Congratulations! What a fine addition.

It is easy to see why when one company now controls Hodgdon®, IMR®, Winchester®, Ramshot®, Accurate®, Pyrodex®, Triple Seven®, Blackhorn 209® and GOEX® brands. If we're going to complain about price and availability look at Hodgdon.

I agree with DrMike and take the time to properly break-in the barrel. When it comes to scopes, pick a name brand (Leupold, Vortex, Zeiss, etc.) that has the clarity, magnification, and features you want at a price point that you can afford (budget enough). You bought a quality rifle and top it...

I'm not a purest. The mix includes Leupold, Vortex, Zeiss, Nikon, Bushnell (Elite Series), and a Weaver T-36 (for range work). Lately I tend to purchase Leupold or Vortex.

There are so so many to pick from. 338-06 Ackley Improved 35 Whelen 6.5-06 Ackley Improved 30-06 280 7x57

Congratulations! You will now be working for the best boss ever.

I ended up purchasing new brass from Quality Cartridge @ $47 for 20 pieces. It seems to be good stuff.

I've got a couple of pounds of Magnum but have not worked up any loads with it. I guess my original plan was to try it in my 6.5-284 but never got to it. It looks it may also be worth trying in a number of others.

My choice is any rifle that you can load fast, feel comfortable shooting, holds zero well, and is in a caliber with a bullet that is adaquate for the game you plan to target. All of these are variable and subject to personal preference, as you can see from the responses you're receiving.

Guy, That rifle is too pretty to use!

Is that a custom stock on your Model 62? What I remember was that the stocks where much more plain. Regardless they are a cool rifle. If you buy it, please post a follow-up on how it shoots.

It isn't a "bean field" cartridge but I think I would have room for a rifle chambered in it. I can see this as a great cartridge in a lever action, High Wall, Rolling Block, Falling Block, T/C Pro-Hunter, etc. for mid-West whitetail and black bear. I'm wondering if JES will add it to his...

What is the feedback on taking game with these light Hammer bullets in a 257 Roberts or Ackley?

For years I've used a Hoppe's front rest with Protektor bags and it has been adaquate. That said, I'm not a bench rest competition shooter. The Aluminum Protektor front rest looks interesting with its longer legs to add stability. But I'm wondering that if the heavy base is a necessary option...

I can't comment on 4198 since I am another user of RL-7 with 300 gr bullets. Because I have 45-70s in both a Uberti High Wall and a Marlin 1895 I'm loading down to the High Wall level to avoid any possible ammo mix-up or problem. I've thought about loading up for the 1895 using a different...

I saw this on line. https://www.thespruce.com/repair-washing-machine-water-level-fill-switch-1824607

I will have to try the 7mm 150gr ABLRs. They may not offer anything more in my 7x57 but should be great in my 280 and 7mm Rem Mag. Wish they would offer a .257 120gr.

I shop blem and overruns when they're available. I've never been given a reason not to use them.

If you think Nosler is bad, try Speer! Some of their bullets have not been available for over two years. (e.g.: .257 120 grain SPBT). When asked when they are scheduled to make a run of them you don't even get a response.

Has anyone done much load development with StaBALL Match or StaBALL HD? I've not tried either of these.
