Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted on here, but I just traded my V-Rod in that I've had for 17 years. She was a good one, but I think I've upgraded here: Triumph Rocket 3 GT. It's a beast! 2458cc, 165 hp, and believe it or not, the thing actually handles better than the old bike...

My P14 Enfield is already barreled with a 26" McGowen barrel and chambered for this. Will be my second Enfield :)

I had to look up what an "RSM" and "RSI" were.... I have a M77 Mk II International which I think is the RSI with the full stock in .270 Win. As mentioned above, the trigger is horrible on it. I've killed one deer with it and it basically sits on the shelf. But, I see that Timney makes a...

Well I just ordered two boxes of the 350gr TSX bullets from Barnes. I'll load up them and some 300's and test them on something....not sure what...to see how they hold together. What do the .378 Weatherby guys shoot that hold together?

Oh, I see Barnes has a TSX in 350. I'll get some!

What 350gr bullets do you guys recommend? I'd throated the rifle out extra long just for 350's, but I worked up a load I liked with 300's and never got around to the 350's.

Those are the two bullets I've loaded. I'd hoped they would do the trick :)

Hi Gang, I've been on here for 2-3 years and made a lot of friends. I've still not gotten over to Africa. I read everything and lurk a lot....I want a Dagga Boy. That's it. Anything else is secondary. As some of you may have read before, I built a rifle on a M1917 action in .375 Weatherby...

Today I got out my case trimmer and grabbed a case out of one of the boxes of Norma brass that look older than me. Before doing anything, I mic'd the case. It was actually slightly longer than the loaded ones I had but still under the OAL length on the drawing. But, not by much. Before...

Well, the plot thickens. I'm not 100% sure what's going on yet, but I almost suspect this rifle has a tight chamber. I have cases that Tom gave me (the owner I bought it from) that he had resized and I mic'd them. They seemed pretty much right on the money with the exception that the overall...

Thank you! I have wanted one of these for a long time but never saw any for sale until just recently. I just measured the barrel and it's 17.7". I would have liked double set triggers, and I wish it still had the steel butt plate. At some point in the past somebody put a rubber pad on it...

I tried this and it did exactly this!

Long ago I went to pick up a girl at her house to go on a date. Her dad was cleaning his Hawes single action .44 magnum revolver (she laughingly told me later that it was to see my reaction). I told him "Interesting, never heard of that brand. Looks like a Ruger. I have a S&W M-629." He...

Howdy and welcome aboard! You already live in the right place...time to go for it and share some pictures with us!

I'll try that. I've got a bullet puller.
