labgrade, I don't see whatever point you are trying to make. I compared Nosler's ballistic tables for their 180gr and 200gr Partition spitzers for the 30-06. According to the current Midway catalog, there is a whopping 20 cent retail price differential for a box of 50, which implies about 10...

I may be wrong, but I don't believe Savage is offering any of the long-action "P" series in left-hand versions anymore. Seems like they've thinned their catalog down a bit, they don't seem to offer .260 Rem either. As I understand it, the P series has a blind magazine, which kinda bothers me; in...

labgrade, if you promise to come over and carefully de-copper the rifle bore after every range trip, maybe I'll give those Barnes a try. :D I'll give credit to Barnes for offering a good range of bullet weight in the popular calibers, just wish they offered all their bullets in the XLC config...

With the sloppy weather lately, and PSSD, been spending some time slouched on the couch looking at reloading manuals comparing the common American medium bores (270, 280, 308, 30-06, etc). One anomaly popped up when looking at the Nosler manual. Everybody says the classic 30-06 load for elk and...

Factory barrels these days are too light for my tastes. I want extra weight out front to help with offhand, plus the added weight will help reduce recoil. I'm not too interested in shooting 25-50 rounds over a day thru a 7.0 lb .30-06. And Savage is currently fitting 22" barrels to their .30-06...

I'm finally getting around to adding a medium-caliber boltgun to the cabinet, and being a lefty I have tentatively decided on a Savage long-action in 30-06. Applications will be short-range informal target and hunting. Right off the bat I'd want to have some basic gunsmithing done; trigger job...

I recall reading that the BLR originally came with a steel receiver. Anybody here know what years of production the short-action came with a steel reciever, and what years with an aluminum receiver? Is there a way to determine steel versus aluminum via serial number? For what its worth, I...

When shotguns are discussed, the issue of stock fit usually comes up. I'm a stainless and plastic kinda guy, so when I finally get around to acquiring a couple of scatterguns (an 870 and an 11-87 probably), I'll want to put synthetic stocks on them. Forget about mentioning the factory units that...
