    Bergara B-14 HMR 308 Loads

    PRCslut, I usually shoot 10 shot groups when doing load development (got the idea from a Hornady podcast on load dev., I think it was episode 052). With the Sierra 168MK's, I loaded 48.0 gr. of CFE223 (1.0 gr. below max per that same Hornady podcast) and got a 1 3/8" 10 shot group. With 42.7...

    Bergara B-14 HMR 308 Loads

    I have the Wilderness version of your HMR, and mine didn't like any Hornady factory ammo or reloads. Mine did like Sierra 168 MK and 175 MK's that I reloaded with Varget, CFE223 and AA2495. I tried Hornady 155 AMax, 168 and 175 pills, and it didn't like any of them.

    Rem 700 sps tac / str. eagle x56 scope - stock mount get it done?

    I have an EGW rail and it fits and works fine on my R700 in .223. They make good stuff. I can't argue with Lost_Phil though on having a rail with a recoil lug for heavier recoiling rifles. Without a recoil lug cast or machined into a rail, the shear forces of recoil are taken up by the...

    Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

    Does anyone know if using a Criterion barrel that I normally would do with the Remage threaded barrel (and nut), would that fit the Solus action. Or would a Savage shanked barrel fit? Also, in the box for just the action it looks like it comes with a barrel nut, correct?

    SOLD TriggerTech Special 2 Stage Flat Trigger

    Is this the version that fits factory Remington 700 actions as I know they also make one that only fits clone actions? The rifle I might put this on is a Remington factory rifle.

    Scope rail bedding question

    Thanks for all the responses! I think I will give the Imperial Wax a try and report back.

    Scope rail bedding question

    Spending the dollars we all do to enjoy the shooting sports, I'm with you that a tin of shoe polish certainly won't break the bank! I was just curious if anyone else used Imperial Sizing Wax as it makes sense that a die wax that keeps cases from sticking to dies would also work as a bedding...

    Scope rail bedding question

    I have a new Bergara B-14 Wilderness I am breaking in. I want to mount a Nightforce 20 MOA scope rail to it and had a question on release compounds. I usually see folks recommending shoe wax to spread on the receiver to release from the JB Weld (plus Play Doh in the screw holes). I have a tin...

    .300 PRC & Ruger RPR & Injured Shoulders - Workable?

    I'm a lefty with right eye dominance, and years ago switched from shooting left handed to right handed for shotguns and rifles. It's amazing how the body can adapt. Switch shoulders!
