What sling are you guys running for hunting? I would like something that does not dig into the shoulder and that I can get in to fairly quickly in case I need to sling up for a shot. Thanks
Good info, thanks. Hey Fail https://tikkaperformance.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=54211 Looks pretty darn close to factory. I will probably go this route eventually.
I see most seem to swap out the shroud. Were they breaking or just a good to do since the factory one is plastic? I just picked up two T3 lites, 7mm-08 and 7RM, for hunting purposes. Hey shootin, the BC stocks are pretty darn good for the price. I have run a few of them under 700 actions...
I wouldn't necessarily base an opinion on one case. I transported a guy shot 6 times in the back with a .40 S&W. He lived. I pronounced (dead on arrival) a guy shot once in the chest with a .22 LR from about 30 yds. I am not going to choose a .22 over the .40. Of all the people I have dealt...
No problems shipping it back to you. You can even use the postal service if you so desire to ship long guns; no handguns, ammo, primers, powder, however. I have used UPS and USPS and found far less headache using the postal service. Strange but true.
I think paying $30 for a pouch is way better than paying $200 for a new magwell + the cost for mags. Apples to oranges. One simply carries ammo, the other carries ammo and allows for faster reloading.
You should be good on a LA seating depth wise. I removed my die's expander ball and use a separate Sinclair expander die. Not to size up but to achieve more consistent neck tension. I have read that using the standard die to size up is not the right way to do it; using an expander die is.
280 brass does seem to be easier to find. I am considering it when I re-barrel purely because of the brass issue. Some have no problems with donuts. They simply run a mandrel through the 6.5 brass to open it up. I cannot find the particular thread but, donuts seem to become an issue when seating...
I wouldn't call acquiring WW 284 brass a hassle. More like impossible. Three inquiries to WW lead me to believe they may never make it again. At a minimum, it is certainly on a wayyyy back burner until caught up on more popular product. My brass has about had it so I will be forced to try some...
Since the barrel is already cut there isn't much you can do. I found H4350 to work better for me than SC. You may give it a try with a 162 and see how it does. I run it with a 175 at around 2780 and a 26" Oby.
