I really enjoy the 257 roberts. Mom used one during my formative years for quite a few deer, a couple elk in Oregon and a number of Caribou prior to leaving Alaska. While I remain cautious as a reloader there are two cartidges I continue to push. The roberts and the 7x57. Actually I’m pretty...

Charlie, thanks. I got real smart on this project called a young sparky we know. He came out got things right and he was young enough to get up in the attic. That’s why you call an electrician he said.

Well I’ll report any other issues. I do keep my lots of brass fairly well organized. I’ll inspect this box after cleaning to see if any others look bad. Hell I’ll probably just toss the 20 round box. Not worth having another come apart in the rifle.

At that price I’ll buy them just to shoot at boulders across the canyon or steel plates. Probably done shooting at boulders given the fire danger this year. In any event, I’ll buy some just to shoot from position. They may be accurate, good on game but I’ve all the confidence I need in my...

Nothing unusual. No shoulder growth to speak of new brass to once fired to resize, it appears the rifle and sammi specs all agree. Random checking shows just about .002 shoulder change on firing. Necks are lubed for sizing. Primer pockets are still tight, the pressure it takes to seat a primer...

I have not gone down that rabbit hole yet😀

Resizing some 257 Roberts and encountered a neck separation I don't recall ever seeing before. 3x loaded Nosler +p brass. Glad it's not stock in the rifle.

Now I want to see a bee between the points on your cape Buffalo.

Well “swat” was a rapidly evolving art when I played the game, (90 to 2011). Still evolving. In some cities computers at public works can shut the lights down in an isolated part of the city. My old department is making great use of very small drones, they’ve actually had a drone inside while...

This is just so sad. You deserve to catch a break.

Jeepers that is fast, not much is going to stand up to that.

I say keep the brake. Adding two pounds is a lot and adding to the butt stock would really mess up the balance.

I had a 10/22 with a suppressor we seized from a serial felon, used it mainly for taking out street lights, front porch and yard lights when we wanted things nice and dark. Made less noise than a suppressed MP-5. The breaking glass and bullet impact made much more noise than the round going off...

Pinnell and Talifsonn guided on Kodiak island from the 1930s, they spent 60 years guiding bears. Amazing men. They started with less but quickly adopted the model 70 in 375 for the majority of their careers. There was not an official scoring system until the 1960s, they had record skulls laying...

Any of the Alliant powders have proven difficult to find and expensive. I’ve been shooting the same load of IMR 4064 for at least 30 if not 40 years, in the same rifle. I have had the rifle since 1968. Still shoots very well. When I can’t find an Alliant powder I need I find the Vihtivori...

Welcome aboard. Absolutely no way to know! I have found Abolts to be relatively accurate and the few I’ve loaded for shot well with hotter loads. I personally use IMR 4064, H4350 or RL 22 in the 06. Load some up and shoot, tell us what you learn. I’m a big fan of the 150 ballistic tip for deer.

I too like hunting Impala. Shot two this year. One cull for camp meat one good one. Them and warthogs will probably always be in danger.

I've plenty of H4350 and just about done with 15. There is a can at my local gun store but I won't pay 85.00 us. I fired right at 1000 rounds with my 300 getting ready for my recent hunt, 5% of those off the bench. I'm not sure I'll pull the trigger that many times with the 375👍😁

Took some 300 gr partitions to the range loaded with 68 gr RL 15, Replaced the old 1.5 x4 vx11 with a not so old vx3 1.5x5 I had on a Ruger 10/22. Took a couple of shots to get it a little closer then got serious, Point of aim was the lower target in the picture. First two went high. Took a...

Whoops some how I copied that forward.
