6cm and the bullet unseating

Your better half may be trying to blow your face off. Clean the rifle well and then measure the headspace and the “distance to the lands” and the base to ogive length of the loaded ammo you are trying to use. If you don’t know how or have the tools to do that, go to a gunsmith and tell them the story. The fact that you didn’t pierce primers or have hard bolt open is good. The “hard to close” is the camming force of the bolt jamming the bullet into the rifling. That’s not normal in most cases. The fact that it’s happening with factory, ammo means that either something is not right or the gun was designed for hand loads that don’t meet standard dimensions.

.308 Winchester

Hey guys. I have an Sig Cross and waiting for a new comp profile 308 barrel from Straight Jacket Armory. I am building a steady hunting rifle. I say that because length plays into the equation but weight does not. So the barrel will be 18” long. I have a young son who shot that rifle last deer season in Federal 6.5 creed amd he did well with it. I was wondering, how slow can I safely shoot 308 ammo. I know he won’t shoot over 250 yards and would like to find something lower recoil for him. Looking at MV only, 2,300fps works all the way out to 400 yards.

A reduced load for H4895 or IMR 4895 under a Hornady 125 SST is your huckleberry for this. Shoot for a starting velocity of 2500-2600 fps, and a minimum impact velocity of 1900 fps at your maximum range.

They shoot soft and despite the reduced loads are often very accurate.

Zermatt Origin bolt/firing pin loose

In that specific situation, you need to remove one set screw and loosen the second one installed. Then, tighten the shroud on the pin completely and back it off three quarters to one full turn. Secure it in place with one set screw then reinstall the second with a small amount of blue Loctite.

If you run into any issues, email me directly and I'll get you what you need: [email protected]

Tariff effects on imported optics

We’re talking optics. Consumers aren’t going to tolerate a 30% price increase.

Because we didn't tolerate Vortex's MSRP and consequent street prices increases last year, or ZCO's increases, or 30% chassis price increases since 2021, Powder prices jumping 25%, etc.?

If everyone has to raise prices, there's nowhere else to take your business. You will tolerate it, because you'll have no choice.
