enjoy the trip can't wait to see what the 36 Nosler can do.

i have a 25-06 and a 257 roberts

i built one on a savage 111 center feed blind mag. using a Shaw prefit 25 inch and a Boyds stock. i started with 286gr Hornady's and brass with cci 250s trying imr 3031 imr 4350 H-335 and ar plus. ended up getting weird pressure signs at starting loads switched to cci 200s and the pressure went...

so, the way I did my 257 Roberts was kind of a shot in the dark. I built it for coyote and to hunt deer out of state. after some reading i choose the 75-grain hammer I picked h335 after having great success with it in other calibers. and in the end, I got a group smaller than a dime at 50 yards...

i got the bug to build something different after some thought and a long talk with an experienced hunter. i settled on the 9.3x62mm using a savage 111 a Shaw prefit barrel and a boyds stock im currently working up a load with 270 gr speers and imr 3031. if i go with hammers I'm going with the...

this year i finished up building a 257 rob on a savage model 11. shoots 75gr hammers into dime size groups at 50 yards running 3750 fps average out of a 26 in barrel

i would go with 25-08. my thought was you have more available of brass with the 308 family of case than you would with the 284. i just finished building a savage chambered 257 Roberts only 1-10" twist its more meant for coyote than anything. what do you plan on hunting?

i bought an American predator in 6.5 Grendel i bought it kind of as a dual purpose rifle. I wanted something light weight for coyote hunting and something low recoil for short range fun. I'm currently working up a load using 108 gr lapuas with Starline brass and using h335 for powder and cci...

m1 Garands in general but also m1D and maybe in different calibers more variety in the Ruger m77 and Winchester model 70 or a more affordable Mauser action more savage rifles with hinged floorplates. affordable rifle in 500 sw magnum

the 257 Roberts was the first centerfire cartridge I ever fired, and I fell in love with it. the rifle which I later purchased was a m24 Mauser had a 28-inch full blank barrel with a one in ten twist built for target shooting along with a Timney trigger unfortunately it has a weight of 16 pounds...

It's far from dead just because it's no longer a centerfold cartridge doesn't mean it should be tossed out.

The first dog i ever hunted over was a Brittany male named trip owned by my good friend Steve. Me and my father would get to hunting just at light Steve would show up later well one day we were late we come over a little hill and we see Steve and trip working an area in front of us well at the...

I've been thinking about building a budget rifle thanks for the pictures

was it hard to build the rem 783?
