Earlier today I had a chance to try out my new barrel on the 224. This is a Shilen 8 twist 4 groove ratchet Alternut barrel. My fired brass from the old barrel will not chamber due to unforeseen issue. I have 40 pcs of new Norma let to use. I had to pull the old ammo (55gr Sierra) and loaded it...
Kinda old news by now. Weatherby has released their own muzzleloader based on the 307. For anyone interested here’s their web page.

Today was the first time out this year as expected some rust to shake off. Besides the H4350 Creed test and the Sub 308 , I tried out a new scope I mounted on the 375 Wby this winter. I had sent the scope I had mount on it back to Crimson Trace. I took a generic load of 270gr Speers and Hybrid...
Back around the first of the year I toyed around with the Hornady 220gr RN and TiteGroup for subsonic loads. Not that I could finally have time to hit my range , I tried them out.
My S2 Vanguard has a 1:12 twist and I found that to be a handicap. They impacted 18.5” low on my 208gr A-max zero...
Guy welcome back to UR👍
Your video last year on the 45/70 and the Sub-X got me thinking of my own project. A short barreled 458 WM😁. Ordered my barrel late last year and still waiting unfortunately.
After watching your new video today and your mystery I believe is your chronograph. I think the...
Today I laid out some 5gal pails of water to catch some bullets at a balmy 33* for mid April.
First was the Nosler 240gr JHP
Not much expansion , seems the bullet may have tumbled. Stopped in the second pail.
Next was a Winchester 240gr JHP.
The bullet never expanded and plowed thru 2...
The past couple of weeks our internet has sucked to say the least. We currently use a wireless broadband company that uses local access points to feed our radio receiver. With the rough weather we’ve been having , we’re down more than up.
The only other option I have is Starlink. Does anyone...
Last night we received 8” of some really wet snow. This weekend we are expecting a huge snow storm , and to think Monday it was in the 60’s.
I hope this is wrong , we don’t need 20 - 30+ inches more.
Today I decided on a new tractor , a LS MT357 with the PowerClutch. I was looking for something bigger than my 2 JDs and with a cab. Plan is to pick it up Saturday morning weather depended. The tires will be switch out to the newer R14 instead of the R4 that are on there.
Kinda looking forward...

I found this today on their website and find it interesting. You simply enter your cartridge and lot number and tells you a lot about your brass.
With the snow yesterday couldn’t do much outside today. Dug out some old Winchester 240s my brother gave me some time back. I stuffed them on top of 22.8grs of H110. Ready to roll come spring.
The cylinder on my Tracker is anything but perfect. Nocking the empties out is a PITA. I’m looking at using a Flex Hone for firearms for honing.
Has anyone here a had success in honing a ruff cylinder with decent outcome?
Getting loads ready for this spring for the 257 Wby. Got some correct headstamped Peterson brass to work with. I picked 4 bullets that Weatherby offered in their factory loads. 110gr ELD-X , 110gr AB , 115gr Bt , and 120gr PT.
I found 77grs of N570 fills the case full , was a little...
New year new rifle , right? How many members are planning on getting a new firearm or customizing a current one?
I’m hoping to have my 378 Wby back this spring. A new barrel is on order for the 458 WM and I’m on the fence on rebarreling the 224 Wby. As far as new , well you never know what may...
