Recently saw a Model 99 in 358 Win posted here in Canada...but it was pretty pricey! First I had seen in about 30 years of watching for one! Still, it didn't stay listed for long, even though it was a user's rifle, and not a collector piece given its current condition.

Nice to see someone else having fun with lever actions! 😎 Look forward to seeing the 338 Federal once done! Here's a pic of my Winchester Model 88 rebarreled to 338 Federal: And the 7mm-08 And the 250 Savage!

Being a fellow left handed shooter, I understand your plight! Short, handy rifles are just a lot of fun to own, shoot, and carry hunting. All of my data for the 338 Federal will provide 400 yards shooting out of my bolt action rifle's 22" barrel (rebarreled LH Sako 85). This is where the...

Yet they have heavier Hammers in 25 cal already, but aren't using them???

I'm a little surprised that they would focus on the lighter bullets, and not make any 120-130 gr class projectiles to take advantage of the 1:7.5 twist barrel potential...interesting. I would of also anticipated a 121-123 gr LRX vs a 115 gr. But then again, I am not the ballistician that they...

6.5 140 gr bullets are great performers!

I used IMR4350 with Hdy 162 gr Interlocks and 160 gr Partitions in my first 280 Rem, a Browning A Bolt. Didn't have access to a chrony, but max book loads produced great accuracy (sub-MOA; 5 shot groups at 100 yards would all be touching) with felt recoil heavier than the factory ammo with the...

There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the 7mm-6.5 PRC wildcat. Sorry, cannot recall at the moment what they are calling it. Edit: They are calling it the 7-6.5 PRCW.

As previously mentioned, only plan at this time for this year is to rebarrel the LH Browning X Bolt All Weather 308 Win to 25 Creedmoor. It will get a 24" 1:7.5 twist barrel; either a Benchmark 5 R or a Wilson carbon fibre. Both are performing well in the 6.5 CM and 250 Savage. Already have...

I had always wished for a LH Ruger 10/22, and had even said if they ever built one, I would buy one. After they finally introduced one (Custom Shop Competition Model), I wanted one, but had other priorities... 🤔 So long story short, l I finally found one at a price I couldn't refuse 3 weeks...

I agree; just being out there is just as rewarding as coming home with something! I have had many outings where we didn't see any game, but got to see some beautiful country! Spent many long days out hunting where we didn't see what we were looking for, but did see a lot of game. Just grateful...

Now you're in trouble! ;) Just do it! (Someone had to enable you!:LOL:)

While I am not quite there yet, having just turned 57, I do find that my priorities too have changed somewhat, and will continue to change in the coming years. For firearms, I am slowing down on the acquisitions (only have one rebarrel project for this year; turning the LH Browning X Bolt All...

Great start the year everone!

A 6.5 127 gr bullet at 3145 fps will definitely reach out and touch something! And 140 gr bullets at 3000 fps will also perform well on game! Better sharpen your knives! 😎 (I know that I am still looking forward to taking game with my 6.5 PRC! 130-140 gr bullets at 3000+ fps)

Was reading about them recently... When I bought my first Kimber 1911 (45ACP), I went with a version with that same rounded grip at the bottom, and found that it reacted differently in my hand during recoil. I didn't care for it. DrMike bought it from me, and my current Kimber (10mm) has the...

Nice shooting! I can only hope my 25 CM will shoot like that when done!

If sticking to their RPM case, either would fill the gap...a 27 cal may also be possible, but the one of the other two is more likely...

At first, the 338 RPM appealed to me as well... While not a true apples-to-apples comparison: When I look at the powder burned in a 24" vs 18" barrel with a 225 gr AccuBond, you get 2800 fps vs 2660 fps (loss of approx. 23 fps/inch), and then look at my 338-06 with a 215 gr bullet getting 2750...

With a Cerakoted action and metal work, I wouldn’t worry about the metal being chrome moly or stainless. Should you scratch or ding the Cerakote, it is an easy fix by those that offer the service. The older powder coat could allow moisture in under the coating, but Cerakote doesn’t.
