Lots of good info here. I have bought a lot if barrels in my 61 years of shooting. I like Lilja the best hunting guns but put Krieger on my FTR rifles as the tend to run 3500 rounds well and then go sideways in the next 100 rounds so you know when it is tome. Screwed on the 6th Krieger and 2...

The 303 savage was unnecessary.

So F class was invented in canada FTR has to be either a nato cartridge or an english commonwealth cartridge. For our USA cousins, the 303 is not the best choice. So 80% of the competitors in FTR shoot 308. The other 20% shoot 223 with 80+ gr bullets In F Open, we have many guys shoot 6...

ahh yes, Back when 16.5 feet was a long distance shot......... Spare the rod and spoil the thread.

Calvin I load about 0.0000015 Stone of RL 22 behind a 6.8mm to get about 22 cubic furlongs per fortnight of energy,,,, and diesel peaked at $1,96 CDN per litre.

And some have no sense of humor........ Lets just shake hands and agree to be polite and professional to each other going forward. Deal?

Wow is all i can say No wonder i only come here once a year.

Oh what ever happened to polite manners and respect for others’ opinionions.

Hey that is a good point on barrel stamping. I know a friend who took his Cooper stamped 275 Rigby. The custom agents in Namiba confiscated all his all as the head stamp did match the gun permit/ I wish i would have had Melvin build me a 7 lb 8mm Rem Mag….. That way i would have detached...

I am more of a dirty Harry fan. I only own 1 9mm for my 5 foot wife to shoot. 460 SW is the answer to any questions asked Nazis killed all my ancestors in Poland in WW2 So may i add to the list ALL cartridges the Germans used in war……

Fred is good with thar!😉

Hahaha 0ld eyes typing on a tiny iPhone. This phone has that auto erection feature that changes every other word. Wish i could stop that. Yea, save those actions to repurpose. No offence taken. **** I love the 6.5 rem mag. I have 500 bulk rem brass for thar one. The 8 mm Rem Mag was...

Pressed reply too soon. Also, please cut up all your 300 Win Mags bit save toe action’s to repurpose into something asctually useful.

I have been reloading for 48 years. I currently load and shoot 43 cartridges ranging from 204 Ruger up to and including 375 HH, 416 Rigby, and 458 WM The only cartridge I refuse to load for is 300 Win Mag. A totally unnecessary mistake of 1963. Every time i take one on trade, I immediately...

So for years i have used G96 for long term storage. Besides shooting “a lot”, i am also a collector. Every Christmas Holiday season i would take all my rifles out of storage and spray them down with G96. This year i decided to sell 100 rifles. Many of them i had never shot. 2 in...
