Help me choose an action please

Hi guys,

Can someone help me choose between some of these actions I'm looking at for a 338LM build?

I have a 1.35'' bartlein blank ready to go, and I want to build in an AI AXSR chassis.

Was considering:

1. Defiance
2. Impact
3. BAT
4. lone peak (this is just a white labelled impact though right?)
5. surgeon
6. Terminus

I know I basically just listed all the available options lol - but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Light bolt lift, 60 degree throw, are very important to me, as well as overall build quality and precision, though that will most likely come down to who chambers the barrel I thought.

Purpose of rifle is to compete with, but I want to stay under 25 pounds and don't want to build a benchrest rifle.

Thanks.

SOLD Bushnell HDMR Tremor2

I have a Bushnell HDMR Elite Tactical 3.5-21x56mm scope Id like to sell.

$800

First Focal Plane, 34mm tube, 56mm objective, 1/10 Mil locking adjustments, Horus Tremor2 reticle.

Scope is a very good shape but does have a few minor cosmetic blemishes on the exterior, most notably some light ring marks in front of the turrets where it looks like the rings weren't torqued correctly (happened before I got the scope). Tried to get pictures of this as best I could.

Glass is 100% bright and clear. Comes with MK Machine scope level & zoom ring lever as well as Vortex Defender flip caps. DOES NOT INCLUDE SCOPE MOUNT! I have the box and all the original paperwork for which will be included with the scope.

I really like this scope but Im changing up the rifle its lived on and this is just the wrong scope for the application now.

SOLD x1900 Cheap Powder Coated 300Blk Bullets

Bought ~2000 of the Hoosier 220gr .309" diameter bullets to shoot in my 300Blk about a year ago (Ballistic Advantage barrel). Sold that upper and built another, and now the barrel is not liking them (V Seven).

There are ~1900 left. I'd swap for a fair value of 220gr plated bullets or sell for $220 shipped to you.

Rifle Scopes Cross over scope, let’s beat it to death again

Apologize I know this gets talked about a bunch but things change and I like to get opinions. I’m looking for a light NRL hunter longer range hunting scope. I’m running the 5-25 mark 5 and its pretty decent , field of view is kinda meh and the turrets aren’t my favorite. I have a 4-16 ATACR but want a little more mag if possible and the reticle gets a bit thick at top end.

Looking for something under 35oz’s closer to 30 is better
20x or better would be great
Great glass and great turrets
Best possible field of view
Needs to work with LH action
Illumination preferred but not a deal breaker
Sub 4k

Does it exist??

Bullet and powder advice for 1:8 .223 for target/coyote shooting

Sorry in advance for asking something so basic but it would save me a lot of scouring the internet.

I am planning on purchasing a T3X Lite in .223 with a 22" 1:8 barrel for coyote hunting and target shooting. I have seen people get great accuracy out of T3X Lite contour barrels with a slow cadence of fire. Max mag length will be 2.44".

I am looking for a bullet and powder combination that is easy to load for (I don't want to chase the lands), is economical, and has decent terminal effects for predator control. I had initially planned to use 69gr SMKs but I am not seeing a lot of love for them online.

Bullets available to me in bulk in my price range include:

Sierre 69gr SMK
Sierra 77gr SMK
Sierra 77gr TMK
Hornady 75gr ELD-M
Hornady 73gr ELD-M

There are also lots of lighter bullets but I wasn't sure they would work as well in wind, in a 1:8, or in wind although I am far from an expert (obviously.) They include 52gr ELD-M, 55gr SMK, and 60gr TMK among others.

Powder available here is a bit limited with CFE 223 and Varget being what I think would work best. I plan to use Remington 7 1/2 primers.

I’m gonna be rich, Rich RICH!

Just this morning alone I received notices that I am due a $3590.76 refund for an overpayment on auto insurance, a$3198.19 for an overpayment from health insurance and a 3618.43 for an overpayment by Visa. That’s over 10K today. If these refunds keep coming in, I’m gonna have the home of my dreams and all the trimmings.

First time virgin brass prep

Ok first round of prepping virgin brass. This may be over kill for AR loads but its practice for new project soon.
Starline 223 rem.
1. Annealed brass(diy annealer along with templac 750 degree F
2. Ran through just the expander ball on forster die lubed inside of neck
3. Debur flash hole
4. Ran .22 cal bronze in drill press to clean necks
5. Chamfer and debur
6. Dry tumble to clean lube and debris off

Ok so my one question is virgin brass and new 20" WOA barrel. Do i carry on with load development while fire forming at the same time or load the brass on the low side then resize for the load development. Just curious on how my work turned out and will listen to any advice.
