Bankruptcy R700 woes

Mike, this is an incredibly helpful picture. I can see where my screw made the slightest amount of contact with the lug. If you don’t mind, how much did you file the screw down? I would imagine a small change would alleviate this.

As far as excreting the magazine goes, I’m inclined to switch to a BDL bottom metal. Can anybody recommend a low tier / middle of the road option for that? This is just a muddy weather hunting rifle, so I’m not super concerned with the quality of this part so long as it feeds.

You won’t be switching to a BDL bottom metal. Feed rails don’t exist in a R700 DM model.

Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

Maybe I'm just bitching out loud after a hard week in the reloading room, but it seems like I'm the only one who ever screws up. Example: ruined a perfectly good piece of brass by accidently smacking it off center into a mandrel.

Anyone else feel that or is everyone a smooth reloader and I should take up knitting?

Oh yes, it is sometimes frustrating. But @diggler1833 has the right approach. If you read on the internet enough you will get the feeling that you have to "get to a kernel of Varget" or "seat to +/-0.0005" when in reality most of the time these types of thing just don't matter. Now lock rings and seating dies can be a pain! Does s 0.001" vs 0.002" of shoulder setback really change the POI on target? Woll it matter?

I personally enjoy reloading most of the time. But I've found that I need to be in the right state of mind so that those frustrating little things just don't get to me.

You might also look at some of the things you are doing and consider whether or not you are loading to right specifications. The example I like to give is "touching the lands". That in an almost undefined condition. When you consider tolerance on bullet ogive even if you could load to the exact dimension every time the difference in bullet profile may engage differently and that difference can significantly vary pressure. Or that missing that single kernel of Varget that is so troublesome is going to take your 5 SD to 4.4 SD. If you are looking for it you are chasing noise!

Screwups? Well crushing not one but two pieces of Lapua brass because I had a taper crimp seating die set up as a dead Length Sizer? Yep. Spilling a cartridge case full of powder over 25 powdered cases? Yep. Dump wrong powder in container? Yep, fortunately very similar speed and type, Its 4064Vget. I ashamed to admit it. Read the caliper wrong? Seldom but not never. I have a collet and an inertia bullet puller? Yep. Stuck Case? Not in a long time but several. Set CBTO to 2.225 instead of 2.215? Yep and it didn't make a difference.

Entry level gun and scope

B
This weekend went to my first range that you could shoot 1000 plus. Looking at 300 PRC Browning xbolt long range and the Bergara B-14 hmr which would you all suggest over these? Also need some ideas on scopes. I have a couple PST Gen 2s found out they don’t have enough adjustment to shoot a mile. Looking for something entry level that’s decent I live 7 hours to closest range to be able to shoot that

I'm not playing any 'fuck games'. I, like most rational sane people say it was a threat on Trump's life. There's no grounds to impeach him. Thats not a valid weapon anymore.

Since when did they need grounds to impeach him? In case you’ve not been following, there actually is already a movement to impeach him.

Zero press Gen2

I can't imagine a real benefit of the ball detent on the primer catch tray. It's not like it flops around or falls out as it is...
Seems unnecessary and just something to say that's "different".

Mine is on an Inline Fab quick change plate and every time I move the press it falls out. This was a practical, worthwhile upgrade for sure (in my opinion). Not a reason alone to release a new gen press, but if they were making bigger changes anyway (link arms) it makes sense to include this minor upgrade.
