Can someone explain to me why the pilot was locked up for two years in an Irish prison? Payback for the Irish potato famine perhaps? Erin Go Bragh!! I guess those guys knew best, but I've got my doubts about that backhoe archaeology method. It looked like there were a lot of well...

A Browning design, for sure, but this is not a "ma deuce". The little rimmed .303 cartridges instead of the cigar-length .50BMG ammo is a dead giveaway. Reminds me of all the nights I spent on top of a sandbagged Conex container back in 67-68 with the old M-2. The well preserved condition...

Avoid leaving your cases in the loading block and charging them directly from the powder measure. Too easy to double charge or miss a case if distracted. I always work with two loading blocks and do every case one at a time, then checking the powder level visually when I'm done, just to make sure.

Pretty impressive blow-up with the S&W. I've often wondered if the cowboy action shooters have their sqib load problems, because that's about what they shoot anyway, with just enough velocity to get a bullet out the barrel.

"Romulan cloaking device"! I love it! You've got some nice Winchesters there, Paul. As for myself, I have my Dad's 94, an 86 in .33 Win., a 71 in .348, a Marlin 39 Mountie and my nice Winchester Mod. 54 in 30-06.

Tastefully done and a fine caliber. The "Guns" writer, John Barsness has many good things to say about the 9.3X62. A couple years back I picked up an early Husqvarna in 9.3X57. A little chambering work and it now is a 9.3X62. With reloads and the 286 gr. Prvi Partizan factory ammo, it thumps...

Some progress made this morning shooting my 1910 Ross. The rifle purchased decades ago from a gunshop in Grand Coulee, Washington had already been drilled and tapped for scope bases. I recently installed Weaver bases and a 6X Burris scope. I am trying to get the rifle to group and to give me...

As far as preventing rust, RIG grease is hard to beat for long term storage. Keep your guns in a dry or climate controlled place (i.e. not down in the damp basement), use a dehumidifier device in your gunsafe if required and check your firearms for rust periodically to catch things before...

I would strongly suggest a grind-to-fit pad and to have a qualified gunsmith do the installation, especially if the stock needs to be shortened. Decelerator pads must be very close to stock size before grinding, else you will grind into the steel support plate within the pad and the job will be...

Fellow reloaders: I'm the new guy here and I don't want to step on any toes by adding my two cents worth. Making .280 Ross cases from .300 H&H or .375 Ruger cases is no more of an emergency thing than making .33 Winchester cases from 45-70 cases or .256 Newton cases from .270 Win. It is...

Dr. Mike: Don't go to too much trouble of measuring. Just give me the little numbers stamped on the top edges of the base and we should be close. I was thinking that maybe the #61 rear and #46 front bases for the Savage 110 might do, since the Savage has a flat rear receiver bridge like the...

Dr. Mike: I notice that your Ross has Weaver bases. Would you be so kind to give me the numbers of the front and rear base, since I plan to put a scope on my already drilled and tapped rifle? I have .500 hole spacing on the front receiver ring and .440 spacing on the rear receiver bridge. My...

I'm new here to this site but have owned my M-10 .280 Ross for some years. Dr. Mike, you may be aware that more misinformation has been printed about the "dangerous" Ross than any other rifle. I suggest you pick up the 2002 Gun Digest and read the excellent article by Jim Foral "The Model 1910...
