Ah ! There in lies my problem ! I have seating dies from RCBS, and a Redding competition seater, and both have a small stem, that just fits the bullet close to the tip. Who makes a seater that touches the bullet close to the ogive ? Again thanks !! Jim

First I sorted 100 bullets by their ogive. about half were real close. I then began seating these into charged casings. I proceeded to measure the ogive again including the case, now I had variation in the ogive again. The distance between the tip, and the ogive was the culprit. I...

Please disregard the above post ! I googled, and found out what I needed to know ! Thanks anway ! Jim

I just ordered a Thompsom Center G2 frame set, for an old Contender Carbine, 222 barrel, I've had laying around. What's the difference between the Contender and the G2 ? Thanks guys ! Jim

Thanks guys !!!! That's just what the doctor ordered !! Jim

I just picked up an old Redfield 3x9. Can anyone direct me to a reputable repair! It needs crosshairs and what ever else. Thanks guys ! Jim

I LOVE MY VANGUARD ! Several years ago I bought a Vanguard in 223, at Wally world, the test target display was well under an in., so I bought it, it is my favorite P dog shootin iron. It's smooth and accurate, I topped it with a Leopold VX 1. and Burris Signature rings. Jim

Mobridge was our last hunt in 2007. A ranch that had lots of dogs the year before, had poisoned. We opted to hunt reservation, that was a mistake ! We went accross the River and North. We spent a lot of our 4 day hunt finding dogs, but got lucky. A rancher was planning on poisoning, but...

I and a group of friends, have gone out PD hunting for years to Chamberlin SD. Most of the places we went to have all poisoned !!! Except for those that want to charge $$ Every year it becomes a challenge to find a place. I won't go into details, but I have a bad taste in my mouth for...

`Thanks Vic !! Jim

Ive done just a little testing with the two 700 SPS's I have, and I'm not there yet ! So far, I've tried the Factory, and 18.5grs of Benchmark, with a 20gr Vmax, and a Rem 71/2primer with an overal length of 1.834. Does anyone have any pet loads for the 17?

What scope are you using? Jim

I had one of those SPS's that was'nt chambered right ! Lucky for me, it left a ring on the ogive of the rounds, and I caught it before firing it. Sportsmans Warehouse, sent it back, and it was repaired. They intalled a new bolt and trigger, as well as finished the chamber. The head space is...

Give the 35gr Hornady Vmax a try ! They work great in my Contender Carbine that started as a Hornet, and rechambered to 221. I loaded this at the low end with Lil gun, and 6 1/2 Rem. primers. Good luck ! Jim

Back in the 80s, I had a few Rem 71/2 primers blow small holes. These came from military 5.56, that I resized trimmed and loaded for my 222 Rem. In each case that blew holes in the primer, The flash hole was off center in the case. I laid the blame on this. Jim

Just one last thought, the resale value will definitely be higher on the Remington ! Jim

Well as a rule of thumb, any 22 rifle with a barrel good enough to put 10 bullets into the X ring at 50ft on a NRA indoor 50ft target, is good enough for me! Jim

Thanks Dave ! Nearly 30 yrs ago, I purchased a new 513T barrel from SARCO. It was parkerized, and shoots very well. I was hoping to again have such good luck ! Do you know of any good sources for 513T barrels ?

I have both, and use them mostly on P dogs. In all honestly they both work fine! The Weatherby is smooth, all steel, and the synthetic stock is better! It also has a tighter chamber, with less freebore! The trigger is also adjustable The Remington has alot going for it, with after the market...

Has anyone tried one, and are they any good ? Thanks!!
