    Caught Yet "Another" Great Deal!

    Sold that 264 to a friend who wanted it more than I did! I can't help it, I'm tender-hearted that way, ha. I did bring the little Kimber 84L Classic (270) home from the SIL's. Will put the Burris 3x9 FFII on it and get back into the 270 Winchester Game! I will keep it/use it until the...

    In the late 90's I had a SA Mod 700 made up in 6.5x284, specifically using the short throated reamer and used nothing but 120/125 gr bullets. It was a bolt of lightning on deer/antelope. That particular rifle was a poor feeder, even after alot of work, that last round would fly out! I traded it...

    When I started out handloading, I had a young family, worked long hours and had very little "just for me" money. I would buy range brass for my old 1917 Enfield, and kept about a 100 loaded for practice. In my 280 (Ruger 77) I just bought 2 boxes of factory loads and hunted/shot with them then...

    Caught Yet "Another" Great Deal!

    Smith said he got the reamers in. He has to do something to his lathe but should start on my rifle in a couple days. Getting jazzed!

    Caught Yet "Another" Great Deal!

    Received the barrel and it was perfect! $90, can't hardly believe it! Can't hardly wait for the finished project either.

    Caught Yet "Another" Great Deal!

    Ha! I don't know how it is now, but over 20yrs ago, in South Africa "the Barrel" is Registered/Licensed, not the Action! Weird I tell you!

    Caught Yet "Another" Great Deal!

    Well, it keeps getting better! It looks like I wouldn't have enough barrel shank to set the barrel back "again". The 338 RPM will need .301 set back in order to clean up the Ackleys neck. Seems the RPMs neck is a bit narrower than the Ackleys. So ended up searching for a replacement barrel...

    45-70 and 350gr Hot Cor?

    I shot the 350 Round Nose in my old Marlin. 53gr IMR 3031 350RN has been a solid deer/elk/bear load for many years. +1 on the Factory Crimp Die, I wouldn't be w/o one, but especially for a levergun.

    Caught Yet "Another" Great Deal!

    I had that Kimber 8400 300 WSM tricked out, put a "like new" but older Leupold 3.5x10 on it and had a brake added. I gathered up all the dies/brass/loaded rounds and extra components and Gifted the rifle to my Son in Law/ He is the Marine Reservist I mention from time to time. He just retired...

    QL for 338/06 Ackley Improved OR 338/270HGT

    Now I have to start all over! I ha. I had my rifle reamed out to the Ackley Improved, which means the smith had to set the barrel back to clean up/make the correct Headspace, plus a crush fit. This, in effect, did away with the longer throat it had before, as an A-Square. My previous load of...
