    .416 Hawk Bullets on Buff

    When I did expansion testing on Hawk Bullets in my 404J, every single bullet separated the jacket from the core. When I contacted their engineer, he blamed it on yaw. Either via bullet alignment to the bore as part of my reloading methods or not enough twist rate. My expansion test is dry...

    What scope do you trust? Most rugged, dependable rifle scope?

    I'm a Swarovski (1st) and Leupold (2nd) for rifle scopes. When I find a Z6 (Z6i) at a good price, it's go time. Recently snagged a Z5i and equally pleased. I will NEVER...not ever again own a Minox (Blaser Corp is parent). Have had issues with 2 out of 3 of their scopes. Their warranty service...

    Wanted 2-12 Leopold

    Looks so... custom shop not even listed on their website now. Wonder if they'd just swap the reticle in the repair shop? The illuminated B&C is still listed as available on the site.

    404 jeff woodleigh bullets expansion velocity?

    I'll dig through my expansion test photos. I have a 400gr Woodleigh SN, loaded to 2160fps muzzle velocity. Did an expansion test at 50yds. Test was dry magazine, pine 2x4, 5 water jugs to stop. (Had 3 more water jugs just in case - to capture the bullet.) Memory serves it came out at 360gr+/-...

    Tire kicking for a Ruger #1

    @Flewis - do you know if that individual with a #1 in 600JDJ is willing to part ways with it? I have a 500NE #1 and would be interested to talk to them. I've been looking for the 470NE as well. Saw one in GB a long time ago, missed opportunity.

    450 Nitro Express - TC Encore

    Not sure what is viewable... Uploaded 2 photos, only showed 1 (the 2nd photo - on the bullseye.) Then tried to edit the post. Only to show the 2nd photo. Then tried to delete it, it won't. Made a 2nd reply of getting on target (nice group even if just getting on target). That's enough internet...

    450 Nitro Express - TC Encore

    The first photo was getting on target with the scope. The second photo is dialed in (100yds). Disregard the 308Win holes. I shoot small caliber first, then large to save targets. (Both 3 shot groups) The load is Hornady 500gr RN Interlocks stuffed on top of 92grs of IMR-4350, ignited with...

    450 Nitro Express - TC Encore

    Seems everyone is looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist; I decided it was time to get on the bandwagon. In April, I ordered a barrel from SSK Industries in 450 Nitro 3 1/4". My goal was a 500gr at 2150fps. The muzzle brake is only a place holder until my big bore suppressor is...

    For Sale Frederick Beesley Left-hand 416 Rigby With Scope

    Initial bidder likely put a starting bid in at 7500. Then, went back and increased their bid to cover being outbid at a later point, especially if the end time is when they are at work or traveling and can't follow the auction.

    CCI #34 in large volume "magnum" cases?

    In my convo with CCI: #34 primer was designed to prevent slam fires in semi-auto/full auto firearms. I asked if that meant they were used for 300Win Mag ball powder ammo. That was a NO. 308win ball powder was what they were designed for to ensure proper ignition in all conditions (Arctic to...

    A little shooting off the sticks tonight at 50yds. This is (2) 3 shot groups using 340gr North Fork SS in the 404Ruger. First 3 shots with Reloder 15 (1 top left and 2 bottom right) and the second 3 shots with MR-2000 (1 top right and and 2 bottom left). Neither horrible but I've shot A LOT...

    Have you considered other actions? I know Browning made WSSM rifles and their bolt utilizes an M16 style extractor. Quite reliable.
