I do almost all my load workups during southern Arizona's very hot summers. Temps running as high as 110 degrees and higher. Many of my hunts during the last few years I hunted were well below freezing. One pet load with thr 30-06 uses W760 and the .280 Rem., .270 Win. and .300 Win, Mag use the...

Results for me with monometal bullets has ben excellent in one case, no pun intended, to dismal in five other rifles. he 100 and 120 gr. bullets in 25 caliber in my .257 Roberts and the 120 and 140 gr. 7MM bullets in three 7x57 rifles and a .280 Remington. I could decent velocity but I never got...

My pet load for the .300 Win. Mag. is the 200 gr. SpeerHot Core or 200 gr. Nosler Partition over a striff chargeof the now long discontinued Winchester Magnum Rifle (WMR) powder. Velocity from my rifle's 26" barrel runs about 2880 FPS and in very accurate in five different .300 WM rifle, four...

I have one and it did similar towhat yours did along with a grinding noise. I opened it up and applied some wheel bearing grease to the gears and that quieted it down quite a bit. Still runs good and it's better than 20 years old. Paul B.

Yes, but there is a reason for it being that way. As originally designed by H&H, the .300 H&H was meant to give 30-06 ballistics in hot places like Equatorial Africa and India. The cartridge was loaded with cordite which gave very high pressures in hot climates. It was Winchester who hotted the...

I'm tempted to say leave the 50 BMG at home the next time you hunt. Seriously though, I've had results like that on deer with the 30-06 and top loaded 150 gr. Sierra Pro-Hunters. Used them for years until I finally got wise and went to heavier weight bullets. I got similar results with 130 gr...

I load for the .357mag using my home case 158 gr. gas checked semi-wadcutters. (Lyman #335856) Powder of choice is Alliant 2400. I use 14.0 gr. mixed brass with Winchester small pistol primers. I believe some manuals consider that a max load. At one time the max load was 15.5 gr. of Hercules...

I just looked it up.Nice writeup. I noticed his was one when they were a limited edition. Brings to mind that that was probably the reason I snagged the second one as well. I have a list that has the serial numbers by year for the Ruger #1 but never did grab the one for the M77 I just might have...

I have like four rifles chambered to the .358 Win. Two Ruger M77s, an early Japanese made Browning BLR, the type that has the magazine hanging below the receiver and a Savage M99. Interesting thing about these rifles is Ruger went with the 1 in 16" twist while the Browning and Savage haave 1 in...

If I change pads on a rifle, the decelerator is the only way to fly. I have two rifles that came with Limbsavers that have turned to a disgusting goo. I won't ever consider one, even as a temporary fix. Paul B.

Welcome back. Paul B.

I think Rudolph is in serious trouble. Paul B.

My thought was load data for the 7x57 is kept low due to the older m93/95 Mausers still in use. The ABLR would probably increase the range for use in the weaker rifles. Might only be an extra 25 to maybe 50 yards but it would help. I was looking to pick up maybe as much as 100 yards as I was...

I saw what was happening in California back in 1968 when I left for good. As far as I can see it only got worse. Paul B.

On the original question by the OP, pick whichever one suits you best. I've used the .300 Win. Mag in a Walmart special Winchester M70 and used it to take an elk way out yonder. I also have four Ruger #1s all in .300 Win. mag. All are sub MOS with my pet load. Experience with the .300 WSM is...

First off, I'd like to address the comment that it's difficult to download the .300 Win. Mag to a lower level. The following is from an article by the late John Wooters on that very subject. Paul B. STAIRSTEP LOADING THE MAGNUMS From...

I guess it would depend on where one lives. First off, when I used to go to the range it was a 52 mile round trip. would try to get there by 7AM when they opened for business. I did most of my load work ups in the summer which meant that at around 7AM it was already 80 degrees or higher. I...

As you all know, the Mountain Lion is a protected species in California. About a year or so ago, a man who worked for California Fish and game went on a LEGAL Mountain Lion hunt in ANOTHER state was was successful. When California Fish & Game found out he was fired from his job. Must be one hell...

Looks like that bullet did what it was supposed to do. I haven't been quite so lucky. I thought the 150 gr. ABLR would be a perfect match for the 7x57 but so far, no such luck. I've tried that bullet in three different rifle chambered to the cartridge and also in a .280 Remington and I just...

I've only shot one animal with the Accubond bullet. I took a cow elk with my 30-06 and the 165 gr. AB over a load of W760 with velocity IIRC a little over 2800 FPS. Bullet hit in the ribs and on into the left lung destroying it. Never found an exit wound and never recovered the bullet. The elk...
