Glad that this is finding some interest for those of you in the hobby. Cant get excited about these new straight wall cartridges though. .... Wont rain on your parade any more. Have fun! Will try to watch quietly with some interest. CL

YUP! I wouldnt have picked that out as Maple due to the dark color. Im guesing thats a stain? I do like the "Blonde" looking Maple a little better, but that is a really pretty rifle. My 250 sav. was in the white with a walnut stock years ago. I had it blued because I'd never heard of...

Hey- Glad it looks good so far! Hope she shoots out the way you want. Kudos to you for letting the "young fella: work on his trade. Thats how they learn. The smith I go to, Middle aged fella with a good rep. Said he would rebarrel a rifle for me, but that he dosent "do barrel work anymore-...

Cant remember the exact numbers, but your brain registers as pain any noise above a certain level. From what i remember it is a sound level LESS than the crack of a .22. Best thing I ever did for my shooting was to start wearing hearing protection. Plugs give me problems so I dont "double...

I guess I would agree. O'Connor suggested as much as well. I think, to be able to hit a 4 inch bull CONSISTIENTLY in all kinds of weather from various positions, should probably dictate what my effective range should be. (I will confess right here I cant do that yet). However, the reality is...

Really great! Look forward to the rest of the story.... CL

I've always been a little leery of going that slow. One chance I had to Chrono that 38 Gr load came in just over 2800 on a hot summer day. I was so happy with that I refused to try again. :eek: I'm sure that 115 would work well. Dont recall how much velocity they need to expand. Im kinda...

Fella could get used to having your morning cup in that back yard! CL

Indeed- sorry for the loss. Must have n=been some one else. CL

Unsuccessful Antelope draw. But felt so good to put in again! been a long time. Thanks Arland for being willing to drag my @SS across the prairie again! At least I can say I didnt draw. CL

Nice gun, in a new home for all the right reasons. Well done. Turkey sounds right. Enjoy! CL

Do I recall correctly, did you or your friend post here about that load? I have seen some one here who posted pics of legitimate "cloverleaf" groups from there 30-30? Cant remember who... Dad used 130 Gr Boat tails (different bullet I know) exclusively. No deer ever got away. CL

An RSI would be outstanding, true. Dont make me tell my Story about the RSI /Weaver K4 for $200.00 I had to pass on 30 years ago.... dont make me do it....dont make me do it...its still too painful...:cry:. But then for a straight up hunting rifle I dont think you can do much better that a...

Nosler, Speer and Hornady all list Data for the 250. I havent done a whole lot of experimenting, and none beyond the Data. 38 Gr of 4350, over a 100 Gr BT seems pretty tight to me and is listed as Max for that powder. I have run that for years in my Mauser action. I also load VHT N150 by the...

Venison Pastrami - no. However, your mention of brineing reminded me of my Grandfather drying venison which was salt brined and hung upstairs in the unheated farm house to dry. Along about Christmas time us kids would line up at the table with a slice of home made bread and way to much butter...

Hmm- if I had a rifle to put under one.... I have a one already. Good scope. CL

That there is an Iconic Winchester. Very nice! Hope you have fun making her shoot! CL

Thats not just cool sir. That is a blessing! Go get 'em! CL

Wifes cousin has hunted with his Win. 264 for all of the thirty plus years I've known him. Dont know how much it actually gets shot, but D@mn accurate. 'course you dont have to shoot much if its a "bang flop" proposition like him. We do smile at the "Marketing Genius" and all the hype behind...

Outstanding Ernie! Good to see you've healed up and are getting out. Jealous on so many levels. Very cool! CL
