Dave, Are you referring to the thumbhole? I now own 2 with the 'thumbhole' and just ordered a third. The other day, I was shooting the two 'thumbhole' stocked rifles and a third with a standard composite stock. Near the end of my shooting day, the standard stock started to feel 'un-natural'...

YUP. (With POP's permission)

I second BTB. Besides, you can always ADD full barrel bedding - its kinda hard to remove the stuff if you full length bedded the barrel, then decided to free float.

Perhaps if the original question had been posted as "What ONE magnum would you choose to hunt ALL big game found in the 48 states".

Opinions?

Jaywalker, Rick, And Blaine, I wasn't real clear in my original question. I took ONE measurement with the SP tool and ONE with the 'dummy' case. Then I wondered why the two measurements didn't agree. Thanks guys for all your help. I push firmly on the plastic rod on the SP tool since I...

Jaywalker, If you will re-read my post, you will notice I said I used the exact same bullet for all the measurements. I normally measure to the ogive and I have the comparator, modified case, ogive inserts, and headspace gauges. So, measuring to the tip of the EXACT SAME bullet is actually...

Amen, Blaine. All the accessories needed (wanted) keep reloading from being an inexpensive hobby. As far as costs go, if you add up the press, dies, scales, measures, trimmers, components, cleaners, gauges, chronies, etc - you would find out you could buy a LOT of factory ammo. Reloading for...

270 WSM or 7mmWSM. You can load down to antelope or up to elk in bullet weights. And the starter loads don't recoil too bad. Stick a towel folded to 3 or 4 thicknesses between the gun and his shoulder so it won't kick him too bad while sighting in, etc. Tell him it simulates the added bulk...

I've got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me solve. :? I have a Stoney Point OAL gauge. I also made a 'dummy case' for each cartridge I load by cutting 2 slots down the neck. I took a test bullet and put it in the Stoney Point tool, pushed it in the chamber, and while pushing on the...

I second that, ElkSlayer

Ditto, Blaine :)

POP, I think you are going to go into severe depression when you sell all your weapons and move to Greece. Just my $.02 :wink: :lol:

My custom 30-06 with a 20" barrel likes 54.5 gr Varget and Fed 210M primers pushing a 150 SST. Groups are .75" avg with best being .54" so far. Velocity is 2933 fps which I don't think is too bad for a 20" barrel. I will be trying some Nosler 150 BTs in it soon and I expect the same results.

I would also like to know. If its going to be a while, I will need to buy more Barnes 165s.

Not only did he miss the penny - there are powder burns around the holes. :wink: :wink:

I think it is also handy to know that 1/4 turn on RCBS seating dies changes seating depth by .009". 1/2 turn would be .018", and one full turn would be .036". Don't know about other brand seating dies, but I suspect they use the same thread pitch, therefore the same change in a turn of the...

I definitely appreciate the offer. Lets keep in touch.

What about my 223 WSSM with a 1 in 10" barrel?

POP, Makes me wonder how many they miss or wound in their 1000 yard attempts. Of course, we will never hear about those. :(
