    338-06 thoughts??

    If you're interested, I have a Savage 110 and a Mauser (rebarreled) in 338-06 that I'd sell.

    300 Weatherby Mark V Accumark New Barrel

    Did you ever do anything with this? I’ve improved mine by doing a full action bedding, and of course with hand loads. Of note, one of my 300s cut the groups in half when I started to use my new suppressor. It's now extremely accurate and would likely make your desired goal.

    Weatherby Vanguard Sporter

    I have two in 270, and several in other calibers. Dad has one in 270 as well. All 3 shoot very well with factory ammo if you want to use that. One of mine does VERY well with the 117 Hammer Hunter and is superb on deer and antelope. I will note that with a Vanguard I routinely tune the...

    1950’s vintage Savage 110 gunstock needed

    I have one that's not quite that old, but a (more) modern staggered-feed stock fit just fine on it. The post-2003 staggered feed ones won't. I don't believe based on what I have read or the ones I own that the design changed enough from 1958-2003 that any stock from that era won't fit.

    Lapping Scope Rings

    I've used Signature rings, but they seem to be difficult to obtain consistently. I’ve also occasionally had issues getting them fully snug. If you’ve used them then you probably know what I mean. In addition, I prefer to use them with a double dovetail system, and those too are not always easy...

    A Bad Omen?

    I have one of those as well, received in a similar manner. As my former FFL was also a police officer he really got a laugh out of it.

    Homemade Targets

    I use paper targets that I print, and then staple them to cardboard for a backing. When I get home, I mark the date, rifle, load, velocity, etc, punch them with a 3-ring punch, and put them in a notebook. That makes it easy to follow load development when you pick it up 3 years later. 😁

    Retumbo for a 338 Win Mag.

    RL-19 and the 338 Win Mag are meant for each other

    ok guys, big $hit going on

    I use my RCBS ChareMaster for initial throws (so to speak) then double check them on my Gempro250, which unfortunately is no longer available.

    Brass weight variance.

    It's been show many times that weighing brass really proves nothing and has no usefulness, especially for the same headstamp brass. As you found, only by checking the actual capacity can you get any useful information.

    bovine tuberculosis in deer

    That article is from 2018, and this isn't a new issue at all. There are a couple of counties in NE MI that have a special TB zone, and have for a long time. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2022/02/bovine-tb-testing-of-wild-deer-wraps-up-after-disease-found-at-michigan-cervid-farms.html...

    Slippery Stock

    You can add webbing using Krylon Marbelizing Spray, available at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. Be sure to practice with it first and see what spray pattern "your" nozzle has. Also, they spray best if held vertical, not tipped down. You do NOT need to sand it first, just be sure it is clean. I use...

    Vacation Part 2 Wbys

    Your 375 looks virtually identical to mine. Gloss action and barrel, green/black stock. My only gripe with the Bull Bag is that if you're not careful the V hugs the stock so well that you can torque the stock if you need to move the rifle "just a bit" to get on target. If it's not lined up...

    Rain gear or easy to dry clothes

    Cory Jacobsen did an elk hunt there, and Randy Newberg has done sitka blacktail hunts. Both have reviewed what gear did - and did not - work for them. I'd search out those videos and podcasts for some tips.

    Weatherby Ammo

    Correct. They have been since not long after their move to Wyoming.

    Timney 870 Rem trigger fix kit

    Any time I'm near a sear I use a buffing wheel on a Dremel with Flitz polish, and polish them up. Go slow and be careful, and you'll be fine.

    Timney 870 Rem trigger fix kit

    I bought a spring from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185516225954?hash=item2b31a0f5a2:g:D0sAAOSw131eWoSK I would suggest the 3# one, as the 2# in my 7400 is about 1.5 pounds.

    Variables in velocity in load development for 270WSM

    6.8 Western?

    Not Weatherby. "It was developed by Rick Jamison in 1997-1998 as proven in a 2005 lawsuit Jamison vs. Olin Corporation-Winchester division.[2] Jamison was given 7 patents on the cartridge design. U.S. Repeating Arms Company used the same concept and the same base case in creating its even...
