I just looked it up.Nice writeup. I noticed his was one when they were a limited edition. Brings to mind that that was probably the reason I snagged the second one as well. I have a list that has the serial numbers by year for the Ruger #1 but never did grab the one for the M77 I just might have...

I have like four rifles chambered to the .358 Win. Two Ruger M77s, an early Japanese made Browning BLR, the type that has the magazine hanging below the receiver and a Savage M99. Interesting thing about these rifles is Ruger went with the 1 in 16" twist while the Browning and Savage haave 1 in...

If I change pads on a rifle, the decelerator is the only way to fly. I have two rifles that came with Limbsavers that have turned to a disgusting goo. I won't ever consider one, even as a temporary fix. Paul B.

Welcome back. Paul B.

I think Rudolph is in serious trouble. Paul B.

My thought was load data for the 7x57 is kept low due to the older m93/95 Mausers still in use. The ABLR would probably increase the range for use in the weaker rifles. Might only be an extra 25 to maybe 50 yards but it would help. I was looking to pick up maybe as much as 100 yards as I was...

I saw what was happening in California back in 1968 when I left for good. As far as I can see it only got worse. Paul B.

On the original question by the OP, pick whichever one suits you best. I've used the .300 Win. Mag in a Walmart special Winchester M70 and used it to take an elk way out yonder. I also have four Ruger #1s all in .300 Win. mag. All are sub MOS with my pet load. Experience with the .300 WSM is...

First off, I'd like to address the comment that it's difficult to download the .300 Win. Mag to a lower level. The following is from an article by the late John Wooters on that very subject. Paul B. STAIRSTEP LOADING THE MAGNUMS From...

I guess it would depend on where one lives. First off, when I used to go to the range it was a 52 mile round trip. would try to get there by 7AM when they opened for business. I did most of my load work ups in the summer which meant that at around 7AM it was already 80 degrees or higher. I...

As you all know, the Mountain Lion is a protected species in California. About a year or so ago, a man who worked for California Fish and game went on a LEGAL Mountain Lion hunt in ANOTHER state was was successful. When California Fish & Game found out he was fired from his job. Must be one hell...

Looks like that bullet did what it was supposed to do. I haven't been quite so lucky. I thought the 150 gr. ABLR would be a perfect match for the 7x57 but so far, no such luck. I've tried that bullet in three different rifle chambered to the cartridge and also in a .280 Remington and I just...

I've only shot one animal with the Accubond bullet. I took a cow elk with my 30-06 and the 165 gr. AB over a load of W760 with velocity IIRC a little over 2800 FPS. Bullet hit in the ribs and on into the left lung destroying it. Never found an exit wound and never recovered the bullet. The elk...

I see no problem with those cases. You shot the ammo, the cases expanded due to internal pressure into a tight fit in the chamber and against the the face of the bolt. That very slight scraping you see is perfectly normal. It happened when you turned the bolt handle, If pressure had been high...

I can't speak for Wyoming but have done all my elk hunting in Arizona and New Mexico. I spent about 8 years DIY hunting for elk and in all that time got one elk. It was work with only my wife to hlp. Fast forward to 2010 when I booked with an outfitter for a guided landowner hunt. Success came...

"If you poke a hole in the heart and lungs it’s going to end up tipping over dead within a few seconds no matter how far or fast it runs." That may very well be true but I still haven't figured out how one deer shot by one of my neighbor kids with my .243 ran over 250 yards before running into a...

There was an outfit call QUE that sold a unit that was a clone of the BOSS. A friend had one on a Ruger $1 .300 Win. mag and it reduced recoil and inproved accuracy as well. I decided to get on for one of my .300 Mags but was informed the company was no longer in business. I strongly believe...

Happy birthday! Paul B.

Did you know Claude? I met him and we talked a few times when I lived in Winnemucca. I gathered he was a fairly big fan of the .243. Kind of a strange dude. As I grow older I've com to the conclusion that the hard kicking rifles have to stay at home keeping each other company. I worry these...

I think that at least for a while the plants will stay here due to the fact there's some serious government contracts involved. However, I do feel that those shareholders and their greed show a clear and present danger to the security of the country, especially is after the government contracts...
