the one l had. It had double set trigger. Great if you use the set trigger. Terrible without it. Never could get it adjusted any better. Shot great though, very accurate

    Bullets for the .257 Wby mag

    I have used several in mine. 117 Sierra, 117 Hornady, 115 Berger. I settled on the 100 TTSX and 120 Northfork for big game. Got sub-moa accuracy with all. The Berger was used for target shooting out too 1000 yards

    Taxidermy trainwreck ... twice

    I make these plaques. Keep the mounting board small, just a bit larger than the mount, and set it off the wall a bit. Adjustable to the desired angle

    Man Bun gun for target shooting

    I won’t be getting one. My 6.5-284 just does it better. I did however get a 6mm creedmore in a Ruger precision rifle. Really like it, doesn’t come with the bun either

    Accuracy issues with new factory ammo?

    I think in these times of shortages they have the same bullet, but may be forced to use a different powder, or primer. Just to get ammo on the shelf at all.
