I got some good out of the AGI video on Win 1897 shotguns, 22 years ago. He is still alive?

1800 fps ? Thanks! I could do that out to 110 yards. I have killed deer at 625 yards with 6.5-06 and 7mmRM, but over the last 3 years, half the deer have been 100 to 200 yards. For 2021 I have (2) 6.5x54r Vostok rifles built, and a 260 Rem. I have (4) deer tags, but the wife only wants (3)...

I bought a rolling block that had been converted to 38 special with a custom .358 rifle barrel. I reamed it out to 357 max. I could get the 200 gr accubond going 2228 fps at the muzzle. The range I could hit something is 360 yards, but the terminal velocity would be 1040 fps. I worry the...

I build 3 or 4 rifles in September and drive them 900 miles to sight in and hunt in October. Before I leave on the trip, I load at least 50 rounds for each rifle. Sometimes I just have to hunt with the ammo I brought.

My experience with Berger VLD hunting: I must shoot the deer many times to get it to fall down. MY experience with Accubonds: I only have to shoot the animal once to get it to fall down, but it is not dead, and I have to cut it's throat. My experience with Nos Bal Tips: The deer falls down dead.

I got Quickload nearly 20 years ago. It is right on the money for some powders, but my 8lb jug of H4350 needs 4% more powder than QL says it will. Some powders, like my jug of Varget, are better than 1% for predicting what the chrono will say. For the past couple years I have been using anti...

The Rem700 short action got a barrel only 20" long... that is cutting a lot off the barrel blank.. My notes from Oct 18, 2020, 900 miles from home, alone in the sage brush: 1) The 250 sav is a Rem 700, Lilja 10" twist 3g, trigger tech trigger, PTG bolt, PTG recoil lug, Talley rings with...

I have used my 250 Savage reamer to build (3) rifles. I shot a deer with the Rem700 on Oct 24, 2020. I used Nosler 100 gr NBT bullets on the first two Savages, but in the Rem I was using 115 gr NBT when I shot the deer.

I shot a mule buck Oct 24 at 4 degrees and windy at sunup over the hay bales at 220 yards. I have a pre WWII Mosin Nagant I added a Bartlein barrel in 25 Krag Ackley with 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip with 47.5 gr IMR-4451 making 3031 fps over the chrono. The Swavourski 3x10 was down at 3x and I...

I have two co ax presses in the reloading room, and two parter presses on a board that goes in the vehicle or next to my computer. In any case, i am priming with the RCBS automatic priming tool. I own a lot of other presses and priming systems.... that gather dust.

Thanks for noticing. I built a 308 Arisaka in 2016. I get them confused, but I have labeled my images:) So I know this is the 257 Roberts in 2017. I had to fool with the lathe to get it to cut the 1.5mm threads on the barrel tennon. I put in a Timney trigger [mucho mods to the trigger guard]...

In 2001 I got a 1907 Sav 99 in 303 Sav with a box of shells for $78. The bore is rough and the guy wanted to sell that off his gunshow table, take his kids and go home. I was too cheap to use the 303 ammo, so I put in 30-30 brass with the bullet backwards. As you would expect, accuracy was...

Fotis, I bought that the minute you posted that. It is still up, so he may have more, or he may be taking orders for thing he does not have.

I have jugs of H4350 that took years to find in the dark times. But in 2016 and again in 2017, I will hunt with 4451 and 4166. Every year I build rifles. This year; 308, 257 Roberts, 6.5-06, 7mmRemMag, and 250 Sav. The 250 Sav may get some CFE223 [not great temp stability, but high velocity...

Is there going to be any in time for hunting season?
