The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

A
20+ years ago I bought a used Ruger VT M77 in 223 that had a 6-18x Burris scope. Wasn't reloading for that caliber yet so bought some white box Winchester 223 with a 40 grain bullet. Sighting it at the range with my oldest son and was impressed by how well it was shooting. Son had setup some 20 oz bottles at 100 yards. Told him I was going to shoot the lid off a bottle. Shot, the lid was gone and the bottle was laying with the opening facing me. Told him I was going to put a bullet through the opening and out the bottom. Shot and the bottle moved. We went down range and sure enough there was an exit hole in the bottom of the bottle.

With help from my 3 sons, we have put about 5k rounds through that gun, primarily shooting P-dog. Barrel is about shot out now and needs replaced so winning a new barrel would be terrific.

Savage scope rail with 700 footprint.

Weatherby always made solid stuff but these specs indicate company is out of touch with reality.

Respectfully have to disagree with this. Its a 6 lbs 5oz hunter rig thats running a vertical grip carbon fiber stock using AICS mags, a TriggerTech trigger, and has a threaded barrel that is 2" shorter than standard offerings (which is clearly the trend in rifles right now due to suppressors becoming popular with hunters). I'd say they are listening to the market as closely as possible while still making a 6lb gun.

So what if it uses savage bases? While not r700 prolific, its not like they are rare.

Edit to get the weights right, the Weatherby is 6.3 lbs, not 6lbs 3 oz. So more like 6 lbs 5oz.

Micron Precision Bushing Sizer Not Compatible With Zero Press?

First I size the case body using a Cortina 300NM Expanding Mandrel Die...resizes the case body to a greater extent than does an L. E. Wilson die or a Micron die... and prevents clickers.
Next I use a Micron resizing die with bushing insert to size the neck...in an Area 419 Zero press...securing the Micron die with an Area 419 die ring (instead of the Micron double locking rings)...and using a typical Redding shell holder insert (rather than the Area 419 modular shell holder system components).

Thanks for the info. I haven't had a chance to study the Cortina die yet, but I figured it was doing something similar to the M-series Area419 (using a fixed neck sizing portion to size the neck under mandrel size at the top of the stroke, and then expand it with the mandrel on the way back down. Is this not correct? I ask because if it were that way, it wouldn't seem necessary to have to size again with the Micron?

Also, will the Cortina die bump the shoulders, or is it only doing the body?

Edit: Nevermind, I found a demo video for it, and see it only does the base and the neck i.d.

Anyone tough enough to livecwith thevknee i had, is tough enough to do the rehab.
We are already discovering i hav3 to completely relearn how to walk...litwrally.
The knee was so bad i no longee know how to walk proper. Its woerd.

Definitely follow the rehab and the relearning to walk correctly. I’m positive that my father’s back surgeries were directly related to his not completing the knee replacement rehab correctly. Granted there were some other injuries, but not walking/standing correctly was a Big factor in the back problems.

Shoulder Bump: 1.556" feels perfect – still size to 1.554"?

I'm guessing someone ran an average in a spreadsheet, and copy-pasta'd all the digits, rather than truncating back to the thousandth like they should. Then they're trying to read something significant from what are basically rounding errors.

At that point, he's probably better off just going with sizing til the bolt closes easily... cuz numbers aren't his strong suit.
