    125 smk 308

    Agree, base of the skull doesn't need much penetration :-)

    125 smk 308

    The Speer 125g TNT in the 500 bulk pack (little plastic ammo cans) is one of my favorite High Power 308 'reduced course' 100-200 yard bullets. Inexpensive and accurate, I shot a lot of these with a light load of IMR 4895 or 4064. It's a varmint bullet, and I never tried on deer but suspect...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Rifle Stock

    Winchester stocks in general are harder in stock to find than Rem 700. I would really like a Manners SL that Pat suggested, but suspect a custom order with long lead-time if you need it for this fall? I have also been thinking about McMillan Hunter (Sako Hunter) which seems to be in in...

    thanks guys, I appreciate the input. Also I also scrounged up a pound of H4831sc to try.

    Range Report 6.5x55 and IMR 4350

    I am also running low on H4350 - is your IMR4350 load similar to what you were running H4350? ? My CG/63 Military Match load was 140smk & 42.0g H4350 with FN target brass in winter but come August in 2nd string rapids the bolt got heavy... I moved down a node to 40.0g which is slower but...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    I love my CG/63's, but I just picked up a modern M70 match rifle 6.5x55 and it's pretty amazing. Larry Racine full build with Rem Varmint contour 1:8 twist, set up for irons and stripper clips. I put a Nightforce on it, and with some load development this could be my favorite rifle.

    What are your three favorite powders for the .308 Winchester with 168/175 grain bullets?

    1. Varget 2. H4895 ( previously used a lot of IMR4895 shooting XTC) 3. IMR 4064, really like how it shoots but hate how it meters

    I am building a swede too, and can't visualize mod - what does the feed lip look like after tweaking? thanks

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Kill with Model 70 pre 64/ 47 year old ammo

    Absolutely! Nice hog, but I would really like to see a couple more pictures of the rifle. The barrel profile (heavier target / varmint without sights?) just looks fantastic in that stock. ... so I have a pre-64 barreled action that really needs a re-barrel, and I am getting some expensive...

    Best drag bags

    Tactical Tailor or Triad is what I use now as a range bag, both are great. I have an older Blackhawk, a great bag too but my opinion it's overkill for my purposes now. It does have a real nose cone for more authentic skull-dragging, but I typically don't do that in the driveway...

    Gunsmithing Win Model 70 Long Action DBM

    That is interesting. Will a 'standard case' (say 30-06 or 6.5x55 size) work in that mag with some mag- lip tweaks?

    Yes, logical that it is standard AICS 300 mag. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Win Model 70 Long Action DBM

    Does the Win 70 long action PTG DBM also use AICS 300WM magazines, or something else? My M70 in 7mm rem mag has CDI bottom metal, and it works really well now but it took some time to get it to run. I am pulling together Win 70 parts now for a 6.5x55 (obviously isn't as long & fat as...

    Pre 64 Model 70 build

    That is awesome, thank you for posting that picture to keep me motivated!! I am trying to build your rifle, but I can't find a A3/A5 type stock & I don't want to wait a year for a special order....
