mwess1113, thanks. I had already ordered the Accubonds.when I started this thread. hunter24605, Gunbroker is hit-or-miss, but I'll check there as well. Fotis, I found some at Sportsman's Warehouse with free ship-to-store, and ordered more from Graf's (I don't know how I missed them) I don't...

If you know of an online source with availability, please send me the information via PM. I want to standardize my 6.5 Creedmoor on the 140gr. AccuBonds and BTs. Thank you, George

Happy hunting, Fotis! Stay warm, stay safe. George

.375 Wby. ammunition is available and affordable for anyone planning an African safari: https://ammoseek.com/ammo/375-weatherby-magnum George

After four African safaris, I'd say.300 Wby. and the .375 Wby. European game is just not that tough; a .30-06 is more than enough gun. Most of the game you'd hunt in Africa is in bush and savanna. Except for game like Kafue lechwe, mountain nyala, and ibex, most shots are under 200yds...

:Fotis, you left out the part where we doubled the weight of the truck driving over the gumbo! :lol: I'm still scraping it out of my boot treads. :oops: George

The barrel was held on with maple syrup (the Canadian Maple Leaf was a clue). :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: George

Ha-ha! I do, buddy! Let's smoke some cigars while we load some rounds this weekend. And mix some Tannerite! We'll be YouTube stars!!! Geroge

Nooooo! You have to be able to cook souvlaki while measuring powder. :lol: George

Where's the σούβλα? :lol: George

The main reason U.S.-made ammunition for the 6.5x55 is mild is that there are a LOT of M96 Mausers in circulation. They are not as strong as the Model 98 actions. Firearms here are not proof-tested like they are in Europe. Plus, we have a LOT of tort lawyers. George

Thanks. I am very familiar with Remington's propensity to orphan cartridges within five years and the .260 Remington is essentially moribund at this point The impetus for my post is the news that Ruger is offering an American 'Predator; with threaded muzzle. Of course, I need another caliber...

What makes it better than a .260 Remington in a bolt gun for hunting or target? George

Words I've never said. :lol: George

Ha-ha! That's how it always plays out for me, too. I want to sell guns but they shoot too well. :lol: George

Hmm. Anyway, what do you think of my recommendations? George P.S. 8 weeks from now.... :grin:

Didn't you have a Ruger American 22LR?? George

Fotis, Here's advice from a degenerate gun buyer. :twisted: I would dump the two Hornet rounds; not because they aren't good, but they don't do anything better than other rounds and I am not a fan of rimmed rounds in a bolt-action. Sell the 1-V; the 527 in .222 Rem. can fill that niche and...

¨Εχεις γερό θυμητικό! :lol: :lol: :lol: George

Winchester Custom Sporting Sharpshooter, built by H-S Precision for the Winchester Custom Shiop. I just looked at the load I used for the .22" group - IMR4350 - 72gr. ~3400fps. at sea level. If it ever cools down around here, I'll go chrono that load at ~2300ft. It should shoot really flat...
