In online searches I am getting differing lengths quote for these two actions as to what maximum O.A.L the box magazines will allow, and will feed properly. While I RARELY use the magazine for anything other than "emergency back up" rounds, it is good information to have before purchasing...

With a forever tight budget for "toys" I'm looking at an older Howa 1500. A bit of research shows it to "probably" be a 1993-1994 version. Synthetic stock. I'm reading a lot about the triggers and that most have replaced the trigger with, what I ASSUME is, a new factory trigger. Cost unknown...

Surprisingly, while going through the closing Stock and Field Store (formerly Big R) I bumped into a pair of Muck Ankle II boots (closeout priced) about 1 1/2 sizes too big. (About the size I wanted.) In the past I've used THICK felt/wool pads along with moisture wicking socks and a thinner...

Dang......if only Dad would have had a crystal ball and had bought 50 boxes of these (red box) when Nosler was in Ashland. I suppose $4.50 a box was "a lot" between 1948-1958 but they sure look inexpensive by today's dollars! Three red Ashland, OR boxes of .257: 1 box of 100 grain "Semi Point...

I see several reviews online on the .224" Varmint Nightmare bullet sold in bulk from Midsouth. As always, some are good, some are "ok" .some are not so good. Specifically, other than personal experiences with them good or bad, if someone would tell me the bullet length of the 55 grain Varmint...

Hodgdon has a formula for using Trail Boss for reduced loads AND has some listed on their website load data charts. Trail Boss has a rep of usable reduced loads with still enough powder so one can NOT double charge a round accidently however........there is a problem with all of this. The...

There are a few frangible 224 diameter bullets around now and I'm asking for experienced opinions of which of them others have found most accurate and which seem to be the most volatile. Rifle is a bolt action therefore any special considerations the AR type rifles may or may not require are...

I've mentioned before that shooting distances here in N. IN run more <200 yards than over and I've gotten to the old man stage of getting greater enjoyment shooting low recoil, low muzzle blast rounds so I did a little background work on some of the short-mid range cartridges and the rifles they...

Looking to swap bullets with anyone having the discontinued bullets I'm interested in. I'll also buy outright if price is acceptable. I have these in 6mm to trade: 100 Speer 105 grain hotcor, in box 40 of the Nosler 95gr ballistic tip, in box. 80 Berger 95gr VLD hunting, in box. A few...

I picked up a Remington Model Seven in 6mm Remington that is in need of a little TLC and a facelift. Noticing the round bolt end and the single rear screw for a base I knew this was one of the early ones and the lower serial number indicated it was VERY early so I looked up the barrel code and...

Not being able to do much walking after surgery for our upcoming deer season plus the fact that it's going to take time to get much strength in my low back (needed for most hunting shots) I picked up a Caldwell Fieldpod and thought I'd give a short review. I'll probably add more as I use it...

Any real world difference in neck bushing resizing dies between RCBS and Redding? Used Redding before but saw RCBS dies and bushings are a little less costly, so asking for any preferences anyone has whom has used both. Thanks, as always. God Bless Steve

I had a 6mm Remington in a Model 600 decades ago. Wasn't real impressed with the rifle but I did find the round a ball of fun. Another one I should have kept, lol. Anyway, I've been watching the classifieds and auctions and this popped up.........at a price that had me slack-jawed for a few...

I picked up this 1976 700 BDL that have been restocked with a 700 Classic stock and also found a second stock that has a 1/2-5/8" shorter LOP for hunting with my winter gear on. The second stock is bedded and evidently the recoil lug was about .010" inch thinner than the present one. The...

This is somewhat out of my wheel house so ......HELP? I keep reading about "over annealing" your case's neck and the shoulder area. Just what exactly happens to the brass's integrity (and how/why if possible) if it's actually OVER annealed. I can see where heating the neck TOO LONG will heat...

Probably a re-run of some previous thread but I didn't find much with a fast search. Comparing the same weight and caliber E-tip and Accubond bullets, are there "normally" load options one can find to duplicate velocities in the two (or close) without undue pressure or copper fouling? I'm...

Is there a commonly used bolt action rifle that has a magazine with a cartridge limit of 3.34" or........am I missing something? WHY do most the long action rifle cartridges have a 3.34" suggested maximum COAL? I've only shot 700 Remingtons 90 percent of the time and don't understand this...

Ok. Probably a subject that's been beat to death but this forum is the only one (that I'm in that I know won't turn into a flaming war....like some.) I would ask for opinions.....so you are elected by default. Ignoring the blown out wider shoulder diameters for increased capacity that go with...

I keep seeing over and over that RL-22 and Norma MRP are identical powders. But...... I ALSO keep reading QL data print outs with both on the list for the cartridge........and they are NOT side by side and normally, not even close together like 414 and 760 almost always are. QL states it's...

99 percent of the time I'm planning on using 140 grain Core lokt and Partitions along with 154 grain Hornady bullets in both spire point and round nose But...... For longer ranges I've some 120gr ballistic tips loaded to 3100 plus or so in my 7x57. I've read much on how tough this bullet is...
