243 with PMC 100 grainers
« on: April 04, 2005, 02:36:34 PM »
Took the stainless 243 to the range today.(windy) As Usual. The PMC's shot a good honest 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards. It also shot the Rem. 100 grainers in about the exact same pattern and group size. BUT!!! The PMC"s stuck in the chamber. Like about every other one. Sometimes I would just hold it open and after 45 seconds or so they would pop out on their own. I had a dowel stick with me and just the weight of the dowel would knock them out. Quess I need to polish the chamber some more and maybe the ejector rod its self. I have never taken out the ejector before.

On another note, the waiting begins as I mailed off my 45-70 for a 357 barrel today. I still have the BC to burn 45-70 ammo while the other one is gone. Wish I would have had the extra bucks to have them fit my 30-30 barrel while they had it. But with the price of gas, times are getting tough on us fixed income folks.

That's what credit cards are for :twisted:

Yeah, I know the feeling. I use credit cards for gun stuff more than anything else.

Me Too! This gas price it going to kill me though. Everything out here is a 100 miles. Doctor appointment and gun shops and most everything. You have to go to Fargo or Bismark. One it 100 miles east and one is 100 miles west. Or I can go to Aberdeen, thats a 100 miles south. 100 miles north? Ain't nothin up there. :lol:

You will enjoy the 357 barrel. It as a lot of fun to shoot. The only thing I don't like about is the H110 powder I am using is so dirty.

James B., That description of where you live (Jamestown, ND?, was it named after you?), I like it!!! But I agree, todays gas prices coupled with the lousy mileage pickups get would make it expensive....
I like the sound of that area 100 miles north of you though....<><.... :grin:

MSP. I think they named it after me. Well Maybe not. :lol:  I still drive an old Jeep Wagoneer. Thats becoming a little painful. I have a S-10 that does pretty well on Gas though.

 Fred M The people where you live are really fine folks. I have made 25 trips up North hunting and fishing. We go up to Flin Flon and then west into Sask. I first went in 1978 and have ben up there once or twice a year every since. Good Black Bear and moose hunting and awful good fishing.

I have so much stuff for the 357/38 special that I just had to get a rifle for it too.

Devils Lake is one thing north of me that pretty darn good fishing as well. Its about 80 miles.

Hey what about Valley City? I moved there in the 70's, from rural NY.
It was the first time I lived in a town with stop lights. Shot some nice deer
in the shelter belts around Lake Ashtabula. Everybody out there just assumed I was from NYC. Anyway, 100 gr coreloks shoot best in my .243
I have had good success with an oversize (30-06) bore brush, on a short
muzzleloader starter tool, and really going to town on the chamber...
No stuck casings. Did the same with a .50 on my .308

I do a lot of fishing over there above the dam. I ate supper in Valley the other night on the way home from Fargo. Valley is a real nice town. Jamestown is fine too its just so cold for so long. I was raised abut 300 miles south near the Black Hills. Its much warmer there on average. I still have a small farm down there. Mule deer heaven. Fishing is good here in Jamestown as well with the two reservoirs on the edge of town. Lots of Whitetail here and a growing number of Moose.
