    That happened to be the best place for a photo coincidentally haha and to clarify I haven't Hoareded I just bought bits at a time over a few years with known load data which helps.

    I like many others are eagerly awaiting some Sierra 7mm tmk but am set for the dirty 308

    Out of view is my Dillon 550b and Redding big Boss so quality ��

    My brothers Howa .222 is the old Australia Mountaineer model. Late 80s. Still going strong. Re-barreled by a Gun Smith and it now shoots much better.

    My wife Weatherby GH2 in .243 works well and my .223 sporter sits in a Boyd's thumbhole. All function perfectly and shoot well

    I also have Tikkas but would take a Howa any day if the model and need suit my purpose.

    My mate wants a detachable magazine bottom metal for his Weatherby short action in 308.

    Is a Howa interchangeable with the Weatherby ?
