    Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700)

    Re: Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700) Just an update. I cleaned the heck out of the chamber with a chamber brush and cleaned out inside of the bolt while pushing the spring loaded ejector on the bolt face (I forget the name of that part). Not sure if the issue was a dirty...

    Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700)

    Re: Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700) The brass without the bullet chambers fine. The issue is almost certainly with the gun and not the reloads since it came up half way through a box of ammo that was shooting fine and now happens with most of the rest of my loads which were...

    Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700)

    The other day in the middle of the range session it became very difficult to chamber a round and almost impossible to extract loaded rounds. On some of the rounds closing the bolt felt very gritty. Extracting fired brass was normal, but extracting loaded rounds usually required quite a bit of...

    Rifle Scopes eo tech, AA or CR123

    Looking at an eo-tech for my AR. Debating between the CR123 model and the 512 (aa model). I'm not really concerned about leaving space on the rail for other accessories, but weight is a concern. Most of my electronics at home run on AA batteries so it would make life simplier to have an AA...

    Rifle Scopes Spacing of slots for 2 piece bases for eo tech?

    Buying new rings and bases for my Kimber montana.  Basically my kimber was the only rifle that didn't have picitiney or weaver style mounts so I thought I'd switch it over in case I ever had a reason to switch a scope from one rifle to another, I could do so with minimal effort.    I'd like to...

    upper node for 155 grainers with Varget

    I just started experimenting with 155 grain bullets (SMK palmas) in my .308. I was wondering where you have found the max load to be with these bullets with Varget. I found a good node at around 45.5 grains, but I don't get the velocity I want as I'm trying to make a load for beyond 1000...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper FFP Moa Review

    Re: Vortex Vector FFP Moa Review I'm guessing you have a 1 in 12 twist barrel which probably wont be fast enough for that range. If I push 175s to 2700 I can get 900 yards but they won't make it to 1000. Try 168s or 155's. By pushing 168s to at least 2650 you should be able to get to 1000...

    How little recoil from a braked .243 AR-10

    Re: How little recoil from a braked .243 AR-10 Thanks for the input. Out of curiosity, was the AR-10 that kicked like a .223 braked? What weight of .223 would it jump equivalent to? Any particular brakes recommended? I'm not so much interested in eliminating strait back recoil as I am...

    How little recoil from a braked .243 AR-10

    I’m considering building an AR-10 on the .243 Winchester cartridge. I’m thinking of a 24-26 inch barrel with a heavy barrel and a scoped weight of 10-11 lbs. I’m wondering if I get a good muzzle brake if it will be possible to maintain sight picture and watch the impact or if this is only...

    Advice on primer choice

    Re: Advice on primer choice For years I shot the standard CCI primers. Out to 400 yards the gun shot fine. At 600 my groups were a little bigger than I wanted, but I tolerated it. When I started shooting farther, my grouops got much bigger. I switched to Federal match primers and my...

    Best quality, but cheapest rage finder out there?

    Re: Best quality, but cheapest rage finder out there? I've tried lots of differant rangefinders. Out of everyting I tried, I've found Leica's to be the best quiality. For the Money though Nikon makes the best rangefinder by far. Although I like their optics, I wasn't impressed by...
