…a few decades back. My rifle’s twist was a bit too fast for the new “SX” bullets and now and then one would “disappear” between the Chrony and my target. Another shooter asked how long it took my barrel to cool off, I figured it would only take a few days.
Did Gebby use 4064 in his 22 Varminter?

…Whitetails with 6mm rifles -- my first two deer of my youth with a 6mm remington, then the last one with a 243 late in life, to try out a post 63 M70 I'd acquired to display for comparison. The sum of that experience, for.me, has been the sixes are enough in careful hands for our typical Central

Your correct, uncut in that condition, with no high starting point would be 1500-1800 tops for me. This is a 45-70 I got on GunBroker a couple years ago for 2K and shipping
Without 26% internet premium either! The .45-70 aspect is a bonus on that rifle

You guys are better than a library! If a cast of this Model 70's barrel chamber matches Gebby's and Remington's design -- and I now think the odds are good that it will -- I'll be able to avoid the

I still have to get a chamber cast, of course, but since the re-barreling of this Model 70 most likely occurred no earlier than 1952 (per the style of the post-1951, oval tang Super Grade stock fitted to its 1947 cloverleaf tang action),

Bob,
Are we talking about the same 86 carbine with case condition? I cannot see 80% case on the 50ex. The seller also sold a 86 carbine in 45-70 with more color. From what I have read, sunlight would fade case color in short order. Your thoughts.
