That sucks big time. Hoping you heal quickly. Paul B.

You might be more right than you think. Unless there has been a change since I read the article, many top line scopes either use Japanese optical glass for their scopes or buy the sand used to make the glass for their scopes. It seems that there is something about that sand that makes glass made...

I agree with what JD338 said. My normal elk rifle is a .35 Whelen running 225 gr. TSX bullets. I always bring a spare rifle just in cast something goes wrong with my primary rifle. ch was the casr a few years ago and ghe back up rifle was a Mauser custom in 30-06 running 165 gr. Nosler accubobs...

My best guess is Dominion out of Canada. I remember ads back in the 60's showing bllet with a plastic type tip. Paul B.

Back around 1967 when I lived in San Francisco, my next door neighbor was a black man who raised hunting dogs. he had Plotts and a couple of Redbones as I recall and he was breeding them for sale. He had a hog hunt set up and as I was doing some freelance photography back then agreed to tag...

"Never owned one of my own, never hunted with one, never understood why people thought it just as good as an 06. With 150s it is close, with 180s it’s as far behind the 06 as an 06 is behind a 300 HH." I'm not quite sure I can agree with you on that. Granted this was a somewhat limited test but...

We can start with the anti-gun crowd. I read not too long ago the one state does not allow hunting with a suppressor on state land. They can only be used on priave ground with the owners written permission. The feds have already stated the could outlaw hunting on federally own land, wich they...

The edges of the primers even at your top loads are still nice and round. like others have said, I go with the thought that it's caused by a large firing pin hole in the face of the bolt. Interesting as I have a Remington M700 BDL with a normal size firing pin hole that will craters primers...

I have one and used the 4350 data from P.O. Ackley's book. Rifle is a tang safety Ruger M77 with 22" barrel. It's in a Ramline stock at present and total weight loaded with scope and sling is bout 7.5 pounds. I've named it, "The Hammer" because it hits like a hammer at both ends. Paul B.

I hear where you're coming from. Many long tears ago I used the hunt the Northwest corner of California which is some very thick rain forest. One thing tried which worked reasonably well was load 170 gr. 30-30 bullets n my 30-06. They usually dropped deer on the spot loaded to about 2450 FPS...

My experience with Nosler bullets is very very thin. One deer with a 180 gr. protected point that I considered a failure. One deer with a 140 gr. 7MM Ballistic tip that was lost and one elk with a 30 caliber 165 gr. Accubond in 30-06. None of the bullets were recovered. The 180 gr. load was...

My first one had that very nice deep bluing job that S&W used on their handguns. That's what my first one had. The one I have now has been refinished in something that looks like parkerizing or something similar. No matter as it's not for sale and even the likes of Bill Gates and friends could...

I don't think making .35 Whelen brass from .270 brass will be that big a problem. FWIW, Using 30-06 brass to do the same actually gives tou a cartidge that's slightly shorter than .35 Whelen specs but does no harm If you want a cartridge conversion problem try taking 7MM Rem. mag. brass and...

One of the most accurate handguns I own is an S&W 38/44 Outdoorsman. It's a replacement for one I stupidly sold many years ago that I used to kill a Black Bear that decided chomping on a young lady was his dinner for the day. I don't remember the load but it was a stiff charge of H2400 and the...

My apolgies as my previous post was a little vague. The bullet I was asking about was the 7MM round nose for use in the 7MM Mauser. Seems to me just about all the bullet makers have dropped their round nose bullet. I'd like to find some of the Hornady 100 gr. 25 caliber bullets to try in my...

I have the 660 in .308 but the factory stock was long gone early on. I have restocked mannlicher sytle and sometime around 1981/2 H S Preciscion came out with a very lightweight stock for the Remington M7. Their plant was up in Prescott Arizona but they moved elsewhere and Ruger owns than plant...

I'm not surprised. One of the guys I used to shoot with was an officer in the Border patrol. He knew i shot .308 so he gifted me 1,100 rounds of once fired Federal GM .308 brass. When I loaded some, the primer pockets were too loose to be safe for reloading purpose or shooting. All I can say is...

I tried the 150 gr. ABLR in three 7x57s and a .280 Rem. I go the speed but not the accuracy. I thought they just might be close to perfection in the 7x57 as I easly got 2800 FPS plus with RL17. Average groups were in the 3.5" range for the bolt actions and a bit over 4" in the Ruger #1. I'd have...

I bought a couple of boxes of Hornady .358 bullets quite a few years ago. As I was thinking Black Bear and elk for a .358 Winchester in an area that was thick, think Olympic Penninsula, went with the 250 gr. round nose. Bth boxes had the same lot number and the noses on those bullets were so...

My .270s like the Sierra 150 gr. Game King. My rifles all but one have 24" barrels except the Ruger #A which is 22" The bullet has proven accurate with H4831 which I no longer use only because I have a more than lifetime supply of Winchester's WMR powder that they dropped probably 20 years ago...
