    Feeding problem after a new build...

    I actually prefer a 3/16" stone on a dremel, makes a nice small notch. Not much is needed and it doesnt need to be wide. Find center of feed ramp, working from underside makes this job easy, mark with sharpie and just make a 1/8-3/16" deep notch. The rd doesnt use the bottom 1/3 of feed ramp...

    Remington xm-3 vs Remington 40XS

    I always liked the looks of the xm3, especially when you'd see in country pics. A friend was gathering parts to build one, as close as possible. He gave up on some parts and decided against 308 and went 6.5creed. I can tell you that after shooting it he and I hated that stock. Even with a...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Bohem, would there be much weight difference between light palma and .75 taperless?

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I can see that, my DA is usually 1500+ when I get to shoot. Can I ask thoughts on why watermark held better, more gyroscopic stability?

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Do you have a pic of that rifle? I've been thinking of getting a taperless for a light weight yote rifle, for when the carbon proof dies.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I've used 8tw forever in 6mm with 6br to 243AI, never had an issue or reduced bc with 107smk or 105vld & hybrids. I did have 2 identical barrels(as much as possible with 2 barrels), same chamber same length and contour and maker. 1 was an 8tw and the other a 7tw, the 7tw shower pressure at...

    Why do people load so hot?

    Well, ill listen to lash 100x more than anything you have to say. To your point, yes, trying to make a 6br into 6gt or creed is dumb. 6creed will feed better than a br without needing special mags. If you have a short action rifle but you want performance closer to a long action for hunting...

    Finally got a break from work to drag out my 7prc pva/cdg, 1125yds with 184gr berger/h1000@3050fps. This thing hammers and vertical is unreal.

    0 Headspace Chamber?

    If you die will size all the way back and isnt a smidge long. I've been in this situation and ended up having a shellholder shaved down a couple thou and then I could bump shoulder .0015 under fired size. Keep in mind, virgin brass will be 3-5 though under min.

    KRG W3, what tool to torque front action screw?

    Done this before. Im not a big fan of using ball end Allen keys(fix it) on stuff that you can get straight on, it's a good way to eat up fastener head or slip and booger it up. Ball end Allen's do not have the same amount of engagement as a regular Allen key, turn wrenches for a living.

    What’s the cause?

    Use the depth part of calipers to measure pin protrusion when fp is in the "fired" state. Too much protrusion, thin primers cups(cci400), and max or near max load can cause this, by themselves or in combination. Those primer disc's can definitely cause drag of fp or fail to ignite from...

    Barrel choice for an accuracy international AT 308 firing 155 gr lapua scenar L

    If you got the barrel, try it. If buying, id lean towards a 10 or 11.25 twist for that bullet and shorter barrel. H4895 will be your friend.
