Mine is a 1909 Argentine Mauser action with a Shillen Barrel. Built in 2005.
Its a good shooter. I left the barrel long @ 27”. That extra legnth nets me some Better velocity numbers. It shoots Hornady 200g at 2900 fps with 2520 and is really linking RL15 and a 225g Accubond.
My fun load is 3031 and a 280 NOE RN boolit!

Is that a CVA hunter? Looks just like mine. Working up a load for my coated and gas checked lee 200 grain cast bullets.
My latest is a M70 Featherweight with a Pac-Nor 1:14 on it. I have been shooting the NOE Thumper with WC852 and getting some nice groups. I also have a Rem 721 with a Douglass XX Barrel, just like Skeettx, but mine is still has the solid bottom metal.

Yes, RL15 is great powder for the Whelen. I may have some starting data for it with a 300 grn bullet. I am getting 2100 with the WC852f.

Remington 700 Classic, can't post a picture for a couple weeks, loaned it to a friend to take to Africa. Hopefully, some really neat pictures will come back with my rifle.

Savage 110, no barrel nut, Boyd's featherweight thumb-hole (not lightweight at all), Shaw barrel 1-14 twist. Shaw barrel quality has come a long way since I started using them decades ago.
This is the first load I tried with a P.C.d bullet. A Saeco mold #351 200 grain plain base.
100 yards. Later when cleaning the rifle I noticed I didn't tighten the front scope ring.
Those who choose violence as a first option are typically confronted by somebody else using violence as a last resort.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Do not confuse my being polite for weakness.
