The brass I use for hunting loads is all once fired. After mentally going thru the steps I took loading and pulling a couple of bullets and looking and weighing the powder, I am pretty sure I know what happened. I was out to the range working on new loads 2 weeks ago and had narrowed it down to...

All I reload for the .300 is Weatherby brass. When I lived in California, I had a friend who worked for Roy Weatherby and he got me the brass, it was all primed, unfired. I actually went to school with Ed & Diane Weatherby. I am pretty sure I know what happened and I'll post a little later.

Yes it was.

Just disassembled the rifle. Got the bolt out and the barrel is actually loose, I can unscrew it 2 or 3 turns. The case (minus the head) is still in the chamber. I am wondering if I had a total case separation. With case separation, it doesn't take too much pressure to screw thing up. I can see...

I was working with RL 22 and 4350. I am going to pull the remaining bullets and weigh the powder in each one. The one that did the damage chronographed at 3060. That is really not too hot at all for a 300 Wby. My 180 gr loads are 3250.

When I am working on a new load, I always follow the same steps. I start out midrange from the tables in one of my reloading manuals. I load 3 rounds each progressing in 1/2 grain increments to max suggested load. When I start shooting, I start out with the lightest load and progress up to the...

In about 65 years of shooting, reloading and building guns of all types, I finally destroyed one! I have a custom .300 Wby that I blew up at the range this morning testing loads. The rifle is a commercial Mauser action, Shilen SS match barrel with a B & C stock. I had it built about 20 years...

I know that the animal is not wasted, but that is the first thing that comes to mind for me.

Africa...sorry JimP.

Have you ever driven on a road covered axle grease? Well that's what most Wyoming non paved roads get like when they get wet. It's hard to describe any better what you will experience. It actually will get a little better when they freeze and you have to use chains. Some are better than others...

117 Sierra boat tail is the bullet I've used for over 50 years.

More on Unit 90. I have hunted 90 (it's antelope unit 74) for antelope since 1980. I hunted it for 15 years before I really found any deer. I have only drawn a deer tag 3 times and killed bucks twice. Difficult unit for deer unless you know someone who knows it or you spend a ton of time looking...

I have hunted 90, some nice bucks. Not a lot of deer and you will need to really scout the unit to find them.

Didn't say who I took it out on! Being able to be a varsity team member, opened up lots of opportunities for payback in practices to a couple of guys who were real jerks!

I went to school so long ago that there were very few foreign students there. I did my Masters in the 80's and yes there was a ton of them then.

Shriners are a great organization, I know as I have been one for over 30 years! I donate monthly to Shriner's Children's Hospitals who do great work. I also remember when I started college, the classes I chose were the wrong ones for sure. I struggled my first year just staying eligible. Took...

I remember when I started visiting colleges ( it was in 1959). I had football scholarship offers from quite a few schools. Way different back then, Freshman had to play Freshman sports per NCAA rules. I picked my school and signed the paperwork and then had to go thru hell during the fall from...

Antalope only for me.

I load .38's for my Bulls Eye pistol. I use 148gr hollow base wad cutters. Once in awhile I'll seat one backwards. I just shoot it in practice.
