I feel for you Rich. I resolved the safe problem by building a safe room. I thought that would take care of storage, while still being able to readily see the contents. Not sure how it happened but the safe room is now "cramped". Cheers, Jack

And then there is the issue of wall space, for the wonderful trophies and such! That too, runs scarce!

What wall space???:eek:

A Mexican Mauser in 250/3000 came my way. I'll post a pic later

Here we go;

Nice Todd and a great although underrated caliber. I have a Pre64 M70 in 250-3000 that's going west with me this fall provided I draw the tags.

My smith is working on a 275 Rigby using a Borno VZ24 Mauser action.

Shoot the only rifle I got last year was a 700ADL we rebarreled to 26 Nosler :crying:

But on the other hand "it was" what I wanted :rotf:

Almost forgot picked up a little Remington Model 7 stainless synthetic in 260 REM to replace one I had foolishly sold a year or two ago !

About the only rifle I'm really looking for is a Mannlicher Schoenauer MCA Carbine in 270 , 308 or 06 . And maybe a Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special in Triple Deuce !

I have a hunt lined up, if all goes well. (Idaho mule deer) Still need to work up a load, but it's looking like a 100gr. Nozler Partition, at somewhere like 2900 fps. The alternative would be the 100 gr. Ballistic Tip.

About three years ago I picked up a rather nice Ranger Arms left handed bolt rifle in 25-06 . I purchased it for my wife mainly because I got it about 1/3 of what I deemed it worth . Anyway while damage control hunting that year I used it with the Nosler 100 grain Ballistic Tip in a handload and knocked the fire out of a large whitetail doe . I don't see any reason the bullet wouldn't work on a Mulie provided you put it through the ribs and both lungs !

I wouldn't have mentioned this other then the fact that I like the Nosler 25 cal 115 grain BT a bit more especially in the 25-06 . But a friend thats a died in the wool 25-06 man swears by the 100 BT in his rifles so I thought during Damage Control Hunting I'd give it a try and while I'm not gonna switch everything from 115 to 100 if push comes to shove and I'm out of 115's I think I can make do with the 100's !

Todd do you know what the twist rate is on your rifle? The older ones like mine are 1:14 to stabilize the 85gr bullets to get the advertised 3000fps. A 1:8 or 1:10 is better suited when using the 100-115gr bullets esp the longer ones like the NBT or Barnes TTSX. I have some old Sierra 100gr soft points that are very short and will try them also I found some old Nosler Partitions 100gr that I have managed to work up loads for that will deliver one inch groups @ 100yds.

I have been a fan of the NBT since they came out esp in 25cal. My 257 WBY and a 115gr NBT is my go to rifle for Antelope. I have been playing with the Accubonds in 110gr and shot a whitetail using that bullet in a 257 Roberts and performance was exceptional and meat damage was minimal when compared to the NBT. I'm going to try them in the 25/06 and the 257 WBY. 140 rgain Accubonds will be the first bullet I try in the new 275 Rigby.
