I am a big fan of the FN Browning High Power rifles and BAR’s. I wish I could post pictures but I don’t even know a site host for them.

Nice, post a few Target pics... I love the old .222, I have one in a Ruger M77 Mark II Stainless Carpenter's Technology special run... it's a good shooter.

I'm a bit away from target pics. Need dies and brass as well as some IMR4198.

I use Lee collets and Forster BR seaters for my rifles.

What is a Stainless Carpenter's Technology special run?

I’ve had some really great luck with IMR4198 and 40gr NBT bullets in two. And another likes the same powder and 50gr SPSX

My Browning’s and an M70 375 H&H current production which I just traded for a 300 H&H Browning early 60’s in really nice shape. Can’t wait to get it and shoot it. From left to right:
30-06 grade 2, 243 grade 1, 222 mag, 222, 222, 22-250, 22-250, 243, 30-06, 30-06, 375

I have some of those 40gr NBTs. Will start with those.

Indeed!

Thanks,

They all shoot great too. The 222 mag was finicky at first as the mag is short so tipped bullets were out of the question.

I have been looking for a 300 H&H for years but everybody has wanted top US prices here so I've had to pass. Finally got a fair deal on one and just can't wait to shoot it and load for it.

Carpenter's Tech provide barrel steel to Ruger for many years. Ruger did a special run of 2440 Stainless/Walnut Mark II rifles in .222 Rem for Carpenter employees.... I have had four of them over the years, only one left now.

Brass is a pain on those 300s. I have two of them. Have resized 375 to 30cal. Worked fine.

Sounds cool .... You should start a thread on some of those Rugers.
