No worries, I had a bad day and it hit me wrong. I just used a cheap set of calipers in farm shop, I think ill remeasure port at the reloading bench. If you like everything about that rifle, you could always have an endmill cut in ejection port like some stillers have. Not ideal, but it...

FYI, measured my solus ejection port and it is 2.960. I've got some 147eldm 6.5prc ammo, so I can measure oal on it. Accurate 300wsm binderless mags are 2.980 max oal. I guess if Hornady ammo is over 2.960, and under 2.980(to be mag fed), it could fail to clear port when unloading a loaded...

Granular. Rosin is better, but sugar can work in a pinch(pun intended)

Nothing wrong with your set up, did similar, rosin or sugar makes a huge difference.

A viper barrel vise is handy and 75ish bucks, I use one for upto 100lbs. I've got a wheeler too, it's slower to use but can handle more abuse. Put rosin or sugar in vise jaws for more grip on barrel.

I've used 50lb on badger 2013 and impact action, on short action calibers. What barrel vise are you using now, and why does it limit to 60lbs?

I can only imagine how big of a twat cyr-anus was with aero, I bet they were tripping over themselves to help a raging ass

I tell you what, how about you take your snark and your problems and shove them up your ass, fuckin rookie. You asked for help, I posed a valid question. Instead of answering my question, you smart off, up your troll game shitbird.

How long is ejection port? I was thinking they said it was 3", sized for ejecting short mags. 6.5prc mags(accurate 300wsm) will only take a 2.980" oal rd. I don't have my Solus in hand to measure port size, but if it will fit in a wsm mag, it should clear a 3" port.

Depending on action(trued or not), I say 650 for barreled action or 750 if trued. 200 for trigger. 300 for krg bravo, but not sure what forend is worth.

An ave gunsmith would be more than capable of this also, it's not a job that requires Terry cross or Dave tooley. While they're making 2 for you, might as well have some extras made JIC.

Take the rail and possibly action to a machine shop, ask before you stroll in with it if it's OK. They can use pin gages to determine precise diameter and use depth mic to determine length. I'd probably have them make the length .010 shorter so it doesn't bottom out in the rail/action holes.

Not sure on the howa mag tension adjustment, but on a 700 bravo chassis there is a small button head screw that is in between the trigger inlet and mag inlet. That can be loosened and let's triggerguard/mag latch move fwd and tighten up mag well. Alternatively, the whole forend plastic can be...

My ai is in an ai chassis, lol

I guess if nothing else shoots good in the heavy weights except 95smk in a given barrel, it would be viable in sub 2950 range. Do you know what the g7 is of the 95smk? All I'm seeing is the banded bc

You can stabilize a 95smk in 7.7tw and lower speeds? I'm at a lofty 375' asl, so I'm not well experienced with what higher altitude gains you, other than academics of it.

Wind hold being the same, I guess you could say it's a wash. But if I'm running a creedmoor case, why do I run it at 224 Valk speed? Why not just run a 224 valk?

Using just the best bc of Sierra's banded bc range(which I'm not going into that) at 3000fps at 1000 in a 10mph fv wind it's 7mile drop and 1.7mil drift. My load of 90gr vld at 3230(which shot better than 95smk and never lost a bullet) is 6.2mil drop and 1.7mil drift. The 95smk might need to...

All I'm saying is that the 95smk, according to Sierra, was designed around 223 and 224valk speeds. That's 2500-2900(maybe optimistic), you start hammering on them in a creedmoor at 3000+ and it's a crapshoot on whether they stay together. And if they work today, there's no guarantee they'll...

I wish you luck, maybe with fresh barrel and 5r type rifling, they will hang together for a little bit. I found the 90hr berger to be more accurate and easier to load. The bc difference, at same speed, wasn't worth the hassle and blow ups. Factor in throttling back the 95smk and the bc wasn't...
