    New to me 1952 Ruger Standard

    They made this model in .22 short also but are very rare, mostly for Gov use. I shot one that the barrel was also a silencer which had no markings and was a backup carry gun for a CIA operative, His primary carry was a Hi Standard which was also a .22 short and the barrel was a silencer. Both...

    Rooster!

    Yeah that's the way to do it. Wish there was still some Roosters around here. No till farming and fence row removal killed them off .

    300 Win Mag Super Grade

    Thanks Fotis for the offer. It is a used rifle that I don't know it's history. It's been in the back of the safe for over 5yrs and I should get it out and see what my notes say it was doing. I might even have a few post on here about it that I can dig up.

    22WMR

    Way back when I was told you could only use 3/4" scopes on rimfire rifles but bought one of the first Ruger 1022s that I could find and put a straight 6X40 1" Bushnell Banner on it. It worked great and had no problem shooting gray squirrels out of treetops or ground hogs out to 100yds with it...

    300 Win Mag Super Grade

    You are getting that Beautiful rifle zeroed in Fotis and it looks like it will shoot as good as it looks. My 300Win still sits in the safe unused since I couldn't find a load that it or I liked with 180gr or 200gr bullets. Maybe I should try some light for caliber bullets in it below 180gr.

    Shiloh Sharps 50 2 1/2”

    Scratch my head trying to remember the name of the Trophy and the match that the military used to hold with England that they shot out to 1000yds with the Sharps and the Remington Rolling block rifles. Not shore but Palma or Palmyra seems to stick in my mind. Those rifles were fitted with false...

    Favorite 1911 magazine

    1911's will work with just about any magazine unless it is a custom target gun with a hard fit barrel and bushing, then the old standby GI issue will work with just about any ammo. Most problems stem from magazines releasing the ammo too soon causing a failure to feed.

    Seating Die Flattening bullet points!

    I drill out my pistol dies seater stems to seat on the shoulder of the SWC lead bullets. I would put the stem in a vice and drill the seater stem a little deeper using a drill bit that is a little larger than the bullet tip. Make sure not to mess up where the o-gave contacts the stem.

    Need Quikload for new 338-06 please

    Anytime my friend. I almost had J.E.S. rebore the M70 I used for the 35AI to 338-06 but couldn't escape the call for something different. Got a good M70 Classic in 338WM so I have my bases covered.

    Need Quikload for new 338-06 please

    Just did a check at the Hodgon reloading center page and since your loading light for caliber bullets there is some interesting date there. 3000fps using BLC2 and 2900 with CFE223, H332, Varget and others.

    Shiloh Sharps 50 2 1/2”

    Hey Scotty just a little something else to consider with adjusting your POI. Though I'm use to shooting black powder muzzle loaders I found by adjusting the powder charge for intended range of shooting worked great to change the elevation. I had my target load and then I had my hunting load...

    Weatherby Vanguard Sporter

    I had one in 300Wby that I won in a raffle that shot great after I put it in a decent stock. It came in a cheap poly stock that wouldn't hold epoxy bedding and would shoot loose. I also had a Ruger 77 Hawkeye in 338Win that did the same thing that came in a cheap plastic stock. Put it in good...

    Kimber 338 Federal

    Looking good Scotty and I like the wood on it. While you have the action out of the wood, I would check the bedding if you hadn't already done it.
