    Remington 700 upgrade question

    Re: Remington 700 upgrade question This are the last two groups I shot at one hundred yards two weeks ago after resetting my zero to test the repeatability of my scope. With my reloads I can shoot groups like this all day if I'm doing my part. I purchased a new set of Warne Steel...

    Remington 700 upgrade question

    I have some extra cash and want to either upgrade my optics or true my action and rebarrel. I have a Remington SPS Varmit in .308 that shoots well for factory gun with an aftermarket trigger(Timney) and stock (B&C). The rifle currently has a Millet LRS 4-16x50 and it's ok, but not the greatest...

    Remington 700 .308 Varmit with an OAL of 2.87"

    I wanted to determine the OAL for my rifle, so I purchased a Lee Collet neck sizing die and Hornady Bullet Comparator to help me determine the OAL. I neck sized fired brass putting enough tension so the case would hold the bullet, but loose enough so I could move it with my figers. My average...

    Ogive question

    Re: Ogive question I really had fits with the Hornady tool, so I'll be taking it back to Cabelas. I've figured out that my gun shoots very well with 43.5 grains of Varget , CCI BR2 primers and a 168 grain AMax. So now I'm going to experiment with the OAL to determine where the bullet hits...

    Ogive question

    Re: Ogive question You're right, I am looking for the lands. The measurement I mentioned (ogive) is from the base of the case to the point I believe the bullet touches the lands. I'm trying to determine the proper seating depth for my rounds. Joe

    Ogive question

    I'm new to reloading and trying to determine the ogive for my rifle. I used the Hornady case length gage (formerly Stoney Point) and after many attempts it appears my ogive is somewhere between 2.1460 and 2.1470. My rifle is a Remington Varmit/Tactical in 308. I'm know there can be variation...

    Re: Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V I purchased this gun a few years back at Dick's Sporting Goods for $499.00 after the rebate. I replaced the stock with a B&C, added a 20 MOA base, bottom metal, bipod and adusted the factory trigger. With these modifications and my hand loads, I've...

    Rifle Scopes Mueller APT 4.5x14 Scope question

    Recieved my new Mueller 4.5 x 14 APT today and it appears to have a problem with the Windage and Elevation adjustments. I cannot have the elevation and windage knobs turned all the way down or up at the same time. To turn the elevation knob all the way down/up, I have to have the windage knob...
