I never got around to handloading for the RSI, just shot the Nosler factory ammo in it. In my newly acquired new-to-me custom LH Sako 591 I have worked with Re-22, Re-17, and H-414 with the 115 gr Ballistic Tips so far, with more work needed with 49.0 gr of Re-22 as showing potential, with a...

When I had my Lipsey's Edition No. 1 RSI in 257 Roberts, it liked the Nosler 110 gr AccuBond ammo.0.768' groups at 100 yards for 3 shots. It was slow in that 20" barrel; 220 fps below what Nosler spec'd the ammo for (3050 fps). It did not quite as well with the Federal 120 gr Partition ammo...

Right now there is both a Rem 700 Classic and a Win Model 70 XTR in 257 Roberts, both in great condition, for sale here in Canada. Both at pretty healthy prices (in my opinion; not sure what they should be going for), although I know both are hard to find. If I wasn't a lefty, I would be all...

I have custom and semi-custom rifles on all 4 actions listed, and each has it merits. I like them all! In the end, this will predominantly be a hunting rifle, where as the 25 CM will hunt too, but most often be used for target practice and shooting to longer distances (for me, 500 yards as that...

And you spot and shoot further than some people stalk!!! ;) You got some skills man! FOTIS might be able to create accurate ammo and shoot tiny little groups; you can really reach out and touch them!:D And you have, and with hand cannons no less... I have long since added you to my list of those...

Not sure if this topic has ever been asked (I do not recall): What is your favourite method(s) of hunting? And you can include small game (including predators), big game, upland birds and waterfowl. For me, for small game: it is spot and stalk through the thickets for snowshoe hares, and...

My mounts/flatskins/etc. will go to my daughter, for what she wants in her home. The rest will donated to my First Nations community to put on the walls in the various public buildings for ceremony, cultural and educational purposes.

A mono at 2500 fps will still provide plenty of performance on a cape buffalo! A little less velocity will actually improve the penetration quality of an expanding bullet for the big bovines. I would be tempted to shoot a couple more groups with that load to see how group sizes do without...

Skinning golf balls seems a difficult proposition...hard to keep hold of them...and it would take quite a few to fill the freezer! Probably tough to chew, and nasty taste to boot! :devilish:

Looking forward to some other brass makers to provide some good 257 AI brass for this project...so it may take a year or more make this one come together. (I hope ADG or Petersen are listening!) But I am not in a rush, and I will have the new 25 CM to keep mee preoccupied! 😄

While that is interesting, I like the ol' Swede as is...and I have a PRC for that extra couple hundred feet of velocity...and am just having fun exploring the quarterbore some more!

That's a fair number of deer! As DrMike would say, "that might not be a record, but it is a good start!".

I wouldn't think so...but then again, I have never been to Alabama!

Oh, the dangers of being laid up in a hospital bed, with lots of time to think... 🤔 While my 25 CM rebarrel project is waiting on me to be able to up and about again, to take that Browning LH X Bolt All Weather into the gunsmith to have that new 24" Benchmark 5R SS 1:7.5 twist barrel put on...

The main difference is going to be that the wild game does not have fat marbelled into the muscle like beef does.

I know that I use it in my custom LH REM 700 300 WSM (69.5 gr for 2978 out if my 23.5" barrel) and that it produces 1/2" groups and has take quite a bit of game for me over the years (wolf, black bear, moose and elk). I got this recipe from DrMike as he was also getting good results with it in...

Very nice! All of them!

Unfortunately, over time, I have misplaced my 338 Win Mag reload data... But a quick look at records shows that the Federal factory ammo was doing approx. 2830 fps withe the 210 gr Partition, and 2800 fps with the 225 gr AccuBond. I used the 210 Partition ammo and handloads exclusively in my...

Are you hunting buffalo with the same outfitter near Bedford you hunted with a couple times now?
