My Weatherby Vanguard finally came in and I need to dial in pet loads. The only rifle powder I have is IMR4895 (for 6.5 swede through 30-06) and Varget (for .223 Bushmaster Predator.) Ample supply of .308 150 gr M2 pulls, 168gr. SMK, 180gr ProHunter, 190 gr SMK, 165gr GamePro, and some Nosler...

I'm new to long range marksmanship. Nothing past 300 yards. My late grandfather was a gun maker and my late father had his "blackbelt" (lol)in NRA Camp Perry Hi Power. So it IS in my blood. Just not sure how far I want to take this. I am a reloader. 190gr SMK's and IMR4895 looks like a good...

I just bought a Weatherby Vanguard 300 Win Mag. I'm curious if that line of scopes have any problems with holding zero.

I have a Bushnell Banner 6 x 24 or a 5 x 20 Nikon Monarch. Curious to whether they can hold zero from the recoil.

Found this at Bud's for $500.00. I decided on the 300 Winmag. 26" barrel. They have all the Weatherby calibers from .240 to .300. Including the new 6.5 -300. The .375 was a little more at around $600.00.

Check to see if the front sight is worn down. A friend of mine had a Mosin that shot maybe 3 feet high at 100 yards.

Looking at a .375 H&H for $600.

Thanks for the kudos. I always thought mannlicher and 6.5x55 were a perfect match. Note the Springfield mod on the bolt.

I'm looking at the CZ550. Tikka and Sauer 100. I don't know of any other manufacturer's except for Ruger. btw, thanks for the Kudo's. Grandaddy would appreciate it.

Absolutely!

Thank You!

I have enjoyed this rifle for better part of my life. My grandfather sporterized it back in the 30's. I want to leave it to my nephew while the barrel is still in good shape. I have dies, hundreds of cases, and 3 generations of reloading recipes. I'd like to replace it for myself with another...

I don't that much about the Creedmore, but I've shot a Swede for the past 40 years. I know the Swede's potential is not realized due to the older mauser actions. Would a modern action with optimized reloads be comparable?

It is chambered for the 6.5x55 Swede as well. I'm giving that serious consideration.

My late great grandfather re-barreled what I believe is an old High Wall action, with a homemade bull barrel, chambered in .22 Hornet. (The barrel was a Ford axle in a previous life). He added a handmade copy of a 1 piece Redfield (I think) scope mount. Topped it with a Weaver J4 scope. The...

I bought a M98 Chilean Mauser "in the white," chambered in .308 back in the mid-nineties. I've run about a thousand rounds through it. Mil surplus and reloads without any problems. Mine is a Styer....one of the slickest bolt actions I've ever had. It's to my understanding, the Chilean military...

I'm new to these pistols. I haven't decided on case hardened or nickel. Please enlighten me.

I keep hearing about the advancement of long range accuracy with the .260, 6mm and 6.5 mm. When does muzzle velocity come into play. I've heard a .264 Win Mag is very hard on barrels. Not so much on Weatherby Mags, .300 Win Mags or 7mm Rem Mags. I realize quality of steel is a factor. What's the...

Great place to start.......Thank you, Gentlemen.

Both actually. The slide is noticeably softer with the hammer cocked, but still much stiffer than my very new Combat Elite.
