    I would recommend looking at used equipment to save money. I have found several nice presses for quite reasonable prices. My C&H H press was inherited and I have no idea how many second hand dies I have obtained. I like RCBS - if you break or lose anything they replace it for free - just call...

    I find you thinking it's OK to attack our capital and you finding excuses why you think it's OK. The election was never stolen and no court cases ever proved it was stolen.

    Newly Acquired Jeffery .333 Nitro Express

    The heaviest load I shoot which is the 250g bullet is the lightest the 333 Jefferey shoots. According to the nosler reloading manual the best a 338-06 can do with a 250g bullet is about 2400FPS - the 333 beats it by 100fps, Impressive considering the age of the round.

    What caliber would you bring back from the dead?

    I don't normally shoot past three hundred yards. I find magnum provide the added horsepower when needed. Not all magnums are for long range. IMHO

    What caliber would you bring back from the dead?

    Makes a lot of sense. When all you have is a hammer everything else is a nail. If a 180 gr pill in a 30-06 isn't enough I will use a bigger or faster 30 cal magnum. The biggest thing have here in Oregon are elk. My 338-06 pushing 225g noslers or mu 300H&H pushing 180g noslers do just fine.

    What caliber would you bring back from the dead?

    What I don't get is the need to go outside normal bullet weights with a cartridge. The 30-06 is best in my opinion with. 150 to 180g bullets. They make bullets above and below this range. Instead of making a cartridge something it isn't use a larger or smaller cartridge. I have always believed...

    What caliber would you bring back from the dead?

    Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the 280 Ross the samething as a 280NE? My understanding is that the 7mm Remington will out perform that cartridge. Given the 280 NE was ahead of its time.

    Bring back .411 bullets tougher than what is used for the 405 winchester. I am using the barnes lrx bullet but they are not rated for the velocity I am shooting them. So maybe the 404 B&J express which will never happen.

    Vintage scope mounting - Remington 30 Express

    I had a mint model 30 express chambered in 30-06 with the crescent button plate. That butt plate sure made that recoil sharp and I sold it to a collector. I thought it better to sell that rifle instead of messing the rifle up. Built a fn mauser in 264WM with the proceeds.

    What cartridge is it chambered for?

    1903 springfield

    You have pros and cons to both. Two big advantages of the enfield action it is large enough for the round and the enfield action is stringer. Many cartridges that the enfield action has been chambered in I would not attempt in the springfield I have them both and hold both in high regard.

    1903 springfield

    I think a 1917 or a 1914 would be better than the 1903 for a 375H&H length cartridge and they aren't that exspensive. I do realize we are talking about a 1903.
