    .257 100 Gr. BT's actually found!

    I think this is the first box I've seen in at least 3 years. I box of 50 on the shelf was $26 with tax. Double what the last one cost me but I guess "unobtainium" is pricey. CL

    The latest from St. Paul....

    So here's what the "back door politicians" are up to in St Paul. I suspect it is the same in many places, unfortunately. Sooner or later, if we cant find positive ways to fight stuff like this the uninformed and wrongly informed will find a way to take our sport away from us. Cant believe the...

    Shooting themselves in the foot.....

    I usually make one or two trips a year to a local Sportsmans Wharehouse, No football to keep me occupied on sunday anymore..... I did note a variety of loaded Nosler ammo on the shelf. Little to no bullets. A box of Nosler custom 180gr 300 WSM was priced at $109 and change..... CL

    Shillen Barrels- would you?

    The header asks the question. If you were buying a Savage pre-fit, chambered barrel, would you buy a Shillen, knowing there are more expensive barrels? Anything else comparable in the $300 price range? CL

    Saving my 250-Savage- is it worth it? Talk me out of it.

    So - talked with my Smith this afternoon- he hasnt been able to find a bolt for my FN Mauser commercial bolt or action (no surprise) I havent either. He does have an Interarms "Mark X" 30-06 rifle for sale. In many ways this might be the way to go. I would get a theoretically good action and...

    FN Mauser Bolt.....Pics of Broken bolt added.

    Hey all- I find myself looking to replace the Bolt body in my FN Belgian made Mauser. Ive looked at all the usual Google spots. Im not interested in a Military or reforged "bent" bolt. That limits me to old Browning,Weatherby, Herters or other imported actions. Any body have one or any leads...

    Guidelines for forming Brass from another case.....

    Specifically of course, for the 250 Savage. I know it can be done from a 22-250, but are there other cases? And if so is it just a matter of trial and error, or are there guide lines some where? Seems like there are cases out there for the 6.5 Creed... I probably wont do it, just because the...

    Ultimate Slam VS other VX Freedom Models

    Not to give a way the deal (although I guess I am arent I?) Optics Planet is running a deal on some Leupold stuff including a good price (seems to me any way) on The Ultimate Slam Model. Opinions on this model, how its different, Why its cheaper, is it worthwhile from real world experience would...

    A threat to your hunting and beautiful wild places - Invasive species grasses....

    This is worth listening too. If you enjoy the prairies and Sage Brush country you need to understand this and whats going on. 1.3 million acres a year are lost to invasive species that do not feed game, or maintain the soil. 75% of that lost is attributed to (in this report any way) to...

    Nosler bullets with some one elses Data-

    Believe it or not- I still have some 100 Gr BT's left. Many of you know that I have been loading for a model 99 1:!4 twist so I picked up some 87gr Speers. Works fine in the 99. One of the loads that Speer lists for both 87 and 100 Gr Speer Hot Cores lists CFE223. Unfortunately, Nosler manual...

    Dads hunting maps....reminissing

    Recently I had a chance to get together with my cousin and reminisce about one of our hunting trips together as kids 40 years ago. The conversation revolved around a copy of a sportsmans atlas that I have kept since 1980. It is basically a plot map broken down by county that showed all the...

    Tesla stole my bullets...?

    So if I read correctly, there is no more lead being mined in this country. Got me to wondering... I know all these electric cars are not run on led-acid batteries (are they?). But is some portion of my ammo being appropriated for all these batteries? Whatever- the politics are all wrong, not...

    So - in an effort to save you all some boring reading.... I will include a link to my original posts related to this question. Synopsis is as follows. My FN Mauser actioned 250 Savage was giving me trouble last summer. A combination of a reloading error, (3 grains or so over max), old brass...

    Badgers- How/ where would you hunt one?

    Okay- call me weird but I have some history with Badgers. Calling in a Coyote and taking it w/ the 250 is on my bucket list, but so is a Badger. When I was a kid we had quite a few of them, but I havent seen a Road killed Badger in forever. No alfalfa around east river anymore and no...

    Well listening actually. Below is a link that came up in my you-tube feed. Its actually a reading of a story written by Jim Corbett. He actually hunted several tigers that took to attacking humans in India in the early 1900's Story starts off a little slow but I found it an interesting...
