I used .270 data as a base for my .280 Rem. The only similarly common bullet is the 150 gr. So I reduced the .270 load and wworked up From there I sent to a 160 gr. Speer Grand Slam (older version) using WMR powder with is now long gone. My rifle is a custom on a DWM Argentine Mauser with a 24"...

Not in a .270 but the 165 gr. Accubond shoots sub MOA in my 30-06, I took a nice fat cow elk with it a few years back. Bullet hit the right side just behind the short ribs and stopped in the left lung making strawberry jam in the process. I never found the bullet and no exit wound. I think it...

Well I have a 6MM Remington and 7 MM Rem. Mag in Ruger #1s, the "B" model and a Ruger #1A in 7x57. Then there is the .280 Rem. which once carried the name 7MM Express. Sll are nice guns and all are very accurate except the 7x57, Still at 1.25" on average it's more than good enough to hunt with...

I've never used one of the Bergers in anything and frankly probably never will. Someone mentioned the ABLRs and what little I have done with them has been pretty dismal. I tried the 150 gr. ABLR in three different 7x57 rifles and a .280 Remington. Nothing even close to good in the 7x57s and the...

In conversations with different guides on elk hunts, their opinion was depending on the cartridge the distance should be 100 yards or more and with most magnums definitely more. The only ABLRs I've done anything with were in three 7x57 rifles and a .280 Rem. I never got any kind of decent...

FWIW, you can use those same receiver sights on the post 64 M94 rifles. I have a few pre64 M94s and a couple of M64s which are a fancier version of the M94. I also have one post 64 M94 and thus is the crux of my comments. When I snap a pre 64 to my should while looking at a spot on the was or...

I have two Redhawks, a 5.5" and a 7.5". Either one needs a carriage as they have mass and weight. Definitely hell for stout. I wouldn't mind finding a 4.2" just to complete the set. Paul B.

Me too! Six shots and six dead elk. What's not to like? Rifle is a custom Mauser, 24" barrel, 1 in 14" twist. Load is the 225 gr. Barnes TSX, Remington brass, Winchester WLR (standard) primer and RL15 powder. Accuracy usually one inch or less and velocity 2710 FPS. Paul B.

This is all very interesting. Sometimes it does good to resurrect an old thread. I think this is one that needs to come up every once in a while. When I look at the photo of Guy's ammo, I think that the bullet is the Lyman #429241 which Lyman slightly altered which angered Mr. Keith. as they...

My first .35 Whelen was a Ruger M77RS. Number two was a Remington M700 Classic and finally an Oberndordorf Mauser custom which has put the other two on a semi-retired status. The first two have 22" barrels and a 1 and 16" twist and the Mauser 24" with a 1 in 14" twist. All three rifles shot...

My first press wasn't even a press, but the old Lyman 310 tong tool I loaded some very accurate 30-30 and 3-06 ammo with that old system. The only drawback was it neck sized only. I had reached the ripe old age of 16. A few years later I picked up a Pacific "C" press so the I could use a full...

Welcome aboard Sixtus. I hope you'll pardon me going a bit off to the side but it is real time experience. I did what little handgun hunting in the early 1970s snd IIRC, Nevada allowed handgun hunts on deer for the first time in IIRC 1973 or maybe 74. I used a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum...

I feel your pain. We lost my stepson a few years back. He was more a son to me than the one blood kin son from a a previous marriage. You have my prayers and condolences with the hope they will help heal. Paul B.

Congratulations! It's hard for me to keep up but a rough last count was 10 Grandkids and 4 Great grandkids with possibly another one on the way. Paul B.

I once overheard my late wife talking with a neighbor who was decidedly anti-gun and hunting. She said that I got up and and went to work every day. He doesn't come home drunk or chase the floozzies. If buying a new every once in a while is what makes him happy? tThen I'm happy. Besides, get to...
