Not 4350, but am trying Hunter with the 208. Accuracy was good, speed a bit lower than I'd like. Am going to give 2000-MR a try, as it seems to be a little slower than RL15/Varget but a bit faster than RL17 and has done very well with 185 class bullets for me.
Don't care for the lee seater. Yes, they work well enough but I prefer the rcbs competition seater with the window or a seater with a mic head - the hornady seater works well for me with the micrometer head.
Like the op I have built a 223 for economical f t/r. PP2000MR and the 80gr berger vld has me right at 2800fps. The nodes are narrow however - 1/10th of a grain does make a difference. That is the challenge of the 223 though. Small case, small variations. Off the lands about .03 or so. Have also...
Anyone using Hunter or one of the 4350s with 208gr and up bullets in a 308 Win loaded long? I'm beginning to work with Hunter and 208 Amax - wondering if others have walked that path before.
I'm going to be a party pooper here on the whole mil/mil tactical scope thing. Key words: Brush hunting, 300 yard range. Exposed turrets, adjustable parallax and brush hunting aren't the greatest mix. If the goal is to do a lot more tac comps than deer hunts, well - there ya go - but if you...
use lots of water to rinse. I take mine from the cleaner and put it in a Tupperware (or other container laying around that is clean) and set it in the sink under the tap. I run water to fill and dump several times - usually hot water, but no matter there. Lots of rinse usually leaves the...
Are you getting a wide 'bur' on the case mouth? If you mash to hard (feed to fast) the cutter sometimes smears a bit. Slow your feed rate and see if it improves.
The spring doesn't turn it into a Jewell, but it does improve things pretty significantly. Trade offs. Rem factory triggers seem to be fairly robust, but have limits on how crisp, how light. Jewell seem to be more sensitive to gunk. Same kind of thing to consider with other triggers. How...
The cheapy SPS-V (which is a great starter rifle!) stock has changed a little bit over the years. It is better now than it used to be, but still not anywhere near as good as a B&C, McMillan, HS, or Manners. They seem to have added some ribbing for reinforcing the front end some. Still has a...
There are two (for the most part) triggers in the current Remington lineup - one has a little set screw on the trigger - the other doesn't. Both are adjustable to an extent by an 'end user.' Take a look at 'Ernie the gunsmith' for both trigger identification and lighter springs.
It takes about 2 evenings to bed a rail. Could have it done by now! Yes, you are probably being over paranoid. For the 'cost' involved -I think being paranoid is not a 'bad' thing.
The Weaver rail works just fine. I've used a couple of them in both the 20moa and the 0moa flavors. Get good rings - lord knows I spent almost 5 times more for the rings than the base. I like the Seekins stuff, but there are other goodies out there. I'm becoming a fan of the B&C stocks as an...
