    35/30 win, who has one?

    i have a winchester m94(made in 1972) in 35/30. it used to be 30-30 but JES Reboring took care of that. i have a 200gr rcbs fn gc and 12ish lbs of 2400 and 3ish lbs of rel7 that i can shoot. i think that the 2400(with/without dacron) will be best at the velocity i choose(1700fps). i can take it...

    1922 oviedo mauser

    recently got a 1893 spanish mauser(1922) in 7x57. the stock is an unfinished(80-85% complete), barrel is cut to 21" and the bore is a mess. unmatching serial #, there is no rear or front sight. about all i can say good is the trigger works. my gunsmith will determine if it is safe or not. if...

    It's never the rifle, it's always the shooter. Every rifle I've ever owned outshot me.

    i don't know the gunsmith. but the amount of bullets i have shot could sink a battleship;). in my early days, i have shot bullets that go around 3-4" at 100 yards.now i progressed to shoot a .157" at 100 yards(5 shots/bench/20 vartarg). thats 35+/- years of shooting. the best loads for...
