    REM 700 243 rechamber

    I have heard it said bullets matter more than headstamps. Simply shoot out your 243 barrel and screw on a 6 creedmoor. edit: sorry didn't notice how old thread was.

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Used varget with 135 bergers with great success in 3 different 6.5x47. My fav was IMR4451 with 140s but discontinued.

    Lightweight, heavy cal hunting rifle thoughts?

    In that case, after building 340 weatherby, 375 weatherby, 338 win mag, 458 win, I'd vote for a lightweight 375 weatherby. Good luck any way you go though.

    Lightweight, heavy cal hunting rifle thoughts?

    I've shot a lot of animals over a lot of years. So this is my opinion and I also have a lot of rifles that I built being a lefthanded shooter. I'd build a rifle in 7mm Remington or 7mm PRC to kill everything with. It doesn't take that much to kill critters with bullets in the boiler room. And if...

    Help me pick my next caliber

    Buy a backup 223 barrel and a metric crap ton of supplies for it. or Go 6.5x47 lapua, 37.5 or so grains of varget and 130/135 grain bergers. Creedmoor performance without the stigma lol.

    Hunters First to Die from "Zombie Deer" Disease

    Next they're gonna say we should voluntarily stop shooting lead bullets to save the children and pregnant women. And yet there is no evidence that hunters eating game shot with lead bullets have elevated lead levels. Just trust what you read, you'll be fine.

    RCBS Match Seater, need a 22 cal vld seating stem

    I finally worked it out with RCBS but if doing from scratch, I'd look to Hornady or anyone offering a seating die for the ELD. There was some back and forth and it took a few months with RCBS.

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    5 years ago or so Walmart was clearing out 700s for $79. I went down, asked the store manager for help, and he promptly said the last one was sold which I think it was sold to him lol. He scanned a Savage bolt gun of some sort in 7mm-08 for $48. I passed. Found out a week later Savage was...

    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    Found a lefthanded rifle assembled by John Bergmann. Been putting it to good use with .570 roundballs and a 100 grains of Swiss ffg.

    left hand barreled action

    I'd start with a lefty Tikka T3. If it shoots like most, your done. Spend the savings on ammo, components or optics.

    Shotgun people!

    Had an 11-48 in 16 gauge for a while. Personally I'd keep an eye open for a barrel on ebay or any of the auction sites. Probably less than messing with the current one. Any IC or Mod choke would be excellent. I had 4" cut off a 1950s shotgun to add screw in chokes to and the barrel walls were so...
