The different color primers strikes me as odd. Too, apparently possibly several different lots of ammo as well. Each one of those different lots could be using the same powder but different lots of that powder. Could even be a different powder altogether. Also brass is probably from different...

I think he just did just before trump was sworn in. Paul B.

I got poor accuracy from that bullet. that was a surprise I didn't expect. Paul B.

I won't say the urge to buy another gun doesn't happen and lately it's been quite insistent. However, I believe that at my age I should be divesting myself of a goodly portion of what I do have. I just can't seem to get started doing this evil deed. It's like kicking m kids out into the cold...

I do pretty much the same as WvBuckbuster with the exception of sighting in 3" high at 100 yards. I can usually hold on hair out to 250 to 275 yards on the average size deer and holding with a bit of daylight between an elk's back made it an easy shot on my longest shot ever; 530 yards on a cow...

I've been in my home since 1979 and have never filed a claim. I have storm damage on my roof and I'm sweating what results I might get from my insurance company. I haven't seen the new price yet but my car/truck insurance just took a healthy jump up. Paul B.

Probably won't be much help but with my first .243, while I never shot a deer with the rifle, four of my neighbor kids did use my rifle for their first deer hunt and all got their animal. Bullet used was the 100 gr. Hornday SPFB over IIRC, H4350. I gave that rifle to the son of a friend for his...

Can anyone explain how Soros escaped being tried during the Nuremberg trials? He should have been dancing on the end of a rope along with the rest of the war criminals. Paul B.

When it comes to RL15 and RL17, I tink I would pay the price for a couple of the 5 pound cannisters of each powder. RL15 if fantastic in my .35 Whelen and is very good in the .308. I think that's what Federal uses in their .308 match ammo. RL17 makes my 7x57 a screamer surpassing the the .280...

No problem. These days some consider Elmer's load too hot for any gun, even the well overweight Redhawks. I had a 6" 629 for a while and after about 250 rounds of Elmer's load it had to go back for repair. Then after 200 more rounds back again it went. When I got it back? It went. I generally...

Take a look some time at the .318 Westley Richards cartridge. For all practical purposes it just a .338-08 with IIRC .333" bullet rather than .338". Even the brass looks like it may have started out as a 30-06. If you can find a copy of AFRICAN RIFLES and CARTRIDGES by John Taylor, it seems...

I have a mold for a 300 gr. semi-wadcutter but haven't been able to get it to shoot near point of am. Most loads I've trie shoot about 6" high at 25 yards. What I need to do is put a taller front sight on one of my .44 mags so the POI is at least closer to what I want. My mold for Elmer Keith's...

You sure you had enough gun for that critter???? Paul B.

IIRC, Elmer's load was 22.0 gr. of H2400. I'm not sure if he dropped a grain when it became A2400 but 22.0 gr. either 2400 and the 240 gr. Keith bullet always worked well in any of my .44 magnums. What is little known about Keith is he had three loads for the .44 mag. There was is famous (?)...

My dies are RCBS and are marked .375x338. IIRC. I'll have to get out to the shed to confirm though. I'll have to look and see if I have a once fired case or does it make any difference. Paul B.

The only Savage 99 I have is in .358 Win. and just too pretty to hunt. I did run a few factory rounds and handloads through it and groups averaged right about an inch as I recall. King of a funny deal. I did an elk hunt near the Olympic National Forest in Washington state and while sitting on a...

I did one Hicks on a custom Number One I bought. Purtiest little #1 you ever saw. A 20 barrel in .223 Rem. off a Rem. M7, custom wood with 28 lines to the inch checkering, Custom steel buttplate and grip cap and carried like a dream. Only problem was pretty does not make it shoot good. I...

I have the standard Ruger Blackhawk Bisley in .45 Colt. Only difference is mine is blued and no flutes on the cylinder. I don't think there is all that much difference in weight. I know one thing. Mine is a shooter. It almost makes me look good. They're hell for stout, that's for sure. I don't...

I have one just like the one in the photo. I just might be talked out of it. I can't do much hunting anymore due to a bad wreck so am thinking of liquidating most of what I have. Besides, I have four rifles in .358 and they've been safe queens ever since I got a .35 Whelen. Paul B.

The only .375s I play with are H&H and .375 Taylor. Taylor brass is easy to make. Just run then through a .375/338 Win. Mag die, load and shoot. I use .458 Win. Mag. as I get less case loss with them. They shoot just fine as is and no better after fire forming. (.375 Taylor, also .375 Chatfield...
