As per another thread i started on 7x57 info, everything has come together and it's time to do some reloading, That's where the questions start. Hornady lists the 162 Amax at 2500fps, but i find lot's of other data that bests that by 200fps. I want to get the most from the Amax as i have a ton...

Just got myself a sweet little Brno carbine in 7x57. I want to use it for this fall's black bear hunt. Looking for recommendations for bullet selection. I do handload. Shots are typically 50yds or less. Rarely over 100. What will dump the most energy inside those ranges? Thots appreciated.

If anyone has some 375HH brass they want rid of, I have a bag (50pc) of Hornady 416Rem i will swap.

Looking for some 458WM brass. Have 50pc of new Hornady 416Rem and 40pc of Hornady 416Rigby to swap.

I want to start practising off-hand shooting (375HH). no sticks or supports. I know some slings are geared more for carry than shooting and am looking for a sling that is designed primarily for shooting. Anyone have any recommendations. Thanks

Received a box of these a few years ago on a trade. I finally obtained a 416 Remington (M=70) and want to use these up, but can't find any reloading data. Anyone know a decent load for these bullets, or where i can find data? As always thanks for any help.

Came across a rifle i'm interested in. It is a F. Dumoulin in 458wm. I 've looking for info on it and all i can find is H. Dumoulin info. Are these two related and can anyone point toward the F. Dumoulin info. Thamks

Components here in Canada are hard to come by, and pricey. Checked this morning to see if Cabela's had any powder in stock. Very little and priced around $80 a lb, CDN. What caught my attention was a notation stating a shipping fee of $250 CDN. That's just wrong. Period.

I recently acquired a 602 chambered (rechambered?0 in 416 Rigby. The rifle arrived with the stock and barreled action separated, for shipping ease i assume. I quickly discovered the forend screw and nut were missing. I addressed this in another thread, but have sourced the needed parts. My...

Just received my latest on-line purchase. Brno 602 chambered in 416 Rigby. Overall , i'm very pleased with it's condition. To cold to go to the range today, but it feeds and extracts well. Even came with an old Zeiss FX scope. The glass itself is clear as a bell, but until i shoot it, who knows...

Can anyone point me toward info on Barnes 416 bullets. I have 2 boxes of 400gr "X" cannelured bulets that i want to try in my 416 chambered Brno, but can't seem to find any data for these particular bullets. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks

Came across an unknown make this AM. It is a Brachmann Moers M98 in 7x64B. Looks in good shape and the price is low enough to spark my interest. Did an online search for info, but no joy. Can anyone educate me on the good/bad of these rifles? Thanks

I bought 80pcs of 458WM reloads that were advertised as 480gr. When i received them, they didn't look quite right. I managed to pull one of the bullets and it turns out they are 405gr. The seller argued the point, but after some pointed emails, allowed that he may have been mistaken. I am leery...

A few months back i purchased a used Rem 750 chambered in 35 Whelen. Got 11 full boxes of various ammo with it. Did a quick cleaning on it and finally got it to the range last week. Functioned fine, but grouped like a shotgun with all the ammo i tried. Brought the gun home and the barrel, on...

Looking for a M70 Alaskan in 30-06 or 300WM. Because of import laws i am restricted to Canada only. Looked at a couple new one's and the price has increased $4-500 in the last few months, so i thot that there may be a Canadian member with a line on a used one in good condition. Any input is...

Hello all. Any one know where i can source a complete rear sight assembly for a Brno 602, preferably in Canada (or not) Any help appreciated. Thanks

Need the opinion of members who own/shoot the #1 chambered in 458WM. Not a stranger to 458s, just #1s and wonder if there are any problems to the #1s. Not overly concerned about recoil, just any other possible issues. Thanks

Got a chance to get a #1 International in 7x57. Looks immaculate and wears a Swaro scope. Anyone familar with this particular model, and is accuracy generally decent? Never owned a single shot or a Ruger either, so best to ask. Thanks

Recently bought a Brno ZKK 602 in 375HH, and the rifle itself is in exceptional condition. The bolt however, looks like it was abused. See pics. It binds up tightly when operated at less than warp speed. At first i thot maybe it was not the original bolt, but the numbers match. My question is...

Still being new to reloading, i could use a little guidance. Found some Hornady 480g DGX at half price and want to use them for practice with my Lott, but can't find any reloading data for that particular combo. Got 7 manuals and only 2 have any Lott info, and neither address's the 480g Hornady...

Happy Family Day to all, (if you're Canadian) Need some advice regarding rings for a Brno 602, 375HH. I am mounting a Leupold 2.5-8x36 scope and want as low as possible. My choices are Leupold, Warne and Burris, all medium rings. Because of Covid, i have to order on-line and wonder if anyone...

Going thru the bag of goodies i received, along with the recent purchase of a 7x64 CZ, were 4x1 jugs of AA3100 powder. Seems it was discontinued quite a while ago. Anyone know what it would be a good replacement for? Just getting started in the reloading hobby and unsure how to proceed.

Hi all. Need some thots from the CZ experts on here. Just came into possession of a very nice CZ537 in 7x64. Looks almost brand new. I have found little online info and what little i found does not seem to match the particular rifle. This one has a 23.5" barrel and a single set trigger, neither...

Hi all. My x-mas gift finally arrived and it's a beaut. M70 SuperGrade 338wm. I want to start loading for it immediately but need some input. I have new Remington brass and Fusion 200g bullets. I also have manuals by Lyman, Barnes, Nosler and Hornady, but none list data for the above combo, In...

First off, hope everyone had a good x-mas and has an even better new year. Shouldn't be to difficult if this bloody virus ever ends. My one, and only x-mas gift is a new M-70 super grade in 338wm. Should be here by new years. (I'm hoping) My question regards suitable rings/bases. The scope will...

As title say's, i'm looking for info on the 85 brown bear model in 338wm. A retailer is offering a new one rite now at a price that is almost criminal, at least in Canada. My main concern is the 85s reputation for kicking ejected case back into the chamber. I know some guy's merely rotate the...

Recently met a fellow gun "nut" and we got discussing some of our favorite chamberings and he laid this on me. A 7x66 Von Hofe SE. I had vague recollections of hearing about it long ago but nothing recently. Turns out that he has limited info on it as well. He's looking for any reloading data as...

Just took possession of an older Sako. A FN98 HI-Power in 30-06. The price was such that i could not resist. Thing is, at some point the LOP has been shortened to 12.5" rendering it almost unusable for me. Today i took off the butt plate and made a 3/4" hardwood spacer, but the interesting part...

Came across a very nice Accumark in 270 that i'm considering buying. I'm not a huge weatherby fan, but even as a kid i can remember drooling over the MK Vs shown in the annual Gun Digest. Something about the 270 always intrigued me. Anyone on the forum have one? I'd be interested in any info...

Just wanted to post a follow up to my earlier one regarding my CZ 458wm. Got it back from the shop on Saturday and took it to the range to-day. Extreme happiness and joy. All is right with the world. Reaming it out to a Lott made all the difference in the world. Feeds and extracts as it should...

Hi y'all. Hope i'm posting in the right section. Got a brand new 550 chambered in 458wm that i took to the range for the first time Monday. Immediate woe's. As can be seen in the pics, it does not like 450g bullets. Jams every time. I know a lot of you guy's have extensive experience with CZs...

Got a question for you guy's that know a little more than me about the higher end rifles. I have an itch for a 450 Rigby. Actually thinking about having one built, but i came across a listing for a Dakota African Pro Hunter in 450 cal. It is graded as "excellent" and lists for around $3500US...

Hello to all. Looking for any info i can find on synthetic stocks for a CZ-550. It's a 1998 model in 416 Rigby. I bought it used, sight unseen and wood stock is virtually useless. It has been shortened to 13" LOP and is the lux model. It is to short and way to low. Working the bolt puts it...

Hello all. Been collecting and trying various rifles for a while now. A few I really like and have kept, mostly CZs and a few Remingtons. I always was on the lookout for a Brno ZG-47, hopefully in 7x64 and a couple weeks ago I found one, but in 7x57. It was in such nice condition that I bought...

Looking at a new Voere 2165 in 7x64 and wonder if any members have any info on them. Not many new rifles chambered in 7x64 and that is what got me interested in a Voere. This is a new rifle using a santa Barbara action. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Just received some Hornady/Barnes brass and bullets I bought from a private source and included in the box was the loaded ammo shown below. Wondering if anyone has used this ammo and their opinion of it. Looks like it might be fairly old.

I am just starting to get set up for reloading, and have run into a blank wall already. Hoping a fellow Canadian member can help. Can't seem to find 458wm brass anywhere I have looked in Canada. Everyone is "out of stock" with no idea when they will have some again. Any Canadian members know...

Hi. Bought a CZ a while back in 416Rigby. Love the rifle, but the previous owner had the LOP shortened to just a tad over 13", and I find it a little short for comfort. It also seems a little high for me as I want to keep it with open sights. My question is; does anyone know a source in Canada (...

I am still new to the forum and need some experienced advice. I came across a very nice looking Krieghoff double in 450/400 3" NE for sale. It is on the other side of the country so I can not actually see it in person, only pics. I am comfortable buying bolt guns as I know the right questions to...

Hope this is posted in proper forum. When adding weight to a rifle stock, should the weight be evenly divided between butt and fore stock? Where is the optimum balance point on a rifle? I'm asking these questions because I want to add about 24oz total to a 458 win mag that I am currently playing...

Hello. New member here, so hope i'm posting in the right spot. Recently bought (used) a Sako M995 chambered in 416 Remington. Overall i'm pretty pleased with it, except for a couple things. It may be the stock, which is synthetic, but recoil is sharp. I can live with that easy enough. What I...

Hello all. New member here and fist post. Been hunting off and on for almost 60years and finally getting serious about it. Never been to Africa, but the urge is getting stronger every day. Maybe in 2021 for my 70th. Every time I searched the net for info on one of the big bores. this forum...
