I shoot a 257 Roberts AI and a 7mm-08AI. When setting up my headspace i use a standard go gauge as a no-go gauge for my AI. I don't bother with a false shoulder or seating the bullet to jam.

I have a Ruger 77 MKII in 257 Roberts, and a Savage 111 that I rebarreled (after reaming the chamber) in 257 Roberts AI. Brass for both rifles is PPU (PVRI Partizan) 7X57 Mauser. Simple run through a 257 Roberts full length sizing die. Load and shoot. Looking at the list presented, my...

I'm running a 4-12X40 Redfield Revenge with Accu- Range Varmint reticle on my Savage Axis II in 250 Savage. Not the best glass, but I like that the reticle is a ranging setup and i don't need to grab the range finder.

I've been checking with my local distributor/wholesaler. Plenty of Federal, CCI, Remington and Winchester small rifle primers. No stock of large rifle primers or magnum primers.

Thank You!

May i ask, what model Zeiss, and what reticle?

Not to sound snarky, belittling, or any other way, but your best option is to get some and try them yourself. As per any reloading data. "This works in MY rifle. YOUR rifle is different. Same with shooting.

Isn't that essentially a 7mm LRM?? 375 Ruger necked down to .284. @Don Rackley , Are you looking for something "main stream" or something different? If different, then perhaps something along the lines of the Lazzeroni 7.21 Tomahawk, or a 7mm-378 Weatherby.

Crimson Trace Series 2 or Series 5. Both can be had for under $800. I have a Series 2. Kinda heavy, but illumination does that. With all my other scopes being 2nd focal plane, the 1st focal plane takes some getting used to. Glass is excellent!! Controls run smoothly (something I can't say...

I haven't tried Staball at all, yet. Curious as to how it does for the Rem Mag. I guess you get to try it and let us know how it does.

I'm anxiously awaiting for the second round. Looking to try for a reduced price cow tag.

Yeah, but you all will probably not like it. Yet another Rem 700 copy. Kinda like the Chevy Malibu of actions. For the cost & what it weighs, i bought a Weatherby Mark V Weathermark LT for less, and it weighs about the same. That's the magnum, 9 lug action and 26" barrel. Note, you can get a...

Vihtavouri for me also. The 500 series will net a little more speed. The 100 series is easier on throats.

It is, what it is...

Ok, things to bear in mind. 1) PA doesn't allow bait. 2) PA doesn't allow dogs for hunting big game. 3) most of PA's bear hunting is done with drives. 4) unless you're sitting on a farmers field, where he just harvested his corn, shots on bear in PA are mostly within 100 yards.
