I just started looking at Oregon and Utah interesting, SalmonChaser I take by your handle that's one of your past times ? we own a charter fishing service here in the great Lakes, salmon use to be our bread and butter fish..
Lots of great info guys, keep it coming!!!!. I have killed one Michigan bear, years ago over bait , had ample opportunity over the years to shoot more, but nothing big enough, something besides " a Black " one would be interesting. From the research I've been doing it does seem this will be...
I sent them a inquire about a 100 AB, a little while ago, even got a reply after about a week, nothing in the works for a 100 grain AB.. and that's about where they left it, wouldn't hurt to drop them a line..
First and for most I have absolutely nothing in the works but have been thinking very heavy on this issue. We will more then likely be spending a fair amount of time in the Tahoe/Reno area after my wife retires (1 1/2 years away) our youngest lives out there, and Nevada looks like its a pretty...
I don't really know what's up with the BT and deer, I've shot 1/2 a doz whitetails with the 140 BT out of the 7 mag, never a blood trail, and that's putting lung tissue in the balsems behind them, 50 t0 60 yd they run, with a baseball size exit holes. Frontal shots, same thing only no exit and...
If you decide to re barrel, do a little checking, most smiths seem to charge from $200 and up all depends what you want done to the action, I have a little over $600 into my Remington total price, I did by a top shelf barrel tho, a stainless Bartlien 5R in 25 caliber, #3 counter. This was a...
I would have to think that getting a 300 bee rechambered to another .308 caliber (Norma,H&H) your defeating the purpose, the Weatherby is a pretty big case, to rechamber you'd have to go even bigger. :shock: ,,,, in a re barrel I do be leave that with the bolt face you have you could drop down...
I'm with Truck driver on the reloading, biggest problem for me anymore is having enough magnification in the scope to see and hold the same spot anymore :shock:
I'm using a very inexpensive Cabelas Pine Ridge, that's a 6 to 18 power.
For the most part things are looking pretty darn good for this powder, hard to say for sure since this is a brand new barrel but I'm impressed so far, 200 yards less the a inch with a max load of 61 grains of the stuff ( Hodgdson Data) with no pressure signs, and if things are running with the...
Something I've been using is powdered graphite lubricant for locks, put some shotgun shell BB's (Anything smaller than 7 1/2) put some of the powdered graphite in with it give it a shake from time to time . just dip the case necks into the BB's.. I want to say this idea came from Larry Willis...
I could never get Reloader 22 to shoot in my 25-06, never tried 4350, the old barrel loved 54gr of IMR 4831, stiff load yes, but that old barrel like HOT !!, if this bloody weather will ever stabilize, (At least stay above 0 for more than a day) i'd like to get the new bartlein broke in..I have...
Has anyone played around at all this the new powder with the 25-06 or 7mm Remington Mag ?
About the only loading data I can find for it is on the Hodgdon reloading page, and it shows a pretty good bump in speed with a 100gr bullet for the 25-06 over the IMR 4831 (which is my go to powder in my...
Thanks for all the info fellas, Filmjunkie4ever, the shoulder of a 280 Rem sit farther forward than the 30-06 case based cartridges, far enough to the point you can cut the chamber of a break action gun (TC Encore) that is chambered in a standard 25-06 to the 25-280 Ackley improved.. where is...
Yep they do, I have a little over 100pc of 25-06 win/Remington cases right now, I'm going to play this resizing 30-06 down to 25 out for awhile.. I've never used hornady or priv brass, and if I'm going to pay the money for norma might as well buy the Lapua, not many people have anything bad to...
I've owned a few, never had a problem with there warranty work (what little They've have done for me) for the money very hard to beat.... Looking at a c4 now
Not wanting to Hijack Guybo's thread being new here and all, and this being just a bit off from his anyway, figured I'd start my own. With 25-06 brass getting harder to find, I figured I'd start making my own from 30-06, and since I was going to do this, I've been looking at the "Top Shelf"...
