I saw this same information on Midway's site and seen it stated as such elsewhere. Recalling I've bought a number of things Midway had listed as "Discontinued", I sent an email to Speer asking them straight out if the 220 grain flat nose .358 bullet was, in fact, discontinued. It's gotten to...

Give the smaller 35 bore shooter the best bullet in the world for "deer sized" game.....with a little more range: A 185 or 190 grain .358 Partition. BC would be adequate for close/mid range and a SD of .206 and .212 (rounded) respectively. The 180 grain Speer flat nose is a VERY good deer...

Thanks, SJB358.

In online searches I am getting differing lengths quote for these two actions as to what maximum O.A.L the box magazines will allow, and will feed properly. While I RARELY use the magazine for anything other than "emergency back up" rounds, it is good information to have before purchasing...

Thanks again to all. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply. God Bless

Thanks to those who have responded so far. All good info. Thanks!

With a forever tight budget for "toys" I'm looking at an older Howa 1500. A bit of research shows it to "probably" be a 1993-1994 version. Synthetic stock. I'm reading a lot about the triggers and that most have replaced the trigger with, what I ASSUME is, a new factory trigger. Cost unknown...

It seems that as I grow older (and older, lol) the more interesting and appealing the majority of the rifles of yesteryear are to me. I agree with the majority. I doubt the rifle has ever shot better than that and for a general hunting rifle at the majority of hunting ranges even if it shot...

Thanks. Still, in all the "state of the art" techie material, I agree, wool still ranks right up there. Good type on the boot dryer use. I dont give that much thought normally. God Bless Steve

Surprisingly, while going through the closing Stock and Field Store (formerly Big R) I bumped into a pair of Muck Ankle II boots (closeout priced) about 1 1/2 sizes too big. (About the size I wanted.) In the past I've used THICK felt/wool pads along with moisture wicking socks and a thinner...

Dang......if only Dad would have had a crystal ball and had bought 50 boxes of these (red box) when Nosler was in Ashland. I suppose $4.50 a box was "a lot" between 1948-1958 but they sure look inexpensive by today's dollars! Three red Ashland, OR boxes of .257: 1 box of 100 grain "Semi Point...

Did you find your scope, Filmjunkie? Not sure if it's exactly what you want since you had a K4-C3 but I have a K4-1 Microtrac 4x32mm (I think) sitting here. Send me a PM if you want photos or whatever. God Bless Steve

I only have my own experiences to share, of course, and in no way indicating anyone should follow my example. Each has their own mandated limitations on what brass to use. That said, regardless of MFG, ANY kind of primer seating issues that appears sends the entire batch off my bench and into...

Actually, no......I had not noticed that. Thanks for the head's up. God Bless

I see several reviews online on the .224" Varmint Nightmare bullet sold in bulk from Midsouth. As always, some are good, some are "ok" .some are not so good. Specifically, other than personal experiences with them good or bad, if someone would tell me the bullet length of the 55 grain Varmint...
