North Fork list 70gr with H4350 as Max for thier .338 225 Semi spitzer for 2800+. I want to use H4350 too, but would like to find some Data for 64K pressures, just for grins. I know NF are kind of "tacky" and tend to creat more pressure quickly do I understand the premise ( Hawks are same way)...

Great story and great buck! Mod 700 rifles have been my Lifetime Favorite too! A long time ago, back in SE Texas, I also went to the 165 on the 30-06, I felt it ruined less meat than the 150 corlokt. Long before I read it in gun magazines, I accidently "discovered" that 58hr Of IMR 4350/any 165...

I loaded the Speer 100 BTSP in my first Roberts ( Mod 500 Classic). I was able to seat them out alot farther. any reason you cannot seat them farther out? A LEE Factory Crimp Die is your friend, but even then, you want that ogive farther out. Good luck to you sir.

Thats some good shooting there Uncle Fotis!

Wouldn't that be equal to the Brown Whelen Idaho? One may get away without having to FF your brass though.....

I wanted the Mod 700 Classic 35 Whelen but with the chamber reamed out to the Ackley. I was heavily influenced by Gary Sittons writings about the Ackley (he wanted to shoot a 35 caliber, 250gr at 2600fps gtom a 20" barrel.) and I liked the big Barnes X bullets. Since I was using Max load data...

Blkram...I see no real "need" to tell/ask my little Bride about any new rifle " I want, lol JD...I like the 280AI, but never had one in the right weight, barrel and ran out of time to play with it more when it was a widlcat. I just stepped up to the 7mags, ha. However...the right 280AI is wicked. :)

My favorites have proven themselves to me first hand! :) 30.06 .270 35 Whelen

I like the 7x57, and really like the 9.3x62. Though they are a UK development, for dangerous game, I love the 404 Jeffrey and the 416 Rigby. They all interest me, but I have played with these in several rifles through the decades.

Back in Dec, on a cow elk hunt, I had a tough time holding a very light rifle still, but got it done. I sold it, and went back to "Sporter weight" rifles. I also had a current shoulder problem, so thought, "no more hard recoiling calibers. I found a sweet Mod 700 Classic in 30.06 in Montana from...

I forgot to add the 338 RPM I killed my last cow with! My goodness. I loved the round, but the rifle didn't suit me. It was a rebarreled Wby UL, a Douglas, that shot the 185 TTSX Wby factory load like a varmint rifle...off the bench! When I was in the field, from hunting positions, it was just...

Now, I do plan on rotating these rifles when hunting, so no telling which one will I get "Bloody" first! ha I am set up for rifles now ( three is about my Max ever anyhow) Best part is going to that Physical Therapist my shoulder is "settling down now", ha I can live with "sore" as long as I...

Well, I bought the sweet deal! Mod 700 Classic, 338WM older (turning purple!) 3.5x10 AO with a very long eye relief too! Has a Decelerator pad already. My Smith is going to change out the Brake to a 3 Port design and adjust out the tiny bit of creep out of the trigger. Its already bedded. The...

250! Ouch! I was thinking more along the lines of the Hammer 190 HHT lol!

I really think I will be just fine with a brake/soft pad on anything I want to shoot. The The '06 and 7mRM (with their new Gentry Brakes and soft pads ) will be shot more often than anything bigger I'd want anyhow. With both of those rounds, I don't miss any 300 Mag I've had. I am in love with...

Physical Therapist said it will take about a year for the Periodical pain to subside and the rest of the shoulder to "adjust for" the missing mucle strength. I am soooo missing a good 300WM or 338 Win Mag! My "favorite" was the 338 RUM or 340 Wby! I the last two with a Brake, and even then you...

I have used 338 Marlin Express 338 Federal 338/280 338/06 338/06 Ackley 338 RCM 338 Win Mag 340 Wby 338 RUM I loved them all but would have to say, for elk/elk size the 340 Wby and 338 RUM were my favorites. For easy, you can't beat the 338 Fed (338/08) and 338/06. The 338 Win Mag is just a...

Thanks for the reply Wes, I sold it . I didn't even try it. I'm glad I did. I shot my unbraked Mod 700 Classic in 30-06/200NPY with a Limbsaver Pad and while it is very tolerable, the "accumulated" recoil ( I even used a Past Recoil Shield) left me very sore. Thankfully, I can't injure my...

Well, another friend talked me into getting another 7mm Rem Mag instead of another .270! I settled on a new Bergara B14 Hunter, having it braked with a Gentry Quiet Brake, just wanted to try them. Just left it at the Smith last week for a TT Special, skim bed and the brake. Then. yesterday and...
