    Anyone seen copper on a new factory fired barrel??

    Yup, Wipeout. You can leave it in overnight, tilted down and blue will drool out the end.

    375 Ruger with Speer 270 grain BTSP Bullets

    I find Hodgdon's starting load for a 300 grain Sierra Gameking bullet using Staball 6.5 very accurate. 53 Ft Lbs recoil in a 7 pound rifle. They have load data for a 270 grain Hornady. I would try the Staball 6.5 or the IMR 4350. My favorite for a jacketed bullet is 250 grain Sierra Gameking...

    35 Whelen VS 375 Ruger

    i have a 375 ruger that is light weight. It does hurt to shoot full power 300 grain bullet loads. I even put a small sand bag against my shoulder on the bench then. However hand loading makes it a much more useful gun. grouse/bunny/gallery- round ball and 5 grains bullseye off hand practice...

    Magnum Primers with Staball?

    I have seen people say that Magnum Primers are useful with Ball powders, esp. in cold weather. Would that be a thing with the new Winchester Staball powders?

    Old Stock gun powder vs New Old Stock.

    The only powder I had go bad was from WW2. Surplus 4895. H335 from the same time worked okay. I am currently shooting the last of a can of Dupont Pistol #6 in a 44 mag. Using Primers in wooden trays.

    Local place had it for $27. I think Sportsman and others are gouging.

    Defining “Big Game”

    Jackrabbit grilled with BBQ sauce is tasty if a bit chewy. Young bear was liked by even my curious vegetarian friends when made as swiss steak. Pig is excellent.
