I picked up an M-S full stock a couple years ago. I have had good luck with Norma Oryx 156 gr, very accurate, and Privi-Partisan brass. Strangely, the Privi-Partisan factory loaded ammo would not feed from the magazine - it was too short, and could not make it up the feeding ramp. Overall length is very important with these rifles it seems.
Good luck!
Haven't fired it yet, I have loaded 156 oryx in norma brass. Had no hope of feeding at the 2.894" in the norma data. Ended up at 3.06" and feeds perfectly and still has a fair jump to the lands. It's a F.Beesley retailed rifle built in 1929 and sold in 1932 for £16

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
