I like the GG as well, but the Savage looks pretty cool too! Nice work Hunt_AK.

My friend Ed Turner, works for a company that cleans up spills, he supervises these clean up projects for them. Well they had one on the west coast about a week and a half or so back and the two guys that were out there messed up the job according to California law and were sent home (fired). Ed was sent by the company to salvage the project and took their place. Now you might ask what significance or why are you telling us this? Well, I was...

I still shake my head at that range. Much as I love the cartridge, it shows my own ignorance I think. While I wouldn't hesitate on the shot with one of my 358's I just wouldn't have thought to try it with any of the loads I have tried in any 35 Rem I've owned. And that tells you my mind simply hasn't wrapped itself around the improved performance offered by the Hornady ammo. Obviously I have some rethinking to do,...

Plus one on that... But... All the pics of TSX's and E-Tips recovered from game that I have seen look just like the adds and ones shot through gelatin and jugs and phone books. All this talk about bullet performce is great stuff. I love it. For most...

Very versatile cartridge... I also understand that Hodgdon has released some loading data suggesting that you can also use H4895 at 65% reduction from top loads in cartridges that are being loaded safetly with that powder... Do you have a chronograph to shoot those loads over, it would be interesting to know what your velocities are, although if you know the B.C. of that bullet and it's tradjectory.., the velocity should be simple to fine...

Para I just finished. Painted the frame, beavertail safety, and grip screws. I think its a good blend of contrast...

BrownBear, could you expand a little on the work you did to your Ruger # 1. I have one in 25-06 and have read some articals about accurizing these but haven't as yet done anything except load development.

That's a nice looking hand rifle.

The .375 Winchester is based on a high pressure version of the .38-55 case, with thicker case walls and a stronger head. Although its case is .065" shorter than the old .38-55 case, .375 Winchester brass can be used for .38-55 reloads if necessary. The reverse is not true, however. Smitty of the North

A+ on the coolness factor, .358 Norma mag is IMO a great rifle for hunting in Alaska. If you don't reload, factory ammo is easy enough to find on-line.
