So you applied forearm pressure to the barrel? I have heard of shiming the barrel at the action. I am going to place it with the smith and see if he can d0 straight it out. Also like for a CZ in 17SWM rifle. Not sure if they are still making them.

Thanks for the info. I have one with Savage, and not to happy with the accuratic. I am going to have the smith look it over and see if we can get it to settle down.

I was hunting in Nev. a great many years ago. Strong wind to my face and the Muley Doe was facing the same way. I walked up to her butt and touch it with my rifle barrel. Did she ever jump. Had good🤣😂😅. Another time bow hunting in Montana. I was doing a short stand hunt in the ground calling elk...

That what's I was going to add.😀. I strongly feel that the case neck should be cut to even out the thickness of the neck. For release and annealing evenly. It may not be needed on the necks hitting the chamber wall unevenly. That may or may not cause a very small problem. When I finally get my...

You should look at what the europen countries that colonize Africa did. If you call that right and just, I would think again. That why the Memro Doc was created in the USA. The USA never setup colonies in any country.

Can you really blame them. It goes both ways. The whiteman really took the people there, and the Blackman didn't really do much to help themselves either. I've been to Africa twice, and, and most of the country are really poor. Some of those country only educate into the third grade. It's...

I use Hornday 350gr, H110 43.5grs, LRP, Velocity 1997fps, FPE 3100. Or Barnes 325gr, 44.4gr, H110, LRP, Velocity 2101fps, FPE 3186, best load. Its a handful. It's a 2 hander to shoot. These loads were chrongraph. Note the Larger Rifle Primers. Talk to Hornday people about this. I had read about...

You also have to draw the firearm too. That's why I got a 500SW in a 4". Still a lot of recoil. Controling the piece is or can be a problem. I am kind of rethinking and possible going to a 44mag. It would be a short barrel too. 4" max.

Well that's the way it should have been, but that didn't happen. They lost the order and didn't want to the order place back in line. 90 days was the wait at that time. They finally own up that they had lost or missed placed the order. How that? Anyway I lost my place and continue to way for the...

In England? Going thru England with a firearm it's my understanding was impossible. Now if you are setting up for match. You have people picking items up for you.That's possible a different story, but just travel through there on your way to Africa was a different story. That was 2018. So I...

I got bounces around there too. I guess I have a dark cloud over my head. That reamer took a year too. Finally got it. Lost paper work again.

VIT N550 is about .5fps increase per degree. If you can use H4350 it's .04fps increase.

The other thing is you don't want to go New York. It's a real pain also. You can't receive your firearm without a police there. They have to inspect your firearm and they can't touch it either. The shipping case has to be locked up. Your own personal locks, and have and extra key. the last time...

Go the net and look. Look at Graf & Son or Ballistic Products.

At lease you can bring a gun here. Some items are needed to bring it in, but in England that's totally different. Not allow to bring in a rifle or go through there on your way to Africa or other parts in Europe. Also I am supprise you are allowed to own a rifle or shotgun their. Anyway welcome.
