Can anyone help with some loads for this? I've looked on the internet and my Swift manual and have nothing on the 338-06 for this bullet.
Any loads or data for any powders will be appreciated very much!
I've always loved wood stocks with stainless barrel and action. I'd been thinking of putting on a wood stock on my .280 and I finally gave in and called Ruger. I knew that I could not pick my stock but I did ask the lady if she would put a note on my order that I wanted a darker colored stock...
Here is my new 5.5" .44 Mag SBH. Built in July 2011 and I love it!! Got to order me a western holster for it now. :grin:
Here is my Springfield 3.5" XDm in 9mm. I've added a fiber optic front and rear sight and the rear is adjustable. I also used the enhancement technique to hightlight the...
I bought a couple of bags of the 120gr BT seconds a while back and I was thinking about toying around with them. Looks like I'll get to go hunt antelope after all this fall so I've been trying to decide if I want to use the 120 BT or the 140 AB. I've seen pics of the BT on antelope and I was...
I've waited for over 2 years now for Nosler to have caps for sale and they're still not available in the Pro Shop or on the regular Nosler website. Needless to say it has been very frustrating trying to find and buy a Nosler hat.
I am hoping someone has an extra black Nosler Up Front cap they...
Finally got my two game cameras set out a couple of weeks ago and checked them today. It took this guy a week to find the chum but he was sure loving the food the last week. Nice 8 pt (4x4) for the westerners still in velvet. Here are a couple of pics of him.
I had a button buck, a spike, does...
If you had one opportunity where you had $20K for airfare, outfitter cost, tags, etc., to spend on a lifetime hunt for one of these big 3 which would you be inclined to choose?
I was browsing Gunbroker and found that someone is selling new (surplus) Weatherby Mk V 338-06 factory barrels for $100 each. If you have a standard Weatherby action, and you are thinking of rebarreling, this looks like an affordable way to get a 338-06!
Fluted...
Presume someone was starting to work on their bucket list due to a recently diagnosed health issue and black bear was on that list. Is there a place that the person could hunt for a decent black bear either with an outfitter or DIY for $1500 or less? Or maybe even with an OTC tag and the help of...
Here are the first pictures of my new 338-06 A-Square.
The specs are:
Ruger M77 Hawkeye
23" PacNor super match grade stainless barrel with factory contour
1:9 twist
Leupold 2.5-8x36 VX3
"Duke" engraved on the barrel (that was my dad's nickname - the only thing his family ever called him)
I'll...
Ok, I have my dad's 7x57 Mk X mauser with the full length mannlicher stock. Even though it is a 20" barrel, the rifle is damn heavy. There is also a high gloss finish on the stock.
My thoughts are to restock it with a AA Claro Walnut stock but I am not sure if anyone makes a stock for that...
I'm sure everyone got the email about Mr Nosler's passing and the 25% discount offered on the partitions. I was going to buy some but noticed that the .338 210gr was only 25 count and everything else was 50 ct. Has the .338 210gr partition always been just 25 per box and I just never noticed it?
does anyone know of a store/source that still has one in stock? All of the places I've googled have "out of stock" or "discontinued". I wonder how Zeiss will fill that slot/void? Was it just a poor selling scope for them? Their own website still shows the scope but I guess they just haven't...
It was 52 degrees yesterday morning at 6:30 a.m.! That was my first time on the range in a couple of months and the cool weather was awesome!!
I bought some 140gr BT for my .280 a couple of weeks ago just to see how my Ruger would like them. I've got my 140gr AB load settled but I wanted a BT...
I found this on 24Hr Campfire and is an awesome deal for someone!! I thought I would post it here in case someone was interested. It is a Ruger M77 Stainless .338 WM with less than 20 rds for $475!!! The guy is in AK but so what for that price...
If one currently has a gloss blue finish on his rifle now and wanted to make it a matt/flat blue, like Ruger's finishes, how would that be done? Bead blasted by a gunsmith? A whole new bluing job by a gunsmith?
I ask because I am thinking about rebarreling a rifle and would prefer the matt...
If you were buying a Ruger Hawkeye, and you had a choice of either caliber, which of the two would you choose? I have a 338 Win Mag, stainless Model 70 with 26" barrel, that someone may want to buy.
I can't really justify keeping it - especially when I want a smaller rifle and specifically a...
I have searched everywhere on the net for an approximate value on one of my rifles which I am contemplating selling. It is an Interarms MkX mannlicher stocked .308. It has a 20" barrel and is the Yugoslavia built mauser action. I don't have the serial # in front of me but I bought it brand new...
I have a new (less than 80 rds through it) Ruger M77 Hawkeye and I am thinking about putting on a 24" Pac-Nor barrel on it. I am considering doing it in a .280AI so I was wondering what would be the better number of grooves - 3 or 5? And what twist - 8, 9, or 10? I plan to mostly shoot the 140...
I finally got around to loading up my first test loads with the 140 AB. My rifle doesn't seem to like velocity right now. I tried RL19 and IMR4350 with pretty good accuracy but the faster the load, the worse it got. Both produced the best results with the less than max loads.
Again, this was...
