The cartridge name you are looking for is the 6.5-'06. It still wins the occasional match, and its ballistic twin, the 6.5-.284 is no stranger to the winner's circle.

You're THE man, JackQuest. Thank you, very much.

I know I can subscribe to this thread without making a comment; but, then it wouldn't get a bump.

OK, rather than posting a PM to BTS, maybe I can just get the answer here.

I seem to remember BTS posting a thread on his .40-08. I've tried every combo of search terms I can think of, but...

Your parameters also sound like 2-stroke motor oils for liquid cooled engines. (which is probably why you've already explored them). Once-through use, temperature should max-out at about 150°F and...

Everyone has to answer the "extra" questions now. The board has had a big problem with spam and bogus accounts, when the sys-admin announced the new measures he was sorry; but unless someone...

Except if you are interested in loading cast boolits, then all the info is right here.

You are correct, it is easily doable. One thing that you might consider is having the 760 rechambered for .308, then you won't have to worry about it again.

The press I started on was my father's RCBS Jr, and the linkage could be reversed to operate in either direction (apparently in the early 1960's that was a selling feature!). Your ram would have...

A good wash with saddle soap is a fine start, then begin treating it before it is completely dry. Neatsfoot oil is great; but beware of "Neatsfoot oil compound" it contains other stuff that can...

In a long bolt action, what does the Creedmore offer over the Swede or the .260?

I'd happily pay $10/lb plus shipping for a few pounds of CeroSafe, after christmas (50 days and counting!)

Something like this?:

If they are the mid-length actions, I'd probably go for a .243 or maybe a .260 Rem or a 6.5x57 for the one, and for the second I'd think about a 9.3x57, or a .338 Fed.

Are these full-length Mauser '98 s ?
Then I'd definitely go with 6.5-'06 and .338-'06. Probably make the .338 an Improved design.

I've had one for about 20 years now, couldn't even guess the number of rounds through it, but it would be in 10,000 range.

Draw-backs...
> Heavy trigger pull and no easy way to fix it....

Your analogy is not really applicable here. Instead of opening the door and shouting, you've been listening to the conversations, then right after someone finishes speaking you yell "You're stupid!"...

If you're going to get it re-threaded, you can get it rechambered at the same time. .350 Rem is a pretty nice chambering...

There must be some variation depending on maker or time period, because mine won't take a .30-06 into the mag box. (I don't have any loaded Whelen ammo to try)
Also the loaded -'06 shell would not...

Or the commercial equivalent, .358 Winchester.

Or if you want to squeeze the most performance out of that action, go .358-.284Win, that will get you the same powder capacity as the .35...

In our little town, we've put on a rodeo since 1919, all run by volunteers.
In the past 3-or-4 years, it's been getting harder and harder to find the people to run it.


We have a volunteer...

OKay.. so if the 8mm stuff was so unusual, why even bring it up when we were talking about the 7.62x54?

And making the Mex-match is a quick process, especially if you have a press that swaps dies...

Really? I'm assuming that you didn't get many neck splits on firing, am I right there?
Which operation of the Mex-match process caused the neck splitting?

And anyway, we're talking about the...

I know that this has been done for about a century.
I also know that occasionally a core separates from a jacket and the jacket stays in the barrel and the next bullet hits that bore obstruction,...

Duke: I do realize that the set does somewhat depend on the raw material; but I'll bet that the same set that makes .30 cal jackets from 9mm could also be used to make .30 cal jackets from .30...
