I'll throw my fav. older odd caliber in the mix. It's the .284 Winchester. I have a model 100 that has taken many a critter over the years. Anyone know where I can get a new magazine for one? I have seen a few used ones over the years in worse shape than mine and they still want $75+ for...

Anything specific you are looking for? I'd drop by Thunderstick Trading Co. Kind of small but you would be surprised at what they have.

Surprises me as well. I just ordered two 8lb jugs of 2400 from Recobs yesterday. I figured another shipment must have made it out to the distributors.

What Captcurt had mentioned is right on. I happen to have a .284 and sorry no it will never be sold. It is my first big game rifle. I have found a number of sites that say they have parts for your .308 and the .243 version but the 284 is almost nonexistent. I've been looking for a second...

Sportsmans in Tucson got a few 5lb'rs of 22 and 19 as well as a few 1lb on Saturday. They already had at least one 5lb of 19 sitting on the shelf that made it a whole week without being bought.

I don't understand why everyone thinks the glass must be at least as much the rifle or more to be useful. My first big game rifle was/is a model 100 Winchester in .284. Now my daughter is putting it through its paces. It still has the 3x9 Simmons on it. It has always stayed zeroed and more...

6.5 gr of 231 under an xtreme 158gr swc is my most accurate and pleasant to shoot range load I have found for the 6" 686. My 14yr old daughter will go through several hundred in a range trip if I let her. ( I usually do:rolleyes:)

I know you have a $500 budget but, I think if you looked around a little and found a lightly used model 100 winchester in .243 you would have the perfect rifle for what you are needing. Semi-auto, box mag, light and 19" carbine. I have seen some fairly nice examples (.243) at gun shows for...

A quick search of GB shows 29 of them right now. The MSRP on them is around $1600, I wont go into all the crazy I dont know any better and have more money than brains price vs. what if you purchased it through an up and up dealer. I'm not listening to the, it costs the dealers more so they are...

I think it is just a money scam as well. If UPS people are trained to ship/handle it then they are missing something. I happend to be off on the day my last order of 10K primers from PV was delivered. I heard the truck stop out front and I got up and watched him through the window. He walked...

I happen to calibrate these items along w/ micrometers, digital scales and the such for the military. You would be suprised how often even brand new items are not even close to being in tolerance from the manufacturer. This ranges from the Harbor Frieght stuff all the way up to the spendy...

Float pilot, I would bring this to the store managers attention. I was told by the local Sportsmans manager that they all are doing the same thing as the one here does. That is, when they are getting ready to open the day after the shipment arrives they have been handing out numbers and...

Thank you for all the quick responses. I was kind of leaning towards neck sizing and loading but, did not want take the chance of getting any lube on the primer and ruining it. If I keep it minimal I should be ok. By the way, the company I purchased it from handles all types of mil. brass...

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned it but, it is still primed with the original primer. I have been using my lyman manual and was asking because it says trim to 1.75. Oops, I meant they averaged between 1.74 and 1.77.

Please forgive me, I attempted searching the answer but couldnt find anything definate. I have been loading 45acp and 357 mag for the last year w/o issue but, decided to try my hand at rifle. I bought 500 pulldown LC at the local gun show and just want to make sure before I load it all up...

I never thought I would say it but, the big box stores (in my area anyway)are the only ones not gouging the prices, this is of course if they can get the product. All the LGS's, save one I visit on a weekly basis have jacked the price on every type of gun in stock. I even bought 55gr vmax...

I have not loaded w/ 2400 yet but, I do have a pound of it on the shelf. Looking at the alliant website they used ccI500's for all of the loads they have listed.

I would think that barrel life on a number of the mentioned rifles will eventually come into question. This is especially true of the rounds that are pushing the 4000FPS range. Even .223 ar's being fed bunches of blaster type bulk ammo will wear. I have seen some hot loaded .22 cal...

Around here in the Tucson area, I swear people actually hear it hit the ground and they come running. I dont even like going to the public range unless it's almost void of people. I have actually had to get after people grabbing my empties before they stop bouncing. :fire: This is after they...

I still own my very first big game rifle that I got when I was 14. It's a model100 winchester in .284. I took my very first bull elk with it at 150 yds. He took about 3 steps and it was all over. The rifle was almost 25 yrs old when I got it from the original owner. He even gave me 6 boxes...
