This is an excellent, useful thread.

Lead free. California. One TTSX.

Yes, I’ve discovered that elsewhere on this forum.

I could be wrong - I usually am - but I believe it’s the length of the bullet’s bearing surface, not the overall length of the bullet, that commands a minimum twist rate?

YES

Outdoorsmans has the Slik Pro CF-634 on sale for $209.95 ($40 off). It's one of the lightest tripods on the market. I recommend it highly. I also recommend their Outdoorsmans Pan Head - smooth as silk and easy to set up. Very high quality. Their bino adapter is top notch, too.

Well said.

Look in the mirror.

OK, have you ever passed on a Midway price and bought the item somewhere else for a dollar less, or $5, or even more less? Why did you do that? Because you look out for yourself, not your "friendly" or "favorite" retailer. Do you consistently pay more to buy local instead of ordering online...

Well, one of my reloading manuals (Nosler, I think) says it is a shortened 30-06 case. Or maybe an '03 case, I don't remember precisely. I've never read that it was a new, unique case design. If it is an '06 scion, then it is a sibling, at least, of the .308.

The .300 Savage was invented 5 or 6 years AFTER the .250-3000. It's not the parent cartridge. The internet is dangerous.

New unprimed Winchester .356 Win brass - 50 count - for $38.35.

A friend of mine made the same claim. He switched from an older 30-06 BDL with a wood stock, big Nikon scope in steel rings, etc., to a brand new .270 Kimber Montana with lightweight Talleys. Knocked a couple of pounds off, at least. He swore whoever said the .270 was a mild cartridge was crazy!
