It's my understanding that Remington has been aware of the safety issue for many years but refused to issue a recall because of the necessary expense. At the time they finally agreed that the "fix" should be applied, the cost was only about 50 cents (so I read ). But they refused to do the...
Sportsman11: I've owned a model 70 in 270cal since the late 90's and I also own a Browning in 25-06. I favor the Model 70. It's never failed except once due to neglect. I got caught in a rain/snow storm hunting in the Va. mountains. The problem occurred because I failed to remove all the...
One other thing I discovered today at Gander Mtn about the 260...........the price tag for 20 loaded shells is about $39! I would assume you 260 folks "roll" your own shells
at least I would. But I will admit....the cartridge is pretty impressive.
Hey micky: I was going through a mixed bag of brass I found at a range yesterday and was sorting out the 308 shells. I came across what appeared to be a 308 but was surprised to see "260" on it's base. I remembered you telling me the 260 was derived from the 308 case. What struck me was how...
Gator45/70: Is your handle derived from the type weapon you prefer? I've always wanted to own one of those, maybe in a replica Sharps. I don't think you could still eat a deer if you shot it in the front shoulder!#@. If you happen to find
some of those 7mm-08 cases, drop me a line at...
mickey: Guess that explains the reason for 308 cases being "not as available" as they used to be. I have 3 or 4 hundred Mil 308 brass cases but as you already know, they can't be loaded quite the same as Civilian cases. Happy shooting Bud.
micky: How does your 260 compare with the 7mm-08? I've never shot one but it sounds like the 260 is based on the 30-06 case, such as the 270 was. If it is I can see why many
shooters like it. I've been shooting my 30-06 ( I have 3 ) and loading for it for 30 years as well as my 25-06 . If that...
Mr. Swamprat2: I'm not real sure where Denham Springs is located.....but it doesn't sound very close to Jacksonville Florida. Thanks for your reply though.
Hey Mickey: I checked out the Cabelas site but it really is crazy to see the prices for "un-loaded" brass nearly as high as loaded ammo. I can't prove it but I feel our Govt.
has something to do with the sudden shortage of reloading components. If they can't take our guns...the next best option...
I'm having trouble finding 7mm-08 brass..........anyone know of an internet site that has this type brass? I'm aware that I can resize 308 ammo to 7mm-08 but I really would like to find the correct cases. (since I have 308 rifles and 7mm-08 rifles)
Hello fellow shooters! I go by the handle "drack" and I enjoy reloading and shooting paper and warm blooded animals, mostly Deer. I'm a retired MSG (Army) and also retired from the Naval Aviation Depot located in Jacksonville Fla. I worked as an Advanced Composite Repair person specializing in...
