I waited til the last minute to find some decent rabbit hunting area outside of Colorado Springs. We will be going in the direction around Wilkerson Pass. Anybody from around my area that has any 1 day rabbit hunting area suggestions? Thanks Steve

Yup I tried the Kroil tirck overnight. still a no go Owner took rifle to a gunsmith. thanks

I tried the soaking over night with the penetrating oil and then tapping with cleaning rod with duct tape. No Go I cannot imagine it in so tight seeing that the bolt never was pushed down. Regardless, I have decided to have the owner take it to a gunsmith and pay the $35.00. There is probably...

thanks everyone. I will try the kroil. (actually it is sitting upright with kroil as I type) I will try the light tapping but if that doesn't work, it is off to the gunsmith. thank you all very much Steve

Have a 30-06 round that was custom handloadeed for one rifle. The owner told me it was for another 30-06 rifle. The first attempt chambering was so that the bolt would not close. I knew not to force it. I tested with a second round and that was my mistake. The round is stuck in the chamber...

They look super. You are on the money!!!! One of the ways I can determine how long to keep them in the tip of the blue flame is actually watch the dis-colouration travel down the neck and onto the case just as it is about to pass the shoulder. Its a trick and happen extremely fast but once you...

I have tried a few other bullets since owning my first 338 Win Mag but I always return and now stay with the 225 AB. This post is very encouragaing and reassuring - thanks Jake!! Where did I learn about this wonderful Nosler 225 AB you might ask? From the guy I learned a vast majority of my...

7mm RM Weatherby Vanguard II - Minox ZA 5 4-20 Federal 215 primers; Remington Case 150 gr Nosler Partition 61 gr Alliant RL17 Just touching Lands Average around 3069 FPS +- 19 FPS Got back from range yesterday. Had a bad start. 100 yard. Started off not hitting target. Once on paper, hits all...

For me, I will soon find out regarding the 150 gr Partitions and 7mm Rem Mag. After a lot of research on the Partition and the super comments from all of you experienced shooters, I have decided to go with them as my 7mm Rem Mag hunting bullet. the real trick is building a load with them...

Hey Scotty! Thanks! I have not re-installed my software on the computer since we just moved into our new and final home this month. Yup this is my rifle! :) :) I was using RL22 last year but some people have used the RL17 and stated super results so I purchased 5 pounds (before the shortage...

Hi Peeps, I know there are many different opinions on powders for the 7mm Rem Mag but is anyone using RL 17 for theirs and how are the results. Any recipe hints would be appreciated. I am shooting with mag primers, 24" barrel and testing with both Nosler 150 gr Partitions and Nosler 160 gr...

Sorry for the late post reply. He is an excellent reloader, but even so we reviewed everything. Inspected cases, measurements and practices. Look at the extracter, chamber, and then looked at one last thing. The rifle's bolt's alan bolt tensioner. Guess what? It was loose. Barely loose but...

Thanks everyone. He is brnging the rifle over tomorrow afternoon and we are going to look at all things mentioned here. This is a 100 % custom built rifle. Not sure all the parts. thanks again 338winmag

A friend has a custom 300 WM that has been used for a couple of seasons and has at least 300 reload rounds down the barrel. The exact same reload formula has been used since its first outing. For some reason, extraction (dummy rounds, brand new brass, 3x used brass, different bullets, prep...

My muzzle brake on my 338 win mag is cerakoted and looks like the same day I got it back from the gunsmith 3 years ago and at least 450 rounds. I have to add though that I believe the professional performing the job has a lot to do with how it holds up. 338winmag

ummmm ... I don't know about the real truth some manufacturers are stating. Use discernment from history. With the esception of a few locations, how can all these bullets (and other components) being made not show up on some shelves across the nation from all these manufacturers? Something is...

I am confused Fotis. Maybe I am mistaken but i thought I read your thread where you stopped using the lead sled and the 378 Bee still damaged the scopes? Hmmm. I use the lead sled and with no issues on multiple calibers but nothing greater than the 338winmag. I place 50 pound on it. Perhaps the...

Thanks Wondermutt! Excellent information. I have lots of mag primers and only a half a brick of the regular primers. The way things are going at the stores, I might not see regular primers for a long time. Once I get out to the range, I will report back with my loads and what I get with the...

thanks everyone. Some new and interesting thoughts regarding the use of mag primers. You guys have made my day. :):):) A great bunch of people! Steve

I am fortunately then good to go. Thanks Mike!
