Not this again! Hi Speedy: From what I have been taught over the years about gas flow, I must say NO to your question! Perhaps there are some people out there who have been trained in basic physics can chime in with some facts...

Hey Stonewall Which town was that in Alberta was it that you got hurt? As I used to live in Alberta, I am would like to know. Last month while in Mexico, I met a chap who lived in the Peace River area all of his life and did his hunting and fishing at the same places where I...

Hello: Is there any reason why I should not inlet a stock without the barrel attached to the action? It appears that it would be much easier not to have the weight of the barrell to handle when inletting the action. Any thoughts about this idea...

.338 Gibbs Hi Keith: Thanks for the information on the Gibbs. I must find time to shoot my Gibbs Where does the time go? Zeke

To Ackman You are correct! My mistake. It was CHeetahman. Zeke

Ackman To put this to rest, your statement that your Swift cases grow like wildfire does not mirror my experience. I have shot the Swift since 1963 and I have never had a case growth problem. I used the same RCBS dies for both rifles. Perehaps it is your chamber or perhaps your reloading...

To Keith et al re Gibbs cartridges Hi Keith: Tell me about your .338 Gibbs. I built a .30 Gibbs several years ago and I have yet to shoot it. I have no idea as what I will discover when I begin to play with this thing. Before I get to the Gibbs there is a 7mm Rem Mag that I...

220 Ackley advantages ???? Hi Ramshooter: Your take on improved cases seems to be just the opposite of what my common sense and past experience has told me. If one makes the case capacity larger, I think that one must use more powder to equal the same velocity as the smaller...

Ruger 77 Hi: Buy it and have it rebarreled. If you do not want to take the chance, let me know where it is. I need an action. Good luck, Zeke

.243 Ackley??????? Hi: Please explain to me what the attraction to the .243 Ackley is. If one improves the .243, one has a cartridge that has the same capacity as a factory round,the 6mm Remington. Why bother? Another example of a usless round is the .250 Ackley. When improved...
