    AICS .300 WM feeding problem

    On any other gun I would bend the mag lips open as this allows the cartridge to ride up higher in the mag. It must be pretty close close already.

    Rifle Scopes Ideas on how to keep aluminum rings tight

    The screws only take so much torque, whether the rings are steel or aluminum. I assume you have a gap on both sides if the ring once torqued down? You are using a torque wrench of some type and following the manufacturers recommended settings? Lastly, if the base is loose the rings will...

    Rifle Scopes USO SR8 1-8 Reddot; worth it?

    Uh,oh, SWFA fan boys will see this as an insult and this thread will derail.

    Rifle Scopes new scope rings

    I have two of these and can't figure out what to do with them though I like the idea of binos. Back on topic, I only buy one piece mounts now that include rings. The last I purchased, and I am very please except the front mounting screw should have been shorter, was a DNZ heavy duty with...

    Rifle Scopes Poll - Scopes you have used and scopes you have broken.

    Problem with this format is that people are more likely to post if they have, or have had, a problem, at least it was in my case above. I mean really, have nearly 1/3 of the S&B scopes had issues? Also, I would limit the issues to those requiring a return to the manufacturer for repair. I...

    Rifle Scopes Poll - Scopes you have used and scopes you have broken.

    Bushnell tactical elite 6-24x50 FFP g2dmr. Chased a scope problem thru 300 rounds of ammo thinking it was 1) hot barrel; 2) bedding; 3) scope mount; and lastly, the scope. Excellent customer service, they jumped immediately to the scope being the problem. Problem was evidenced by the gun...

    Remington 700 LA Trigger Upgrade

    i've put hundreds of bench rounds thru my jewell. The trigger is incredible. I've heard it fails easily with dirt but haven't seen it. I don't see how it could happen, maybe in sand, heavy dust? but I would think that would hurt any of them. I have mine set at 1.5#, came at 1# and measured...

    Range Report Is there a reason the 215's shoot so fast???

    I read somewhere that heavier projectiles sometimes have higher efficiency in lager calibers. I has something to do with the initial charge building before the projectile gets moving. Makes sense in that I read where magnum primers can actually cause projectiles to unseat before the powder is...

    Range Report .300 win mag new load problem

    The slight variance in FPS between the two leads me to think it is primer or powder. There is a small chance that some rifle primers got mixed in with the magnum as we had loaded both recently but I am pretty careful. I made up some more last night with heavy brass, fresh primer box, etc and...

    Range Report .300 win mag new load problem

    I was going to throw this target away but it is keeping me awake at night. I shot 6 shots with a new COAL of 3.51" using 190 smk's loaded with 64gr of IMR 7828 SSC and magnum primers. Previously I had shot the same load with a COAL of 3.44 and they grouped pretty good, generally under .75MOA...

    Range Report Bullets shooting more accurate the further they go???

    Once a projectile is off track, nothing but a warp in the space-time continuum is going to bring it back. Epicyclic POI shift at various ranges,yes, and if you haven't seen the air rifle videos that demonstrate this, they are incredible. Pellet is spiraling all the way to the target and hits...

    Gunsmithing bad chamber job

    Look at the picture. There is a rough area that extends from the shoulder down about 1/4". I was asking if this was considered the problem area.

    .300 win mag COAL of 3.541 - seem long?

    I assume that this is a .300 win mag. are you loading into the lands? I made a box of .030 and will give them a shot, so the SMKs will be 3.51 COAL with 64.6 and 66 gr H1000. This will be a little light, I assume. thanks for the replies.

    Gunsmithing bad chamber job

    I can't tell from the picture if it is a scratch or does it look buffed like when the case stretches? Are talking about that rough looking area about 1/4" down the case below the shoulder?

    .300 win mag COAL of 3.541 - seem long?

    I made up a new tool to measure my throat free bore on my .300 win mag. I drilled out the back of a 240gr SMK, soldered in a 1/16 copper welding rod that then sticks through the primer hole of a sized cartridge. I turned the 240gr SMK down slightly so it fit freely in the cartridge but didn't...

    Mle High 5R 300 Win Mag

    Yes, I have about 600 rounds thru the barrel. I expect it to give decent service until maybe 1500.

    Mle High 5R 300 Win Mag

    I think the barrel on the lower might be same as on my .300wm tactical long range. Fluted, stainless though mine has their black trinite(sic) coating. It has had some good groups and some bad. The coating is harder than woodpecker teeth but seeing the other barrel makes me think I made a...

    UPDATE: New Rifle Won't Group: Suggestions?

    I'm curious, if when you pull the scope and mount off and look at the back of the holes in the mount, if you see deep thread marks? Also, make sure the front bolt is not bottoming on the barrel by pulling the back three bolts and with the front bolt tight, the mount shouldn't move, assuming a...

    Scope Base Installation Help

    too late now, but a hot soldering iron on the bolts usually will loosen about any loctite, superglue, etc before twisting. I usually do this to all unknown small set screws as well. Another way to do it is to put the torx on the bolt and heat the shaft of the driver with a small torch so the...
