I work for a electric coop and the best way to kill power on the whole grid is to take out the transmission lines going into distribution substation which supplies power to cities and households. Also you must be able to tell difference between distribution and transmission lines 1st.

Depends on what the rifle prefers. Either h-1000 or RL-33

Any rifle can be made to be accurate, just depends on who is building it and also the one behind the trigger. Looks and cool factor arent always the answer to a reliable and accurate rifle IMO.

When i chronographed the load it was around 50 degrees. Havent really shot load while it was super cold. If looking for some reloader 33 check out precision reloading they had some 8lb jugs for 145 bucks.

Tooter last place i saw some reloader 33 was at precision reloading and all they had were 8lb jugs@ 145 bucks.

Nice Edge! I just finished my edge project as well, it is alot of fun to shoot. If you haven't tried reloader 33 in it yet give it a go, it gives good velocity and ES. I get 2925 out of a 32" bartlein 5r with 300gr smk.

Reloader 33 data for edge shooters: My 300gr sierra load consist of 101grs@ 2925 out of 32" bartlein barrel 5R 1in10. Bolt lift is smooth and easy with no primer flattening. The load also has an ES of 10.

Having a fired case and the bad case will help them find the cause of problem quicker. Here are a couple pics of the custom rifles that my father and i built, one is a .308 and the other is 6mm-284.

When you send it back, send a fired case and a loaded case with the bullet pushed in.

No problem, hope you get it corrected so you can enjoy shooting it.

it really sounds like a headspace issue or the chamber wasnt cut correctly.

Here are my custom remington 700's that i built. One is a .308 and the other is 6mm-284. I'm building a .338 edge right now.

One other thing you can do if not already been done is lap locking lugs on bolt and action and have action trued. If curious on my profile photos , i have two pictures of custom remington 700's that my father and i built. From threading barrel,chambering, truing action, bedding stock with pillars.

I have a mosin also, very enjoyable relic/shooter. What loads do you run?

are you measuring the COAL of the whole loaded round? From you stated earlier that when you close bolt with round in chamber it pushes the bullet further into brass, that may mean you have the bullet seated to far into the lands of the rifling or your rifle has improper headspacing. Try loading...
