    New Addition: 1953 Remington 721 in 300 H&H

    I just brought another Remington 721 home less than an hour ago, haven't cleaned it yet.

    Nice condition 1953 in 300 H&H. Can wait to clean her up and take her to the range. RCBS Dies on the way...

    Just need to find some 300 H&H brass to reload, seems to be the hard part.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The Lyman Reloading Handbook 43rd Edition shows 300 H&H loads using a 250 gr jacketed soft point at around 2400 fps

    (never saw 308 dia 250 gr SP bullets ?)

    Interesting rifles, but clearly not in the same league as the Model 30 in terms of fit, finish and fixtures.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    The long-going M30 vs M721/700 debate! Model 30 is really only a sporterized Model of 1917. Rather than continue the long debate let's just say each has its attributes, and it's really user preference, and leave it at that.
