    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Amazed with the new rifle

    When I had my old rifle rebarreled by PacNor I really expected it to be a good rifle but this thing is amazing. Neighbor and I went to the mountain yesterday to do some shooting. I had a mottly collection of 280 Remington ammo that I wanted to fire form for the new 280 Ackley. 140 grain nosler...

    Am I being lied to?

    I went into my local gun store today with my newest rifle project looking for Lin-Speed to touch up a couple of dings in the stock. Asked the main man at the gun counter what he thought the rifle might be worth for insurance purposes. He looked it all over and pontificated that it wouldn't be...

    Think I hit the mother lode

    Lost my faher-in-law on December 28th. I was granted the privilege of providing a new home to 2 of the best rifles I've ever wanted to own. One is a Winchester model 88 in 243. The other is a Springfield Gerand National Match. What ever shell I do with classics like these?

    RV head scratcher

    I acquired a new-to-me 2018 Keystone Couger 30rls 4 days ago. I went out yesterday to hook up the cable tv to the unit and cannot find anywhere to connect the coax. I have an RV pedestal with 50 amp and cable and the CATV works when connected directly to the tv. There is a "Satellite Prep"...

    Helpful accessory for my RCBS press

    For 27 years I have been complaining about having to sweep up all the spent primers from the bench top and the floor after running a batch of cases thru the resizing/depriming die. Went looking through my stash of "I use it someday" junk buckets and found just the thing to fix the problem. Now...

    Critical Dimensions?

    Bought new 338 win mag brass last week and the Sierra Reloading manual says the case length is 2.500 inches and trim length is 2.490. Just how critical are those numbers? I ran all the cases through the RCBS 30-338 sizing die and they all were nearly perfect at 2.500. I trimmed them to 2.494...

    COAL conundrum

    I have been loading up some 140 Accubonds and Ballistic tips for my 280 Remington. I have to load them pretty short to get them to fit in the magazine box. I am measuring 0.1348 off the lands. That seems to me to be a pretty long jump. 140 and 150 Partitions are loading .035 off which...

    Moving to a one gun battery (maybe)

    I have a dedicated elk rifle that was custom built just for me. It is a wildcat 30-338 on a Mauser FN action with a Karl Gustav 24" pipe. Super accurate and with Limb saver recoil pad and the KDF muzzle break it backs up like a .243. I also have a 280 Remington on the same FN action built...

    Who is the goose guru with answers?

    I have heard that geese will land in a field if there is evidence that geese have been using the field. If a field has lots of droppings on the ground and some decoys will the droppings help bring the birds down?
