While you're at Perfect Union, check out GunDoc's trigger jobs - well worth it! 3.5# trigger that breaks like glass is a positive step towards accuracy.

Powder and primers.

I started with W231 since that's my go-to non magnum powder. At 7.5g, it's just about right. However, after posting here and other places asking for suggestions, I got the feeling that I should try Unique. Boy am I glad I did! 8 ~ 9 grains was the suggestion, so I did. I'm enjoying 9 grains...

H4198 and 150g NBT - sweet combination. I shoot them in a Mini 30 for 2" @ 100 yards.

44spl IMO. I can control it better, less flash and recoil, faster follow-up. .357 relies on velocity, .44spl relies on bullet weight and diameter. Both work.

Both overlap and the differences are as follows: .308 = short throw bolt .30-06 = long throw bolt No big whoop. The case is larger on the .30-06, so realize that for any given bullet weight, the .30-06 is POTENTIALLY faster. This means that while in factory loadings a 150g round may be...

Cast bullets WILL NOT work in a Ruger .44 carbine due to the gas port - you'll plug it up. Jackets only. I don't know if that makes a difference in your selection, but I had to tell you. I'm going to try 150g cast boolits in my Mini 30 shortly. I replaced my gas tube with a smaller one...

Remington 700 w/Stainless Hart custom barrel in 6.5-06, hard chromed with a McMillan stock.

I have to reflect earlier suggestions on a 30-30 or perhaps a Mini 30 with 150g SP bullets. A Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 downloaded to acceptable levels would work too. The .30 carbine gained a poor reputation for a reason. That said, it's a whole lot better than nothing and would feel...

I'm going to go aganst the grain here - how unusual... ;) My personal experience shows me that a rifle, even a carbine, is too long to use in a house with hallways and small spaces. Short shotguns with a pistol grip - OK, but other than that, not so much. A 1911 with night sights is the...

Found a sporterized 1917! Blue is deep, rifle is 5 groove button drilled, wings removed professionally, cartouche's abound! Love the flaming bomb! Heavy as heck! I don't need it and I have several other 30-06's, but knowing this was issued and carried before its transformation thrills me...

.22's are great, CZ's are great, 10/22's are great, Savage is great. Start with a .22 and go from there. Lots of folks like .308 for an all around rifle in a bolt gun. Folks like Marlin's too. Lever action with a pistol cartridge is accurate and cost effective. Add a scope and they're...

At the local pusher's and he handed me a nice 30-06 Browning - a 1972 FN Browning with controlled feed/ejection. Dirty and surface rust here and there. $350 OTD. Took it home, brass wooled it, some oxpho blue where needed, floated the barrel and cleaned and waxed the stock. Looks brand new...

Get someone with a Lyman 358429 to send you some. 170g from wheel weights and a true Keith. These will do the work. Load them over W296/H110 - somewhere @ 15g, check loading data and work up. You'll find these to be very hard hitting and penetrating, perfect for hogs.

Can I join with a 1955 740?

I have a Lewis tool and used it over 20 years. They work, but the copper Chore Boy trick plain works better. I also use cleaning solution - Shooter's Choice, or just plain synthetic oil when I do it because for me at least, it works even better that way. Wrap a good deal of Chore Boy around...

165g NBT over 57g IMR4350, WLR.

What most people didn't realize when they bought all these 29's back in the day was the importance of a proper grip fit to their hand. I like smooth wood Hogue's, but Ahrends, Spiegel's or some other top end grip will make the recoil much more acceptable. Of course, this leads to better...

Thanks. Lyman #429244 - 265g cast from wheel weights.
