    280 Remington

    I don't have my 280 Remington any longer as I had a 280AI built and I sold my 280 Remington. I really loved the 280 Remington also and I shot 140 gr. bullets in it using IMR4350. Out of my 700 Mountain Rifle with the 22" barrel I was getting 2940 fps with that load. It shot great and killed...

    Ovis Outfitters - grizzly bear hunt - evaluation

    The outfitters told me that they have taken several bears in the 20-24 year range up there which would be ancient for an Arctic Bear.

    Another leather project

    Slimmfinn you should look into getting your daughters each a Ruana knife for next year. Better purchase it now as Mike & Mark Hangus are looking to retire. This company has been family owned since it started in 1938 with Rudy Ruana (grandpa) making knives in the same shop still used today...

    Current Production 280AI Rifles

    My Winchester Model 70 I have built into a 280AI has a 24" Shilen Match Grade barrel on it 1-9 twist. It shoots great. Heaviest bullets I have used have been 140 gr. Partitions and Accubonds. I know the same bullets in it except for being 160 grs. would work very well also. That's probably...

    Christmas Rifle List!

    Can't wait to see it in action. There are powders that I'm sure would be faster than IMR4350, but it's worked for me for a lot of years. I shoot the 100 gr. Patition with 43.4 grs. of IMR4350. 3170 pfs. I've shot a few 90 gr. Accubonds out of it as well and they were really accurate and...

    Christmas Rifle List!

    I own a 1B in 6mm Remington and I love that rifle. It shoots very well and with the 26" barrel its a screamer.

    Christmas Rifle List!

    I think it's about time that Lipseys through Ruger should commission a run of Ruger #1's with a 24" sporter weight barrel and a 1-8 twist in 6mm Remington. This is the 6.5 ManBun they are chambering currently. Build it just like this with this beautiful wood stock and a nice sporter 24" barrel.

    Range day - 240 Wby

    Well you surely need to fill that 6mm slot and I cannot think of one better than a 6mm Remington. I sure like my Ruger 1B with the 26" barrel. It really shoots and you get the most out of a 6mm with that long barrel that you are going to get. Yeah I like the 6mm Remington.

    130 gr. Accubond or 125 gr. Partition would be great. Nothing wrong with the E-tip either!

    IMR7828 SSC in 270 WSM

    IMR7828SSC is a really good powder and it has worked well for me in my loads for my 280AI. Looks like you are getting it dialed in! Nicely done.
