    I found the old Handloader Magazine that Grandpamac mentioned about the .300 WSM vs .300 H&H Holland. It's the February 2007, No 245 on pages 95, 96 and 97. The 300 H&H and 300 WSM have virtually...

    Yeah PPC inspired designs (short n fat), are indeed more accurate than longer cases holding similar amounts of powder due to less velocity spread (SD over Chrono). But it generally takes a very...

    Yeah, it's not difficult to do a 3 layered carbon fiber patch repair and not that expensive if you have sheets of carbon fibre and some epoxy lying around. This is why I'm surprised that Ken didn't...

    The higher prices+ that MD quoted are for the original full wood versions. Yours has been 'sporterized' and is in the lower range of MDs price spectum.
