I know I'm a little late replying, but . . . Don't I remember reading a while back that people tried this when the 338 Lapua Savage rifles first came out, and wasn't there an issue with getting the improved version to feed properly?

Perhaps I am taking you the wrong way, and my apologies if I am, but your posts read as though they have a very condescending tone to them. Yes, I understand it is not a terrible amount of work to dial on both planes, though with a typical hunting scope you do have to remove the caps and count...

Well, I can always experiment a bit. I'm not opposed to playing around with a grain more or less powder on the reduced loads to see where it takes me. I was also talking to a steel silhouette shooter who had the forward stock on his marlin lever in 357Mag epoxy bedded to make continuous...

Are the Canjar triggers still made? I did see them mentioned in a few places before posting this thread, but when I tried to search for them all I could get was posts/articles about them and perhaps a result or two on ebay or the like. I would like to find their actual site or some contact...

Well, your right about 3 load levels, just with my Marlin those 3 levels are: Subsonic (purely range fun) Roughly "Trapdoor" equivalent (range fun / practice) & Near max for Modern Lever Actions (Hunting) However, I am NOT comparing the full spectrum of projectiles. I'm just using...

I'm not a real fan of the TC's, I can see the attraction to some, but for me the break action, single shot rifles don't hold a great appeal. Not that I have anything against them, they just don't speak to me. I really must find a way to get a comparison of one of these micro actions with a...

I don't have a real pressing need to figure this out other than tooling around at the range with some fun loads, but I've noticed that my Marlin 45-70 shoots to DRASTICALLY different POI with different loads. I was expecting vertical differences to be more spread than horizontal as I switch...

I recently discovered there was such a thing when (in a bout of 22lr shortage induced madness) I began looking at who still made rifles in 22 magnum. That lead me to the Ruger 77/22 which started me thinking of small reloadable cartridges and eventually lead to my discovery of the CZ-527 and...

My girlfriend has put me in the doghouse lately so I've had a lot of free time to think about new rifles and other fun projects; one of the things I've discovered lately is that CZ makes several rifles with "set triggers" that apparently function just like a regular trigger at a normal pull...

After a bit of a break from shooting, I’ve begun to start looking around again for an action to use for a long range target rifle, with the idea of starting to play a bit in F-Class but today it struck me that I might have a cheaper solution. I have one of the new model 70 winchester rifles...

I’ll throw out the very limited first hand experience I have with big slow bullets to get things started. (although it isn’t really all that useful to the discussion) Probably obvious, but a soft jacketed 300gr hollow point does a fine job of stopping medium sized deer quickly (as in no...

Well, it seems that either the search function is malfunctioning today, or no one has ever brought up the 45-70 in the title of any post on this forum. So let me take a whack at it! First of all, I have done a lot of Googling on this old round, and most of the discussions that can be found on...

I imagine that would work just about as well, basically I would still be asking the same core question however...about the two chambers with one reamer. orwapitihunter: I didn't know if reamers were one unit that did the chamber, the neck, and the throat, or if all of those operations...

I’m putting together a pair of varmint rifles for myself and a friend, with the idea of targeting 500+ yard coyotes, groundhogs, & steel targets. We will probably be doing a lot of shooting so I have decided to just buy a reamer and hold onto it for future barrel changes. I haven’t reloaded...

Is there a program out there, preferably a cheap/free online program that can be used to calculate the case capacity of various rifle cartridges? Or for that matter, is there a formula? - Its a pain in the butt, but I can actually do the math to determine the interior case volume, but I don't...
