There is a poll runnning in Austrailia right now asking if they shouold ban the annual duck hunt. There is some population concerns and perhaps better management needed, but this is to BAN it. www.premier.vic.gov.au/share-your-ideas ... -2010.html Let's give them a hand shall we?? JT.

Of course, nosler could build me a 155 or 160 grain Custom Comp bullet that would look like a pencil without the lead point...... Would be spectacular. JT.

I have a Pac-Nor, but I ordered it with a faster twist than I needed and now I need heavy for caliber bullets and maybe a rechamber to a severe overbore to get the potencial out of it. It's a 1-8.5 chambered in 264 withi a turn neck and it shoots 140 VLDs and SMK's very well. I would have tried...

What have you come up with??

I seem to recall the NCR's having a Pac-Nor barrel, would that also be true of the M48's?? JT.

My VTR was finished yesterday. The action has been trued, the trigger lightened up and the integral muzzlebrake removed/barrel recrowned. My gunsmith suggested taking the muzzlebrake off as the factory crown was pretty ugly and that is the only way to recrown a VTR barrel. I took his word for...

Has anybody got any load data with either H870 or 8700 for the 270 wby & 300 Ultra Mag?? The 270 wby has a slow twist, so I'll be starting with 130 grain accubonds and Sierra GameKings. If it'll handle 140's I'll for sure use them, but I am not sure it will. THe 300 Ultra will get 180 & 200...

Making dies is possible, but it works much better with a resize reamer that is about 5 thou undersized and will allow your brass to hold it's form and have enough clearance to chamber easily. IF your brass is the same size as the chamber it won't chamber or not easily. The bigger mistake is...

They are about $138 Usd from Pacific Tool & Gauge. Shipping was $23 bucks for me, but that was too Canada. In the US you have the option of renting reamers. I don't have that luxary, it is not expensive, about half the cost of buying it. If you are after that chambering specifically and can...

+1, 7mm rem brass is fairly simple to reform and neck turn. I go in two steps, first to .264 neck diameter by way of a 264 win neck die and then .257 with the FL 257 wby die. Neck turning is advised. I would fear excessive pressure with a unturned neck since it will be a bit thicker As a side...

I have one.

Anybody here know how to boresight a VTR?? the integral brake won't allow use of a pilot boresighter and I hardly want to buy a lazer bore sighter for one rifle. Any tips?? JT.

I'm just into the Ackley's. Not sure if it's just the quality barrel or chambering, but my 22-250AI shoots lights out. My younger brother shot a one-hole group with it yesterday and I shot around 3/4" shooting leaning against a truck box with my arms crossed along the box. I'll know soon, my...

Nobody ever said that high BC was free, LOL. I'd personally favor the 260AI or 6.5-06AI, but that is due to A: an aversion to trimming brass. less time trimming is more time shooting and B: I have a 264 turn neck with a 8.5 twist and get pressure at loads I could reach with a -06 case, so...

I'm thinking you're quite close to the truth there. I know that a 105 will stabilze more easily with a 243 AI in a 1-9 twist, but normal twist is 9.5 or 10 in a 243 win and that max's out at 100 grains. I guess if somebody built a 6mmWSM that it would be able to stabilize heavier than normal...

That is a very entertaining story. I think we can all relate, but that rockpile had more history than most of us can get a tangible hold of. The 303 brit was likely a canadian visiting, and I'm barely being humorous, they were that common. I think most rural, canadian families had one kicking...

That was a pretty cool idea for a Christmas gift, and refinishing a FN is never a bad investment, they're fine guns. JT.

Well, I tend to spot and stalk, but I will admit for WT it's alot more like baiting. My dad's got 100 acres of alfalfa and I had 40 acres of alfalfa with a covercrop of oats, so it wasn't a question of if you'd see something. I haven't got out hunting anything, but WT for 10 years, so I have to...

(anybody want to see Fotis flip??) Why an AccuBond, just use a 107 grain SMK. :lol: :lol: A 105 grain AB, hmmmm. death from afar to coyotes. JT.

We have lynx and cougar here in NE Alberta now too. There is one that crosses the road a half mile from my dad's house every year or two. We assume it is around more than we see it. Really unnerving to have around with smaller children around on occasion. Good cause to have a decent dog on the...
