I have read on several different posts from guys saying that the solid copper bullets (Barnes, Berger, etc) fowl the barrel more than standard copper jacket bullets (Accubond, Interlock, Game King, etc). Is there any validity to that? If so, why? The only thing I can think is because the lead...

******sold******

Make me a reasonable offer. I have no clue what it's worth but if it sounds fair I'll take it. My dad sold his .338 RUM a couple of years ago so it's dead weight to me.

That's probably the funniest thing I've read today! I love it when you see guys at the range with 3 empty boxes of ammo and a group the size of a paper plate and they say, "Yup, shot pretty well today, I'm good."

I am selling my .338 RUM once and twice fired brass and a brand new box of unfired factory ammunition. The green box even comes with the cases. I'm asking $150 and I'll ship it for free.

We have some we're wanting to sell. Not sure how much we have or what it's even worth. I know there's a full box of never fired factory rounds and maybe close to 100 once or twice fired cases. I'll need to count them up and see.

I don't know as I've heard of the 25.06 AI.... I'll need to look that one up. I was hoping you'd respond Mud.

I have an old Remington 700 that I want to customize and since I'm going to re-barrel the rifle anyway, was thinking of going down to a 25.06 from a 30.06 for recoil purposes. I'm hoping that my 2 year old little girl will want to go hunting with me some day and I want to teach her accuracy...

I didn't quite read through the entire thread but I have had some experience with the 30 cal SST's. From my experience they do tend to "explode" on impact. My dad hit a coyote with a 300 WSM at about 100-150 yards and the bullet didn't even go all the way through the animal. Granted it was a BIG...

I am selling my new Weatherby -X Vanguard S2 Black Reaper .338 Winchester Magnum 24" barrel. I've only put 13 rounds through this rifle. This is part of the Weatherby "X" series of firearms in case you didn't know. The Series 2 rifles are guaranteed sub MOA groups if you use premium ammo. I was...

I'm assuming that you are referring to floating and bedding? I'm very familiar with that. Do you have a bedding kit to recommend?

Are these truly "drop in" or will I need to shave the stock in some areas?

Where can I find a reasonably priced lightweight stock?

How am I to measure 15lbs of tension without taking it to a gunsmith? The firing pin is fine, we've seen no abnormalities with the primers. I'm going to clean the you know what out of it before I shoot it again. When we bought the rifle, it was filthy and all of the oil was gummy. I spent the...

I'm going to redo the scope this week. I bought some new mounts (just in case) and I'll take the action out of the stock and refit it to see. Is there anything internal that could be loose? I've never heard of anything like though.
