| #5 Ruger #1
Well, I've purchased another #1 which will be #5 for me, a NIB 9.3x74R. I won't see it for a couple of weeks but I'll have the dies and components to put some rounds together for it in the meantime. The way I see it, that leaves me only three more to buy to feel satisfied. 
Anyone else have one and found a good, accurate load I might want to try?

There is no "satisfaction" when it comes to No. 1s. I'm DOWN to 36, and once thought I'd be happy with eight too    | |

Ruger number 1s are incredible firearms. I have 3 and have had 3 more.

You sure can become addicted to them, that's for sure. It's hard for me to believe that many years ago I didn't care too much for the looks of the #1s, but twelve years ago all of that changed. That's when I came across the first RSI I ever had a chance to handle. Always having been a sucker for Mannlicher style stocks, I felt wow, this isn't bad, pretty nice actually, so I bought it. A .30-06 RSI that I still have today.
