I have a Leupold VX-3 1.75-6x32mm on my Marlin 1895G 45-70. It's been a great scope and is perfect for this rifle. Sadly Leupold discontinued this scope several years ago. JD338

I don't know but a 100-105 gr AB or ABLR would definitely be a good one for the 6mm's. JD338

From what I have seen and read, I firmly believe that most "bullet failures" are not bullet failures but instead poor marksmanship and bullet placement. JD338

Thank you fellas. It took a long time to get to this project and get it done. I'm pretty happy with the end result and will really appreciate it when the weather gets cold. JD338

The return of the Solid Base bullet in the Whitetail line of ammunition last fall was a huge success for Nosler. I expect to see additional offerings in the future. As a result, seconds are offered when they become available. I grabbed several bags of the 308 165 gr SB last year and filled a...

I really like the looks of this rifle. A minor tweak and you will be up and running. Nice work Rick! JD338

Here's a few pictures of the project. JD338

The issue has been resolved and you should now be able to post pictures. Let me know if you're having any problems. JD338

Thanks for confirming that the rifle is a short action. As Guy mentioned, run the 100 gr PT and you should be able to crimp. As a side note, I only crimp 44 Rem Mag and 45/70. All other cartridges, including 338 RUM, 375 HH Mag and even the 416 Wby Mag, do not get crimped and I have never had...

I guess the same could be said about the 44 S&W Special and 44 Rem Mag and/or 22 Short, Long and Long Rifle. JD338

Exactly! JD338

Your project is moving right along. Shouldn't be much longer... JD338
