Tommy Gun-
Dittoes to the above posts, I would add that I wouldn't trust that the stuff is even Power Pistol, i.e. lose the powder also. I would pull everything and trash the powder, though this...
Deano,
Tough question, I guess it would depend on what else you want to do with the rifle, and how deep your pockets are. IIRC, my Dad took his bison with his .375 H&H, but he already had that...
Nebraska-
A shorter leade can be a blessing, unless you like really heavy bullets. As a rule of thumb, I get my best accuracy from bullets seated a few thousandths off the lands, which can be...
Bama- I use the Tipton carbon fiber rods; I have two, both are rifle rods (36"). My only complaint with them is that they tend to flex a bit more than I'm used to. Of course that may be that I'm...
I agree w/ k-g, if you'e getting a lot of lead, you have other issues. I use a "Lead Removal Cloth", (I forget the actual manufacturer), cut into patches and a tight jag. If it's really bad you may...
Deano-
If I had to cull the collection down to six, I'd probably go with these:
1) .375 H&H-Win Mod 70 stainless- it's big enough for up here in Alaska, big enough for Africa if I ever make it...
Ditto to versifier's post, except I would add excessive "dust"; as in a big cloud of it when you pour the powder into your measure. The oldest stuff I had around was somewhat over 30, I finally used...
I'm with versifier on these; not the prettiest gun in the safe, but mine sure shoots like it is. If you are trying to stay original, the receiver may have been case hardened, mine is a .222/20 ga...
MT-
Sounds like you had a good time; I haven't gotten out yet this season, hopefully this weekend. We have plenty of ice up here, not enough to need the extension on the auger yet, but getting...
Eddf-
Check all of your action screws, make sure they are good & tight. Also check your scope mounts/ sights and ensure they aren't loose. If you still have the problem, it could be:
a) your...

I answered this, in your intro thread, but I'll put it here also. I used to own a Ruger M77 in .25-06, I traded it off when I moved up here to AK as it's a little light for most things up...
Robert-
My old Ruger in .25-06, (M77 tang safety) was fond of near max loads of IMR 4350. My deer load was a Nosler 120 gr Partition, 48.5 gr IMR 4350, CCI 200 and Win brass. I had it seated out...
Matthew-
I'm glad to hear that the CZ's are nice; I have been looking at them for awhile now. As far as advice goes, well if it's shooting that well, don't change anything and permanently engrave...
Hey gang-
Greeting from the Great Land, while you guys are sweltering down in the lower 48, we are currently experiencing some rather abnormal weather of our own. This summer the Anchorage bowl...
kodiak-
Sorry to have been remiss and not posting that much, but it is summer in Alaska, which means damn near 24 hrs of daylight & lots of salmon. Sadly, I have to work to support my shooting,...
Hey gang-
This is my first post over on this side, I spend most of my time on the CB forum. Anyway I saw this topic and had to do a little sharing; sadly no pictures though. Last weekend I...
