Rebarrel Opinions
I have a FN action with a mag bolt that is chambered in 30-338 win mag. Don't shoot the 30 mag anymore just cuz I'm old and don't like the thump. Thinking about rebarreling to a 6.5 PRC. Will the long action be a problem doing that? Opinions? -
Construction loans
We are walking away from new construction. Selling the land and moving to somewhere we can afford to live. We have done a lot of work on the land and can sell a a substantial profit. Take the money to support a remodel on an existing home. A lot less headaches.- brokfut

Construction loans
Wife and I are looking to do a construction loan to build a house. Bank is writing the loan at 300K but I think we can do it for 200K. What happens to the left over funds? Does the bank apply them to the principal or do they rewrite the note? Not happy looking at the ARM the are offering...- brokfut

Hornady CX bullets
I just loaded up a bunch of 150 gr CX for my 280 AI. Don't have load data from Hornady but have been advised to use GMX data. I compared data from Barnes, Nosler and the GMX and went out and shot a bunch of groups. There is no rifle range within a 3 hour drive so I set up along side a Forest...- brokfut

N2TRKYS, Please explain why a load has to be a max charge. I don't understand the reasoning.- brokfut

280 AI load
Loaded up some fire formed 280 AI with Barnes TTSX 140 gr and got this group. Started with 53 gr IMR4350 and went up to max of 56.7 gr listed in Barnes data. 53.5 gr was the sweet spot but no pressure signed at max. Everything above 53.5 opened up 1.80 to 2.25. Estimate this load at about...- brokfut

Ok you Oregon deer hunters
I don't know much about the Steens except that it is suppose to be a good unit. I put in for that one but drew Malheur River, which I know nothing about... You know anything about it? -

Chinook on the lower rogue for a mule deer?
Will take a couple of people on the lower Rogue for King Salmon in exchange for a shot at a mule deer. I'm old and can't do the vertical terrain anymore but love being where the game is. Equipped to handle a father/son/daughter/spouse. I live in a 5th wheel so no room to accommodate guests...- brokfut

Pac-Nor Barrels and Services?
I visited their new place and was impressed with the whole operation... they are using WWII machinery. Said they bought new lathes and milling machines and could't get the same degree of precision as their old machines so then acquired old machines, rebuilt them, and are getting great results. -
Pac-Nor Barrels and Services?
I had my 280 Rem rebarreled by them and it is an absolute tack driver. 200 yard groups were sub MOA with 5 different bullet/load combos. They got it the end of last May and it took them about 16 weeks to get it back to me. I'd highly recommend them. -
