Basically, Any short action that uses the .308 bolt face(.473). No magnums. That would require a different bolt. Check out this thread http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-bolt-action-rifles/52833-caliber-choices-comparison-applications.html There are others that are not on that...

Dta is using 1/8 twist in 308 16" barrels. That is due to the velocity being lower out of the short barrel. That does not mean 1/8 is better for all 308 barrels. Shooting heavy bullets out of short barrels with fast twists is not the way to get to 1k yards. Sure, it can be done but that's not...

24 gr varget shoots great out of my dads 1:8 16" barrel. It shoots good out of my 18" noveske also.

All bartlein and kriegers are cut rifled. The criterion that Fulton sells is a button rifled barrel. Criterion is owned by krieger and produces button rifled barrels.

I didn't see it mentioned but I used the k&m trimmer. It was easy, maybe not as fast a giraud but definitely cheaper. It trims, chamfers and deburrs at the same time. I would usually load about 30 at a time and it worked great. I also like their primer pocket uniformed and flash hole reamer...

Thanks. That is the only group I shot at paper at that distance. I usually shoot steel. I normally can keep 3-4 out of 5 shots on 8" round plate. The load that day was 140gr Berger hybrids 42.0 gr H4350 Hornady brass Fed 210m primer 2.810" The factory hornady ammo is excellent as well.

I have this barrel. It is a hammer. I've shot 8" 5 shot group at 1000yds with it. 3 of those were 2.75". I'm sure it could do better. I am the limiting factor. [/URL]

Does the trigger reset normally when you cycle by hand?

If you can afford it I say go for it. I never thought I'd get one but I sold my ar50 and .50 reloading stuff and was able to afford it. I got mine a few months ago and love it. For bench and prone it's great. I just took mine out last night and shot some loads not developed for the gun using...

You have only shot one type of ammo so far? The 7.62 fgmm is not the same as the .308fgmm. Get some other ammo, try fgmm or black hills. Everybody wants to blame the gun when it doesn't shoot .2. Remember, it's not a custom gun. I'm sure it can shoot better than 1moa if you find what it likes...

It's hard to figure out group locations when it's so far from your poa with no grid. You should make sure your scope is zeroed before you start the test.

I may have overlooked it but what twist barrel did you use?

Excellent info! Any chance you are going to manatee tomorrow?

Definitely get a headspace bushing gauge or rcbs precision mic Primer pocket uniformer I wouldn't worry about a neck turning tool. You probably won't notice the difference in your groups. If you have the time and extra money then give it a try. In a rifle with a factory chamber and if you use...

Try whidden gun works. They make really nice dies. They had my 6 creedmoor dies in stock. Took a couple days to get here. I haven't used them yet but they're just as nice or nicer then redding. They came with a shoulder bump bushing too.
