Also...with the safety in the middle position, the lift is nice and easy with no resistance. Right Lug: Left Lug: Smartphone pictures aren't the best. Whenever I clean my rifles, I always try to clean out that area the best I can. It's kind of a pain to get anything in there, but I try.

I've got a Model 70 Classic with a fairly hard bolt lift. It doesn't matter if the chamber is loaded or not. I've tried adding a dab of Breakfree where the cocking (?) mechanism is at the back of bolt. I even swapped bolts with my other Model 70 and it feels the same. Could this be in...

Very nice! Like grry said...what are you using for powder? I've got a couple boxes of 140 gr TTSX's that I can't get to shoot with R-22 out of my 280.

For every bullet I test, I go through the whole process of figuring out the OAL to the lands for that specific bullet (using a Hornady Comperator) and write each one down in my log book. I used to use a Hornady OAL gauge but I figured out that the modified case has a different headspace...

Nice! I wish we had more muley's in my part of the state.

Nothing wrong with that. Good job!

Nebraska's November firearm deer season opened Saturday and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. This year was the first time in at least 10-12 years we had a nice blanket of snow on the ground (2''-3'') for opening day. Temps were in the single digits in the morning and didn't get too...

Thank you sir!

I've got a box of 117 gr. Hornady Interlock BTSP's on the way. Do you suppose I would be safe to use load data for a 117 gr Gameking out of my Sierra Manual for a starting point? I've got 5 manuals already and didn't want to drop the coin for another if I can't get these to shoot. Or if...

Sounds like a good idea too me. I'll give that a shot.

I finally got out to re-test this load yesterday. It was hovering in the mid 40's with a stiff 15-20 mph south wind (directly at my back). The results were a little disappointing. I shot 6-3 shot groups: 55.3 gr (R-22): 0.20'' off lands / 0.30'' off lands / 0.40'' off lands 55.5 gr (R-22)...

Here's a pic of the brass:

Nice shooting with the 25-06. I've found with mine, like you did, they tend to like the slower burning powders. As to the yahoo in lane 9...we had a guy shooting jugs with us the afternoon before opening day of deer season last year that was shooting a 300 WM (that's what he told us anyway)...

My current. 08 Dodge Ram 4x4. Gets me wherever I need to go. I'm hoping to get this one running one of these days. It needs a lot of work. '79 Dodge Adventurer 3/4 ton with a 318. I think it's a full time 4x4, so it's got a top speed of about 60. It'll climb a mountain though. It's...

Well crap...wish I'd know about this before I bought my WFT a couple of weeks ago. Looks like a good way to go. It might be worth getting one anyway. Anyone want a 30-06 WFT...make ya a helluva deal on one (slightly used of course)? Thanks for the review greenheadcaller.

I'm gonna play with the seating depth a little on all 3 loads...the tinkerer in me won't let me to leave it alone, so we'll see what happens the next time out. The plan is to try 0.020'' & 0.040'' off the lands along with these loads again.

Only 48 at a time? My local Cabelas had Reloader 15, 17, 19 & 22 in stock the other day. Maybe the squeeze will loosen sometime soon (not gonna hold my breath though).

Can't complain about that.

OK...how about a really big cloverleaf? :mrgreen: I probably should of said "a nice triangle with the potential of a cloverleaf".

I know what you mean. 2 years ago, I tried everything under the sun (so I though anyway) to get the 117 gr Gameking's to shoot out of this rifle and I couldn't get a darn thing to work. I've still got about 1/2 a box sitting on the shelf and now I'm half-tempted to try them again. I'm...
