I agree with leaving it as is. Years from now the family heirloom value of the rifle will be untouchable, if it isn't already.

I've got the 2nd brass in several different calibers/cases. Now and then a mouth will be a tiny bit flattened, but that's the only problem I've identified. The blemishes I've been able to spot are cosmetic only.

There are a lot of great points about why there are two weights for the .25 caiber Partition quite close to each other. Generally, let the rifle decide which one is more accurate since either one is going to plow down deer or any other game animal it hits. If you don't want to get both, I would...

Somewhere in the 62 - 64 grain area with H-4350 and the 286 grain Hornady Interlock I had great accuracy in my 9.3x62. It was a slightly compressed load, but no pressure problems.

One revealing item in the story is that the change with temperature insensitive powder is not enough to make a huge difference inside of 400 yards. Ho hum, so the changes we thought we were experiencing aren't that bad. On the other hand, shooting in hotter temperatures with loads worked up in...

How you go about getting a good fit to the stock and the sights depends on sight or scope height, your neck length and thickness, the size of your face and your shooting position. 1. Ruger 77 Hawkeye 243 Win with a straight stock and med height rings fits nicely. Recoil is light and easily...

Rem large rifle primer, Win brass, 53.5gn of H-4832 and 115gn Ballistic Tips was a great load in my 25-06. The same bullet/primer/brass and 52gn of RL-19 was good also.

It would be the 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 24 - 26" heavy barrel and a beefy stock.

A 26" barrel on a 264 Win Mag is going to do the job just as well as with a 26 Nosler while burning less powder. There isn't a pronghorn or deer on the planet that will know the difference. Brass is cheaper with the Win, too.

44gn of W-748 in the 165 Hornady Spire Point Boat Tail and the 168 Sierra Match King were the best loads. Yes, play with the seating depth.

The first one counts the most. You're going to be fine with that load. Several years ago Melvin Forbes wrote any 140gn grain bullet from a .284 caliber bullet with a muzzle velocity 2,940fps is going to take just about any big game in North America. Up that to a 150gn bullet, especially your...

I watched a young hunter put down two Mule deer bucks with well placed shots from his trusty 243 WSSM. The first deer fell over like a tall tree. The second one took about six or seven steps with a hole in an upper chamber of the heart, then went to the dirt hotel. The 87gn Hornady Interlock...

Making the current 7 mag into a STW is a fine idea. The STW has the velocity to get out for anything and the power behind a large bullet (160-175gn) to take anything in North America. A retired teacher I know took a mulie doe at 625 yards with a 7STW he made.

That's some good shooting. Looks like you have a 300yd zero. Very nice.

Nice nice nice shootin' and your velocities were around 3500 - 3520?

Thanks for the QuickLoad info.

I'm getting a 6.5 Creedmoor and will be working up loads with 120gn TTSX, 129gn Interlock and 140gn Ballistic Tip bullets. I will gladly send you the data for whatever the most accurate loads turn out to be. I've read great things about the 120gn Hornady factory ammo for the Creedmoor.

Rem Jim and Partisan: I'm with you guys on the merits of a 257 Wby, which I have and really appreciate. The reported performance of the 26 Nosler is nothing new. A recent on-line article in Field & Stream stated the Nosler factory ammo and handloads produced a run-of-the-mill muzzle velocity of...

Curious as to why someone has purchased, ordered, or wants a 26 Nosler.

In my S2 Vanguard 257 Wby shooting the 100 grain TSX bullets I've made the cartridge length as long as possible and still feed from the magazine well. Call me lucky, but I never had to use another seating depth since the accuracy was nothing short of outstanding. I think you're on the right...
