No one's going to believe this but I built a Ruger #1 that shoots dimes at 200 yds. On the long range stuff it's equally impressive. It has a Lilja match grade SS 26inch barrel, a Kleppinger set trigger, leupold 8.5x25x30mm scope, and the for-end freefloated part way and glass bedded the...

The .257 Wby. has a 1 in 10 twist and won't shoot Nosler 100 gr. ballistic tip bullets very well because of the boattail. This bullet requires a 1 in 9 twist. The 115, 117, and 120, it should shoot good. Berger makes a 115 grn. VLD matchgrade bullet that likes a 1 in 10 twist rate also.Midway...

I own the Forster. I also own Sinclaires and it's a winner.

I'm fireforming 6mm cases to 22-6mm and I use 20 grs. of 2400, some toilet paper, then malt o meal, and then a plug of wax. It works like a charm.

I know the feeling. This problem drove me crazy until I finally realized that after firing a case the neck was always straight with the body. It was the expander ball that was causing the problem stretching the neck one way or the other because the brass is usually not the same thickness all the...

Re: .257 Weatherby What's your twist rate? My .257 Wby. custom has a 1 in 10 twist but I can't get it to shoot 100 Nosler ballistic tips and I'm thinking I need a 1 in 9 twist. What do you think?

I have several Ruger 77's and 7 Ruger #1's. A couple of the #1's are wildcats with Lilja barrels and Canjar or Kleppinger set triggers. These guns not only have a great fondle factor but are great guns.I get alot of flack about my #1's but they hold there own when it comes time to shoot.I can...

I just fired mine up today for the first time. I went with an 8 foot piece of half inch conduit to make my spread longer. Don't forget to change the numbers if you lengthen the rod and definitely get the printer as it does alot of figuring for you. Can't wait to shoot mine so I can whine. Great...

I don't know if this will help but I just bought a new Dillon digital scale. It came highly recommended by a friend who's owned them all. I like it and it works great.
