    timattalon liked post by grandpamac On thread : What powder for 6.5x55?
    Greetings, I found AR2209 worked well in my 6.5x55 T3 Lite with the 129 grain SST. There are a couple of cautions though. Current production AR2209 is faster than that produced 20 or so years ago...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : 7x64 reload
    Greetings @ chainsaw, No criticism just my clumsy phrasing. The 7x64 is loaded to a higher pressure than the .280 Rem and the faster twist allows heavier projectiles. I see that the .270 is now...

    Greetings Synthetic, I think that you have all of the opinions here. I think that you need to think about what suits you and how you may integrate the longer shots with what you already do rather...

    Greetings, One thing that is well below old prices is chronographs. Over 30 years back (1991) I bought an Oehler 35P chronograph which cost $849.00. They are still made today, possibly upgraded a...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Old school hunting
    Greetings, I see the Parker Hale Standard .303 listed at $36.00. I bought one about 1967 and it cost me $29.00 (fourteen pounds 10 shillings) with a new barrel. I could have saved $2.00 by getting...

    Greeting Micky Duck. A lot of continental rifles have a 12mm approx dovetail including some of the early Brno .22 rifles. I have heard of some making up an adaptor to take an aperture sight intended...

    Surely you jest. The flint lock was a late comer. The real deal is the match lock and none of that fancy rifling stuff either. GPM.

    Greetings, The first two new rifles I bought were a Ruger 10-22 Sporter (nicer stock with checkering) and a Remington ADL .308W in the mid 1970's. Both are still here. To be perfectly honest I could...
