    Barrel Swapping from Bergra to R700?

    It’s a fair ask, I mean it’s a 700 clone and has some cross compatibility

    Barrel Swapping from Bergra to R700?

    Also I believe the B14 is metric thread on top of all the other things that won’t let you swap them

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    If I can get half that barrel life and stay 1/2moa I’ll be thrilled, which shouldn’t be to difficult but still a solid amount of rounds.

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    I found something similar with the 75ELD-M, only ran one powder load through my replacement barrel but they definitely didn’t like getting pushed in the 2950 range. I tried some 80SMK and they shot impressively better a bit slower but I can always dial more elevation.

    Ammunition evaluation and sighting in question.

    I haven’t bought factory ammo in ages, so I haven’t been keeping up on what it’s actually costing but I will say my reloading cost has gone up a bit.

    Ammunition evaluation and sighting in question.

    Once I find a couple suitable loads I’ll go out to 200 and possibly 300 if it’s a calm wind day just to get that extra data

    Ammunition evaluation and sighting in question.

    I’d also do a 5 shot group just because it’ll give you a larger sample size and I’d send at least 50-100 before really trying to get solid data.

    School me on 223 AICS mags

    223 is a weird one and I don’t know why, either it works or is doesn’t. I know single feeding my TL3 is a slight pain because the rounds don’t sit high enough and I have to get them started into the chamber but yet it feed great from a magazine 🤷

    School me on 223 AICS mags

    Now I’m happy I didn’t get one for my 223 project, seems no one’s gotten them to cycle consistently.

    That’s bummer

    Strong action for high pressure 7mm Backcountry

    I believe the element/element hunter is the only hybrid aluminum action they produce, the rest of the line are steel actions from what I understand.

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    You can probably get away with a 26” M24 contour, I’ve had pretty good luck with that combo in my PRS1 with the heavy fill which should be a similar weight to the T2A-GAP

    Still contemplating a savage 10fp in 308.

    Sounds like the project is moving along nicely

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    The 85.5 is definitely a long bullet, I wanted to try them but never got around to it.
