MY 1909 Parker. I like it a lot :)

I have a Model 70 Super Grade in 7mm Rem Mag and used it to take the biggest deer I've ever taken. It wasn't a great shot, but the 7 had enough zoot to still put him down for good. I really like Model 70's. A couple years ago I came across a pair of new ones on Guns America or International...

I hope to get my Cape Buffalo now in the next four years...with either my .375 Weatherby M1917 or my .460 Weatherby M1917 :)

I'm not sure. Maybe not. The .450 Jeffrey and the .460 Weatherby are basically the same thing. Only real difference is the Weatherby has a belt. Way back in the 1950's, Roy Weatherby took the .416 Rigby case, added a belt, and necked it down to .378. The thing was basically nuclear. He...

.460 Weatherby. I'm building one, right now, on an Enfield M1917 action, with an A-Square stock with two mercury recoil reducers. We'll see how hard it beats me :) Ballistics are hard to beat....

I'm building an A-Square Hannibal clone in .460 Weatherby right now. Magazine will hold three plus one in the tube....I figure four is enough for a turn bolt. My original A-Square clone is a .375 Weatherby which I think is an excellent cartridge. I've put about 60-80 .375 H&H's out of it and...

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 MV^2 Momentum = MV So really, they're both velocity dependent. I will agree that once you start getting up there in velocity that it does blow stuff up. I really like the .264 Winchester on deer, but it blows them up much more than a .270 Winchester does. I use a .270...

For anyone that wants to compute their pet load.... Energy in foot pounds = 0.5 * (bullet weight in grains / 7000) * (velocity)^2 / 32.17 Example: .375 Weatherby with 300gr at 2885 ft/s (I've chrono-graphed two of mine and got 2885 and 2889 ft/s) Energy = (0.5)*(300/7000)*(2885)^2 / 32.17...

Luvthunt, I went on their site and didn't see this one. Does it have another model name?

Hard to argue $180!

Hi Gang, I just loaded some .460 Weatherby Magnum rounds in my old trusty RCBS Rock Chucker Press. The .458 Lott I loaded in it was pushing it, but the .460 Roy was really too long for this press. I had to stick the bullet up into the die with my right hand, then feed the case into the shell...

I love the .264 Winnie. It's NUCLEAR on white tail deer :)

"It's better to burn out, than fade away!" - The Kurgan (who might have stolen it from Joan Jett....) The Kurgan is much cooler than Joan Jett....

It sure is pretty!

Hard to pick just three!

I know they're ugly, but I'm building my second rifle with an A-Square Coil-Check stock. They just work at mitigating recoil. I was going to do a .460 Weatherby...and I guess I still could since I haven't reamed the chamber yet...and have a set of dies for it. But had settled on the .458 Lott...

I have one of the later MK XXII's...the bolt action which is really an Anshutz 164 (which itself is excellent...I also have one of them that's older than me in .22magnum) with a Weatherby stock in .17 HMR. I really like it. I didn't realize they only made them a couple years and discontinued...

I have an Accumark in .270 Weatherby and love it. It's a tack driver, and very fast. I shoot 130's at over 3300 ft/s with it. I've only ever had one deer take one step with it, and that was a bad shot on my part. Every other one they're dead before they hit the ground. I'd orignally bought...

I'm an aerospace engineer. Just got a Colt Walker. I love guns. Building a .458 Lott Enfield right now. Having a custom reamer made for it. Sounds like I need to open a bullet making company. I've read all the theory. It's not difficult. Could I sell enough big bores to you guys to make a...

I love Model 70's! I have a 7mm-08 Featherweight, a 7mm Rem Mag Custom Sporter Super Grade (killed my biggest white tail with it), a .264 Win Mag Super Grade curly maple (one of my favorites!), and a .270 Win Super Grade curly maple which is beautiful but seems to be jinxed as I never see a...

Rebated rim....

I like Talley, but my 'smith advised me not to use the QD type so mine are all bolt on and I carry a screwdriver...

I've contacted JGS and requested the drawing. Will let you know what they send me.

Wow! That's one big hole! I'm going to machine my action for scope bases and have a set of Talley's for it. I'll try open sights first and we'll see how bad it is before I try a scope on it :) I did spend the money and got a nice New England Custom Gun rear sight for it (along with their...

So I talked with my Smith today and I am going to spend the money and have a custom reamer made. It will be basically a .450 Watts with the case part extended slightly and the throat made to be close to the .458 Win Mag extended 0.3" and a half inch of freebore beyond that. Totally custom .450...

So .357 the mountain lion and don't call the cops. The End.

I like the Bombay Saphire. But Gilby's will do in a pinch :)

After all this, I'll call my smith. I might just pay the $200 and get a custom reamer made. :)

I hunt with an M1A (Civilian form of M14) National Match model that is about 14 pounds loaded with a full mag. You get used to it. My .375 Roy is 13 pounds loaded. Just gotta Hulk Up a little :)

My .458 Lott enfield. It's the only other custom biggie I have

That's beautiful! I was thinking to try to get one just like it but in .500 NE, but you've definitely upped the game with this one! Eagerly waiting for your shooting reports. Some videos would be nice :)

I really like .375 Weatherby, and it's what I built my custom Enfield "Hannibal" on. Mine has a 30" barrel, and some guys have said it's too long. But I see lots of pictures on here of guys with suppressed rifles that are longer than mine. I get 2889 ft/s with 300gr bullets. I don't plan to...

Really excellent info here, Riflecrank! Thank you! I copied all of this and sent it to my 'smith.

Matt, that is smart. So maybe I'd take my .458 Lott Enfield to compliment my .375 Wby Enfield. Makes sense if something happens to the big boomer. You'd have the Super Boomer for backup. I was originally thinking if I took two, it'd be the .375 Roy and a .30-06 or .264 Winchester for...

Been looking at some surplus Hummers to customize :)

Bearkat, that's what I drive! Take my 2500 Cummins!

Poco, I was figuring on doing the same thing when I finally get to go. Take my .375 Weatherby that I built and use 300gr A-Frames on everything. One gun, one load. Keeps it simple :)

I have my claw extractors beveled on the front edge so they'll snap over. But you "can" squeeze the middle of the claw extractor that is not machined that way to snap over the case rim. But I figure I'd never remember to do that if a big beastie is charging me, so grind the front edges so they...

I have a giant pile of top soil. Has worked for 25 years :)

This is kind of crazy. I went into a Rolex dealer on Maui and he had tons of watches...but I didn't know you couldn't actually buy one. I have a Breitling Super Ocean that I like a lot. I simply ordered it from a registered and verified shop. No fuss, no muss. Wear it every day. I like the...

You're right. It would just save me trimming cases that I form from Hornady Basic Belted Magnum :)

I may just wind up paying the extra $175 and having a custom reamer made that I will own. If I do, I'd rent it to guys on here. Have to see what my 'smith comes back with. Everything I read says all Lott reamers do the extra 50/1000" case length for the full 2.85", but the websites just show...

You need a barrel for that project! Give you a Lott to do! (Bad Dad Joke....) :)

Rez, I'd say you're about 90% there with this rifle already. The most difficult part is machining the feed rails. It's very tedious. My 'smith said he had to walk away from the project several times as it was aggravating him. But, he took mine from .30-06 to .375 Wby. Yours shouldn't need...

Of them all, the Ackley is probably the best. It's actually got straight neck, and you can fire the other two (three if you count the Winchester in there) in it. But I don't know where you get headstamped brass for it. It's why I went with the Lott.

Sweet setup! I love Model 70's! My own .375 is a little older....started with a M1917 Enfield action. Had to use an ugly composite stock, though, as the stock I wanted isn't made in wood anymore. At least not that I could find....replica of an A-Square Hannibal. Hard to beat a .375! Mine...

Heaviest I've ever used in .308 calibre is 200gr. Use the Sierra Match Kings in my .300 Winchester. Very accurate. 180 is the heaviest I've used on game. 240 is interesting :)

Well, I guess it's kind of bad to hunt children...... Being sarcastic...Ha ha! I read the article. But the headline isn't worded the best...made me think of "Lord of the Flies" :) So a 17 year old can't hunt there now? Good grief....

Hi Everyone, So my .458 Lott Enfield project is finally making some headway. Time to ream the chamber. So my issue is, the standard .458 Lott is 2.80" in overall length, which is .050" shorter than the parent case. Why did Jacques do that? All I can figure is he blew out a .375 H&H case and...

Wundy Bob! (Never did know what that meant....the one guy in the white outfit yelled it....probably Arabic for "Ouch!" ) :)
