    the 30gibbs is an excellant round fully = to the 308 norma. it has a 35% sholder and your photos of necking up to 338 then back down to .308 to fit tightly in chamber to fire form..

    Head separation on my brass

    IF you do not handload then Spalidi is completely right . However the 280AI is a wildcat and I have owned two of the 280AI and no headspace problems, but in my 45 years of working with wildcats not all reamers are the same. If you ;hand load then my remedy will work fine and if not then you...

    Head separation on my brass

    for sure the head space is a little long--easy to fix fire form yor brass - neck it up to .308 or 30 cal. set you resizing die up a half turn so it does not complete.y re size the sholder. when you fire the case with the false sholder it will completely fit your chamber perfectly; this is not...

    wolves or no wolves

    I wish those who thinks Wolves are beautiful would see their pet dog or cat eaten by one. In Montana the have almost depleted the mule Deer and bad for our moose.The grey wolf released here was never here before. Hats off to our New governor in Montana he is great.

    7mm cartridges

    man this is a no brainer there is only one 7mm for long range the 7mm Remington magnum. the stw is no better and too long for the results the 280AI a great round but not enough gas in the tank. yes belted magnums are accurate.

    25.06 Ackley Improved, powder choices, and load info!

    Error above on my line I meant the faster burning rate powders will not give you good results like R 17 19 4350 even r-22 and H 4831 may be a bit fast. especially with 115 and 120 125 gr bullets.

    25.06 Ackley Improved, powder choices, and load info!

    you need to look closely at the 257 weatherby loading data this is what you have created with the AI. although P O said you really cannot improve anything under 277. but today with the slower powders like h 1000 and r 25 imr 7828 you will get a bit over the 25/06 but forget any slower...
