FYI, from the ATF website: Is a person who reloads ammunition required to be licensed as a manufacturer? Yes, if the person engages in the business of selling or distributing reloads for the purpose of livelihood and profit. No, if the person reloads only for personal use. [18 U.S.C. 922(a) and 923(a); 27 CFR 478.41]

Thank you for helping Leon out. It's a great thing you are doing for him.

Great episode Ron! Your wonderful wife is certainly one heck of an advocate. Congratulations to the both of you as the recognition is well deserved from the Gundies. I truly appreciate you responding to my comment and I may just give that improved cylinder a try in the old 20 gauge. It serves the household as a dove gun as well and I tend to like that modified choke for those shots. Next season perhaps I will stop being lazy and screw in a different choke for quail! All the best, Chase Ferguson from SC.

Hey Ron thanks for the response! I just had my buddies come over last weekend. We worked up loads together. Then I sent them a “grocery list” of components to pick up so they can come help me replicate the loads that did the best in their rifles!

Hey Ron, love your podcasts. I just wanted to send some love to my favorite 7mm. The 7mm Weatherby magnum. I've been hunting with the 7mm Weatherby mag here in New York for whitetails, and muledeer and antelope in Wyoming for over 40yrs! I never understood why the 7mm Weatherby mag isn't more popular than it is. It beats out the 7mm rem mag by 100 to 300 fps with all bullet weights and holds its own with the larger 7mm mega magnums and does it with less powder! Even Weatherby tends to ignore it by only chambering it in a select few models. The 7mm Weatherby mag performs better than the new 7BC and is easily reloadable. Us peasants here in New York state aren't allowed to have suppressors or what I call "Midas mufflers" on our barrels so I have no problem carrying a 26" barreled rifle for my long range needs. I have always felt that the 7mm Weatherby mag was the most efficient 7mag out there and have convinced several of my friends to purchase new 7mm Weatherby mags for long range shooting.

Ron, love your videos and all your knowledge. Keep them coming. Long live the 35 REM. Here Florida it’s my to go gun. I have hunted with one for years. Have taken deer and hogs with it. My biggest Florida buck was a nice 8 point a 185 on the hoof. Shot a lot of big hogs with too. The 35 would roll them aright in there tracks. I did build a AR style 350 legend that incident . Have to say easier to reload with the straight shoulder. But yet not convinced on switching over all the way not too much of a fan of hunting with an AR type gun. Loved my old Remington 760 and I am a little old school. I look Howard in watching all your videos it keeps me going.
@ThatGuy-kf7fo
To the gentlemen using the 270 and Federal Fusion bullets and getting no blood trails: I experienced the same with Fusions in 308. They shot great in my rifle but I switched to Barnes TTSX bullets and have much better results.
@ratdaddy7774
Had a friend had a Shultz and Larsen in 7x61,he gave me a cartridge for my collection
@michaelwilson9986
Well Done
@egouldE5
Reloader here, if your loading for a friend just make sure you load to SAMi minimum specifications unless your testing the gun your self…. My two cents….
@MehulKamdar
Great podcast, Mr Spomer! The 7x61 S&H Super is still popular across Scandinavia and it ranks together with the 308 and 358 Norma as a popular local alternative to our chamberings with hunters in those countries even now. I doubt that I'll ever have the money to do this, but my ideal custom rifle battery would be one each in 7x61 Sharpe and Hart Super, 308 Norma, 358 Norma and the wildcat 8x57 Kvale from the designer of the original Norma belted magnums. As I recall from long ago, Norma also designed other rounds based on necking the 7x61 case but they died even in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. I wonder if you had any experience with those? Good hunting, sir!
@boothsar78
I have a Shultz & Larsen M60, great rifle. Found some Norma 160gn rounds from 1972.
@smitty6518
My dad used a savage 30/30 bolt action, and it was handed down to my oldest son.
@PerIvarMoviken
I still use the 7x61 145grs Barnes Lrx 3100 fps 24inch barrel. Great load.
@sindeecharlton8857
Ron I served in the Air Force 1972 - 1982 10 years.
@clintonlayne9253
Ron in regards to shooting the beast 12 gauge. That's what I started to hunt with back in 1972 at the tender age of 12. I bought my first Shotgun in 1976 a Winchester 1200 in 12 gauge 2 3/4 in chamber. My Father said I didn't need a 3 inch chamber .I later found out that his Shotgun had a 3" chamber Can't out do Dad ! lol😊. This past year marked 52 years of hunting for me. I mostly used a 20 gauge and once in a while a 16 gauge which I have high regards for. I didn't fire my old Winchester model 1200 . I wish I should have maybe in 2025.
@jasonjohnson6255
Savage does still make a bolt action shotgun in both 20 and 12 gauge models and has models with smooth bore barrels with turkey extra full chokes and rifled slug barrels. They are based on the 110 action, come with accutriggers, and multiple stock options. I personally own the 20 gauge turkey model and it is fantastic. The long barrel, tight choke, solid trigger has inceased my reliable turkey range by no less than 10 yards. I have not owned a rifled barreled slug model, but do not know any reason why it would not preform equally well. I greatly appreciate your experience, insight, and content, it is wonderful hear solid information from a fellow hunter instead of some chucklehead prattling on about AR's versus AK's or which handgun I should be carrying.
@stevendonnalammar4422
Good evening Ron. I also have a Savage model 170 rifle in 30-30, it is a nice handling little rifle but occasionally has feeding issues. I also have a couple of Remington pumps in 30-06, 35 Remington, 300 Savage, and 243 Winchester. The Savage is definitely a more complex design and with a rear locking breech bolt I would say is also a slighty weaker design but is still a lot of fun to go out hunting with.
@larryzink4708
I think what your wife means is be very careful using reloads that you don’t know the origin of like something bought at a gun show. I know of a person that blew up a beautiful 1886 Winchester because he used some of the previous owners reloads . They had been loaded with both black and smokeless powder that had been mixed together!
