My thoughts are that any bullet manufacturer that has a goverment contract has been busy producing ammunition that is being sent to the Ukraine. First it was Covid with shutting down, then labor and material shortages, and now the war in the Ukraine. Maybe this is just going to be the new...

I killed my first buck with a Remington 760 in .35 Rem. I was young and like a fool thought I needed more fire power and traded it for a Remington 740 in 30/06. You don't know how many times I have wished to have it back. Many years later I picked up a Remington 141 in .35 Rem but it has yet to...

I have not tried the Lyman blocks but I think I will be. You can never have too many loading blocks...LOL

Don't overlook Hornady's 162 gr SST for a 7mm Rem Mag. It is an excellent hunting bullet.

First, produce what you already have in your line. Second, add: .257 120 grain Accubond Long Range .172 30 grain Accubond or Ballistic Tip

I'm still using reformed Jagemann brass in my 257 Ackley. It is very good brass but the company was aquired by Ammo Inc. The company shows JMC brass on their website but in limited calibers and I don't believe it is available to the general public.

My least favorite task is removing the case lube after sizing. If someone has a good process for this task, please post.

I have a chance to pick up a Remington model 600 in 6.5 Remington Magnum. If I purchase it I would like to put it in to a Mannlicher stock. Now the big question, remove the vent rib and rib mounts, leave the rib, or rebarrel to get rid of the rib.

They are out of stock but RCBS does make the dies.

My first was a 6.5/284 and my second was 6.5-06 Ackley Improved. If I add a third it will be a 260 Ackley Improved or a 6.5x55.

I hunt with both my 1AB in 7x57 and my 1B in 280 Rem. Both are great rifles and a joy to hunt with.

Question! If I'm shooting test loads though my chronograph to try and find a velocity node, is it necessary to shoot beyond a 100 yards?

Thanks for the feedback!

Unless you have a big supply of IMR-4320 I wouldn't spend much time with it. It has been discontinued.

I have a Savage 99C that I had JES re-bore to .358 Win a few years ago. I've been playing around with TAC and Hornady 200 gr soft points but am not getting the accuracy that I'm looking for. I want to stick with 200 gr but is there a better powder choice?

It is the sickest feeling in the world to loose one. I'm glad your going back to look again.

Great story

It could be professionally restored. I've seen them where the repair is hardly visible. The idea of using it to make grips is also a good one. It is much too pretty to turn into firewood.

I'm down to three 30-06s in my cabinet, an M1 Garand, Browning 1895, and a Winchester model 70 featherweight. If the 30-06 is such a bad caliber why have we based so many cartridges on its' case? I haven't hunted with an 06 in a few years but my 35 Whelen and 338-06 Ackley have had plenty of use.

It isn't just Varget that has gotten expensive. We've seen major increases in the cost of powder, bullets, brass, primers, and ammunition across the board. As long as there is this great demand for products out there the price isn't coming down soon, if ever again. I know that it has caused me...
