Doesn't anyone have a rifle that the first animal was a rabbit, squirrel, coyote, or javelina.

When I started reloading for the Robert's back in 1982, I found a load in a very old Pacific reloading manual for 117 gr bullet and 47grs of H-4831. It was way more velocity (2900 fps) than any load in any manual. I gave it a try and it shot really small groups with the 117 Sierra. I...

I do not use that combo. I've found H 4831 and Reloder 22 are the key to the Roberts.

Alas, it's gone.

I got a back in stock notice from Midway this morning. Reloder 26, get after it.

One of my friends etec went down because of the ignition computer or what ever it's called. He can get a used one for around 1500 and add labor with no guarantee. He's looking for a new or newer outboard.

Life is good when you draw " the" tag. Good luck on your hunt.

I used grand with a 150 partition, my load ended up being 62.0 grs with a magnum primer. The deviations were large using regular rifle primers. I did a ladder test starting at 57.5 and working up.

Remington made a stainless model 700 classic in 257 roberts that was short action. One of the Sierra bullets with the short ogive might be a good option.

Nice featherweight. One of my proven loads for my featherweight uses H -4350 and a 130 partition but with a load around 20% higher than what you loaded.

When I was a kid, my mother froze everything dad and I brought home, fish, quail, dove, frog legs, et al in milk cartons. Back then we used a lot of milk and it was delivered to the door. Does anyone still make waxed paper cartons?

How do you clean and put your fish up?

I've shot a lot of quail and never used anything but a Remington 1100 20 gauge with a 26" improved cylinder barrel. I usually used Remington sureshot 1oz number 7 1/2.

I like using cracker crumbs to keep the meat moist and as a binder. Onions are always good as perhaps a bit of bell pepper. Now, where's the ketchup?
