I recently rechambered a Ruger No.1 in 223 to a 225 Winchester, mainly just because I didn't have a 225 Win. Load data for the 225 with Win 748 called for Fed 215's. The cartridge shoots much better with standard primers. I couldn't tell any difference between the two as far fps over my Oheler.

sold my 270 several years ago and have kind of missed it. Would like to have a 270 cal. but maybe something a little different. Everyone seems to I have a 270 or an 06. The 270 AI doesn't seem to show much of a gain and I was wondering about the 270 Gibbs. Does anyone know anything about...

Both the Winchester and the Browning barrels were plated for that cartridge. My coyote hunting friend shoots the Winchester and it is truely a long game getter. I wouldn't worry about it going obsolete, it takes many years for brass to be a problem. I personally like the odd type cartridges...

Has anyone had any experience with the Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40mm Side Focus scope. This would be a coyote,PD and squirrel scope. Any comments. $300 is about my limit for a scope.

I have 4 of them darn things. I love them, but seems like everyone of them needs some attention. If I didn't own Rugers, there wouldn't be any excuss to go to the range. I've put Moyer triggers in 3 of them, the 4th one has the original adjustable trigger which Moyer copied. Also had the...

Give Browning customer service a call. They can give you an answer.

Has anyone had any experience with this bullet? How has it preform on game and what load date would you be willing to share? Panhandlepr

I forgot to put in the volocity on the above load. Across the sky screens it hits 3145 fps. Panhandlepr

My 7m/m WSM is a Browning A-Bolt with a 22 barrel. My load is a 139 gr Hornady with 75.2 grains of Ram Shot Magnum powder. Tried most of the other powder and couldn't get any volocity out of it. Bought a pound of the Magnum and that lit the fuse a little better. Groups real well also...

I did call McMillian and they said for a left hand stock, add another $100. I feel their prices are high enother all ready. That puts a stock at a little over $500. For that kind of money, I want to see some fancy grain. Panhandlepr

I am in the planning stages of building a DG rifle in 9.3x62 and need your thoughts on barrel length. This will be built on a Charles Daly LH action, either a Douglas or Shilen barrel and a black laminate stock. What are your suggestions? Thanks Panhandlepr

Does anyone out there know if anyone makes a Left-Hand Composition stock for a Left-Hand Charles Daly mauser? I have'nt had any luck finding anything. Still trying to figure out how to stock these 2 actions I have. Panhandlepr

I recently purchased 2 of the LH Charles Daly actions and am very satisfied with the workmanship. I am a retired tool maker and the machining on these look good to me. Someone on another thread had commented that the quality on the Charles Daly is better than on the Santa Barbara actions that...

I don't think I've ever seen the pros and cons of these two types of barrels. Is one more accurate than the other? Does one last longer the the other? What does the benchrest guys use? Which one gives more for the dollar spent? Panhandlepr

I have an older LH Rem 3006 that I would like to rebarrel to 280 AI. I recently rebarreled a Rem VLS to 223 AI and it works fine as long as I use a single shot adaptor. It really doesn't feed well when fed from the magizine. This works fine for this rifle as I single load all of my squirrel...
