    Question on 25-06 fire forming

    Definately will do. I'm planning on hitting the range the week after next. I'm also doing alot of 7mm WSM test load firing so it will be a long day. Thanks for the reply.

    Question on 25-06 fire forming

    Thanks ST, it's on an M98 action. It's real simple to strip the bolt so I'll proceed along those lines.

    What is your next dream rifle?

    Sadly, it's time to thin the herd. But if I were to get another, I'd like to try the .257 Roberts as the caliber. Model, an old Model 70.

    Thoughts on the current Winchester M70 featherweight.

    I'll add my .02 FWIW. I love my Pre-64 M 70's. A plain ole 30-06 and 2 Supergrades, a .220 Swift and another '06. I also have other Winchesters so I guess I'm a big fan. In 2006 during Winchester New Haven's troubled times, I bought a M70 7mm WSM new at a good sale price. I didn't get...

    Question on 25-06 fire forming

    The 7 MB, a classic. I've not wanted to push the bullet into the lands. I know the reason why people do it but I'm afraid of too much pressure. Thoughts unfounded? Thanks Joel.

    Question on 25-06 fire forming

    I have a 25-06 that has a long chamber. It was made when the cartridge was still a wildcat. It will take a no-go and a field gauge. Without going into details, I was going to fire form .270 brass. I've created a false shoulder on the .270 cartridge so that I need some resistance to close the...

    QL request for the .300 Winchester Magnum

    I see that. No pressure signs in my rifle. I will say it kicks like hell at the bench. Thanks. When I get to shooting it again, I might throttle back a bit. I do not recommend that anyone else attempt to use these loads as they might be dangerious in their rifle. Work up to maximum loads...

    The 7mm WSM and RL 17, IMR 4831 & N204

    ALOT less recoil than the 300 Win Mag. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get the 7mm Rem Mag and call it a day.

    The 7mm WSM and RL 17, IMR 4831 & N204

    Thanks for the reply. I do have a Chrony from the early 1990's and have used it. I've not used it so much for readings but to give me "an idea" of where I'm at. I don't know how accurate it is and while I may not totally believe the readings, I think I'm in the ballpark. For instance, it...

    The 7mm WSM and RL 17, IMR 4831 & N204

    Thanks much, I will see how that data corresponds to what I've come up with.

    The 7mm WSM and RL 17, IMR 4831 & N204

    Hi all, and thanks for the add. I'm starting to handload a 7mm WSM that I bought in the mid 90's, better late than never. The 3 powders I have mentioned in the title are the ones I want to try and I'm starting with 2 different bullets: the 154 Hornady and the 145 Speer Grand Slam. Problem...
