Gary Moore, Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa. So sorry Gary passed away. Poor falla, he was eight times over the limit. Must have liked the drink.......

This is my .358 Omark single shot. It has a 20" barrel. It will shoot 1" groups @100yards all day. I use the RCBS 200gr'er. The powder i use is ADI H2206 and the speed is around 1800fps. It is fairly...

This was shot at 100meters. One after the other using a 30m BR.

Very happy with mine, though the hammer fall is lite. I use large pistol primers now wich has solved the broblem for me. Also likes the RCBS 30-180-FN. Very good lite trigger and smooth action....

I use the same load in my new Rio Grande 30/30. This load shoots 1" @ 100 yards. I have no luck with the 170gr LEE, but the RCBS 30-180-fn is the best by far. Shoots better than any jb'.

There is hope for us all. That's one for common sense. Only wish the Australian government will wake up too themselves and follow suit. Best wish's to our Canadian friends.

Sounds like we have the same problems. Going by the serial number they made 11000 units from the one I returned to my new one and the extractor is differant. ( from stainless to blued steel.) I too...

Tested my new stainless Rio Grande 30-30, I noticed only one in ten rounds would fire. It would'nt extract to well and the barrel only had half it's rifling. Also there was a lot of tool marks on the...

I went the other way. I slugged my .358win @ .356. I dropped down to .357 from .358. The group went from 2" to 1" @ 100meters using the RCBS 35-200-fn.

The only thing I can see wrong with the Rio Grande is the hammer strike is not hard enough. I will have to return the gun to be fixed. Looks like tool marks on the bolt face and firing pin. The bore...

The RCBS 180Gn'r and one inch groups. That looks like your 'go to' load.
That was done out of a ute onto a tree. I would be happy with twice that group. Anyway I had some crud in my die and it...

Finally got my stainless 30/30 Rio Grande. Looks and feels great. I had some left over rounds from my Savage 30/30. I chambered and click! oh no plus other words. cocked the hammer and away it went....

It even made the news here in Australia ~ funny as long as no one got hurt.:p

Sorry robertbank. This is Australia, we gotta get a permit. It takes forever. There system is in overload and a disgrace. Can take three weeks or three months. I bought the gun but can't pick it up...

I just bought one. They look to be well made ~ stainless so hard wearing, will make a good truck gun. I was worried about what Rayc said about the 170gr boolit not loading. I asked the guy about it...

Thanks rayc. Shame about the 170 not loading. Iv'e got the 180 RCBS. Love to hear the results thought.
