Thanks. I have since fired the heavy one mentioned above. I’ve got a pile of 69gr benchrest bullets and H322. The first ten rounds just kept making the hole bigger.

I’ll use it for winter time deer harvest. Yes I say harvest, it isn’t hunting it’s more like shopping.

Really the only brass I’ve had that was pure junk from new was Hornady 300 H&H. They were all .025 short at the case head/shoulder datum (headspace) and as such the initial stretch caused them to separate on the second firing. Pity because the cartridge is getting hard to find brass for.

Yes, probably very similar to a Douglas #2. I’m going to start at 22 inches just because I like the proportions with that particular stock. I am hoping to end up 7# or less with a Leupold 2.5-8 which may or may not be realistic. I usually miss the mark by several lbs. haha.

Got the barrel this week which was the last piece of the puzzle. We had a little miscommunication but Hart Barrels totally took care of it. Can’t say enough good about those folks. I have decided to send the parts to a professional this time. It’ll be fun to see how it turns out. Sent to...

Had one in a Remington 700 Classic. Nicest shooting little rifle. It now lives with whoever stole it😡

That bison freezer filler would be on my list, as well as the continued deer hunt with the son. In fact I’d take him on the bison trip and watch him pull the trigger.

Hard to come by factory ammo. I have a box of Buffalo Bore but I am reluctant to shoot them.

Those long, beyond SAAMI factory throats are super frustrating. They do it for safety which is understandable from a product liability standpoint, and I guess a lot of bullets really don’t care about a huge jump. Personally it doesn’t suit my nature though. Hope your new one is a shooter.

No clue other than it wasn’t your day. I once took a gent fishing who had been shot off an ATV with a high powered rifle at some distance. The bullet entered his pelvis and by the Grace did not expand. No explanation other than God had other plans for him. Glad you’re here to tell the tale.

Most likely on their way somewhere from the big show Oshkosh. Great photo. Glad I don’t have to foot the bill at the gas pump.

It will never shoot right. You need to send it to me. Hahaha. Mine both like a stiff charge of Re22 and a 220gr Sierra RN. For a boutique bullet, the Barnes 175 LRX has been a winner.

I have a Henry .22 lever. It’s smoov!!!!😀. I’m a fan of the .357 in a lever. I have a Rossi R92 and I’ve done the Stevez Gunz treatment to it. You can add at least 300fps to any hot pistol load. Makes for a formidable short range deer rifle.

Left handed left footed left eyed. Right is basically there for balance. Haha.

Working. A lot. There’s so much to do and so few people who want to do it. It’s wide open for those who don’t mind getting a little dirty.

Excellent. Hope you get good use out of them.

My secretary will get those dies packaged up today and sent out.

I have had good luck with 2 6.5 barrels from X-Caliber. Those guys are on the top of their game when it comes to button rifled barrels. They frequently have 20-30% off sales. I would start at 26” and if it was too unruly it could always be cut off.

Neither of my sons ever finished less than second place. I don’t think there was a single car built by a kid in all the years we did it. Hahahaha.

If you get into the 264wm, I’ll send you a set of dies.
