Howdy ! M-39 .357Mag 4" custom heavy barrel M-336 XLR .35 Remington Custom bolt rifle chamber in my " DEEP 6 " wildcat for precision work. Regards, .357Mag

WW - Howdy ! As a groundhog shooter from NE Indiana, I utilized a high vel .224" cal wildcat ( .35 Remington necked down to .224" cal ) for my initial 3+ decades; after shooting .22-250s. I started out shooting 1-14 barrel and Hornady 55SX, and only varied from that bullet choice when...

Taylorbok - Howdy ! What is " going on ", is a free-floated action and " barrel clamp " that together..... secure the barrelled action to the aluminum " beam " stock. The extruded beam was a cut-off from an outdoor deck railing system, where it served as the railing's central structure. I was...

Publus - Howdy ! I like to use a dual-tole varmint / target rifle that is set-up using top tier components; with metal work performed by a skilled rifle Smith ( I don't do my own machining ). Here are a couple of pics of my current rifle, which was set-up for shooting " Soybeanus Digestus...

Chris - Howdy ! I shoot a 6mm wildcat of my own design, that has case capacity just a tad less then that of the 6CM. My rifle has a 29" SS Broughton 1-8. For use on groundhogs, I have favored use of ( initially ) the Sierra 95 Matchking, but went over to use of their 95T-MK. I have long...

XSN - Ooops ! A thousand apologies ! 2 thousand !! With regards, 357Mag

XSN - Howdy ! FWIW - Lapua does make SR-primed .22-250 brass. With regards, 357Mag

XS 10 - Howdy ! I DK what application(s) you might envision for a .22BR ? Being out West, I'd imagine potential use on PDs and perhaps Rock chucks ? I myself had one of the very first .22BRs out there. It was set-up initially as a short range bench-rest rifle, w/ a SS 22" Hart 1-14...

Gary - Great job, there ! Only one hole in the pelt ? With regards, 357Mag

Wolf - Howdy ! If you cut the neck & shoulder area off of a 7 X 64 Brenneke case, you'd have a straight walled (tapered side wall ) case 2.0028" lg, that is .308 bolt face compatible. Figuring around .012" thick case sidewalls for the wildcat + .429" bullet diam would equate to a .453"...

Ohio - Good shot placement.... good shooting...... good advice ! With regards, 357Mag

All - Modern large acreage farming brought with it the use of herbicides to control weeds. Farms fields became too large to " hand weed " a long time ago. IMHO - The advent of " no till " farming, and more to the point.... the wide spread use of " burn down " chemicals that came with...

Ohio - Howdy ! Don't think there is such a thing as " the last minute ", when it comes to shooting grounghogs. But hey... that's just me. In NE Indiana over the years, I've seen them out ( even if just one ) every month of the year except Feb. And that is because I was probably in the wrong...

Jbronner - Howdy, again ! Those guns shown look to be well cared for. One doesn't often read about a 760 being re-barrelled. Cool beans ! Keep it goin' ! With regards, 357Mag

JB - Howdy ! Is your M-99 a .250 Savage ? Regards, KJW
