Yes, I've been watching for a 0.257 Low Drag bullet for sometime.
Have always had it in the back of my mind that a target rifle w/
Long heavy barrel fast twist
Left handed single shot receiver
Chambered in the old (1915) 250 Savage
Would be quite a force at the range and very unique.
Here's...
May need Admin help with attachments?
I would like to post a rifle for sale in classified.
If my attachments were allowed, Could I attach pics and post'em?
I think the 150gr Rem CoreLokts are just the bullet your looking for in a <200 yard "woods shot".
I've used them and so have many friends for this very reason.
At least you should try a box before you commit time and money reloading.
ShadeTree, hodgeman, I agree with you both!
I must be marketing:
Put a 6.5Cr in a lineup of 6.5x55, 260 Rem and the 6.5x284;
Which one would U pick for a target rifle?
Put the 6.5Cr next to a 270 Win;
Which one would U pick for a hunting rifle?
Me, I would not pick the 6.5Cr in either...
Re: Cold & Clean BBL first shot flyer
284allways,
I have a rifle that would shoot a Cold & Clean BBL first shot flyer.
Was able to fix it.
Wasn't the clean, Wasn't the cold - It was the lube I was using after the clean.
Switch lube and it went away.
I could probably get by with my 22LR and 30-06, But, I don't.
My favorite rifles are the 270 Winchesters.
My most accurate is the 308.
I like the way my 9.3x62 hits with authority.
Have a customized 458 Win Mag for a stopping rifle.
Have also built/customized various rifles, reloaded and...
458 Win Mag.
2 shots at 50 yds from sandbags:
1 was a 450 gr Barnes Solid,
Other was a 450 gr Swift -A.
Rifle is a Rem M798 with barrel shortened to 23":
Sizing the new cases and sizing the 1X cases with the same die,
Thus case capacity should be same?!
BUT, sometimes crazy things can happen reloading.
Try filling the sized new cases and the 1X sized cases with water.
Weigh cases to see if weight of water is different between the 2.
Don't ever stop looking for those matches!
"content" - Me. Oh No. Just good with rifles and cartridges.
Not content with the dogs.
Will get a 1YO male German shepherd next week.
Previous owner doesn't want him, So I'm taking him.
Hoping he'll be one of my new best friends.
Dougfir, I don't believe you have a problem with that ring.
But, If me, I'd cut one of the fired cases in two.
Cut right down the centerline mouth to case head.
I would look/check for case thickness in the area of the ring.
Just checked my favorite reloading supply.
They have 338 Lapua and 338 Norma brass in stock.
Out of 338 RUM.
Is the Rem Ultra Mag more popular than the 1st 2 ?
