I use the RCBS collet puller and it works great. About two months ago my best friend called me and related how he was pulling bullets from some old ammo with his kinetic puller. He was really shaken up. He had a primer go off in the puller. The powder did not ignite but it sure got his...

4rked Horn: I was born in June of 1945 and I am left handed. Fortunatly I am right eye dominant so I shoot right handed and do not have to buy a leftie rifle. Those camoed rifles sure do look nice but I would be afraid to set one down in the woods for fear I wouldn't be able to find it again. MJS

JCB: Yes the Ballistic Plex scope helped me make the 2nd shot. I placed the scope on the Ram between the 400 and 500 yard cross hatches. I am a believer in Ballistic Plex scopes and lazer range finders. I was using a Leica 1200 range finder which is an outstanding product. I have been...

Roy: You mentioned putting lead shot in the buttstock. I have heard horror stories of lead wool in buttstocks oxiding and swelling and splitting wood stocks. I do not know if shot will do the same thing or not. When I placed lead shot in one on my rifles I poured parrafin wax around it to...

Whitewolf; I think that for the money the Winchester supershadow is hard to beat. Sure it has an ugly stock but I can live with an ugly rifle as long as it is functional. I think the supershadow goes for around $500.00 I favor the Leupold VXIV in 2.5-8 with the boone and crocket reticle. I...

Cowboy The longest shot I have taken to date on game was with my 338 Win Mag Ruger 77. I got it at a steal for $250.00 from a gentleman who won it at a Mule Deer Foundation dinner. I installed a Burris 4-12 compact with their ballistic-plex reticle on it. I developed a load that sent the 200...

Brent Thanks for the data. This is my first true wildcat rifle and I am enjoying working with it. MJS

Brent: My barrel is 24". The rifle with 2.5X8 Leupold weighs 7.5 pounds. I am interested primarly in 200-225 grain bullets. I plan on using it for Dall Sheep in your great state. My brother lives in Juneau so he is my guide. The reason for the 338 is for Griz insurance. I wanted a lighter...

I just recieved my new toy. I had a Win mod 70 in 300 WSM rebarreled with a Lija 338 barrel in 338-300 WSM. Now I need some load data. The 338 WSM holds about 6 grains less powder than the 338Win and 13 grains more powder than the 338/06. These figures are to the base of the neck. Anyone...
