JJ, Melvin's rifles make all of my Redding Micrometer seating dies obsolete! Not a bad thing cause working up a load wasn't near as tough. I am thinking a guy still needs a good seating die though as concentricity is key too.

I wonder why they don't do stainless actions...

I always thought that a NULA in 250-3000 would be cool to own.

I could be wrong but i think Melvin only uses chrome moly because it is stronger then stainless on the actions.

Jericho,
If you imagined the NULA 250-3000 to be a great cartridge in a great rifle, you would be right. I've got one, and it is a sweetie.
Now go get one for yourself!!

My 3 babies. Top 50calMZ Middle M20 257BOB VX-II 3-9X40LR Bottom M24 30-06 FX-3 6X42LR Still have to decide on paint on the MZ. Will probably end up matching the other 2 with the CL-CAMO. That photo of Jim's 06 is what sold me on what pattern I was gonna use on mine.

Deal? LOL! A 22LR in addition to the other 3 is the plan... That 257bob will probably be the last rifle of mine that would ever get sold. About the perfect rifle for where I live and how and what I like to hunt... I will sell you a SVM or SBGM for the same amount!

Cal you shoot smokeless powder out of yours, HunterJim? JJ, No smokeless, it is a plunger action with a #11 cap nipple at the rear of the barrel. It seems to work well shooting, but cleaning is a pain. Melvin told me he made about 300 of these rifles before he got around to designing his M209 (which can shoot smokeless). He was hunting with the M90 when I bought my rifle from him. My rifle has a Lilja .500" barrel with a 32" twist and shoots conicals well. I mostly use bullets made for the length limited to twice the diameter rules of a couple of three Western states. jim
