Yep the 372 is the only inboard clutch saw I have.The HackedUp 365 Special in my basement will satisfy any inboard clutch fan. #allorangeftw
Weird. That pic Don't affect the running of my Stihls at all.
I don't believe the Big Bore line was ever chambered in 444. Big Bore line characteristics being the fattened up receiver and "Big Bore" being included in the barrel stamping. I'm not 100% sure though.I remember they made the 94 in .444 during the last years of New Haven production, however that one was not a Big Bore. Did they have a .444 in the Big Bore line at some point?
Thanks Dahmer, I didn't see your post before my last comment. That's probably the exact thread I was referring to . Good bunch of guys over there
Yessir! Actually, in my pursuit of more accuracy handloading for my 375, I have found that it's liking longer COL getting the bullet ogive closer to the lands. I may very well end up using "short" 38-55 brass as I push COL out longer in order to maintain proper bullet retention/seating depth. I've read on Buffalo Bores web page an in depth explanation that their 38-55 Heavy Loads perform on par with the shorter 375 and do it with less pressure due to the increased case capacity. And not only that, they state that their 38-55 Heavies can safely be fired in ANY 375 Win chambered rifle. Loading new "short" 38-55 brass which is still a bit longer than 375 brass should easily get me where I want to be.I would really like to have a .38-55 and/or .375 someday. Many people, including Buffalo Bore, report that .38-55 brass actually works better in the .375. If I stumble across a .30-30 with a trashed bore for cheap I'll send it off to JES to become a .38-55.
I like certain saws from all brands as wellI'll let you know when I get this one fired up.

Stihl's are affordable again with low demand from team Stihl buying Husqvarna saws.
Have a little bit of everything to be on a team I guess. Husqvarna, Stihl, McCulloch, Homelite, Poulan and Shindaiwa. Guess I will have to go lone wolf.
No need to start another thread. Ole Chevy can't take no more harassment about his 395 lol.Yessir!

Anyway, we better start another thread, lol!

IMR 4350 might be a dandy substitute for ya.Currently use H4350 in the .257, makes super tight groups with 117 grain Sierras. This powder is the gold standard for the 6.5 Creedmoor and some others, meaning it is often out of stock. If I can come up with loads using 4064 that come close to what I get with 4350 I'll be happy to switch.
I would buy a echo if I needed a tophandleSpeaking of which, I have a strange desire for a Stihl MS192/193. Not gonna buy one new, but a good deal on a used one or fixer upper would be tempting.
I like you am anal about each charge and weighed each one, however, the N160 and N165 were the best powders I ever threw a charge handle on. If your were consistent on the throw that powder charge was a clone of the one before.I believe H 4350 is a bit slower than IMR 4350, but IMR 4064 is a faster burning powder. A lot of folks don't like these powders because they don't meter real well, I weigh every charge.
Try cleaning up the piston windows. Not a lot of material just the casting flash.So, I ripped the 046 D jug saw I brought back to like today to do a little more port work to it. The 460 I built with that HL Supply jug and a Meteor piston runs stronger! I'm going to try to reduce the disparity.
