A buddy sent me pics the other day of a fired cartridge. The case was split, primer gone, face full of gas, bolt was locked up and the chronograph read almost 1000fps more velocity than it should have but otherwise no other problems. It was his first shot out of a brand new batch he just...

Just picked up 2 boxes of 338 RUM brass and so far I’m happy With what I see. I haven’t loaded any yet I just got home and checked it out last night. If it’s everything it appears to be, and as good as the reviews I’ll be buying more for a lot more cartridges.

Oh I’d never smuggle in bullets and try and resell em but but I wouldn’t be apposed to giving a “friend” some of my bullets and maybe they could “loan” me some money.

Competition is good for the consumer. If it weren’t for companies pushing the limits and thinking outside of the box we’d still be trying to get as much powder as possible behind the lightest bullet for caliber possible. That would probably be good for Weatherby but for everyone else who’s...

Hahaha, the guys cashing your checks for their bullets said their bullets showed no more or less barrel wear than standard copper jacketed bullets. Imagine that! They may be right, they may be wrong but I like their bullets and I’ll shoot em and clean the barrel the same as I always have. I...

bigngreen, I’ve had the opportunity to set up a few rifles with my 2 sons similar to what you’re describing. All of them are 375 Rugers and 1 416 Ruger. I have not set up a 375 H&H in similar fashion other than I own an unaltered factory model 70 with a 24” barrel. The first one I set up...
