    Greetings All, A future walk with my severely bubba modified No 4 needs to be included in planning. Perhaps I could take it up past Makino hut and give that rock I shot with my uncles P14 in 1963...

    Greetings Hermitage, There was an excellent test of this in Handloader. A .30 calibre barrel was chambered for .300 H&H, loads worked up and then set back and rechambered for .300 WSM. A short...

    Greetings Hermitage, The myth was also spread by the manufactures in the early WSM and SAUM days. The 7mm Rem SAUM was promoted as delivering the same velocity as the larger 7mm Rem Mag. My 7mm Rem...

    Greetings stocky and Others, I dug out the article on the .30-06 v .30-06AI in Handloader No 123 September October 1987 written by Gil Sengel. The rifle had a 24 inch barrel fitted to a Winchester...
