    358 D&R Magnum

    My thought indeed. End up with a 350 wells express, dies are available from CHtool. Here’s a dummy round I made for my Brno 602 350 wells.

    35 Whelen on plains game

    Get a Sierra manual or the Sierra reloading app; It’s got full power whelen data in it. I’m shooting a 200 gr ttsx with accurate 2495, crimped lightly in the bottom groove as it’s a compressed charge. I think I’m a grain or half grain less than sierra’s accuracy load with the ttsx and still...

    The giraffe, a floor pedestal mount

    I got to see this in person before the pedestal was completed. It’s astonishing to say the least.

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    I believe it was Fred wells, but that is correct. There is no makers mark on this rifle, and the caliber was laser engraved onto the barrel.

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    Even the 200 grain TTSX shoots flatter than any 308 I’ve seen out of my 21” barreled whelen. Charts show it has plenty of velocity out to 500 yards.

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    Ch tool did notify me that dies are available. Just waiting on a price now. I’m going to add crossbolts to the stock and probably pillars before I shoot it.

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    That information is invaluable, I appreciate it. For bigger stuff I’ll probably try the 275 grain cutting edge Maximus. They’re available and surprisingly affordable. I looked at woodleigh but I believe they’re still hard to get here.

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    I have some 200 grain Barnes and other assorted 35 cal bullets for my whelen and 35 Remington. I’ve considered the 225 grain AccuBond but am afraid it will be too soft. Would be a hell of a conversation piece on a group pronghorn hunt though! The 200 grain ttsx would be a laser beam as well.

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    Thanks @Bob Nelson 35Whelen. I think I read that article several years back when I initially thought about buying the rifle. I’ll probably try some big cutting edge bullets in it, I know they make some specialty bullets in 35 caliber. Rifle has a 12 twist barrel, and was either cleaned very well...

    350 Wells. Anyone have one?

    A local gun store had a Brno Zkk 602 chambered in 350 Wells for years. Whoever barreled it did a fantastic job, even milled an integral under lug into the barrel and left a nice base for a rear sight if one chose to add one. The stock looks like a modified factory job - not near as nice but...

    1917 Barrel in 404 Jeffery?

    I wish I’d taken pictures. Not much at all. My box was riveted together, I knocked the rivets out, did some grinding on the end pieces to put them on the ends of the box instead of inside, and welded it up. I’d buy another riveted box and do it again if I had to

    1917 Barrel in 404 Jeffery?

    I’ve got a 1917 eddystone sitting on the bench I’ve opened up and stretched the magazine for a 404. Working through other projects before I get back to it, but if memory serves me I decided on a preferred barrels blank. If google is fighting you search for a .423 caliber rather than 404. 1917s...

    One for Franz! The 470 Capstick!

    That caliber stamp is likely the most satisfying thing I’ll see today.

    Texas Nilgai - Rifle choices

    A friend of mine uses a 338 RUM with accubonds as his guide and loaner rifle. He told me clients have had great luck with the 300 PRC as well, and he recommends a 300 or 338. I told him I’d like to use my 375 on one and he said they’ve lost more shot with a 375 than anything else. I imagine shot...

    Mossberg Shockwave

    I own one of these (bought it for snakes) and it’s a fun handful. My take on 3” buckshot - don’t do it. It’s fine for shooting from the hip, but don’t try to aim with it. I was trying to kill a pig with mine stuffed full of 000 3” Remington off of palo duro canyon. No pigs were spotted, so I...

    300 Dakota Brass Wanted

    That stuff is non existent and prolly always will be! If I ever get around to resizing nosler brass I’ll let y’all know how it works. The difference in rim diameter won’t matter on the CRF rifle.

    300 Dakota Brass Wanted

    I have a buddy in the same boat. I’m thinking about resizing, trimming, and neck turning 28 nosler brass and trying that. He’s got a pile of it. I know the rim is slightly smaller but it’s still a 404 based case. 30 nosler is close but I think just short enough to not work.

    Guns broken in shipping

    Good luck with fed ex. I shipped a rifle (Remington mountain rifle) from Texas to Washington last fall. We packed the rifle in a case, then into a cardboard box with extra padding. Box arrives late (paid $112 to ship this thing) with tire tracks on it. Guy pulls the case out, it’s crushed to the...

    2024 Deer Season

    After hunting hard in the morning with some close friends and not spotting any shooters, I found this guy bedded not far from my house. Deer just weren’t getting out of bed. Killed him 30 minutes before I was supposed to be at my son’s first birthday party. Was only 5 minutes late. I told my...

    Pre-64 300 H&H scope rings

    Not trying to force Talley onto you anymore, but I believe they do make 34mm rings in their detachable version, be it the quick release, screw lock, or fixed steel rings. Not the aluminum lightweight one piece rings however.

    Pre-64 300 H&H scope rings

    rear hole spacing is what to measure, should be .435. It’s shorter on the h&h actions. Here’s what I have on mine https://www.talleymanufacturing.com/product/steel-base-for-winchester-model-70-435-pre-64/

    Pre-64 300 H&H scope rings

    Do you know what year you have? My ‘48 h&h has both holes. I bought Talley bases and rings because I got them cheap, was going to go with leupold quick detach bases.

    Reloading Old Nosler Bullets

    I’ve used old partitions with new interchangeably and never noticed a difference significant enough to change a load. After all, I’m not lobbing partitions at game at extended ranges.

    Why did you buy a 6.5 Creedmoore?

    Not to derail the 6.5 thread, but I’ve bought ammo for my safari rifles in the same manner. There’s been times you can get loaded ammo cheaper than bullets and powder.

    CRF M-70 416 Rem Feeding

    Is the follower different? I had to modify one pretty heavily building a 404 Jeffery. With the follower in received form you’d stick that third cartridge in and all rounds would spit out the top. It wasn’t pushing the rounds to the side enough I guess, reprofiling it to match the fatter 404...

    I hate a thief!!

    I think I had this happen after selling a Remington mountain rifle to a guy across the country last year. Except the box wasn’t tampered with, just ran over. Was crushed with tire marks. I had it in a hard plastic case, with packing material inside both box and case. Thank goodness the rifle was...

    Dakota 76 vs pre 64 custom

    I’ve bought a handful of pre64 70s for fractional prices compared to a Dakota, last one was a few days ago. A 1948 300 h&h for $683 delivered. The stock was refinished and barrel bluing worn but in otherwise fantastic shape. I’m scrapping the stock and barrel and building a 375. With that said...

    Pig/hog damage to crops

    That’s my experience here as well. We’ve killed some big mule deer during archery season in my family’s Milo fields. Actually have better luck spot and stalk archery hunting than I do during rifle season. With the right wind you can crawl right up to them, or get ahead of where they’re feeding...
