I am looking for a heavy 2506 take off bbl for a friend. A long 257 bbl that could be cut off and rechambered would also work. Thanks in advance.

col is 3.945 with .030 jump limited range time. 300 yds

it does take an awful lot of powder. We hope to get to the range and do some 300 and 600 and maybe 900 yd groups with the two best loads in order to see if the RL 33 and the extra velocity is worth it.

Just thought I would put this out there for other people building or shooting the 338 edge. I helped a buddy put his together and now am helping him work up loads and get zeroed in. We used the standard load with h1000 and also I wanted to try RL 33. I am so far very impressed with the 33. I...

The stw strikes again. I just set a new personal best 827 yds on a doe. 162 amax DRT. I love this gun.:D:D:D

Happy turkey day to everyone. It is already a good day for me. I went out hunting this morning and set up in an old milk barn. I was watching a large group of does and thought I better get set up to shoot that direction. About five minutes after getting adjusted all of the does scattered. I...

Well another deer met its fate at the hands of a 7stw and 162 grain amax. I let a buddy of mine shoot one this evening at 585 yds DRT. As is the norm for everyone I have let shoot it one of his first phrases was " I gotta get one of those". I giggle like a little girl when I watch one of my...

The eight point was about an 80 inch deer but not bad for a 15 year old that doesnt get to hunt much. My season is just starting I have been spending most my time letting my kids and nephew fill their tags. They all want to use my "cannon". My son and nephew want me to build them one just like...

Well the STW strikes again. I took my nephew out for the youth hunt this weekend and he killed an eight point at 50 yds and a doe at 509 yds.

load is 162 amax over RL 25 @ 3300fps. I gave the hog away to a buddy so I didnt see the insides. The bullet didnt exit but the hog never twitched. shot placement was in the neck just forward of the shoulder.

First kill of the year with stw. 218 lbs. only about 300 yds but drt.

Just one more idea. I was helping my gunsmith one day when a guy brought in a .257 wby that was showing very high pressure signs with factory ammo. We put a bore scope down the tube and it was completely covered with copper. After a very thorough cleaning we fired the rifle and the pressure...
