20 mm My gunsmith made a dummy round out of a 20mm casing necked down to 338. Told his buddies he was waiting on a 40" bbl for it.

Weatherby If you push a 100 grain bullet to 3,400 fps out of a 240 you will not get to 500. Your only hope is to wait between shots for the barrel to cool, which I don't have the patience for.

The heat inside the bore is the same it just takes longer to reach the surface and longer to cool down.

240 I sure would like to see some of that 240 factory ammo shot over a chrono. I load my 257 very hot to get to 3,550. In fact it's with the gunsmith right now being rebarreled. Shot the factory barrel out in 400 rounds. When shooting 3 shot groups the barrel gets very hot. I love Wbys. I own...

240 Wby Shawnee, I think he was talking about 100 grain bullets not 75s. mark

240 Weatherby What load were you planning on using to get 3,400 fps? Your going so have to smoke them to get that kind of velocity. 257 will do it but I doubt a 240 will.

Any of the 300 Mags will do fine using a well constructed bullet. Swift A-Frames or Nosler Partitions will do the job. If you can't handle the recoil you could go down to a 270 with a heavy bullet. My Dad used to use a 243 and brain shots only, but he was one hell of a shot.

What rounds are considered short action rounds?

Refinished I have a Marlin pump 22 that was my grandfather's. He spent summers on a hog farm after coming home from the war in the south pacific. He used the rifle for slaughtering pigs. It was in much the same condition as your 94 when it was handed down to me. I had it refinished stem to...

I'm looking for a Model 700 short action. Any condition, any caliber. Scope not necessary, clean bore not necessary. [email protected].

First Rifle Mini 14 and a Leupold VX 1 scope. I assume they are legal in California.

I have a Savage with a 3-9 Simmons scope. I've had good luck on ground hogs out to 70 yards. Beyond that it's real iffy. For the money the Simmons ain't bad, given the rifle's limitations can't say I'd want for more. What amazes me is that Hornady ammo shoots an almost touching ragged hole at...

Get yourself a Weatherby Mk XXII You can pick one up for around $350. They're real pretty and shoot like crap. I know, I own 2.

I was walking through the local car dealers lot and noticed this model for $9,999. Any idea what it is?

I recently inherited a Remington Nylon 66 that needs some TLC. My father kept the gun in the barn for dispatching the odd coon, rat, or ground hog. Consequently it picked up some mild surface rust and a filthy action. I would like to have the gun refurbished, but there's no one that I know of...

I know this is a reach, but could your bullets be losing enough steam between 100 and 200 yds. that they're missing the target low. I understand you shot at a 24" target high, but maybe you need to aim for a point above the target. I know it seems unlikey, but what could it hurt. When I dial...

If it shoots as well as the 17 HMR fodder you can bet they'll be coming out of the woodwork to build guns for it. My bet is that Savage is first.

I recently commissioned a custom varmint rifle. As the gun is going to see a lot of traveling I'd like to have a hard case made with the foam cut out to fit the rifle's profile. Does anyone know where to have such a thing made.

I think I would go with a 700 SPS Varmint in 243 with a well constructed bullet that won't tear them up too bad. With the right bullet you also have a nice deer rifle. http://www.remington.com/library/promotions/2008_rebate_roundup.asp

I saw the barrel on a Krieghoff trap gun get pealed open like a bananna. The owner, a big time corporate type, wouldn't fess up to a double load, but we all expected he did just that. The next Sunday he showed up with a new Perazzi, as Krieghoffs were now junk guns.
