My wife Emma shoots a Weatherby Vanguard youth model 7mm-08! And she is Little Annie Oakley with that rifle. I have never loaded her with anything but 140 grain PSPCLs or Sierra Gamekings on top of IMR 4350. I cannot remember the exact charge but its not max. Recoil is nil and report is mild...

That IS awesome!!

I love shooting my Model 39 with a Williams receiver peep sight. My wife wears glasses and really struggles with irons of any kind. I bought a Leupold 4x rimfire and mounted it on a weaver one piece base with weaver 1” rings but the setup seems kinda bulky. I don’t necessarily need more...

Sold.

Awesome story Guy! A doe hunt to me is one of the most fun hunts one can engage in. Lots of opportunities, very little pressure from other hunters, and the trophy is delicious meat. I enjoy the Marines/Navy rivalry. Although I did not serve I was raised around all kinds of men who did. Doc...

There is definitely some cast off, but it seems slight to me, not drastic. Not sure how to gauge it though.

I went with the Stoeger Uplander. A SxS 20 gauge with interchangeable choke tubes. The safety engages every time the breech is closed, endearing to me for the prospect of my kids using it someday soon. Shot a few clays, it seems to shoot to poa with both barrels. Single trigger model always...

Last year was not the best year of my life. Sickness, loss of friends and family, economic struggles and many more rain clouds seemed to pour on me and my family. There were a couple of windfalls however, our little girl was born healthy in May, I got a lot of remodeling done on the house, and...

It depends. If it’s something that gets a lot of action, I may keep several hundred cases and loaded rounds on hand. The .22-250, .30-06, and .357 Magnum for example. I don’t load .22 LR or 20 gauge shotgun but keep lots of ammo around for them. If it’s an oldie that I love to shoot but don’t...

Maybe your throat is just a bit short and the cases are a bit long?

Re: Powders I could easily get by with Varget, IMR4350 and H4831(sc) in rifles, and Ramshot Enforcer and Silhouette in handguns. I do use many others but those three have my bases covered.

Ramshot Enforcer is basically the same thing as 2400. I use it in my .25-20 and .357 Magnums. Very accurate and shoots cleaner than 2400 ever did. Plus since it’s Ramshot, it goes for like $25-30 a pound instead of $65-70 like everything else is these days.

This would be the deciding factor for me too.

If you ever think of selling the Classic Stainless, drop me a line. 😃

I’ve been around .338 Win Mags all my life, have shot lots of them, but have yet to have taken game with one. Shot a .338 RUM right after they came out. Impressive. Have loaded .340 Weatherby Mag for a friend who doesn’t like paying over $100 a box for factory stuff. The only game animal I...

I had never heard of it before yesterday. Looks kinda like the Gibbs cases, blown out length, minimal neck. It must be something like that to be able to fire a .338-06 in the chamber.

I have a very classic taste in guns and cartridges too!

Anyone ever heard of the .338 Engels?
