I missed the "back in 3 weeks part". Haha

I was the initiator of the divorce. The relationship demise was mutual. We never addressed problems, but procrastinated. Basically got to the point of...

Going through a divorce, though I'm the instigator in my case. Not happy, not getting problems fixed, she is not the one and we were foolish to think we were meant for each other.

Didn't come easy. Three years ago I started a thread on another forum about this well known issue with LWD barrels. It took a lot of work, but things got changed because of the thread. They didn't...

Little long. 1.245-1.250 is plenty. Seat the bullet so the shoulder where the cone starts is just about the height of the case. You want to see a sliver of lead between the mouth and bullet cone.

Small primer on a large primer setup will be stopped by the swage rod not entering the pocket. Just pay attention and don't force anything.

I plan to involve the members that specialize in the work I need. I want to give back to those that helped me.

Here's my final plan:

- 375-06 Ackley Improved
- 24 inch barrel
- Timney trigger
- Iron sights
- Black walnut stock with monte carlo
- Stripper clips

I'll save the 30-06 cartridge for a...

I like the 44 special. Haven't a gun for it but some brass and a 44-250-K mold. Single action is first choice. A gp100 size da would be neat with a four inch barrel.

That's a great options I forgot about. A 375249 or 375449 would be a great boolit. I thought about the 400 Whelen but dismissed it due to headspace control issues. If I choose the 375-06 I will opt...

I thought about that too. I had a Mauser I rebarreled to 338-06 several years ago. Good cartridge. I haven't had a 30 or 35 caliber rifle yet. I'm leaning 30-06 because I hear great things about the...

Velocity at the target is closer to 650-850fps.

If both the teal and the shot intersect in the sky at exactly the same moment, the teal moves about 1/2 a foot in the same amount of time it takes...

Your bird numbers are generous. Tests in my link above indicate a 50mph bird moves only 1-2 feet by the time the shot arrives. The shot string length varies from 7-12 feet. And it is exactly the...

I strongly disagree. Here is more testing, math, and results showing shot string length doesn't matter in wingshooting.

I am not flush with money. That is the difference between well off and not. I have to scrounge money and do the labor myself as I can't afford to pay someone else.

I never liked the 06. Just never got my interest. 30 caliber is my cast bullet minimum. I did the 375 Holland, 416 Dakota and 45/70. Holland was my favorite of them.

Biggest animal hunted here is...

Cut shells are legal in Michigan.

I pattern quite a bit too and have done so for many customers over the years. The promo stuff also use less quality wads, primers, powder, and sometimes hulls. Winchester 100rd packs sold at Walmart...

Char-Gar, your rifle is about what I had in mind. Bare bones rifle with iron sights and a pile of boolit cartridges loaded on stripper clips.

Originally I wanted to build a Remington Model 7 in 358 WCF, but this action just came along for a good price and out came the debit card.

I was thinking that would be the case. An M1 Garand is...

I match the meat color with the broth. Red meat gets stock from such and white meat gets stock from the same. Chicken and pork get chicken broth and venison and beef get beef broth. First choice I...

I have a 1903A3 (Remington) bolt and receiver on the way and to be delivered tomorrow (Monday). I am quite perplexed at the cartridge choices available to me. I know the original is the 30-03 which...

Local club is best. They usually buy by the pallet and resell to the members. Several clubs I know of have a quarterly group buy on shot. Reclaimed shot is also pretty cheap and an online search will...

Awesome! Gives me something to work toward. Today marks 6 months for me. One day at a time...

The knowledge that I gained the most from this forum is the practical ballistics of a hunting boolit. Design, cartridges, alloys, and tuning for effectiveness. As a result, I have significantly...

90% of my hunting is small game, so I'd go with a Marlin 1894C in 357 Magnum. Most of my shooting would be cast bullets in 38 Special cases. If I wanted long range ammo or to deer hunt, I'd use 357...
