I tried the 150 gr. ABLRs in three 7x57 rifls and a .280 Remington. None of the rifles liked that bullet. Too bad. It's a really good looking bullet. Paul B.

Accubond. That is if the rifle likes it. Paul B.

Well said Guy. I believe justice should be swift. No long drawn out trial with a dozen of so appeals. Paul B.

"f you could choose just one cartridge or bullet to hunt with for the rest of your life, would you choose: a cartridge, or a bullet?" Very simple. I would choose my semi-custom FN Mauser 30-06. nd the 165 gr. Nosler Accubond. I do like the looks of the Nosler 150 gr. ABLR in 7MM but so far it...

RIP Mr. Kirk. Paul B.

When I got my first set of reloading dies for the 30-06, it came with two seating stems, on for spitzer and one for round nose bullet. There also was two seating pieces that were interchangeable for flat and round top primers. Currently all primers are flat top. That old loading die set with...

RIP Mr. Nosler. Paul B.

As I have menioned before, my favorite load for the .308 is the 165 gr. Speer Hot Core for two reasons. One, it is the only load I have found that would at least give me a consistent 1.50" at 100 yards from a Ruger M77 RSI that I got into cheap because the previous owner couldn't even come...

It all depends on a number of things. The twist rate of the rifling, seating depth of the bullet and frankly I don't know what else. I'm goinf to state what I think on twist rate in the barre. According to the Speer manual data, the common twist for the .257 Roberts is 1 in 10" This is what...

Try some of the gun part places and see if you can find a breech block, either rim fire or centerfire. Any decent gunsmith and close up the firing pin hole and convert to center fire. You can switch to shoot center fir .32short and langs yer have the breech block to restore the rifle to...

I guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy as about the only thing I run in my 30-30s is my home cast bullets. I've used the Lyman #311291, a nominlly 175 gr. round nose bullet snce 1954. Only difference is the mold is marked Ideal and the bullet as #308291. Bullet originally came out in IIRC, 1905...

I've found the .270 Win. to be one of the easiest cartridges to find an accurate load for. Paul B.

They don't have the snob appeal of some of the higher priced but really no better barrels. Pau B.

That's kind of difficult. Many people know little about firearms and are scaed to death. I had a neighbor across the street that when her husband died, asked me for a favor. She wanted me to come to the house to her bedroom and remove her late husband's handgun, a Star .40 caliber. There was the...

Nice win. All the custom and semi-custom rifles I have owned, have Douglas barrels. If I decide to do another, it too will use a Douglas barrel. Paul B.
