That is a name that keeps coming up. I do need to take a look.

Just searched gun broker and guns international. I thought folks were way over with ruger #1s. Holy cow the 35 Whelen is fetching a premium.

Yep, that looks just about perfect.

Excellent

Ok, I am going to use “rocking horse S***” next time I go to our local hardware store that never has what I need.

Well I retired a few years ago from guiding and haven’t seen him but once since then. If he can no longer buy factory ammo loaded with swift A frames my information is clearly dated. Yes, he had a few bad experiences with the mono bullets. He didn’t reject hunters who brought them he just didn’t...

He is a classic guide, Rifles are tools just like a framing hammer is to a carpenter. I’ve seen a box of double tap ammunition in his plane/225 grain swift Aframes. I”ve given up trying to get him to add rifle and ammunition to his bear stories and he struggles to do so. He hates it when people...

Good buddy of mine guides bears out on the Alaska Peninsula. His stopping rifle is a 35Whelen. his opinion it’s easier to shoot than the 375 or 338 and punches well above it’s weight class. He’s been guiding with it for 20 years, he may be on to something. The next rifle I build or buy above...

Welcome aboard. I’m one of several 7x57 fans here; however, mine is a ruger #1 so I’ll load her quite a bit hotter than you should I would think. I’ve had good luck with H4350, Rl 17 and R26. H4350 or IMR 4064 should work well for you. I am unfamiliar with 3100.

I too found Varget to be very agreeable with the 308. Used it in four different rifles with good success.

I've used 4064 and H380 but prefer varget out of my vintage #1

I have a couple of Galco holsters. They seem pretty good. The paddle is my least favorite but it gets the most use. It is very handy.

How are you doing with all the rain/flooding on the west side?

Well done Fotis, that is a heck of a collection.

Yep, that should work just fine. Love the 45, never found a reason to drift too far away. Carried 9mm and 40sw along with the 45 as duty weapons, always gravitated back to the 45. Guiding in Alaska I carried a 454 most of the time. Having been with in bayonet distance of brown bears many times...

I have good luck with Varget in my 22 250. I have a jug of H380, the Varget is better in my rifle.

I have enjoyed many cartridges over the years. Certainly my 06 would have covered all my needs except, perhaps Eland. The outfitter I used thought the 06 a little light for Eland and preferred 300’s + for them. I’ve learned a great deal over the last several years and would compile a somewhat...

Well done, wish we had some snow, hell we still got bugs that should have been froze out.

Wow, beautiful. Looking forward to the story you create honoring your uncle’s legacy.

I do mean Redding, not sure if it was an auto correct or lack of coffee. With the RCBS I was having to pull the stem, resize the body, with both the 257 Roberts and the 275 Rigby, pushing the shoulder back 2 thousands and then run the case through a neck sizing die. That worked but RCBS pissed...
