Like the first generation ADL rifles in standard calibers that keep recoil manageable. Does someone have one just sitting in their gun safe?

[email protected] Allan is the guy who has responded to my questions at the above address. I found him to be pretty detailed and specific in his replies to my very specific questions; though I did not always agree with his conclusions but that is what makes life interesting. I am...

John Lazzeroni is a new forum member in about the last 4 months so hopefully he’ll chime in on your posting. I own 2 Warbirds and another Lazzeroni short magnum chambering. One Warbird is a 12 twist and the other is a 14 twist both with 27” Lilja barrels. I did not buy either rifle from...

I had one of these rifles built by a well known PA gunsmith, really nice handy package. It didn't take any special skills to load 180 grain Nosler partitions to 3000 FPS (24") and I usually got them to shoot 3/4" five shot groups if I had a good "trigger day." Off I was to BC and Alberta for...

What about taking a 270 WSM case and running it through a die making it 6.5WSM? Use your Wyatt box and load it to whatever speed you want to preserve the barrel. Just throwing out ideas.... Good luck

260 Remington: I’ll write how I got there, agree or disagree… Forty years ago Jack O’Connor wrote about all the big game in Africa and North America he either shot himself or witnessed shot with the 7x57 Mauser. Jack wrote the 154 grain bullet was the best all around bullet in the 7mm Mauser...

Similar to RetiredCPO 57.0gr H4350 or IMR4350 with 165gr Nosler ballistic tip...very very easy. Never saw an '06 that didn't like this load...maybe 2825 fps in a 24" barrel

Don: That 140 VLD combo is deadly on what I have seen with whitetails and muleys. I would think the 140 VLD would also make an elk or moose lay down and die quickly, do you guys have hunting experience with this caliber/bullet combo with them?

Gentlemen: In the 6.5-06 category, I have heard (unconfirmed) that the 6.5-270 will hold about 1.75 - 2.0 grains more powder than the 6.5-06 due to the longer neck. Can this be confirmed? This will be a pure hunting rifle with mild recoil (vs. 300 mags) using a 140 grain bullet and I am...

I'm trying to decide between 264 Win Mag and 6.5-06. Can anyone describe the recoil of the 264 WM with some type of comparison, maybe 270 or whatever to give me an idea of what to expect?

30-284 will have nearly the same powder capacity of the 30-06. The 6.5mm-284 is good and so is the 260 Remington which doesn't burn through barrels.

Not many of the high penetrating premium bullets do much opening up on game if you have a broadside double lung shot that neatly enters and exits between the ribs. Now when you hit the front shoulder, and break it, these high penetrators like the TSX are absolutely devastating. The tipped TSX...

I have a 30-06 built on a Remington model 700 BDL action by Mark Bansner with a 24” Lilja fluted barrel wearing a 3x10x42 Swarovski scope in medium-low Leupold dual dove tail mounts. It is a superbly accurate sporter that weighs 8 pounds with sling and loaded with 4 shells in the chamber and...

My votes: Stiller action and for caliber based on your previous input: 260 Remington. A 130 gr Scirocco or Accubond at 2900+ fps would be a real deer thumper and those super high BC bullets will really fly well for long range shots. A 140 gr Nosler Partition or Swift A-Frame is also available...
