Nah, but check back with me on a liver in a year or two if you still have the itch! ;)

I've got to think that depends on where tha accurcy issues are. Neither the parent 7x57 or 257 Rbts is inherently inaccurate. A good barrel on a less than ideal chamber might perform a lot better...

Speer #9 (1974) lists 8.5-9.0 Herco for 375 160 JSp if that helps at all.

Yep, no problem with their function, just more base than the Weaver style and not as clean looking.

That's what I should have done too. The Weaver bases and regular Zee rings weren't good, and although the Leupold bases work, the rear base does hang out over the falling block. No great...

Who doesn't like a 257?! I'm scared to look at one of the #1's because I don't even have the last gun itch sorted out yet and (and barely paid for) and I don't need anothert this soon.

I...

I got one last year but since I've owned it only shot some Lapua 'Mega' factory loads that Graf's had a good price on. Cost me less for loaded ammo to fire form than to buy brass and bullets.

35 Whelen or another 35 cartridge of your choice (358 Win, 350 Rem Mag). For what you say you're going to use it for, bullet selection plus ability to use handgn bullets for plinking gives it a big...

Finally got some tolerable weather (sunny, 18, and light wind) and nothing more pressing to do and shot up my first box of 38-55's.

Velocities were a bit less than expected with Unique - 1066 fps...

The one I bought last year, a Medium Sporter in 9.3xx74R, is very nice looking and so far seems tolerably accurate, although I've shot factory Lapua 286 gr ammo through and haven't yet worked up any...

Doug, Thanks for the offer but all the 7-08 brass I have I bought after I bought the Handi a few years ago. Dunno what you're considering 'a whole bunch' but I was figuring on purchasing a hundred...

I'm starting to hate this site. I was happily anticipating ording a a 243 barrel for my Handi Rifle presently chamber in 7mm-08. I was going to cut the original stock, which has been replaced, down...

Got the rifle and loaded some ammo but no shot fired yet. Snow yesterday, which made using the chronograph pointless, and today it's 21 degrees and wind's blowing 25+ with on and off snow showers. ...

This the source of that sight?

Thanks. I saw the Leupold's on CDNN also for $15 or so also. I was hoping to go with Weaver style rings just because I like them better. I was agonizing about whether to order a scope and was...

Can someone show me a picture of an 1885 with a smallish (say, 2-7x32mm) modern scope and mounts on this rifle? What bases? Rings?

Yeah, I know, sacreligious, but I can't see irons. Thanks. ...

Excellent! UPS and Fedex came through on delivery of new dies, starline brass and the Midway boolits. And I've an email confirmation that the rifle has been delivered to my dealer, which I'll pick...

". . . our own "Bullshop??" OK, can someone tell where to locaate this? I'm assuming it's a store associated with this site? Thanks.

Thanks, no, not with a curved butt plate! I'm thinking that would NOT be a happy thing.:smile:

I was looking for advice and suggestions, and thoughts on my intended load components and goals for...

[QUOTE=405;1104417]I imagine that anyone here with a recent Miroku 1885 QUOTE]

Well? Any other Miroku 38-55 owners with suggestions?

And it looks like a good plan would be to back my velocity...

Hey! First post here so please let me know if it's better posted in one of the other forums.

I just ordered one of the Davidson's 'short hunter' 38-55's and am in the process of ordering dies,...
