In this country where I live it takes full 4 years to become a gunsmith. You start as a student at tech-school for 20 weeks and then have to find a gunsmith where you can serve the rest of the 3½ year period as an apprentice...only interupted with 3x10week schooltraining with more advanced...

Yes the.458Lott is a big cartridge...

No chance either to PM. Only quick reply Works apparently.

Something must be wrong..??. There is no "Reply" or "Edit reply" Cannot post Pictures either?.

Where is the Picture?. This it was I see:

Thanks!. Went to the range today and fired dat thing... My load consisted of 68grain Norma 201(equivalent to IMR 3031) and 490grain leadbullets. Primer was Fed 215. Filler was toilet tissues. The two shots I fired was hangfires..very very unpleasent..pssst...booom. I will never get use to...

The moment of truth. As mentioned the rifle got a new scope. I had "drysighted" the scope by center the barrel to the crosshair on a fixed point in order not to use too many shots just to get-on-paper. Here is two shots fired ofhand a 50m just as a checker to see if I was near anything...

There is an obvious reason why blackpowder shooters use Winchester brass. Bigger fueltank :mrgreen:

The rifle is a transitional rifle from 1947. I had a new Lilja barrel installed as the old .270Win barrel was beated up. Lilja can duplicate the original factory contour. Barrel is 27" slim & trim.

B it is :grin: Unconditionally my best all-round huntingrifle. I have nicknamed it "THE" rifle. It come above everything else in the gunsafe.

Heading for the range tomorrow. It will become interesting to see if the doublerifle will shoot in all four World corners.. :mrgreen:

New scope on THE rifle..A Conquest 3,5-10x44. Much more well balanced than my former 6,5-20x50 with open target turrets. Heading for the range tomorrow to try ABLR for the upcomming trip to Africa.. :grin:

When I was a teenboy in early 80s I read Shooters Bible and Gun Digests I found in our public library here in Denmark. I think it was the Shooters Bible they had cartridge line-ups in the rear of the book from Remington-Peters. I didn´t understood all too much of the english/American Words...but...

Looking at GI one can really tell the MK V Weatherby in.240Bee is a rare duck in the pond. Only 1 for the moment out of 437 guns is found...and that is with a 24"barrel.

Skip the middlemen(.300 & .338RUM) and go for the .375RUM and 7mmRUM.

Many things can be done when one wants to prove a point. Can an eland be shot and killed ethicly with a 150grain Silver BT .308"?. Sure, but if other heavier bullets were available it would be a little wiser I would say. A 200grain at moderat 2500 ft/sec which translate into .308Win territory...

Tack driving precision is always of interest. Great rifle set-up!.

I use 73grain MRP to a 150grain Nosler Par in my .270WB. That gives me aprox 3280 ft/sec from a 27" barrel. I have never been able to obtain good accuracy by setting the bullet 1000th of an inch from the lands(85mm). My best accuracy is when keeping close to the original OAL(83mm) and let the...

MRP powder does magic in Weatherby calibers...but apparently also in others too. I believe the above mentioned charges is what I have used in my .240Bee with similar bullet.
