Brass is here. http://www.grafs.com/metallic/692 They deliver to your door for $4.75, or did the last time I ordered. I believe phone orders are another dollar shipping. That`s still cheaper then a 35 mi each way.

Grayfox offered good advice. I`d add though for a younger shooter you might want to look at Noslers 100 gr Partition for deer and the ballistictip for everything else. I`ve found the 100 gr BT to be very accurate in 2 different 260s and the partition was designed for deer with the 260 Rem...

Just an old wifes tale that just refuses to die......

Case is American made. Benchmade "Blue box" knifes are American made, "Red Box" models are made in asia. Buck I believe is mostly US assembeled but, has some brands made in Asia also. Gerber is owned by Fiskars (Dutch) and I`ve heard can be made in both the states or over seas. Schrade I hear...

Not a VDL bullet but data is here for the 130 gr Accu-bond which makes for a good starting point. http://www.nosler.com/index.php?p=15&b=6.5mm&s=221

Benchmade offers a couple within your price point. Steels and quality are top notch.

SAAMI pressure max for the 257 RBTS is 45K "CUP" the +P version is 48K "CUP" this is not a psi measurment. SAAMI PSI max pressure is 54,000 and thre +P is 58 K. The 58K load is not far from most modern cartridge loadings. All manuals I know of load to the SAAMI specs -both std and +P- and are...

The only difdference between the Winchester and Norma versions of the 6.5x284 is in headspace. The bodies are the same as you can see in drawings of both found here..... http://stevespages.com/page8d.htm

http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/3227300/Marlin_XL7_experience#Post3227300 A few reports.........

I believe you`re refering to Speers statment that a Lee "Factory Crimp Die" was detrimental to accuracy if used on a un-cannalured bullet. The war seems to be still going in some circles. Lee users swear Speer knows nothing of their bullets and others don`t believe a crimp helps.. From Speers...

I use it to wash out harsh bore cleaners such as JB or Rem Clean, or spray down a shotgun that was dunked or rained on in the duck marsh. For rust prevention and lubrication CLP or FP-10 are used.

I`ve seen a few reports on the 24hr campfire site that were very positive. The concensus there is they are very accurate and a good value. I`m interested in what posters here feel....

Not the 1st I`ve heard of this. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1370&dat=19960617&id=gKEVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=WgsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3199,2655855 I believe this one was a walleye as I remember it.

No 125gr but, 120gr, 150gr 168gr, 139gr.....http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowseProducts.aspx?pageNum=1&tabId=3&categoryId=7947&categoryString=653***690*** The 149 is a good choice for deer sized game, the 120 Nosler BT is another. I`ve used the 139 gr Hornady on deer along with the 140...

Nosler uses the same jacket for their 7mm 120 gr BT as the 140 gr BT, the difference is they cut a touch off the nose to shorten it to proper lenght. This results in a very tough thick jacketed bullet, one that works well on deer/sheep sized game. I doubt a dog offers enough resistance at most...

I`ve had very good luck with either H4895 or Benchmark and the 52gr Hornady or Sierra match Hps`. One rifle has a 1/9" twist the other a 1/12". Heavier bullets (55-69gr) over Varget work quite well also, but I see no real world difference out to 200-250 yds with them in either wind or drop. Also...

I agree with LHSmith`s assessment of heat getting to your barrel. I`ve a M84Classic in 260 that heats very quick due to the pencil wgt barrel they use. The extreem light weight of the rifle overall also is not condusive to accurate shooting without some concintration. The fluted barrels they use...

I`m seriously concidering having someone look at it. I`m certainly not the worlds most qualified:D As I said I`ve play with it some but I`m a bit leery of going much further on the adjustments. It works and appears safe now, I don`t want to go too far and create a unsafe trigger that bites me 6...

The trigger was cleaned when the broken part was replaced a couple weeks ago. I don`t think that is the problem but, I will try giving it a rinse with lighter fluid and blow it out just in case... I don`t know the part that was replaced but I took the rifle in when the sear was tripping as the...

Hello, I`ve a M700 that has seemed to have developed a bit of creep over the years. I recently had it repaired (a broken part replace) and hoped the creep problem would go away when it was done. Nope! Didn`t happen. I finally gave in and decided to play with it myself. I have adjusted a couple...
