Uplander, is your rifle on a Mauser 98 action? If it is, while it is at MNR, you could ask to see if they have a bolt that would headspace to your existing rifle and then open the face and the extractor and then weld a new handle on to match the one you have . This would basically give you the...

Last year I got a deal on a new profiled barrel blank in .435 cal. I threaded it for LR Mauser 98. I rented the reamer/ H.S. gauges from 4D and set the headspace for two bolts, one standard for the stock 425 WR and one I opened up for basically the 404J, in my case, I use 338 RUM as I got 100...

The RSM action is a true magnum length action capable of handling all of the big cartridges like the 416/450 Rigby, 458 lott and even bigger, not even remotely close to the action used on the African.

After reading the poll on limited issue runs of Ruger rifles, I got to thinking about the discontinued RSM. I remember reading a magazine article many years ago, when they hit the market, that they lost money on every one that they made because of the wood, integral quarter rib and sights. The...

6.5x53R A&N Steyr/Mannlicher bolt .318 Express Vickers LTD bolt 450/400 3" R.B. Rodda Double This is what I took, less the 6.5, on my first safari. I wish I had taken the 6.5 but decided two guncases could be a hassle.

I know Bertram produces .425 Westley Richards brass, but did not see it on the list. I would love some if you can get them!

Hammer Bullets in Montana makes a 235 gr. mono in .330 for the .318 W.R. and a 400 gr. mono in .435 for the .425 WR. They have a great reputation. Lee

Guys, this sounds more complicated than it actually is! 30/06 brass is easily length trimmed just a bit, then run through a .318 full length sizing die, annealed, and, Voila!, you have .318 WR brass. Fifteen years ago, I got lucky enough to buy 150 pieces of Quality Cartridge, properly...

If you get up some orders from Bertram, I could sure use .425 W.R. and 350 Rigby rimless mag Brass. They also make 435 bullets for the 425W.R., I'd buy some! Lee

Especially 425 W.R. !

250 gr. 318 W.R. and 215 gr. 303's

I have used Timneys for years but now I prefer Jard. Try one, you will love it.

The University of Glasgow has the records for A&N CSL. For around $60 they will send you a digital photo of the workbook page

I just figured out the font issue! Duh

I'm kinda surprised that the Barnes fans are not recommending the 300 gr. TSX for N.A and African Plains Game. It seems like it would be perfect for the job, allowing higher velocity that the Barnes like, with a bit less recoil. It would seem like that is the reason Barnes makes them... No?

Last year, a friend of mine was going on a PG hunt in S.A. and was thinking of buying a 338 win mag. I told him he should take his 270 Ruger #1 that he has successfully hunted with for the last thirty years. We worked up a load with 150 gr. Accubonds that consistently shot 3/4" groups. He was...

I used my custom .280 on plains game utilizing 175 gr. Swift A-Frames at 2600 fps. One shot kills on everything with great bullet performance. Frontal chest shot on the Zebra dropped him literally in his tracks at 60 yds, DRT. I then shot a 59" Kudu at 286 lasered yards and the A frame broke...

I don't know, but when the OP said drop box mag, I got the impression that he meant the extended bottom metal, not a detachable magazine.

I have had very good results with the .375 A-Frame on Giraffe, Zebra and Buff. While the two are similar in construction, the main difference is that the A-Frame front core is bonded and the partition is not. Noslers tend to shed the front down to the partition on tough game, while the A-Frames...

I will take the green Birmingham case. Please PM your PP info. Thanks.

If that rifle has been fired much and has not had lug set-back yet, it is unlikely that it will develop it now. When people mention Spanish mausers they seem to automatically discount them as being soft like the older, weaker Mauser 93. I would enjoy the rifle as it is and not worry about it...

Especially the Quarter Rib! One other area that I see a deficiency in , Island bases for common 2-3 leaf express sights. Drift adjustment, no oversized clamp screw(Ugly)like the NECG base has.
