Nicely done! Glad to see the 6.5x55 living on. I've been watching for a Winchester model 70 featherweight to come a long in 6.5x55, but if I can't find one, a Tikka might be my answer.

The 25-20 that I owned was a Remington model 25 pump. It on the list of one of those rifles that I wish I had never sold.

I'm usually up by 5:30, and I hate DST!

Forty-five years ago the 25-20 was a favorite among a small group of five of us for hunting snowshoe hare with beagles. That was before they reintroduced wolves into this part of Wisconsin. Now you can't find a snowshoe in this part of the state. Growing up small game hunting like this was very...

Lol...I'm sure someone else has built something similar at some point. It would make me happy if someone thought it was useful enough them to copy. But like I said before, I would change it to only use three points of adjustment for leveling the jig. Once the jig is level, a small bubble level...

Yes I did, it was very simple to put together and the parts were readily available.

I've got a set of these wedges that I use when mounting scopes on my #1s and they do work. When using Weaver or Picatinny rings I opt to level the the scope off the the rifle using this jig. It works great, but someday I will rebuild it and use a single leveling point on the front. At the time...

I have both size grip-rite pullers but they don't work for me! I guess my grip strength isn't enough for what's needed. When I said I used lineman's pliers it was in conjunction with my press so you did not distort the necks on the brass.

I have one. The only downside of it is that it doesn't work with my Co-Ax press. When I need to pull I use an older RCBS press. Prior to buying a puller it was a pair of lineman pliers, but they destroyed the bullets.

If I were building multiple rifles or planning to re-barrel to the same cartridge I would buy a reamer and I assume it is possible to re-grind, but don't know at what cost. For me, it has been more economical to rent them from companies like 4D. So far, in renting I've not received a reamer that...

I'm using CH dies to load for my son's 6.5-06 Ackley Improved (40* shoulder). I first used their dies when the company was located in Owen, Wisconsin and have been very happy with the quality of their dies. When he built this rifle CH was the only die maker that had them in stock and they were...

Whichever scope you choose I would recommend that you use Ruger extension rings to get addition flexibility with setback. I'm using them on all of my Ruger #1s

I'm using the Brownells/Sinclair version of the headspace comparators, but they work the same as the Hornady.

I've not used it, but interesting! I will follow any feedback you get. Good luck on solving the problem.

I don't think you will see Hornady offering the WSM or Winchester the PRC, since they are not going to kill their own products. Federal and Remington are offering ammunition in both for now.

I have a soft spot for model 70 feathweights, but already own two .280s. What you have is just about the perfect set up!

Thanks for sharing! I had not heard of this one before.

My carry gun is a Kimber Ultra Carry II in .45ACP, with hardball ammo. It is a dream to shoot. I have thought about loading some cast SWC for it, but it shoots so well with hardball. I hate to hear plastic parts in any 1911 or one of its clones.

Yes, I think the Athlon is the one I was thinking of, and mistakenly thought it was Caldwell. some day I would love to see side-by-side comparisons of the Garmin, Caldwell and Athlon.

Has anyone actually see or laid their hands on one of the new Caldwell Chronographs? I had heard or read that it was going to be in the 300-400 dollar range, but their web site lists it at $549. That would put it in the same price range as the Garmin. If anyone has used one, can you please post...
