I zeroed my .375 Weatherby at 80 yards because that's how long my range is. Would have used 100 if I could get it. Need to clear some trees...

MPI stocks in Oregon (Actually I believe they've moved to Vancouver across the river now...) will do you a full custom. Takes a while....and it's not a drop in. But they can finish it rough and your local gunsmith can finish it (you could if you're handier than me) or you can send them the...

I know it's a "Small Bore," but my .375 Wby weighs 13.5 lbs loaded. I work out, and carry it (or a dumbell) through the woods. It is heavy, but that helps me manage it. The .460 will be about a pound lighter. The .375 does have a 16 ounce mercury recoil reducer in the stock. The .460 has a...

Beemaa, I used 120's and dropped dozens of Bambi's with this calibration. It's good JooJoo!

Man it's excellent! I've smoked a TON of white tail deer with a .25-06. Mine is a Remington 700 BDL. I got it when I was like 13 in 1983. Prior to that I'd killed deer with another 700 BDL in .22-250 (which works wonders and is NUCLEAR on deer if you hit them right). It's a great caliber...

Yup, that's it!

My dad bought a turning hook after he hurt his back one time trying to roll a big log over. I think Husky made it. It sure helps!

I could only afford one, so have a Stihl MS361 with a 20" bar. One of the contractors working for me that cut trees a lot used one and swore by it. Dad has one of those, and a smaller Stihl.... He uses the smaller one 95% of the time but then gets the heavier one out now and then. I could only...

One of the benefits of the ugly (but I like them, and am building my second rifle with one) A-Square Coil-Check stock is that the pistol grip has a cone shape to it. It's subtle, and not easy to see, but it works. It gets larger as you get closer to the trigger guard. The thought was that you...

MY 1909 Parker. I like it a lot :)

I have a Model 70 Super Grade in 7mm Rem Mag and used it to take the biggest deer I've ever taken. It wasn't a great shot, but the 7 had enough zoot to still put him down for good. I really like Model 70's. A couple years ago I came across a pair of new ones on Guns America or International...

I hope to get my Cape Buffalo now in the next four years...with either my .375 Weatherby M1917 or my .460 Weatherby M1917 :)

I'm not sure. Maybe not. The .450 Jeffrey and the .460 Weatherby are basically the same thing. Only real difference is the Weatherby has a belt. Way back in the 1950's, Roy Weatherby took the .416 Rigby case, added a belt, and necked it down to .378. The thing was basically nuclear. He...

.460 Weatherby. I'm building one, right now, on an Enfield M1917 action, with an A-Square stock with two mercury recoil reducers. We'll see how hard it beats me :) Ballistics are hard to beat....

I'm building an A-Square Hannibal clone in .460 Weatherby right now. Magazine will hold three plus one in the tube....I figure four is enough for a turn bolt. My original A-Square clone is a .375 Weatherby which I think is an excellent cartridge. I've put about 60-80 .375 H&H's out of it and...

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 MV^2 Momentum = MV So really, they're both velocity dependent. I will agree that once you start getting up there in velocity that it does blow stuff up. I really like the .264 Winchester on deer, but it blows them up much more than a .270 Winchester does. I use a .270...

For anyone that wants to compute their pet load.... Energy in foot pounds = 0.5 * (bullet weight in grains / 7000) * (velocity)^2 / 32.17 Example: .375 Weatherby with 300gr at 2885 ft/s (I've chrono-graphed two of mine and got 2885 and 2889 ft/s) Energy = (0.5)*(300/7000)*(2885)^2 / 32.17...

Luvthunt, I went on their site and didn't see this one. Does it have another model name?

Hard to argue $180!

Hi Gang, I just loaded some .460 Weatherby Magnum rounds in my old trusty RCBS Rock Chucker Press. The .458 Lott I loaded in it was pushing it, but the .460 Roy was really too long for this press. I had to stick the bullet up into the die with my right hand, then feed the case into the shell...

I love the .264 Winnie. It's NUCLEAR on white tail deer :)

"It's better to burn out, than fade away!" - The Kurgan (who might have stolen it from Joan Jett....) The Kurgan is much cooler than Joan Jett....

It sure is pretty!

Hard to pick just three!

I know they're ugly, but I'm building my second rifle with an A-Square Coil-Check stock. They just work at mitigating recoil. I was going to do a .460 Weatherby...and I guess I still could since I haven't reamed the chamber yet...and have a set of dies for it. But had settled on the .458 Lott...

I have one of the later MK XXII's...the bolt action which is really an Anshutz 164 (which itself is excellent...I also have one of them that's older than me in .22magnum) with a Weatherby stock in .17 HMR. I really like it. I didn't realize they only made them a couple years and discontinued...

I have an Accumark in .270 Weatherby and love it. It's a tack driver, and very fast. I shoot 130's at over 3300 ft/s with it. I've only ever had one deer take one step with it, and that was a bad shot on my part. Every other one they're dead before they hit the ground. I'd orignally bought...

I'm an aerospace engineer. Just got a Colt Walker. I love guns. Building a .458 Lott Enfield right now. Having a custom reamer made for it. Sounds like I need to open a bullet making company. I've read all the theory. It's not difficult. Could I sell enough big bores to you guys to make a...

I love Model 70's! I have a 7mm-08 Featherweight, a 7mm Rem Mag Custom Sporter Super Grade (killed my biggest white tail with it), a .264 Win Mag Super Grade curly maple (one of my favorites!), and a .270 Win Super Grade curly maple which is beautiful but seems to be jinxed as I never see a...

Rebated rim....

I like Talley, but my 'smith advised me not to use the QD type so mine are all bolt on and I carry a screwdriver...

I've contacted JGS and requested the drawing. Will let you know what they send me.

Wow! That's one big hole! I'm going to machine my action for scope bases and have a set of Talley's for it. I'll try open sights first and we'll see how bad it is before I try a scope on it :) I did spend the money and got a nice New England Custom Gun rear sight for it (along with their...

So I talked with my Smith today and I am going to spend the money and have a custom reamer made. It will be basically a .450 Watts with the case part extended slightly and the throat made to be close to the .458 Win Mag extended 0.3" and a half inch of freebore beyond that. Totally custom .450...

So .357 the mountain lion and don't call the cops. The End.

I like the Bombay Saphire. But Gilby's will do in a pinch :)

After all this, I'll call my smith. I might just pay the $200 and get a custom reamer made. :)

I hunt with an M1A (Civilian form of M14) National Match model that is about 14 pounds loaded with a full mag. You get used to it. My .375 Roy is 13 pounds loaded. Just gotta Hulk Up a little :)

My .458 Lott enfield. It's the only other custom biggie I have

That's beautiful! I was thinking to try to get one just like it but in .500 NE, but you've definitely upped the game with this one! Eagerly waiting for your shooting reports. Some videos would be nice :)

I really like .375 Weatherby, and it's what I built my custom Enfield "Hannibal" on. Mine has a 30" barrel, and some guys have said it's too long. But I see lots of pictures on here of guys with suppressed rifles that are longer than mine. I get 2889 ft/s with 300gr bullets. I don't plan to...

Really excellent info here, Riflecrank! Thank you! I copied all of this and sent it to my 'smith.

Matt, that is smart. So maybe I'd take my .458 Lott Enfield to compliment my .375 Wby Enfield. Makes sense if something happens to the big boomer. You'd have the Super Boomer for backup. I was originally thinking if I took two, it'd be the .375 Roy and a .30-06 or .264 Winchester for...

Been looking at some surplus Hummers to customize :)

Bearkat, that's what I drive! Take my 2500 Cummins!

Poco, I was figuring on doing the same thing when I finally get to go. Take my .375 Weatherby that I built and use 300gr A-Frames on everything. One gun, one load. Keeps it simple :)

I have my claw extractors beveled on the front edge so they'll snap over. But you "can" squeeze the middle of the claw extractor that is not machined that way to snap over the case rim. But I figure I'd never remember to do that if a big beastie is charging me, so grind the front edges so they...

I have a giant pile of top soil. Has worked for 25 years :)

This is kind of crazy. I went into a Rolex dealer on Maui and he had tons of watches...but I didn't know you couldn't actually buy one. I have a Breitling Super Ocean that I like a lot. I simply ordered it from a registered and verified shop. No fuss, no muss. Wear it every day. I like the...

You're right. It would just save me trimming cases that I form from Hornady Basic Belted Magnum :)
