I was curios as to why codes specify wooden cabinets for storing powder. Seems the wooden cabinets are less hazardous to fire fighters and the general vicinity in a fire because progressive powder needs pressure to "explode". A metal cabinet or a refrigerator could create enough pressure to...

Seems most codes state a wood cabinet that has one inch sides.

Mason Mountain WMA has Giant Oryx ( gemsbok) and Scimitar Oryx by public hunt draw. It's a fully guided hunt on the state's dime.

Great story on the hunt. Maybe the Texas Parks and Wildlife will grace me with an Oryx tag this year.

Considering it's for deer hunting at moderate ranges, and considering the cost of Nosler ammo, I'd buy a couple of boxes of 150 gr Remington CoreLoc ammo and go out and shoot the rifle some.

You can get the 30-06 head size extractor from Numrich Arms also.

I think a 722 extractor is one of the parts that are no longer available. You're likely gonna need an alternate extractor. I'll modify this statement, it's the extractor for a .222 that's hens teeth.

They don't want to admit any fault in case of future damage responsibility.

I posted this in Feb 2023. This round had been loaded for 8 months. I noticed the powder was going bad so I pulled bullets on everything I previously loaded. This was IMR-4155. I wonder what the results would of been if I pulled the trigger on them.

My Model 700 classic 257 Roberts has been my favorite rifle since I bought it in 1982. I've killed more coyotes, bobcats, javalina, and deer with it than any other rifle I own, even though I take a 220 swift to the field when I'm varmint hunting and a 7mm Rem mag or 270 win when I'm deer...

The last time I weighed brass was Nosler 270 Win cases. The weight of the brass only varied by 1.5 grs highest to lowest. The water volume weight varied only 0.6 grs. I did it to give Dr Mike data to run a quickload.

If you don't have a bag of lead shot a couple of 10lb barbels will suffice.

I was just wondering the same.

That would explain the dark discoloration around plastic tip.
