Thanks much. A couple of people just sent me some cases a couple of months ago and my friend scraped up a couple more boxes so we have enough to test. Certainly, if we need more, I'll certainly give this a try. I don't have any 308 cases as I don't shoot this caliber but can buy them cheap as...

BruceB That's pretty hard core brass forming! I have all of those materials but the 44 mag die and I am sure one of my shooting buddies could help me with that. I form my 20 Practical brass from .223 cases but it is child's play compared to your 35 Rem endeavor. I think I'll keep trying...

Thanks much for all the input. I'm bidding on 100 pieces on Gunbroker. We will see what happens. ArchAngleCD I thought about just buying some factory loads, firing and then reloading. This is a very good idea but then I got to thinking I could spend more money and time with my hobby (and...

Friend of mine just inherited a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington from his Dad and wanted to test it out. I have or can get everything he needs but the brass. Wanted to test it out. Anyone know where I might get some brass? New or once fired will work fine. I have looked in the usual suspects and...

If you like to shoot a lot and want an outstanding PD/varmint rifle, take a Tikka T3 .223, screw the barrel off, get the action blueprinted and screw a 20 cal. barrel on it (Lilja has the barrel specs already documented and ready to build for the T3). Use Reding S dies with .27 bushing to neck...

Very good. I've never heard of Saw. I did see the one RH on Bud's. I'm patient and may have to get a 308 and get Lilja to build me a 708 barrel as a last resort. Surely I can find one.

Thanks for all the info. Probably have to do a deep dive to find one of these. Seems pretty rare. Have a Tikka 20 Practical built from a Tikka .223. Love it and it is the best shooter I have in my gun safe. I'll be patient.

Any recommendation as to where the best place to get one one of these?

Consider the 7mm08

If a guy/gal is going to own 1 hunting rifle, you can't beat the 30-06. Shoots a lot of different bullets and will take down just about anything but the meanest bears in North America. I've shot one for forty years and it is still my go to gun. For good power (more than .243) for the more recoil...

Looking for one of these. Is there such a thing? I heard Tikka quit chambering for 7mm08 but thought there might be some pre-owned ones out there somewhere. LH are a little scarce too.

I found a plastic bag of these brass cases in a gun store and was wondering if anyone knows what IRF means? Head stamp is R-P 30-06 Sprg. They look like standard Remington cases to me.

Both front & rear .853 as best I can measure with my caliper.

I have a pre-64 (should be about 1949 or 50 according to serial #) and it has some Weaver mounts on it now. I was wondering if some Mod 70 expert could tell me if the mount holes were drilled and tapped post factory production or holes were drilled at factory. Cant seem to find where people...

All very good suggestions and I am going to try most of them starting with dropping down to a little lighter/shorter bullet. Thanks very much. Always, THR is my go to forum for good solid suggestions and answers. I can get 1.5-2" groups out of the 105's but not good enough for me, even...

Ive had the gun for almost 50 years. My sons 17 so I think I'll just load some 85gr, get it shooting well, and put it up for another young kid to shoot a deer or two someday. Probably time for him to step up to 25-06 or .270. Thx for input all.

I have Mod 600 Rem in .243. Trying to make a little better deer rifle for my son by using 105 gr bullets. Could not get a decent group at 100 yds. Measured the twist thinking for the past 40 plus years the gun had a 1:9.25 twist. It has 1:10 so this is probably why I am proving to be a bad shot...

Loc n load?

I'm in the market for a good Concentricity gauge. Any wisdom here? I would like to get one that does all measurements (neck walls, bullet and case) but don't want to sacrifice quality. Sinclair looks promising to me but does not look like you can measure neck walls.

Bought the book. Glad I did. Instructions good and firing pin installed.
