Wholesale Sport just received a large shipment of Alliant powder which was pretty well sold out at the mail order level in a few days. The individual stores now are receiving stock but most are limiting quantities.
Yes it is! LoL
Before he went on the trip I told him to shoot a nice 2 year old. The old guy was the only legal animal he saw in a week of hunting so he shot it.
Even the gravy was tough ............................... ;) LoL
I was just cleaning up files on my computer and ran across these pictures of a couple 250 grain .338 Partition Gold bullets we loaded for my friends bison hunt a few years ago.
The bison - a ~ 2000 pound mature bull - was a true wild animal taken in Northern British Columbia. Tim took the...
Things are starting to get a bit thin here in the BC interior too.
The local stores are running low on primers and .22 rimfire ammo of all things. Most of the popular powders have been sold out and the bullet selections are limited.
The gun racks are starting to empty and no one within a...
With the 28" barrel it is very easy to get 3300 fps with a 130 grain bullet but accuracy suffers. The trigger on mine - the Browning version of the 1885 - is very good.
I just noticed you are from Denmark. You may recognize another very accurate rifle I own. 8)
Yes, it's 28" long. It easily matches 270 wsm velocities and is nipping at the heels of the 270 WBY.
Even with the 28" hex barrel the rifle is still easy to pack as it weighs just over 9 pounds with the 3-9x50 scope in the picture. The overall length is also quite modest with the very short...
Yes, I agree the Highwalls are a nice piece of engineering. This one of mine has seen plenty of use as a "long-range" rifle for shooting across a logging clear-cut or an alfalfa field.
RL 22 has produced very good results for me. 8)
This rifle is quite accurate with just about any quality bullet but it really loves the 130gr and Reloder 22 and will print an honest repeatable 1/2 MOA. Sometimes it does even better as show by this picture.
Sales tax and customs inspection "fees" are really hit and miss. The last 4 packages I have received from the US have cleared the border without any hassle or costs. Nothing like playing the border bingo game. ;) LoL
With that said I finally had the 7x61 Sharpe and Hart brass I had an importer...
I received mine - which I ordered through Sinclairs -the other day and think the way the content is presented is great. I have to ask why a number of cartridges - the 25 wssm for example - have been moved out of the main body of the manual and put in the appendix? :?:
Also ...
Yes Gerry. That is one of the "Lipsey's Special" runs that Clay at PR brought in. He had another run imported a while ago of the same rifle in 7x57. I damn near had a pair of "twins" but decided at the last second that I really didn't need it. (If however Lipsey's ever commissions the same...
Yesterday afternoon I took my 3rd deer using the Ruger 77 RSI chambered for 250 Savage I bought a couple of years ago.
To say I have been impressed with this little cartridge would be an understatement. The short - 18" - RSI barrel spits out the 110 grain Accubond at a modest 2550 fps...
I have shot 2 mule deer and a wolf with the 168 gr E-tip launched out of my 300 wsm @ ~3000 fps.
The first deer was a full broadside at 175 yards through the ribs. Entry hole was about 2 1/2" in diameter as was the exit. Blood-shot on the entry side was extensive with bruising extending up into...
It's funny that when I bought my M77 RSI in 250 Savage last year the dealer mentioned that this rifle was being bought by guys for their kids and grandchildren. I started to laugh and told him the one I was buying was for me not some kid that couldn't appreciate it! LoL
