Happy Fourth of July. Have fun everyone and be safe. Paul B.

I'm not holding my breath but I hope you're right. Paul B.

That what I heard as well. The sandbagged us again. Some elected BUREAUCRAT woman call the parlimentarian who go the job in 2012 through Harry Reid, stated that the way the law was written violated the Constitution. She's also blocked most if not all the tax cuts in the BBB. Paul B. Google...

"The trick for me is getting 160g of anything leaving at 3000ft/sec." You didn't mention what cartridge you were shooting. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the 7-08 at the beginning of your post. I do have a 7MM Rem. Mag. but I haven't done any load work with that cartridge. I think 3000 FPS is...

I discussed this a long time ago with a doctor; the subject being why do deer sometimes run like crazy after a perfect heat shot the demolishes the organ.The conclusion was this. The animal's heart has just punped a fresh supply of oxygen rich blood to the brain and rest of the deer's body. The...

I have a few lever actions and most are Winchesters based on the M94. All are chambered to the 30-30 except one Pre-64 M94 carbine in .32 Win. Spl. and another that may or may not be a Winchester short rifle. I'm thinking not but it'ss my only 25-35. Of the 30-30s, two are M94 carbines, one...

I've tried the 150 gr. ABLR in three 7x57 rifles and one .280 Rem. So far, at least for me accuracy has been disappointing The 7x57s have run from 1.5" to 1 80" and the .280 averaged about 1.50" For the record all three 7x57s have run at .75" or less with the 150 gr. Partition and the .280 runs...

You never know just what a deer will do when shot. Me? I hope for a drop on the spot but more times that not there's been a roughly 30 foot to 100 yard run. First deer I've ever shot with anything was with an old 30-30 at maybe 20 feet. There is a story that goes with that shot taken back in...

At one time I did much of my hunting with single shot rifles. Most were Ruger #1s in various configurations and chambered to various cartridges. I got lucky one day when I saw a Ruger #1H in .375 H&H in the paper for a ridiculously low price. It seems the fellow selling it didn't much care for...

I've shot .38 Spl. in my .357 Mags for years and never had a problem. But, I do clean the gun as soon as I get back home. I do the same with .44 Spl. ammo in my .44 mags. Currently don't bother running the .44 Spl. in the mag anymore now that I have a sweet S&W 624.

"I originally was loading Sierra Gameking 117gr. bullets. I have since tried Speer HPBT 100gr. Better velocity, no consistency though." I do have a 25-06 but I haven't done much loading for it. Just enough to insure it went "bang" and the bullets hit close to point of aim. IIRC, the bullets I...

You might be able to as I think it's just tack welded in place. I know you have to replace the ejector and maybe something else but I forget what. I called the parts places and they always seem to be out of stock on those particular parts. Must be a lot of people doing that conversion. The...

I can just see major developers foaming at the mouth hoping some of that land becomes available so they can hopefully get it cheap and build more tacky houses and get richer. My dislike for developers goes a long, long way back when a certain developer sued to get the only shooting range...

I have two Winchester M70 Featherweights, one a .257 Roberts and the other is a 7x57. Both rifles are using the long action with blocks in the magazine to accommodate the cartridge length. The magazine for the 7x57 has not been a problem regarding cartridge lenght as load with different weight...

I've bought bullets in bulk many times and although they may not have the greatest design so popular today, they're still fun to shoot and more important, they still kill game quite nicely. The last big purcase of bullets I did was at a gun show about seven or eight years ago. I was setting up...

I have been known to pull a shot now and then. It just means most of the time I have to run another three rounder the next time out. Worst one that just about made me sit down and cry was a ten rounder from my Kimber M84 in .223 Rem. I thought I'd try the old NRA test of shooting a ten round...

I do all my preliminary load work ups shooting three rounds. Later final testing may also be three round groups or depending on the cartridge five round groups. My pet load for the .280 Rem. is the 160 gr. Speer Grand Slam (older two core version. I haven't tried the newer version yet.) at 2910...

For years I hunted deer almost exclusively with the 30-06 and 150 gr. bullets, usually the Sierra ProHunters. one day while talking with a hunting buddy I said something about how well the 150 gr. bullet killed deer bull mangled a lot of good eating meat. My buddy suggested going with the 180...

.300 Win.Mag., .375 Taylor and .375 H&H. Paul B.

"I see loads for the BLR but I believe that might be a tad stronger action than the 99. I am sure the bolt gun loads would be to much." I believe the .358 is loaded to the same pressure level as the .243 and .308 so bolt rifle loads shouldn't be all that big a problem. The 99 is a pretty stout...
