    Remington 7600 Rifle

    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.

    35 Whelen VS 375 Ruger

    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...

    35 Whelen VS 375 Ruger

    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...

    35 Whelen VS 375 Ruger

    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...

    7x57ai mannlicher-schoenauer

    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.

    Hunting load for my Steyr SSG69 green machine

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

    Anyone used these out of a .22-250?

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

    Colt 1911 Goverment Model .45acp ?

    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.

    Tuning the .45

    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...

    .22-250 Pet loads

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

    Townsend Whelen’s Best Cartridges List

    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...

    RCBS X Die

    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...
