Hollar if I can help Kirby, but the T-Bird deal sounds pretty good....

Kirby, have never done any business with Thunderbird. Don't personally know anybody who has, see their adds in VHP mag.

Kirby, about $6 per pound on either of the two...Don't know about freight tho..

Kirby, I usually get those powders from Kent Lomont but when he comes to Knob Creek for the shoot. He and another guy bought about a million lbs a few years back and its stored at a magazine in I think WV. Kent tells him how much to bring for his orders and the guy brings that plus some extra...

I realize you said center grip: FWIW Have a Savage Striker in 243, with spare Heavy 15" 22-250 bbl. Simmons Classic Whitetail scope, 6.5 X 20, One piece Leupold base and rings. Pix if you are interested...

Good post Goodgrouper, you hit the nail on the noggin to my way of thinking.We had a similar post over on my website pertaining to bigbore handguns.Was well reciever by those in the know, quiet by others....lej

Sounds good Kirby, do you have any plans for trying WC 5010, or WC 872, and the like?

Nice looking Gemsbok, looks like a 42" at least ?

It could have something to do with the employees buying the factory a number of years back. Employee ownership can provide a certain incentive.

Well Greenhorn sounds like you are on the right track with your thinking and practiceing. Nothing wrong with the '06 for what you have in mind. In most cases practice is what is needed. LR can become in the eyes of the beholder.A 338/378 at 25-30 #'s off the bench, thats is one thing to one LR...

When you speak of a LR rifle and a walking around rifle, makes one ask what you call LR ?. When I hear 22" bbls and # 2 and # 3 taper I also wonder what calls LR ? A properly set up '06 is capable of 800 yard Whitetails in experienced hands.I'm not convinced you'll find it in a walking around...

Or if you are not opposed to the Savage, have the option of changing bolt faces???

I think asking the 20 cal to be a 400 yard PD gun is a bit much.....also the 308 would be the better Deer cartridge. If the recoil is too much for PD's consider a MB for the 308...
