My friend bought a new Tikka 7-08 and I'm helping him get started in reloading. Today we took his Starline brass and prepped it up and loaded up 10 rounds. This is where I hit some confusion. He has 130 Hot Cors and IMR4350 for his loads. Speer manual says, 46.0 gr for a staring load and...

Thanks for all the kind words. I got the lion in western Colorado. The plan is to do a pedestal mount. I want to keep it simple and clean. Very little or no habitat.

A few more pictures.][

I have always dreamed of hunting mountain lions out west. For this hunt I I used my great grandfather's 30-30 that has never hunted before. He won it in a bar and gave it to my uncle who doesn't hunt. Because of the history, I figured it would be cool to use. I will give a quick recap of my...

I will start looking around town and talking to local guys. I tossed 308 out there for the bolt face. I really would like to put a 22 creed together.

Quick question, where is the best place to find a donor rifle? I'm looking for a Rem 700 or Savage that I can rebarrel myself? I would really like a short action with a 308 bolt face. Any suggestions?

I finally got my 6.5-06 up and running this summer. The thing is a dream to shoot and it loves every bullet I have tired. 143 eldx, 130 AB, 140 Btip and the 129 interlock. I really like it and plan on keeping it for a looong time.

Hey guys. It has been stressful at work so to stop my brain from overload, I started thinking about fun stuff. In talking to Scotty, he mentioned a 22cm with a fast twist to shoot the heavy bullets. I'm wondering if anyone has messed with one? I have a lead on a Savage 110 action in 30-06...

The 38-55 is not an option right now because it is not made in Rice Lake, WI.

Thanks for the info. I talked to one of the quality control guys who shoots rifles every day at the factory. They don't make all the center fire rifles in Rice Lake. The only make the 30-30 and 45-70 for rifle rounds here I guess. I was really hoping they made the 38-55 here but for now it...

I'm starting the process of saving up for a Henry Side Gate in 45-70. I'm looking at the model with the brass receiver. My one requirement is that it has to come from the Rice Lake factory. Does anyone have any information on these rifles and how they shoot? I would really like to shoot cast...

I'm a 30-06 guy from day #1 of hunting. I will always have a 30-06 in the safe!!!! (or more than 1)

After hunting season last year, my dad left his Rem 700 Mnt Rifle with me to clean. (I think it was his way of saying here is my rifle, I want you to have it). After I got it cleaned, I wanted to see if I could find a load for it. Up to this point he used Federal Fusion ammo with good...

I've been invited to apply/hunt private land in CO for antelope during the muzzleloader season. It is unit 116-117. The connection said that there are antelope, but not the numbers like WY? With this being said, has anyone hunted or been in the area near the KS boarder north of I-70 and seen...

For my 7-08 project, I'm looking at a Grayboe stock. Just wondering if anyone has used on and how they like them.

Update-I got the action and barrel assembled this weekend and it is all ready to go. Just need to order a stock/rings/bases and put the trigger in when the mailman drops it off.

I'm guessing 110 AccuBonds as well. SPS had them on sale a few weeks ago so Guy might have been shopping. I use them in my 25-06 and they smack the heck out of deer.

My local smith called and got it all fixed up. He said the action threads were actually a touch undersize and the tap cleaned it up. So for $80, it is ready for me to headspace and move forward.
