Mais oui!

Well she is home and they actually sent her back in a black Plano rifle case and there was a box of 225gr ABs inside the case as well as my Lady.
I will be taking photos this week end if everything goes accordingly and hopefully there will be some test loads for the 225gr. 8) I will be starting with 59grs of RL-15 and then trying 60gr & 61gr as per loads from Scotty.
After I have them figured out a bit then we will really try to dial her in using the COAL to get the best out of her>
Thanks Mike for all your help and I just want to say your new 7mm mag you had photos of sure looked good and the bolt was on the proper side :wink:
What stock was put on that girl?

Blessings,
Dan

Congratulations, Dan. Glad it arrived. It fired without a hitch for me, printing some respectable groups. The stock on that 7mmRM was a McMillan A5, if I recall correctly.

Good luck with her. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. I plan on working with the 225's also. Looks like next week will be range week. :grin:

 

[sask boy]

Hi billbam, what are the specs on your rifle :?: I am sorry if you mentioned them already but I don't remember, I am starting to realize that I have oldtimers disease :mrgreen: or as my wife remains me selective memory and with that comes selective hearing :shock:

Blessings,
Dan

 

[billbam]

I have both also. :wink: Had the smith redo my old 30-06. It was my first rifle which I bought around 1982. I used it for my first elk and a few muleys. We went with a Shilen #3 barrel and a McMillan stock. I'm not sure how the colors came out but I went with 50 med tan 25 olive 25 black, if I remember right. I have a Minox which i"m going to try on it with talleys.

 

[DrMike]

billbam,

Sounds like a great rifle you have coming your way. I know the scope will serve you well.

 

[SJB358]

Bill, that sounds like a great set up. Should be a few Whelens in the Mtn's this year!

Looking forward to seeing how you make out with your Whelen Dan.
