I see that you are from the dry side of the state...... Im hunting the SW area this year. I grew up down there and know the country well. Then there is the fact I come from a family of loggers and a bunch of them are still at it. They let me know where the critters are. Hunting the west side...

Albany...................For now.

The feed lips are bent in a bit. A friend of mine has looked at the pictures and when we both can get the time we are going to tackle this project. The follwer looks to be the hardest part. Im thinking I can get a stuck plastic one to work with a little tweeking. Another thing that might pose a...

Hmmm, I bet I could make one. I have a life time supply of mags laying around. I have access to sheet metal and a small metal break. Bending the feed lips over wouldnt be a problem at all. The hardest thing to make would be the follower. To me it looks like it was machined out of solid UHMW.

Thanks guys. I will use the SSC in my .243 and .243 AI. Max load with .243 and a 100 Gr. Partition is compressed with 7828, The SSC shouldnt be? Im pretty new to the reloading game, I appreciate all the wisdom I can get.

Should I treat the SSC different or just laod it the same as the regular stuff? I have both on hand.

75 Gr V-max 48.5 gr H414 or Win 760 Win case WLR primers I have been using this load for varmints in My Model 700 VS .243 that was reamed to AI. Groups under 1/2" if I do my part. This loads makes small critter blow up and bigger critters fall over in the tracks.

Im located in the Mid Willamette Valley. We hunt around the valley, the coast range, cascade foot hills and The east side of the state when I make it over there. Im wanting to get over to the Chemult and Beaver Marsh area here soon.

A buddy and I went out this afternoon to do a little Gray digger killing. For rifles I brought along my Model 700 VS in .243 AI and my 16" Bull barreled AR. My buddy brought along his Model 700 VS .22-250. Our goal was 200 yard plus shots at diggers. We both ended up killing 1 each. His at 210...

I saw a big boar Friday!!! 225 yards off the road. Gun was unloaded, cased and crammed behind the seat. The bear was just off a main road on private property. I watched it for 20 minutes. Come to find out, I could have taken the bear from that property................... Oh well, Went out...

No snow in my area, just windy, cool unstable crap! It cant decide if it wants to rain or if the sun wants to shine..... I guess they are calling for snow in the higher elevations.

If the weather stays like it is I wont be hunting for awhile. I may try to get out one evening next weekend and check the spots we saw all the bear during last Elk season. I have until May 31st to knock one down.

Until spring bear opens!!!

Browning brass. What is the deal with this stuff? Also, How about the old WW Super brass? I got a bunch of each from my uncle. It was some old reloads he did when he had a .300 Win Mag. They were loaded with 150 grain pills, I shoot 180's in mine, So a buddy and I punished ourselves killing...
