Some good info above. My experience with a 30-30 lever gun was bullet choice has a huge influence on accuracy. Im my case, my Marlin 336 with the micro groove barrel the 170 grain bullets were extremely accurate. Lower weight bullets looked more like a shotgun pattern than a rifle group.

Nice, the Ultramag doesn't seem to get a lot of play on the gun forums but it is an excellent press with tight tolerances and lots of mechanical advantage.

I went with a Generac portable that runs on gasoline. I set up a simple feed to my main breaker box and use a 50 ft cable to keep it away from the house. I set it on a pallet and can carry it anywhere on the farm with my tractor. 10K watts runs my entire house including the well. There are...

I went through several presses including the Co-Ax. The Redding Ultramag is what i settled on and have two on the bench. I also have a Lee Classic Cast that is a fine piece of workmanship and a great value. My other single stage press I really like is the RCBS Jr 2. I never went the kit...

Retumbo is really good in the magnums with heavy for caliber bullets. I liked 220 grain bullets with my 300 WM.

You're probably right, I was disappointed the stock was as crappy as it was from the factory. I sold the factory stock on eBay so the replacement didn't set me back much.

I had a 700 LVSS (Light Varmint Stainless Fluted). It came with the Tupperware stock. I would get good groups with it but they were all over the place, no consistent point of impact during the range sessions. I discovered the gun was very particular with regards to where the stock engaged the...

If there is enough neck length and the shoulder is forward ... yes. If the shoulder on the 300 is shorter than the Fireball shoulder length you may need to make a false shoulder as part of the neck and fireform the brass to move the shoulder forward. I make my own 221 Fireball brass from...

What kind of seat die are you using that induces that much runout?

I think the Fireball really shines with 40 grain Ballistic Tip bullets.

Fireball victim, off hand 90 yards.

Can't start them too young with proper supervision. She will love the 452.

This is mine. Rem 700 with Boyd's Thumbhole Laminate stock and Redfield (old School) 4 - 12 "TV Tube" wide field of view scope. I really like this setup.

Lrreloader, I like the looks of that rig.

Yes, in NY we had a chicken coop. Foxes were always a problem. My youngest daughter treated the chickens like pets and gave them all names. When the fox killed 18 of 30 chickens she declared war. Turned out we had a mating pair of foxes and they were successful with their brood. My...
