I have not tried lubing the case necks... The cases were clean as they had just come out of the tumbler and I clean them after that with a bore brush to get the media dust out.. I understand tight fit, but if the pilot is 3 to 4 thousandths bigger it won't fit. Its all good and I am all caught...

Well I did some measuring and am still stumped. I measured the inside of the case necks and came up with .272 from the Lee full length die and .273 from the RCBS neck sizer die. The pilot marked with a "27" on my trim pro measures .275. I guess that explains why I can't use the 27 pilot on my...

WOW, tough question. Currently my fav is my Ruger M77 MKII in 257 Roberts. Next would be my Marlin 444 SS. I do have a sporterized 1891 Argentine mauser in 7.65x53 that holds a special place in my heart. It shoots very well, and looks very nice too. Take care Ed

You will not be disappointed in the Pre 64.. Great quality. My Dad has one on 270 Win and it shoots lights out.. Hope it is mine some day.. :lol: :lol: Take care Ed

I would like to trim my brass after I full length resize so I have a consistent length to start loading with. Only problem is that my trim pilot on my RCBS trim pro is to big and I have to use the next size smaller. Is this common or am I doing it backwards? BTW I am trimming Winchester 270 Win...

It kills with one end, and maims with the other. :shock: :shock:

I too would like to see a LR style bullet for the 25's, being a 257 Bob shooter myself. My guess is that Nosler will focus most of their R&D dollars on 26, 28, and 30.. Hmmmm, maybe because they like to sell $1700 rifles. Just my thoughts. Take care Ed

WOW.. beautiful country for sure. Out here in Utah there are a lot of places to shoot long range, but just as Guy said, you have to be careful someone doesn't show up in your shooting lane.. I am a few years out from retirement, but my wife and I already know that wherever we land we will have...

Congrats on an awesome year Guy... Its great to have all that low fat organic protein in the freezer. It does a person good. I really miss having my freezer full, oh well there is always next year.. (y) Take care Ed BTW, all 4 with an 06... Hmmmm, Grand Ol Cartridge...

So I went ahead and ordered a pair from Ruger.. might as well have it all match up..Top of the line rifle and I was whining over $25 :lol: .. Funny what we will try to save on.. Thanks for all the replies and offers. Happy New Year all Ed

Thanks Guy.. The rifle was used from Cabelas Gun library.. so who knows what happened to the rings..

Unfortunatly the Ruger #1 I picked up for my wife's Christmas did not come the factory scope rings. I checked the Ruger website and they are very proud of their rings. Was just wondering about other options? Does anyone else supply scope rings that fit these rifles? Thanks Ed

Cabelas Gun Library.. Ruger #1, 257 Roberts Stock was cut to 12.5 LOP, just perfect for my wife. 26 inch barrel.. now just need to find her some optics.. Thinking a Nikon Protaff 3-9x40 BDC.. Merry Christmas to all Ed

I have owned a Triple 4 for 15 years and have killed several Mule Deer, 1 Elk and a few Whitetail. It hits game like a hammer, which is why mine has the nickname of Thor. The 265gr FP from Hornady are very good bullets and shoot 1 MOA form my Marlin. The early ones with the 1-38 twist may...

No apology needed.. Its not surprising the old caliber is not in there. Thank you so much for the others, it looks like I have some really good info to go on. once again Thank you Merry Christmas Ed

That is why I always have more than my primary rifle with me.. always have a spare. My wife and were in Colorado second season Elk, when we were headed out early on the 4th morning my 444 Marlin had the Lever rev magazine alignment problem and would not chamber the first round.. I had the...

When it is convenient for you gentlemen who graciously offer you assistance with Quik Load software, I have 3 requests.. Looking for some varmit loads for the 257 Roberts, 75 grain V max, 270 Win 110gr V max.. and another load to try in my 7.65 Mauser, Hornady 174 Gr HPBT. A burn rate chart...

I have had Missouri Whitetail.. some were good some weren't at all.. Colorado alfalfa fed Mule deer, all very tender and tasty. Colorado Elk, Excellent table fare for sure and my freezer is still empty.. But I think the best wild big game I have ever eaten was a Colorado hi country Pronghorn...

Thanks for all the tips and ideas so far.. I have looked at the Birchwood Casey Perma Blue kit and from what I gather the prep is the most important part of the process. I am not sure if that requires a total breakdown of the action and parts as I do not have the tools to do that. I was hoping...

I have a very nice sporterized Model 91 mauser in 7.65. It amazes me at the way it shoots 150 gr Hornady interlocks... It is really in need of some reblueing and was looking for some recommendations for this as a DIY project.. I would like it to end up with a nice dark finish.. Also would love...
