Nice shooting! Once you start reloading for it your flyers will either be reduced in distance or disappear altogether, as long as you do your part. They are excellent rifles and shoot great even...

Did the cases have military primers with the ring around them? If so you'll need to do them with a military primer swaging tool.
The best way I've found to do the primer pocket is, I bought an RCBS case prep machine. It became a necessity after a severe wrist injury. I would do about 8 cases and my hand would lock up for the...

The rifle is priced at around $800us. I would go look at it. If it seems just average you can remove the sight and sling swivel set and sell them as a complete package. You'll recoup the selling...
It appears to be an average looking Winchester Pattern 14 with a Parker-Hale rear sight added to it and a matching bolt. That looks to be the PH-5B rear sight. It has the target sling swivel front...
