All - Jesus said “ I am the resurrection and the life: He that believes in me though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die “. John 11: 25-26 Jesus said “ I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me “...

IAN - Yes...I quite agree with you. My WBR1375 originally came w/ no Wichita logo on the side of the receiver. When I sent it back to them for an overall health check, it came back to me w/ their bullseye logo on the Lt side of the receiver; and a brand new re-finish on the outside. I also...

IAN - Howdy ! Whn making me my first custom varmint/target rifle, Fred Sinclair talked me out of going w/ a sleeved XP- 100 action; and convinced me to buy a Wichita WBR1375 benchrest action. As usual, it was sage advice from a master of benchrest rifle fabrication. The barrels, chamberings...

All - Went back and re-read the previous responses, and note that I did not read Zippy's comments carefully enough ( i.e. can't watch " Yellowstone " and respond to posts at the same time ! ) No... I could ( myself ) not accomplish the exacting level of performance or accuracy that Zippy...

Zippy - Howdy ! Yeh...I could shoot it. Now...how well might I do ?! As I mentioned in my initial post, I like to wildcat and experiment. Shooting example scores like you describe, would be a dream fer sher. I'd show up, and try to do my best, regardless. The .358" cal brass bullet...

Al - Here's a pic showing my " .358AutoMag " wildcat, with an example Cutting Edge .358" cal turned-brass 150gr Extended Range " Raptor " bullet along side. Lapua brass shown, but I also formed cases on Norma 7BR basic. With regards, 357Mag

Al - Howdy ! I enjoy wildcatting and experimenting. I think a really accurate .358"calibre rifle could be a lot of fun ! I've got a custom 22" SS .358" cal 5-groove that made for me by Red Scherer of North Manchester, IN back in 1977. I had SSK Industries chamber the barrel in my...

neck down to 6.5mm Humpy - Howdy ! It is possible you might have to do either an inside neck ream, or.... outside neck turn on the cases; if the neck-down from .308 to 6.5mm ends up thickening the neck walls too much. With regards, 357Mag

-06 wildcats Antelopedude & Oliveoil - Howdy ! Oliveoil told you square. Very, very well stated.... and throghtfully presented facts. With regards, 357Mag

-06 wildccats Antelopedude - Howdy ! I noted the rent-a-reamer website said there was a 6.5 -06AI, and a 6.5 X .280AI. I DK whether that helps you in any way ? Regards, 357Mag

-06 wildcats Antelpedundee - Howdy ! Right off the bat, I'm going to speculate that you can't do an easy shoulder shove downward on a case "mechanically "; when using dies w/ a 40* shoulder angle. That's too " sharp " of angle for brass to extrude around / through readily. And.... I...

reading Alinwa - Howdy ! I gravitate more towards tech-related aerospace writing ( magazines ) like " Aviation Week & Space Technology ". Their publication did more to widen my useful vocabulary than much of the dribble they tried to force me to read @ school. For novels and hardback...

.50 Alinwa - Howdy ! Thinking out loud on your .50 subsonic...... Let's say you have a stability factor already calc'd for a known/ proven load for .50BMG that uses the same bullet you want to use in the .50 subsonic. And, you also know pretty much how far out you want to apply the...

Cva Alinwa - Howdy, again ! Looks like I finally got some pics through. Some info..... The set of rings were just lying around, so I am using them to help set the dimensions of my ( upcoming ) homemade butt stock. My intent is for the butt stock design to especially accomodate the Rt...
