IIRC cases based off the RUM brass. Kirby Allen is the smith, over at longrangehunting.com if I have it all right... I will be corrected if I"m wrong.

That's me with my old match rifle - a .308 on a Model 70 action with a 30" Krieger. Good rifle, built by Jim Cloward.
My latest LR rifle - a nice .300 WSM Model 70 Coyote I picked up used last year. It's a good one! Hoping to use it for mule deer this year. Loads are looking good.
Old Faithful, dubbed "The Green Machine" I've been shooting this .308 for about 12 years now, and have worn out several barrels in that time. Likely my favorite all-around rifle. I've used it for varmint & coyote hunting as well as mule deer other game. Have also shot many matches with it, sometimes doing pretty well, other times failing to measure up to what the rifle can do.
Regards, Guy

Jim Cloward is a very special gentleman who has made an indelible mark on long-range shooting. He richly deserves the respect oft accorded him.
