Muzzle brake for Weatherby MkV in 270 WBY

Im looking for a muzzle brake for my Weatherby MkV in 270WBY. I found the muzzle thread is different size than regular muzzle break threads so cant just fit a generic brake. Any ideas who is the best company to order a genuine Weatherby brake? Or who might have muzzle brakes with Weatherby thread?

Bugger, not good to hear. But with cost of living the way it is now, it is understandable you want to reduce costs.

Thoughts on Winchester Highwall or varmint hunting.

Ive always wanted a single shot falling block single action, earlier on wanting a Ruger Number 1 but lately favoring a Winchester Highwall. Ive also been wanting another 220 swift and thought a Highwall in 220 swift would be great on rabbits. What are peoples thoughts on using a Highwall for varmint...

Might screw the 22x47L barrel on for some giggles
That should work well with 40gn pills run flat out

Re: Do I keep it ?

Well sorry I will have to say no 220 Swift for a couple of reasons.Firstly The swift case will not reliably feed with the 22/250 follower.In the L579 for example the Swift used a different follower to the 22/250 as well as the 243/308. Not sure whether the Swift was available in the M591 so getting...

Re: JB Bore Paste or Bore Brite

One issue Ive heard with Borebright is that it can make the bore too smooth and shiny, which ends up collecting more copper than usual.

Re: 221 fireball custom build

Keene that looks lovely. I used to have a 221 Fireball, also using L461 action but was using Remington brass. I can’t remember the exact loads but the loads I did settle on were 35gn Vmax and 2205 for a slightly quieter load on a smaller property and then I did a lot of plinking with 2207 and 40gn T...

Re: Kahles

Well there is a bit of a story to tell. Hours or maybe minutes after I received the Kahles I was out in the paddock sighting in at 100m. I thought wow check the clarity out 20 cal bullet holes were easily visible in the early evening light. Happy would have been an understatement :D :D 8) Checked o...

Re: Flash Hole sizes ADI vs OSA .223
