Hello from Everett!

RDBond · Jan 5, 2023

Good evening everyone! I stumbled across the Northwest Firearms site via a Google search for help with neck turning, and was so impressed with the knowledgeable and professional dialog I read that I created an account. I'm going to browse a bit and then will likely raise some questions. I think it's safe to say that I am pretty old-school. My latest firearm purchase, a retirement gift to myself, was an 1885 Winchester reproduction from Uberti special-ordered in 30-30. I have the crazy idea that I may be able to shoot it at my local range (with some accuracy) at 500 yards using a mid-range Creedmore tang sight. Maybe, maybe not, but I will have fun trying all the same.

Thanks,
RDBond

Welcome Mr. Bond,
Great to have another member from Everett on the board. Fellow 30/30 lover, but I don't shoot any of mine past 100 yds. Your idea sounds like a real fun blast off to retirement.

Welcome to the forum! For long range consider loading bullets with high BCs as singe shot only. Should be easier than trying to push a flat or round nose bullet farther than it wants to go. That how the contender folk do it.
