    Gunsmithing Release Agent for bedding

    RustGuardit is the best stuff that I have used. Spray it on liberally from all angles and let it dry for about 20 min. Nothing will stick to it. Very clean lines compared to messy paste wax. I will never use paste wax again as long as I can get the spray.

    I have a 1 in 8 twist Bartlein Rem. Var. contour barrel and a Dave Kiff .260 Tactical Match .294 NK reamer on the way. The rifle will be used for long range target shooting as well as deer hunting. Any suggestions on barrel length? I was thinking 26 in?????

    best barrel?

    Re: best barrel? I have had a few custom barrels over the years. To date only one of them would consistantly shoot a clean cold bore shot in the rest of the group. The change in POI (in between loads) for most loads that I have tested varies typically less than .75 inch @100. There is...

    Can a bullet be overstabilized??

    Re: Can a bullet be overstabilized?? When a bullet has more rotation than is necessary to stabilize it, any imperfections in the bullet will be magnified. Kinda like an out of balance tire.

    Modified case will not work

    Re: Modified case will not work If you still have a couple of inches of the cut off barrel, run the reamer in it up to the shoulder. You will then have a duplicate of your chamber to use as a comparator. It works great until you get some throat erosion.

    loads for .25-06?

    Re: loads for .25-06? I have three 25-06's. They all shoot better with 100gr. bullets than the heavier ones. I have had very good luck with the 100gr. NBT's on deer. I have killed quite a few with that bullet, including one that weighed 193 pounds. No problem with the bullet holding up...
