DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

Hopefully, I'm not going way out in left field on this idea but here goes. Is there any chance @RAVAGE88 can produce a super accurate rimfire with a Fortner / straight-pull action that would fit in a R700 stock or chassis?

Yes, I know that Anschutz and Volquartsen already produce rifles with those actions but I'm confident that @RAVAGE88 has the skill to design one that can top those other manufacturers.

I realize that sounds like a crazy, outside of the box request. Yet, @RAVAGE88 was thinking outside the box when he started making super accurate rifles that had a 700 footprint years ago and look how it took off!

Pardon me while I slip into something flame-retardant.

7mm PRC

Finally had time over the last 2 weeks to finish load development on my custom 7 PRC. Here is my load I worked up in my rifle:

Peterson Brass (2.2630”) trimmed (wet tumbled, & annealed)
(3) thousandth neck tension
Federal 215m Match Primer
(66.20g) H1000
Berger 190g LRHT
AVG group size: (.25”)
AVG muzzle velocity: 2970fps

(Chronograph data was taken today for the 4th confirmation group)
what barrel length are you running with those speeds and charge? thank you

Tariffs and ammo prices?

No
I'm not sure we will know how this plays out for a while yet. There was a mad rush in March/April to get in inventory before tariffs hit. Until vendors run out of inventory on hand I think it will stay flat.
They will pass on the price hike on inventory they had at the "standard gouging rate" instantly.

And will run the bullshit price till hell freezes over if thier price drops.

The only time they adjust it back down is when we quit buying and they are stacked to overflowing with inventory .

And they no longer put anything into upgrade or expansion. All that just goes to short term profits the company then crumbles and the fucking locusts laugh and move on.

WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

Shoot a 5x5 from the mag, then another single feeding.

Do this for 4 or 5 different seating depths and 4 or 5 neck tensions.

By the time you have enough data to figure it out, it’ll be time to call up Craddock for another barrel.

Or… accept that sub moa (which the left group appears to be) is exceptional for any semi auto.
Already sent the barrel back.... No issues found. Can't see it's anything with the barrel since it shot a 0.147" group single feeding it. I have to conclude that the rifle is accurate, my loads are accurate and I can shoot it accurately.... But something is happening during the BCG cycling that is screwing up something.... What that something is I have no idea......
Just to check out if my handloads are the issue.... I've fired factory FGGM and Federal T308T..... No difference when magazine fed. I have two different BCG's and nothing changes....

Still 100% convinced he threw that fight with Jake Paul. All that biting his glove bs was him holding back; I honestly believe he could have literally killed that clown at any time.

Sad, but we know Mike’s price... and in fairness to him, $20M to fund his children’s future is a lot of incentive.
