Very attractive and mechanically sound rifle in a very useful cartridge. Makes you want to learn Swede and go shoot a moose.

I see you had a mauser conversion, is that what you're loading for. If it is I would start with 46 grs of H 4831 sc and work up to 48-49 grs which should give you close if not more than 3000 fps from that 24" barrel. No problem with expansion.

Great looking holster.

Rain degrades doppler radar. Gives you inaccurate returns.

My son shot a 300+ pound wild hog with a 257 Roberts and one of the first batch of 100 gr ballistic tips at what I guess would have been around 3200 fps. Perfect hit behind the shoulder. An electric chair could'nt of dropped it quicker, drt. I quit counting the off side exit holes. Lots of...

The solid base is a tougher bullet than a sierra Game King. I observed this by taking numerous deer in south texas with both bullets. Mainly the 140gr at 7mm rem mag velocity and the 130 gr in 270. I eventually went to the 162 gr solid base in 7mm for less damage. The 162 gr Solid base 7mm...

If any of y'all are able to purchase from GovX, they offer the Athlon Rangecraft chronograph for a very good discount.

What adapter plate did you use? I'm considering adding an optic to my Ronin.

I've been carrying my 4.25" lightweight Ronin 9mm for a year now. The Ronin is coming up to a thousand rounds and has not had any fail to feed issues. It also carries easily iwb. I did add a wilson combat checkered panel to the frame for better grip. Guy, that's a good looking combo.

I'm reminded of a scene in Patton. Sometimes the men don't know when you're acting. It's not important they know, only when I do.

I use Reloder 22 with a 90 Accubond.

My 270 was stubborn in accepting a the 130 partition and required a lot of fine tuning with powder and o.a.l. 150s were much easier.

I've eaten elk, bison, pronghorn, whitetail, mule deer, javelina, rabbit, squirrel, quail, dove, pheasant, chukar, and duck. Nothing beats quail slow simmered in gravy.

I have three bags of seconds(150 total) 160gr Partitions in .277 that I would trade for a like amount of 140 or 150 Partitions of same caliber.

Don't forget that the doppler radar is going to slightly undervalue the velocity due to its angle from the bore line. 5 degrees amounts to a loss of around 10 or 15 fps of actual 3000 fps value compared to parallel to bore as in the shooting chrony or a oehler.
