    257 Weatherby and 25-06: Opinions wanted

    Any money you save on the rifle will be spent on brass for the Weatherby.

    The BEST recoil pad???????

    The best are these Gooey Pads from Trapdude.com I shoot a lot of Trap and at big shoots I see a lot of them. I personally have a Soft Touch stock on my Beretta DT10 and they are also quite popular but obviously not what you want on that gun.

    QL request 300 Win Mag

    I have a 5lb jug of RL22 so I should be able to get some decent testing in with that. :)

    QL request 300 Win Mag

    I'm pondering the probabilities of RL 17, 22, 23 & Retumbo. I've got Nosler 190 Custom Competitions, FC Military brass, Fed 215s. I don't have the OAL yet but somewhere around 3.34 seems likely. The Retumbo load is for a friend and he will be using Hornady 208 grain ELDM. If somebody could run...

    Midway USA

    I've never had an issue with them, good to hear they are making it right though.

    280, 7x57, or 7mm-08????

    7x57 is the perfect choice in an A.

    Ruger No. 1, .338 Winchester Magnum

    A 338 Win Mag should be an S. The only concern would be salt wood. Look for pitting where the wood contacts metal.

    300 Win Mag dies

    I would love to use the GM215M primers, but they are vaporware. I have GM210M and 215s. My stash of CCI BR2s is reserved for my 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm pretty confident this will be an accurate rifle.

    300 Win Mag dies

    I'm going to be using the 190 grain Custom Competition and I have jugs of RL17 and RL22. I'll be using FC Mil brass and Fed 215 primers. It'll be a little bit because once I get the gun it is off to have the muzzle threaded. Optic will probably be a Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 8.5-25 TMR.

    300 Win Mag dies

    I'm picking up a new rifle in the next couple days. Its a Rem 700 Long Range in 300 Win Mag. I'm shopping for dies right now. I'm looking at the Redding Premium 3 die set with full length sizer, neck sizer, & micrometer seater. The sizers also have a carbide button. They seem like a pretty well...

    New Ruger #1A

    Cabela's had a whole stack of No. 1s at special pricing. I think they were like $995, those A 280s were in there.

    .280 bullet for mule deer

    My .280 shows a strong preference for the 150 E Tip, but I wouldn't hesitate to use the 140 AB/BT either. I've killed a lot of critters with the 115 grain BT from my 25/06 so I have no qualms about the 280 doing the job.

    7mm-08 140 Grain Accubond Load Development

    I had such a good result with Ramshot Big Game that I stopped there. I have a Ruger Hawkeye in 7/08 and those 140 ABs and BTs shoot very well in it.

    Ruger American ...now in magnum cartridges

    And they have threaded barrels! I'll be torture testing one in 300 Win Mag with my suppressor.

    New to us Rem 700 SPS in 25 Whelen

    I really enjoyed using the Barnes 90 grain solids in my 25/06 but now that I can't get them I use the 85 grain BT. IMR 4350 is a go-to powder for the 25/06, with a nod toward RL22 for 115 grain bullets.

    Shooting steel.

    I have 1/4" in the pistol bays, nothing makes a mark on them. 1/2" from 100-300 yards, nothing makes a mark on them either. 3/8" for the game animals @ 300-600, nothing hurts them either. I believe it is all Hardox 600. They charged me $400-$500 for the sheets and cutting.

    Shooting steel.

    My local steel recycler has a CNC Plasma cutter and they made targets from my designs out of Hardox.

    New Wolf Load!!!

    I wouldn't even remotely worry about that 75 grain V Max doing the job.

    Acquired some treasures

    Nice score, I picked up a treasure trove a few years ago that was about 40 boxes of bullets. Many of them were sealed and I remember some of the Sierra bullets had a Whittier CA address on them. I never really looked into how old they were. I see that Santa Fe Springs and Whittier are part of...
