Great catch! I thought I had responded to this before, but apparently not. It is a beautiful rifle.

Very nice. Excellent craftmanship.

Congratulations on drawing a tag. Good luck.

Vince, I am pretty sure that Rodger's rifles are right-handed. Since I shoot left-handed, I would have noticed if Rodger had ever referred to his rifles as being left-handed.

Yum, yum. Now you have me thinking about driving to Maine.

I never had a problem other than having to clean out the carbon build up in the front of the .357 chamber from the shorter .38 specials. That is not a problem when cleaned. I have a friend who shoots a lot of different revolvers chambered in 357 Mag. and 44 Mag. He says he simply avoids the...

Looks great, Jim.

Mark, I have had similar experiences with carbon on the necks of annealed, reloaded brass but not on the necks of virgin brass. Unfortunately, I don't have any explanation for this phenomenon. So, you are not alone with this issue. I don't know when brass manufactures anneal their brass. Is...

Well done, Jim. That was quite the undertaking. I am sure you will enjoy the results. It must have been a huge task just to empty it out, and then to move everything back in again.

Sounds like a good outcome. Patience paid off.

Patrick, I look forward to seeing more photos like this. You are in the right area for seeing a lot of game.

That had to put a smile on your face.

I remember when Remington introduced that cartridge. I hope this one works out to your satisfaction. Look forward to seeing your results

Shooting at those distances amaze me. I was hoping you were going to say that those woodchucks came out as you were shooting at 1,500 yards and you guys popped them.

Good to know. Thanks for starting this thread.

Well done.

I am using the wet tumbling with the SS pins. This batch of brass was my first time using it. The brass that was wet tumbled with the SS pins definitely requires more force to seat the bullets than non-tumbled brass. I may change the order of my brass processing the next time. This time wet...

At this time I only have the Forster sizing and Forster micrometer seating dies. I may send the sizing die in to have the neck honed out so that it sizes the neck less, requiring less expansion.

I don't think there is a problem with the cases. The inside of the case mouths was chamfered both before and after tumbling. Three other types of bullets seat OK without denting the bullet. These bullets have very tapered boattails. There is a reason I got a call from Forster and a reason...

Those cases have been fired 3 times and annealed after both the second and the third firings.
