The condition isn't spectacular, but I think it's a neat piece

Let me start this by saying that I come from a long line of gun nuts. We also have a hard time getting rid of things, so you never know what might have been passed down for generations... I have come across an old hand reloading tool that I haven't been able to find out much information on. It...

Murf - The Sako is what I'm looking to get in the 222. One of the older L46 actions has been hollering at me. It would also make a fantastic platform for a 221 FB.... adelbridge - I've already got a couple AR's, and one of them is a dedicated varminter with a Timney trigger, heavy barrel, etc...

It seems like everyone has one though! I like to get the less common stuff for some reason. I had a 22-250 AI made by Cooper a while back. Talk about explosive and accurate! Someone offered me considerably more than I had payed for it, so I let it go... My Swift shoots at roughly the same...

I've been wanting a new varmint/predator rifle for a while now. I don't need another rifle in this class, and I have a decent selection to start with. That being said a person can't have too many firearms, or too big of a selection to choose from! I also really like to reload, so a new rifle is...

I picked up this stuff at an auction over the weekend. I had read a little about the cartridge before then, but I'm not at all familiar with it. It all went for less that what I expect the shells are worth, so I figured why not, it didn't seem like anyone else knew for sure what it was either...

I've got an older Knight muzzle loader that I have probably had for close to 10 years, if not longer. It is the "American Knight" model. It is D/T for scope bases, but I have yet to find anywhere that sells any specifically for that model. I'm sure there are other rifles with the same spacing...

Thanks for the reply. I had intended on using the H1000, but the email I got from Berger had load info for the 4831 also, so I figured I'd ask. My Nosler manual says the H1000 was the most accurate powder tested for their heavier bullets, while my Lyman shows a mixture of powders being most...

I'm getting ready to start the process of working up a load for my STW and want to make sure I'm not forgetting something before I get started. I'll be using either H1000 or H4831sc since I already have those on hand. I will also be using 168gr Berger VLD's. Would either of those powders be...

Ok, I finally got my dads 30-06 figured out and in his safe. What a great old gun that is!!! Anyway, I installed a shim under the hanger as suggested, and it has seemed to work pretty well. I used some some worn out 223 brass that I cut the case head off with some shears and then pounded the...

Thanks for all the replies everyone! I have a Leupold 24x target scope that is my "floater" that gets moved from rifle to rifle for load development, lot testing with the rimfires etc. The scope is currently in use getting some loads worked up for a M70 pre-64 in 30-06 that I bought for my dad...

I've got a Ruger #1 also, but it's in 375 H&H, and I can honestly say I haven't bothered shooting that one yet... Thanks for the info!

About a month ago I picked up a nice little Ruger #3 carbine chambered in 22 hornet. I had been wanting a hornet for a while so when I saw this I knew I had to have it. Part of the reason for me wanting a hornet was a very good deal on all the reloading components for the cartridge. For just a...

The main reason for originally choosing MT was because they are working for a survey crew that is checking property lines of some of the large ranch(s). In doing so the two of them are essentially scouting all day. It's not specifically elk that I'm after either. Mule deer, antelope, etc. I'm...

A couple of my friends have headed out to MT in the last week for a job that should last for the next couple months. They are trying to talk me into driving out for a hunt while they are there, which I have no problem with as long as there are tags to be had. I have looked at the MT fish and...

I had heard that I would want to be 170 gr or heavier when dealing with elk or larger sized critters if possible, regardless of caliber. Is that not the case?

Hmmm I knew I would get my fair share of people recommending the 30-06 or to keep the 7mm. If I could get my 7mm to shoot anything over 150 gr I would more seriously consider it. I bought my dad a pre-64 featherweight M70 earlier this year in 30-06 that he will be using for white tail and...

I know I don't NEED another rifle, what I already have will more than cover my hunting needs in North America. What's currently in the safe that would be suitable for whitetail and larger... Winchester 94 30-30 Winchester 86 45-70 Ruger #1 375 H&H Remington 700 .243 Winchester M70...

I've been kicking this idea around for quite a while and I think I've finally talked myself into making some changes in the safe... I've started to accumulate more medium to large caliber hunting rifles than I have a use for, and I would like to thin them down and buy something new. I live in...

That brings up a very good point! I have recently purchased an original 52 C sporter. I make the drive to pick it up at the end of the week...time seems to be at a standstill! It was a tough decision between the B and C, but I went with the C since it was the only 52 sporter to come D/T from...
