    Sierra Load Manual 6th ed

    I like paper manuals, but don’t forget Sierra has the free reloading app for the iPad or phone. It’s handy to look through when away & want to check out data.

    .30 carbine loads?

    The powders you mention are right in the wheelhouse with the 30 Carbine. I have a bunch of IMR 4227 I was given, early 80’s vintage, sealed cans. I’ve been using that. The 30 Carbine feels like a 10/22 with a little more ooomph. Mine is just a ‘Universal’ carbine, mid serial number I got at a...

    7.6 Creedmoor

    Yes, saw that April fools funny. I do think the 6.5 Creedmoor is fine, but I’ll stick to my 6.5 X 55 Swede.

    Be careful!!

    I’ve had 3 longer distance BUYERS from my Armslist ads the last few months, NY, IL, and now OK. I’m the one telling them to be careful. I said, yeah, I’ll sell to you, just send the $$ & once it’s cleared & safe, I’ll ship. With the IL guy I went to his local FFL in my travels with him, for the...

    Mini14 Fixed Power Scope Options/Suggestions

    Yeah, with that welded scope setup pictured above, think of all the $$ he saved by making his own?? Back to the original question. Much depends on the intended use. I like to somewhat match the scope to the gun type & expected use/shot distance. With a more compact rifle I’d want a compact...

    Ruger American Troubles

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. With the two different types of factory ammo giving the same marks, little choice but to send it back. Yes, I realize reloads wouldn’t matter much with this issue. Ruger is known for good customer service. Hopefully now your gun will get special attention.

    Ruger 77 RS ‘Flat Bolt’ 284 Win?

    66, may I ask the year of the 77? How has it been shooting? Accuracy? I may not get around to shooting right away.

    Ruger 77 RS ‘Flat Bolt’ 284 Win?

    Just put it all back together, somewhat ‘deep cleaning’. The metal is as good looking as new, no nicks or wear indications. I got the trigger adjusted better, easy with the smallish Allen head. Everything online shows a Douglas barrel in 1970, rifling all looks great. There are 43 Win factory...

    Ruger 77 RS ‘Flat Bolt’ 284 Win?

    Hey guys, I ended up buying this gun. He came down some, still paid more than I wanted. The serial number is 70-1534x , any info on year or whatever else? The bluing & metal look great. There are a few scruff marks in the stock, nothing crazy. The screws all look very nice, no buggered up...

    Ruger American 30-06

    Let’s not forget the slightly used, older rifles out there. Just was at a nice gunshow last weekend, plenty of nice options. Of course, vet the seller at bit. Some like to just send trash down the road.

    Fate of the 300 RCM?

    We have a few older ‘milsurps’ where one just about has to reload for, the ‘8mm Lebel’ as one example. I just get the supplies and a handful of cases and am set. For most of us, the 308, 30-06, 223, & 243 type cartridges get 95+% of the job done. I have a few slightly ‘fringe’ hunting...
