.308W. That is all.

No. ffs.

No. But I'd want to have a really good look at the lock up mechanism. Don't want to end up with a Blaser R93 issue.

RWS makes the best brass. Not on survey ?

Took a .308W to Africa after Plains Game with 165 Woodleigh PPSN. All performed above expectations.

Finally found my old photo. 140 Woodleigh. Photo has been photo shopped to remove signs of blood for publication elsewhere. Of course animal looks large but it was still a monster.

Has anyone used the Vickerman system of seating dies. How do they hold up to their claims ? I see the RCBS Competition Seater Die is very similar. Thx in advance.

I have shot feral camels with a 264WM and 140 Woodleighs. Worked a charm.

I didn't say it was totally useless. If you read his book HE CLAIMS he was slaughtering naive (never been shot at) large herds of elephant from atop a step ladder to get the angle he needed. He doesn't mention how many he wounded or how many shots he made per animal. Different times. I can...

Go with a standard action. Don't expect too much from the 7x57. It is what it is. It is no wonder cartridge but is surrounded by myth and romanticism. Great for 200 kg deer but not much else.

Yes. Weatherby imported Howas as an entry level rifle. Some had an accuracy guarantee with factory match ammo. Now they all have the same guarantee. Same action.

Great value rifle. There are aftermarket stocks and triggers available. I have three. Weatherby Vanguard in .300 Weatherby and Howas in 6.5 Grendel and .308. All the same manufacturer.

Break-in procedure goes back to corrosive primers and black powder. Its time to move on. It's good for the OCD crowd but with modern manufacturing techniques, really ?

Outstanding.

Yes I have both. A Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby and a Howa in .308W. Despite the action lengths they are the same rifle.
