    Grizzly called in at 50 yards.

    Well if your calling wolves and grizz comes running at you; I don’t think it matters anymore what the intended game was. I would choose life and a jury over mauled on and dead by a bear 😂. To each their own though.

    Straight jacket armory?

    I will throw in my quick 2 cents in on this. I bought all my parts and two barrels for a switch rifle I wanted to build. I then left those parts with the previous owner and expected the rifle would be put together and sent my way in the next 6 months or so. At the 9 month mark I reached out and...

    Long Action 6.5 PRC

    OK, a silly 6.5 Creed question, which to buy ?

    If I was to buy an off the shelf more budget friendly gun I would buy a Savage in whichever 110 config you like. I like the ultralites and varmint variations.

    Guidance/Suggestions on two WSM A-BOLTS

    There are many options available based on how you want to do it. I use actions with guaranteed headspace. Order the barrels I want with specd out the way I want. Then I have a barrel vise here at my house and an action wrench. Torque the barrel down I want to use and off I go. Current setups...

    22 creedmoor or 22 250ai

    You would also save fire forming the case. Do you already have dies for the 22-250AI? If not I would choose the 22 Creedmoor for simplicity reasons.

    I just brush a little powdered graphite into the neck with a brush, the ones people use to clean their necks. Cold weld seems to happen more often if you SS tumble your brass is I stopped doing that
