    Greetings, A Ruger no 1 in some rimmed calibre, 6.5 x 57R maybe. My cobber in Oz has one in .275 Rigby (aka 7 x 57 Mauser). Could probably afford one but advancing age and decrepitude together with...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : 7mm Rem Mag Browning X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Reload Advice
    Greetings 7RMBoy, I don't have a 7mm Rem Mag (do have a 7mm SAUM) but think that you will find 4831, especially the IMR version, too fast especially for the heavier projectiles. AR2217 (H1000) or...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Getting rid of crimped primer pockets?
    Greetings Planenutz, It's not pressure that is cracking the cases, it's excess headspace. Assuming you are starting with new brass, or cases fired once in your rifle, the cases are being full length...

    Greetings Andyanimal31 and Strider B, Now there is a thought. Keep the Kimber for the bush and semi open country plus the odd longer shot and get a Tikka for the longer stuff. There are two T3's...

    stevodog liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5x55 SE Sanity Check
    Greetings Magnetite, Looks like your rifle gives a little more velocity than mine with your selection of components. I note that you are using a suppressor which some suggest gives more velocity so...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Load development in the SI
    Greetings Strider B, I am with Micky Duck on a rifle capable of 1 inch groups at 100 yards is fine for shooting out to 500 yards and ample for shots out to 300. While it would be nice to think that...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Scope running out of elevation adjustment (Shooting too high)
    Greetings Again, Just checked your first post again and spotted that you had mounted the scope on a different rifle with the same results. Hmm. It could also be that the rings are miss matched....
