    Weight Loss

    I have to admit it. I'm not 25, 45, nor 55 anymore. I truly love my Ruger M77 boat paddle, but it's seeming a little hefty these days. Are any of you experienced in shaving about a pound out of a brick stock ? I'm sure some judicious channeling of the forearm interior, and maybe a drilling into...

    338 fed QL request, for a friend

    An on-line buddy of mine bought a box of 338 Fed 200 gr Fussions. Says it had an insert that stated 56.1 gr of Alliant 2000MR yeilded 2869fps. Alliant website states 52.0 at 2725. 24" barrel. Would someone run a QL on a Speer 200 using Alliant 2000MR w/ a Fed case, std primer? Something seems...

    Linguica

    I haven't found any since I moved to N. Ohio & I'm really Jonsing for a Linguica & Cheddar sandwich for breakfast. It looks like I'm going to have to do it the hard way if I can't find it anywhere else. SW GA on a pig hunt this fall. Anyone have a fav recipe on how to make it ?

    Jug Test Question

    OK guys, I have a serious quandary about this: Jug penetration. I'm a 7/08 & 338 Fed guy true & true. Nuff said, end of story. Here's the quandary. If either of these two cartridges can put a bullet through 4,5 or sometimes 6 jugs and show exemplary performance, matching the whiz-bang Mag's...

    1st run, 338 Fed

    Finally, Finally got to get out to the range and take the 1st shots with the RA re-bore. I was actually expecting it to thump the old shoulder with a bit more authority, but it was a pleasant surprise to find the recoil was easy-peasy. Ran some Fed Fusion 200's and 45.0gr of RL-15 w/ 200gr...

    150 Ballistic Tip

    Not much going on for 7mm tests, so I thought I'd show one of the loads I've used for many, many moons. It's given me about a dozen 100% 1st shot kills on whitetails & pigs. Ruger MKII, 7mm/08 150gr Ballistic Tip WLR primer R-P once fired brass 2.800 OAl 40.5gr RL-15 +/- 2650 fps. (YMMV)

    Lope's, Unit 77, Wy

    Looks like I can draw a tag this year, and the stats also look pretty good. Anybody hunted the area? Just looking for some pro/con, not a specific area to hunt, that would spoil half the fun of going.

    SPS website down ?

    Tried to buy some 2nd's I've been waiting for and can't add anything to 'my cart'. Tried to call, but got a canned message. Anyone else having issues ?

    RA magazine fix

    The magazines for the Ruger American are notorious for not feeding rounds properly. When I rebored mine to a 338 Fed I ran into this. Found this fix on You Tube, tried it, and Presto ! It worked. Just be careful putting the back on. There is a small hole that must be lined up with the feeder...

    Expansion, Penetration, Velocity, Energy

    I'm going to open this one by expressing my train of thought. I have spent decades studying the dynamics bullets performance. I seek, read, and scourer every bullet test I can. I'm looking to draw out a theorem, so help me, if you will. Take into account the 4 words in the title, then gives...

    223 coyote load

    I'm in Ohio. I'm going to using a Bushmaster CR15, with a 16"-ish barrel. I'm really not going to get all hard core into 'Yotes, but every now & then I want to get out regardless the the current season. I'm thinking a 55 BT. Thoughts?

    Strange BT's

    I just received my order of 7mm 140gr BT seconds from SPS. Imagine my surprise when I saw 4 bags of non-red tipped bullets ! At 1st I wondered if they were AB's, but looking closer I saw that the tips are a light gray color. Correct product code. Anyone have any ideas ?

    ATI 1911 Magazine

    I just bought an ATI 1911 Military 45ACP. Looking to pick up a couple more magazines. Question: Will a Colt magazine fit, provided it's of the same round count ?

    Any Ohio hunters out there?

    Can't afford another WY 'lope hunt this year, but have '17 on the will-do list. This year I'm doing the home ground hunt to get my fix. I've lived down south for the past 40 years, after joining the Corps and have been back in Ohio for a couple of years now. I've hunted Salt Fork, where I shot...

    IMR 4320

    Looking at the burn rate table shows IMR 4320 falling in between Varget and Win748, but I never see anyone mentioning using it. Seems it should work just fine in a '08 class case. Anyone given it a shot?

    It's Finally Done !

    This started as a dream, way back during Desert Storm. Finally made it come true yesterday. My 338 Fed project is now alive! It's a Ruger American Wolf, that started as a 308 Win. I sent it of to JES for the re-bore. Talk about turn around? From Ohio to Oregon, and back, job done inside of 3...
