I've owned/used a double handful of Shilen's in many calibers, all were Righteous Barrels! I've also owned/used, PacNor, Lilja, Krieger and Douglas. Shilen is same quality DownRange! I have one right now in 7x57 that isn't even broken in yet, and I have several 1/2" groups of 5!

For a second I thought you were asking who all "has Twins"? ha My Twin girls will be 50 this coming June!!! Great find there Uncle Fotis! I had a BB 375, and a BB 444. Never really hunted either one, shot them alot though!

Hang it up, put your parts together and have it chambered in 25-06 Ackley Improved! You won't be tempted to overcharge it as its a screamer below Max! Have a ball man.

I bet all serious Handloaders have enough powder on hand, of different burn rates, to last us the rest of our Life! lol You work up a practice load with the powder you know you won't shoot in a hunting load. You use sparingly the "favorite" powder for your serious Game Loads. You have some kind...

That was my first '06 case "Wildcat", so to speak and that 35 WAI case is almost cylinder! I had tried every powder in their #1 Load manual except H322 behind their old 200X, no results. Finally a light came on ) thinking 45-70 fast burners and why) I tried H322. Bingo, perfection, 2970fps! 58gr...

Interesting to note; back in '96 I used 53.5gr of XMR br2015 behind the original Barnes 250x in my 35 WAI fir 2550-2600. ( under 3/4") That 2500-2600 speed seems to be a sweet spot on many Whelans (or AI) with a 250. It shoots surprisingly flat too! ( Thanks for reminding me it was an XMR...

Meat that I've taken with my own handloads just somehow "tastes' better", don't you agree"? Congrats, well done! You yourself must be some kind of "Bull" by the looks of that rear quarter on you pack! ha

Beautiful Fwt Teach, they are my favorite Mod 70.

For that matter, the looks of that 6.5 RPM always twanged my banjo! One could neck it down for a hot 25! It would give the 257 Wby a run for its money I bet!

Life is too short Uncle Guy! You already know what the 25-06 will do, give that 6.5/06 (or 6.5 Sherman, or Gibbs, or 6.5/280 Ackley Improved ) a tryout! ha

Beautiful Teach! My favorite Mod 70! I have a nice one (not as pretty as your stock!) I had my 25" Shilen #2 7x57 built on.

I have the same scope on my 7x57 Marshall! Wat back in the 90's, I had a young man in my church that had a .280 , but in the Remington, BDL SS. He used the then available Federal Premium with the Nosler 150 Partition. He killed alot of mule deer/elk with that combo! In fact, he had such success...

Nostalgia Bum here, congrats on a great rifle. Back in '77 I read alot of Jim Carmichael explaining how that the factory 280 was loaded down for the Model 740 Remington. I knew a guy who used that same outfit and liked it. Mr C. said to get the best out of it handloading was required. I had only...

Sweet rifle Marine! I am discovering the same thing with my new baby...it's like it aims to please.

I thi)k you should go ahead and get it Ackleyed, work up loads from Quikloads to 64,500K. Use that light Hammer or the 120s for everything! Then you would have a quiet lightning bolt! :)

If I owned that 84M in 257 Roberts, I would end up getting it Ackleyed, ha. I traded a like new 6" Colt Python even for one of the first Special Run Mod 700 Classic in 257 Roberts, new, at a gunshop in Vidor Texas, 1982. I was a mud engineer on a well there. I had been reading some on the...

I'm also a member over on HammerTime, been discussing this over there too. Several spoke well of the 154gr HHT ( Hammer Hunter Tipped) that has a short nose. What I really like about Hammers is the fact one can just buy a sample pack)15) and try them out. I'm going to do that.

Doc, how have you found N560 in those cold temps? Does it lose speed like WW760?

I had a nice 358 Win Browning BLR a few years ago. I had the same issue. I ended up having to use a 200 TSX instead of my favorite 200 TTSX. It shot the 200 Clkts fine, but they are a short bullet nose too. I have to get this rifle's trigger adjust right, seal the inletting yet. Scope it ( it...

I like the way 200 grainers thump out of an '06, just never loaded them in a WSM. I just loaded up some trial loads of 168 TTSX (pulled from last batch of handloads) over Big Game (per Barnes load data) and it seems this rifle has a tad short throat. From touching the lands to the bolt face...
