What state(s) do you hunt big game in most often? SD What is your primary long range hunting cartridge? 30-06AI -------------------------------------- Regarding your primary long range hunting cartridge choice above: Do you use factory ammunition? No If so, which brand and load do...

You will end up with the unsightly bulge above case head similar to what I have above my belt ;) using the Winny brass unless you have a reamer specifically ground for the smaller base. Problem is either buy a bunch of brass or hope the manufacturers never start to make it the way it should be...

Powder Valley or Bruno's are probably about the cheapest for the 6.5x47 Lapua brass. Sinclairs has Forster dies as does Graf & Sons with the latter being cheaper I believe. If Nate doesn't have a reamer and you want to shoot 80 to 107 gr I have a couple of no turn PTG reamers I could rent...

For information purposes here are some velocities I have obtained from some of mine and twin brothers 6mm caliber cartridges; 2-6XC's with Rock 1/8 26" and Win brass 3000fps with 107SMK but with pressure. Realistic about 2950 tops. This with nekkid bullets. Tried some moly and did get...

Not to be nit picky but it was actually Varmint Synthetic Stainless Fluted. Short actions in stainless were referred to as such. Short action blued or VS were Varmint Synthetic. The Sendero was in long action only. Don't quite understand it that SA or LA had different names only because of...

Have heard nothing but good about Kirby but my comment is about human nature in general. It never ceases to amaze me as to what little value many people put on their honor/integrity/honesty or word. Being honest and forthcoming although not probably real profitable at present is so much...

This guy must have been the 'Rod Serling'(Twilight Zone) of barrel makers because your not getting much info here nor your post on 6BR. The guy that sold the 243 blank on Ebay was from OH or perhaps IN and was liquidating the assests of a deceased smith with many odds/ends from reamers to dies...

Schutz Bros barrels Tom Last spring a seller on Ebay from OH was liquidating an estate of an older gunsmith. He had a Schutz Bros 243 blank for sale that fetched about $150. The writing on shank was all stamped neat and proper like someone took real pride in their work. Don't know of barrel...

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH- You guys are going to inflate his ego until they have to build a detour in I94 to go around his head. Actually I have had the honor of visiting with Nate not only via internet and phone but in person. I can honestly say you will not find a more humble, GOD fearing, honest...

Anbody by chance have a set of 22/6mm Improved dies for sale or know of someone who may??? Thanks in advance. Respectfully, Dennis

I had bought a 22-250AI built on a 40X by Dennis Olson and it was quality work. Purchased used and I ended up tearing it apart before I shot it but previous owner claimed it a shooter. John King at Kila,MT(just outskirts of west Kalispell has a super rep for building 1000yd rifles around there...

I currently own 6 of the Brown Precisions. They are good solid stocks. Only problems is if it is direct from the mold and not factory finished it takes considerable work to get them smooth, bedded and finished. If it is a standard it should accept a factory sporter barrel. Not real familiar with...

Just wanted to publicly thank Al for the nice barreled action, great deal and super service. Don't think I have found a more honest,trustworthy and sociable seller on the net. Thank You my friend.
