Can’t believe this hasn’t sold yet. Bumping up for a great guy to do business with.

That is one cool looking critter

I didn’t have any pressure or extraction issues.

I had a friend who is a machinist build a funnel for me out of aluminum - he then fitted a 12” acrylic drop tube onto it. I made a stand for it and slow pour powder through it. It works a little bit better than any vibratory method I could come up with. As far as methods that I tried - I...

I sold off a few things to finally buy the ones I wanted. I had a pair of SLC 10x42 Binos that I sold along with a nice Steyr rifle, my old swarovski laser guide, and then I still put some money with it. Wish I had bought them to start with instead of buying the two seperate units.

I got the Swarovski 10x42 O-range last year. A friend of mine has the Leica’s and so did our guide in Africa. They both liked mine better than theirs as far as the optics go. I like them better also, but know there are those that do like the Leica’s better. Furtherest I’ve ever ranged -was a...

I meant 2392 FPS - about 30 FPS jump. Very satisfied with the H4350 - though I was surprised at the speed. Shouldn’t be shooting as fast as Varget, especially with a mild load. In my experience (and from what I read) h4350 is supposed to be more temp stable than Varget. I’m pretty settled on...

Did this rifle end up selling?

Any help on a recommendation for solids would be greatly appreciated. They seem to be very expensive- so I’d like to make a good educated guess pretty quickly. thank y’all for the help.

I’ve got about 100 rounds remaining of factory Remington 400 grain Barnes solids. They don’t shoot nearly as well in the rifle but do fine out to 100 yards. Around 3-4” groups. The velocity from this load is around 2427. I’m satisfied with the way they shoot, but they shoot at a point of aim...

I started with with 400 gr Swift a-frames and Varget. Working up to the maximum load showed no pressure signs and powder didn’t seem to be compressed, but velocity was only around 2310 (using Labrador). Groups were good - around 1.5” at 100 yards. I went one grain over max charge and groups...

I purchased a 416 Rem Mag from a member here and really have enjoyed shooting it. Winchester M70 with 24” barrel, using Swarovski z6 1-6x24 scope. I’m used to reloading precision (long range) rifle cartridges and many other standard magnum rifle cartridges, but never have had any experience...

Bumping. This is a great guy to deal with.
