I tried not to discuss this, for the good it did.

The French claimed the land in the 1500's and lost it at the Plains of Abram some 200 years later, it should've ended at that. The language and culture is indeed well preserved and celebrated, rightly so. However, it isn't the rest of Canada's duty to do the same or foot the bill especially...

Lets leave that at the door, you don't really expect me to agree with you anyway.

OK, put 15 rounds through it today. started way low and got 2900 FPS with 140 smk's, 6" groups. Worked up and gun juiced the first 10 rounds. No stability and started showing flatter primers at 3100 FPS, at which point the gun juice was finished and I ran a boresnake and cleaned it normally...

Leupold Mark 4 4-14X50 LR/T with TMR & M1's. Little smaller magnification than I'd like, but lots of adjustment and that is a 20moa rail.

Well, I first started toying with the idea of a monster .25 or . 264 LR gun about 4 years ago and it's took that long to get it done. This is the pic I got from the smith after he shipped it, it'll be here in 2 weeks. It's a 6.5 RUM with a slow 12 twist. Depending on how much speed it can hit it...

Here is how our PM is doing. Not making friends, but standing for what he believes is right. "(Canada will) stand for what is right. No longer does this country just go along with everyone else's agenda. Our aim is no longer to please every dictator with a vote at the United Nations." Stephan...

Well, my hunting partner bailed on me again last minute. I usually hunt with my brothers who are also self employed, hence the schedule troubles. So, I cleaned up my loading room and shot my rifles a bit, horsed around with my calls again and spent some time with my boys. They're only 1 & 3 or...

I've had 1 PacNor poly barrel. I ended up trading it for a Rem 700 MLR that I thought I had to have. It was really bad for grabbing pressure fast and hard to clean. I talked to a guy that built a 7mm Dakota on one and he told me that they take awhile to break in, like 100-125 rounds. After which...

Thanks for the input Mike. I want to try to hunt midridge or higher on the cutouts. We'll be using the logging roads, so there are alot of hills that are stripped for up to a couple km. Other than trying to keep the wind in our favor and calling a bit we'll try to sit and call or just sit early...

Hello, how is everybody? Life is still very busy up North here, but I'm taking a few days to go up to Grande Prarie to hunt elk. i've never hunted elk and haven't had time to scout or anything. Is there anything a guy has to know that is different than hunting other deer species?? Any tips or...

The barrel was a prefit and my local gunsmith that mainly mounts scopes and cleans rifles can't seem to get the barrel on tight enogh to headspace. I had this problem with him before, so I just need to send it to a more seasoned smith, but they're all booked up and we have a postal strike...

I had a 31" pacnor 264 with a turn neck and 8.5 polygonal rifling, it seemed to hit pressure at 3100fPS with 140's. I found out later that the poly rifling takes along time to break in, so perhaps that was why it hit pressure all the time. Even loads I used in my old M70 264 showed a lot of...

I've been out of the 6.5mm's for a month, since I traded off my savage 264 on something else. However, after 10 months waiting for a stock and having the barrel sitting on the bench looking oh so lonely, I go pick up my 6.5 RUM today. I think I scerwed up on the twist, but we'll have to see...

I can't say that I have much overlap, but they are pretty close. I have a 223 AI and a 22-250AI, 1 is 7 lbs and the other 11, no guessing which gets more use! The lighter 20" 223AI of course. Other than that I am down to my 257 wby vanguard, 264 savage heavy barrel that I am trying to sell...

I just sold my 375 ICL Kodiak. Not sure I'll thank myself for that down the road, but it just wasn't getting used and the elk hunting trip we plan and postpone every year doesn't seem to be happening soon. So, the guy that bought it wanted both boxs of formed brass, which was loaded when I sold...

Keep it, I've sold enough to regret it a few times.

Very cool project and in one of my favorite calibers too. Heirloom's like this are important to families because they provide a tangible sense of where they came from and who they are. Awesome restoration project, that is precious metal for sure. If you can't use modern brass, is it possible...

I like that, must be fun to hunt with a handgun.

Do you guys have Kopper-kote down in the US? It's a thread lubricant that is used in pipe fitting, plumbing and to lubricate drill pipe threads on drilling rigs. Anyway, it's a fairly gross substance to handle, kinda like high temp grease with powdered copper in it, gets all over and stains...
