Re: Thoughts on Downloading 7mm Rem Mag
My only thought on the matter is why carry around the extra weight of a 7mm Mag rifle, when a lighter rifle will do? A sporterized 93 Mauser might be in your future :idea: (Oh, for the days when you could buy them mail order, delivered to your door, for about 20 bucks apiece :mrgreen: ) I appreciat...

Thoughts on Downloading 7mm Rem Mag
I took me a couple of decades to figure out, but I've come to the idea of downloading my 7mmRM to 7 Mauser levels. I mostly pistol hunt these days, but when I do use a rifle, it's nothing that a 7 Mauser won't finalize. When I shoot my 4" 629, its loaded with a 44 Special load, unless I'm tunin...

The idea of the FMJ was to limit suffering. The men in top hats and claw-hammer-tailed coats that came up with this knew that most armies were made up of conscripts & peasants, and not professional soldiers. So the plan was to put them out of action but maybe with a more survivable wound. Also r...
