Am I the only guy who has a few odd calibers that I want to own someday and when I see dies for it I'll buy them and they sit on my bench for often a long time before seeing use. Just waiting to buy or build the rifle for the dies. Presently, I have dies for: 17 rem, 243 AI, 8mm-06. Also, I...

The 240 gibbs doesn't have the cool factor a 6mm with that fat WSM case does, but 06 brass doesn't have the ouch factor that WSM brass does..... :? I wasn't aware that the 240 Gibbs went that fast. That would mean that a 115 DTAC should go around 3250FPS, exactly where I want it to go. With...

THe 240 Gibbs is a great round, as is the 240 wby and 243 AI. All needing a .473 boltface, and I've got is a 0.532". So, I need either a new bolt or to choose something with a .532 boltface if I want to get a second barrel for my savage. There are alot of good options, but the gaps to fill in my...

I think the 220 grn HRNDY would be cheaper, but am not sure that it would generate enough pressure to form with. I looked at them to form for my 375 ICL, but that is not nearly the thickness of brass you are working with. JT

Any range report yet??

That 264 shot around 4 inches @ 500 yds last time we stretched her legs a little. I know alot of guys wouldn't call that stretching a 6.5mm, but I'll take anything under MOA.

A 6.5 WSM would be a great little round, but the rifle already has a 264 barrel on it. I just got a barrel wrench and thought since I've got the rifle where I want it, I can play with a different caliber for only the cost of a pre-fitted barrel and dies. :grin: :grin: :grin: That 264...

If I were to go ahead with it, I would just get a prefit Pac Nor barrel for my savage. Dies are $120 from Graf's and if I go with the improved I'd be looking at a custom reamer and hs gauge for around $250 and also a $250 set of custom dies. Or I could just go with the 6mm-300WSM and settle for...

I've wanted a hot 6mm for along time and I finally got a Savage barrel wrench(not common here in Canada), so I am wondering what could I expect from a 6mm WSM?? I am of the mind I can get 3200 with a 105-107 grn match bullet and around 3050-3100 with a 115 grn DTAC, but am not sure that is worth...

The tarnish polished off with a rag easily, it was pretty bad. It looks great now. I really like how it looks, but am not sure I want to keep something I really should not shoot. IT was produced in my birth year and I live in the province it commemerates....... JT.

Well, the Winchester 94 Alberta Diamond Jubilee and finishing my basement, my gun budget is in recession. THe ADJ is pretty sweet tho, so I'll just enjoy that for awhile.

Hello, coriolis effect and ABC calculator. Sweet rig, that was my guess except in the Allen Mag incarnation. Anything based on the Cheytac is a monster, congrats on a nice build. Good work staying below the weight restriction for some of the stated that discourage hunting with BMG's. JT.

LOL I bet that would be a no smoking area....... Coal dust is just a bit volitile. JT.

Gaillard barrels are great, they shoot really well.

Super 30, lol the last stop before "one for the price of two" bullets and ammo. Had a couple bigger 30's and they were great. I want a 338, but the cost is alot more. JT.

I'm always looking for something interesting and a little bit unique as far as guns go. I don't have a domestic 1911, just a norinco commander in 45 and it's fine, but I'd sort of like to shop around for a 10mm in a Kimber or Colt Delta Elite. Anybody have a bit of experiance with one or both...

It seems that I don't sell anything that I have modified. The bone stock rifles seem to go down the road tho.

I have been big game hunting for 18 years, hunting grouse and the like for 20 years & reloading for 11. Over the past few years I have bought sold and traded alot of rifles. Some good, some bad and some that I wish I'd kept. If I added them up the number would be between 100 and 200. The lady...

DF, I only know of one rifle that uses that specific 350 grn bullet and it ain't a 338......

The reciever could use a polish, I'm not sure how a pewter finish polishes, the stock is gorgeous. I was thinking this would be a heck of a short range anything gun. I'll wait and see if one of my buddies here is wanting it for an investment. If I keep it, it most likely will see the field. JT
