    Re: Talk me out of a 6.5 STW i think the 6.5 STW would get 600-800 rounds of barrel life, as the .264 will go 1,000-1200

    cleaning question for Steyr SBS

    Re: cleaning question for Steyr SBS i diddn't even know about the bushing until i used a chamber brush to clean the locking lug recess, and turned it a little so the bolt would not go into battery. i like my .376 Steyr, but it's pretty strange...

    Turret Press questions

    Re: Turret Press questions i have reloaded cartridges with longer AOL than the press stroke before. you have to slide the cartridge rim out of the shell holder with the bullet tip still kind of in the seating die. this with my older Rockchucker. maybe i diddn't explain it well, but it's doable...

    Hunting & Fishing WTF!!!!!!!! Our Tax Dollars at work in Montana!!

    Re: WTF!!!!!!!! Our Tax Dollars at work in Montan i do not think the end justifies the means in this case. the charges that got brought up from this sting (possession of illegal game was the only felony) were not sufficient to waste what may be the state record ram. a cell phone call and a...

    Hunting & Fishing wolf tags

    Re: wolf tags it appears that here in MT, they will sell as many tags as people will buy, but they will close the season when the quota of 75 wolves is reached. so that gives everybody a chance to get out there and shoot one, BUT, those that don't get their wolf by the time the 75 (quota)...

    Gunsmithing Can this be right?

    Range Report 260 REM barrel twist?

    Re: 260 REM barrel twist? i agree with Rob01. a little more twist is your friend. 8" is my default twist rate for 6.5 bore. Gregg, i believe the 10" twist will work with the 120s, but have not used a barrel with that twist. my assumption is based on the Lilja twist rate chart...
