custom rifle suggestions
I do almost all of my own work. But the devil is in the details. @p_ham has shown the attention to detail that merits the accolades he has received. -

Ebonizing Walnut
My ex-wife stripped the finish off my old Savage 110 wood stock. Once she got the brown paint excuse of a stain off of it, we were amazed at the grain in the wood. She used some white oak stain and polyurethane. I have another wood stock for a 110 that I want to try Shou-sugi-ban on. It's... -

Restoring Accuracy, Remington 700
You could always do the same as a radiator cap replacement. Where you take off the radiator cap and pull a different vehicle in. Put radiator cap on. In this case, remove the Remington emblem and put it on a Savage. Lol -

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
Ditto 7X57 Mauser. I've been loading to the reloading manual for my daughter's rifle. She's recoil shy.- std7mag

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
Also, @Bullshot , the ammo factories are supposed to keep loads safe. Look at cartridges like the 257 Roberts, 45-70, and 45 Colt. There are different pressure levels for those cartridges depending on the firearm being used. Factory doesn't know what firearm you have. Or what you're likely...- std7mag

One case for all your rifles
On the 30-06 case i have (2) 25-06, a 280 Rem and a 270 Win. Oddly enough all of them are Ruger rifles. On the 7X57 Mauser case, my daughter is shooting a Mauser in 7X57 Mauser. I have a Ruger in 257 Roberts, and a Savage in 257 Roberts AI. And now i have 2 Weatherby Magnums also. Oops...- std7mag

Ready for a new 7 mag load
I picked up Norma brass for my 257 WBY. Holding up good so far. For my 7mm WBY, I managed to get some Peterson brass. I have 5 loads on some of them, and are holding up well also. I use a variety of different brass for the 7mm Rem Mag. The rifle likes it on the high side. I usually get 5-6...- std7mag

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
Some years ago (7-10), Remington had a recall on their green box 270 Win ammo. They ended up being loaded hot. One of the guys I work with had the chamber deform and mechanism lock up on his Remington pump action rifle. I found the recall, and showed it to him. He forgot about it and that...- std7mag

Milk jug challenge.
Bowling pins work well also. Picked up a bunch from the local alley. Their old used ones were going for 25¢ each. Dropped $10 on them. Things hold up really well!! Shoot everything from .410 with #7.5 shot through 7mm WBY at them. Harder to hit than a milk jug. When done, pick them up...
