6.5-284 Norma vs 6.5 Swede
^ Yep. I have liked some Savages they're great shooting rifles, but comparing a Savage to a Sako? I've lusted after a Sako since I was a kid; ain't nobody lusting after a Savage. Love the Swede too; 6.5-284 Norma is cool, but Swede is old school cool. 150 GPS doesn't mean jack IMHO. Sako... -

6.5-280 AI
I am thinking hard on using the 03-A3 action I bought from David here for this. I have a 24.5" 1-in-9" twisted tube already threaded for 03 & short-chambered 6.5-06. Gerry did you do this? I'd like to know if it's worth having to smooth up feeding over the drop-in fit of an 06. Thanks guys! -

Really disappointed
Yep. Sounds like a great reason to pop some caps need some brass to get flowin! Ain't a single bad reason to get out and pop caps IMHO ;) ! Honestly I haven't cleaned a primer pocket or trimmed a casein a long, long time. Lee Collet Neck Sizers and AI chambers work wonders for stretch but... -

25 Cal, early Jack o' Conner
Oh yeah those 75 gr HPs from Horn & their VMax of the same weight are both great for varmints. Either of those + 3400 fps + woodchuck = POP! -

25 Cal, early Jack o' Conner
Just goes to show how cartridges were so limited back then by bullet choice...hence Elmers lack of faith in smaller stuff... Always cracks me up how fun writers today talk about new cartridges. I mean a 30 cal pushing a 180 at X fps ought to be end of the story; once you know those stats you... -

25 Cal, early Jack o' Conner
We live in the golden age of bullets for sure. I own that collection; need to re-read. He loved the 257 Rob, 7x57, & 30-06 long before he hit the Blue Oyster Bar's cartridge; he knew The Truth ;) ! -

First buck with the 7-08
Congrats on the meat in the freezer. Looks like good eating! The more I think about it the more perfect the 7-08 seems as a "one rifle for everything" rig. -

300 Weatherby QL Request and Node inquiry
This is close to one of my wintertime sanity projects; the 208 gr AMax in my Vangard. Thinking something slower than the 7828SSC I used on 155s; maybe RL-25 or -26? H-1000? Retumbo? Anybody have an idea of the best place to start? -

.300 Weatherby, Ramshot Magnum, RL23, or IMR-7828 & 150 TTSX
Dr Mike thank you very much! I am excited to report that I FINALLY took this recently-completed rifle to the range yesterday & my first two 3-shot groups at 100 yds were about 1.25" w/ factory 180 gr loads. This data will give me what I need to get a deer load worked up and be ready to hammer...
