Just hooked up my Sporter/XFR to IPhone 6 and it would not communicate at first. As was mentioned, volume control on the IPhone was the problem. Simply put volume at max and it connected right away. Very good data transfer and makes it much easier to control the device. Am going to try the...

I would assume the distance part but could be wrong... Am wearing glasses at the request of my surgeon, cataract surgery coming up. The exam to measure the eye and get the right lens for the surgery requires no contacts be worn for 2 weeks before that appointment. It's tough as I've worn...

Just a follow up on the sleeve repair to my Remington bolt. First is the pre-repair primer with 39.5gns IMR4350 and 140gn ELD, the second image is today's range trip, same load, sleeved bolt, all other details identical. For the price of the repair (80.00) and the primes looking better (to me...

Got the bolt back from Jerry today, great job and really quick turnaround. Very good to work with and would recommend him to anyone. Here's a photo of the bolt face, can't tell much but I suppose that's a good thing. Thanks to everyone here and for the recommendation. Hope to get to the range...

Jerry has the bolt now, will post photos of the bushing when it's back.

I'd like to shoot it, got to get by the obsessive compulsive part of me that is bugged by the primers as I've developed all kinds of loads for other rifles and never had to see that happen. It would probably take quite a while for the bolt head to get damaged and I may never shoot it enough...

It seemed that way to me, that's why the cratering had me baffled until I got the info here. I was pretty close to the middle of the charge range at 39.5, had quite a way to go before hitting the edge of a safe range. I could just keep shooting it I suppose but the bolt face would take a...

Thanks, done.

Thanks for that, I was just concerned that if it takes the long end of the listed time I'd be without the rifle until the new year. Seems too long to wait for a process like this so I contacted Longrifles Inc and we'll see what they say. Of course I contacted Remington but expect nothing back...

I have a feeling mine will crater about everything as well, started with 38gns of 4350 and got cratering there. Only difference at 39.5 was the gas blow-by. I'm not sure this rifle will shoot any primer without the bushing fix. I didn't hear a fee in that video from Gre-Tan, anybody had him...

Thanks for all the responses. Bushing the firing pin area makes sense, I guess it has to do with how much I want to stick with the small primer Lapua cases. Then again, it cratered the large primer Horndady brass as well. So, seems like I need to try another primer or get the work done on the...

I've been hanging out here for some time, now need some help. I'm just beginning to load for 6.5 Creedmoor, using new Lapua small primer cases. I seem to be getting a primer crater on almost every load. Here's the specs Remington 700 24 inch barrel New Lapua Cases CCI 400 primers Loads...

I've got 4 or 5 reloads on some PPU brass, no primer pocket issues, case necks are fine, it's my go-to civilian brass, compares pretty well with LC in my experience. FC is the one that loses primer pockets the quickest for me. I've done some volume and weight comparisons between PPU and LC and...

Been meaning to join for some time now, finally got around to it. Been shooting for most of my life, and that's a while since I'm just about to turn 66. Limited long range shooting in this area (Laguna Seca Rifle Range) but it has to do. Just glad it's here but fear it won't be for that much...
