I'd skip the 10/22 unless you want it for a build a rifle project. Mine would not shoot groups with any of 10 types of ammo. 5" at 50 yds was a good showing. I sold it looking for a bolt now. Check out Rimfire Central, they have a lot of good advice too. The consensus seems to be that...

WOW! Almost enough to make me start casting. That is an incredible find for whoever ends up with it. I'm sorry you had to part with it.

All the presses at my LGS that are on display have some "slop" in them, which has kept me from "upgrading" to a more expensive press. my Lee press allows me to build ammo at a reaonable rate that still provides the consistency I need to shoot accurately. That said, most of my shooting is...

Thanks for the information. I have already polished down the mandrel and set the die per the lee instructions. I was thinking of using an FL die net, set up so it barely kisses the shoulder. I was getting better neck tension with larger bullets since they have more depth in the case. I...

Anyone load the varmint sizes 110gr-130gr? I've tried the 110 (sierra), but haven't figured out how to get them accurate out of my savage 110. I can seat them way out to get closer to the lands (my 180gr loads like this), but neck sizing with a lee collet die results in some ww brass unable...

NC-Mike: There is another vote that we get that we're often lied to about and/or do everything we can to avoid: jury duty:what: Yup. They will instruct you to decide on the facts of the case and leave the law interpretation to his/her honor. What complete BS. The founders envisioned...

Three of them! Below is a message I sent to someone a few days ago: Just wanted to update you. My friend and I settled on a load that was good for accuracy and velocity out of both Marlins and both Blackhawks with two bullet types (given some small compromises between the two). The 265WFNGC...

OK I'm in. 1894 Big 5 "edition" in 45 Colt. it goes well with my RBH in same caliber, except its chamber is larger than the RBH, so it works the brass more than I'd like. Undisclosed load gets a 265WFN gas-checked lead bullet to 1450fps from said weapon, which was enough to pass thru...

Holy cow I need a spell-check! Anyway the budget is a little flexible, but a buck does not go far these days. To be fair, I was kinda looking for the "don't buy this" threads as much as "buy this now" threads, to kind of separate the BS from the catalogs and gun rags. I really...

Maybe consider a Savage 110FP in 25-06?

Thank you! Thank you very much for all the wonderfull input! I've got some homework to do now. I'll call around to see who has what in stock and go look through glass! The Banner comes recommended from a buddy as well, so I might go look through his or even "test drive" it. The Nikon...

I think the reason I'm interested in higher magnification is that I want to tweak on this rifle and load combination in an experimental fashion to see if I can get real sub-moa performance. I have a 30-06 that wears a Burris FullfieldII 3-9x40. I like the optics on this glass and it has been...

For deer hunting, not really. For Elk, I picked the '06 to stay in a comfotable margin of velocity with heavier bullets. The '06 is very slightly more versatile with heavier 30cal projectiles. Higher case capacity in the '06 allows higher velocity within the same margins of pressure safety...

Last week I asked about a .243 as a platform to tinker with long range and or precision accuracy (entry level no competition envisioned). I got some good supporting replies and have done more research to supprot the caliber in this role especially with handloads. So, what would you guys...

I have looked at the 260 and the 6.5G, but precision 6mm bullets are everywhere, and manufacturers all chamber it, not so for either 6.5G or 260. Thanks for the replies!
