    The phone just rang... one store just got a rifle in. He is $100 more than the other store but I will have it 4-5 months sooner. Hmmmm

    Henry 45-70

    I'm on the list and waiting for a phone call. JD338s list is very close to my list of reasons why I need a 45-70. I should buy a box of bullets, brass or dies first then I have to buy the rifle!!!

    Great info guys. I'm not worried about weight. I will be walking to my stand and sitting over small plots, water tanks or trails. Joec7651, I like the load you posted. Please keep posting on why I need to buy this one.

    Henry 45-70

    Since there is no other group on the internet who can spend a guy's money, like the guys on Nosler Forum, I figured I would bring my latest idea here to see what everyone thinks. I have not bought a new rifle in a while due to other wants and wishes but I have the bug real bad. I'm thinking...

    Buddy's 7-08??

    My friend bought a new Tikka 7-08 and I'm helping him get started in reloading. Today we took his Starline brass and prepped it up and loaded up 10 rounds. This is where I hit some confusion. He has 130 Hot Cors and IMR4350 for his loads. Speer manual says, 46.0 gr for a staring load and...

    1-1-2023 Lion!!!

    Thanks for all the kind words. I got the lion in western Colorado. The plan is to do a pedestal mount. I want to keep it simple and clean. Very little or no habitat.

    1-1-2023 Lion!!!

    I have always dreamed of hunting mountain lions out west. For this hunt I I used my great grandfather's 30-30 that has never hunted before. He won it in a bar and gave it to my uncle who doesn't hunt. Because of the history, I figured it would be cool to use. I will give a quick recap of my...

    Donor Rifles?

    I will start looking around town and talking to local guys. I tossed 308 out there for the bolt face. I really would like to put a 22 creed together.

    Donor Rifles?

    Quick question, where is the best place to find a donor rifle? I'm looking for a Rem 700 or Savage that I can rebarrel myself? I would really like a short action with a 308 bolt face. Any suggestions?

    6.5-06

    I finally got my 6.5-06 up and running this summer. The thing is a dream to shoot and it loves every bullet I have tired. 143 eldx, 130 AB, 140 Btip and the 129 interlock. I really like it and plan on keeping it for a looong time.

    22 Creedmoore??

    Hey guys. It has been stressful at work so to stop my brain from overload, I started thinking about fun stuff. In talking to Scotty, he mentioned a 22cm with a fast twist to shoot the heavy bullets. I'm wondering if anyone has messed with one? I have a lead on a Savage 110 action in 30-06...

    Henry Side Gate 45-70?

    The 38-55 is not an option right now because it is not made in Rice Lake, WI.

    Henry Side Gate 45-70?

    Thanks for the info. I talked to one of the quality control guys who shoots rifles every day at the factory. They don't make all the center fire rifles in Rice Lake. The only make the 30-30 and 45-70 for rifle rounds here I guess. I was really hoping they made the 38-55 here but for now it...
