Here is what Weatherby says: http://www.weatherby.com/support/faq/item/view/44344 TWO BOX BARREL BREAK-IN This barrel break-in procedure requires two boxes of ammunition to complete. Start out by shooting one round at a time, cleaning the barrel thoroughly after each round and allowing...

I will agree with the other posters that the Vanguard S2 is a great rifle. I have one in .30-06 and it shoots MOA with cheap Federal and Winchester ammo. I am gathering components to see if I can find an even more accurate hand load. Yes, there are prettier and lighter rifles made, but for...

I also was using the Rainier 165gr bullet. I went with the Lee FCD because I was worried about setback in an already high pressure round. Keep an eye out for setback with the lighter crimp. Keep us posted on your results.

Congratulations to your wife! A fair chase hunt is always rewarding and something to be proud of no matter the size of antlers.

Good job on not taking any chances by guessing which powder, and what condition it was in after being left in the hopper. As you said, "Lesson learned." There are many ways to prevent having to fertilize the lawn again but I think in this situation you did the right thing. Others can learn...

My brand new 629-6 with a canted barrel was shipped back to Smith on Monday and received by them Tuesday. So far they have been great in communications and emailing me a prepaid shipping label very quickly after receiving my concern. As of now I have no reason to believe my firearm wont be...

I have been using W231 with good results.

I have been a member for many many years and would love the option to become a life member for $300. Money always seems to be tight when my renewal arrives and I always end up with another 1-year membership. If someone will PM me the info I will take the opportunity to sign up as a life member.

I am in the process of building the same bench. I have the bench complete and will start the shelves on my days off.
