While velocity is nice, I'll take accuracy over velocity any day...but it is nicer when you get both! And no crutter is going to know the difference that it started out 47 fps slower (or is it alot slower than that?)...you'll just get a little more drop at longer distances of 300 yards and beyond.

When Nosler brass was first made available, it all came prepped so one did not have to go through thatt process before heading to the primer tool. Today, you must watch as some of their brass is not prepped before packaging, but it usually tells you up front. Take the time to check! IIRC my new...

Best wishes for a good performance, and don't forget to have fun! 😄

If you have a long throat, you will have more jump to the rifling, and once you have hit max coal for your magazine, you may not be able to see as much improvement from seating depth changes as one would with a chamber with a shorter throat where fine tuning seating depth can show marked...

Good to see someone getting good results from the ol' 250 Savage! 39 gr looks like your huckleberry with that bullet!

NIce! 😎 Now you need to shoot an antelope with it! Do you know what velocity you are getting?

If buying a less expensive pair of Leupolds, do yourself a favour and spend a little more to ensure you at least get a pair with the Bak4 prism. Your eyes will thank you after hours of glassing. 10x40 (or 42) are a great binos for glassing mixed terrain. Even when glassing close objects in the...

I dropped my box of 284 Win test loads once too...tried weight sorting...too much variance that I could not get 3 of any of 4 different powder charges to be even close in weight to say with certainty, "this is this powder charge". Just pull one at a time and weigh the powder charge to see if...

Unfortunately I cannot order from Midway as it does give provinces as an option and will not accept our postal (zip) code. Might have to get DrMike to pick me up a couple when he travels Stateside this fall...

Now back to regularly scheduled programming...

Thanks! I guess his asking price wasn't too high, but definitely at the top end. I think I read somewhere that there were just over 6200 Classics chambered to 257 Roberts in 1982...

While I hope to achieve the desired weight for this build, I am prepared to accept a scoped rifle of about 1/2 lb more. I believe the stock option is going to be the ticket to desired weight of the scoped rifle package, If I can achieve it. My X Bolt All Weather with the 24" Benchmark 5R SS...

No apologies necessary. If we didn't have passion for our lifestyles and hunting/shooting/handloading, this forum wouldn't exist and have the quality people we have here keeping it the best, and most civil site on the web! So grateful that they share their knowledge in such a respectful and...

Taxidermy costs have risen quite a bit since I had my first good mule deer done almost 30 years ago! but some of those skilled hands can do some amazingly beautiful work! I am getting more European mounts done today, as also like this presentation...but I am really out of room in my smaller...

JD, what are these rifles selling for in the US right now? Or the Model 70 XTR?

We all have methods that work for us an individual, and there is nothing wrong with that! Do what works best for you, in your environment! Knowing, recognizing, and sticking within your limitations is a good thing! You have successfully taken a number if great animals that anyone would be...

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...
