    HOLE IN HOLE show them!!

    This was shot with my stock Rem 700 (a Dicks' $350). The load is 175 gr. SMK backed by 42.0 grains of Varget. I cannot replicate again since I ran out of Federal primers and cannot find any locally nor do I have any bullets to load when I do..This same load using Winchester LR primers goes to...

    45acp SMALL primer

    I will use them for USPSA matches if it's a dead brass match. I will re-size/de-prime them, primer them with a Lee hand primer,and then run them back through my progressive die minus decapper and primers. They are a pain-in-the-ass in a progressive press if one gets mixed with large pistol brass...

    Group testing Varget and 178gr AMAX (.308)

    Re: Group testing Varget and 178gr AMAX (.308) I feel like a pussy only running 40.5 grains of Varget with my AMAX's. I start seeing high pressure around 42 grains using Winchester military brass, Winchester primers, and 2.850 COL. I just got my Speed Magneto chronograph so I'll see what my...

    Choate tactical S/A stock, how bad is it?

    Re: Choate tactical S/A stock, how bad is it? I have small hands as well and have not had any issues with the Choate stock. I find it is a great value if building something on a budget.

    who has success with 41.5gr Varget?

    Re: who has success with 41.5gr Varget? 42 grains Varget with 175 SMK at 2.900 in my 700 will shoot 1/4 to 1/2 MOA. This was with a Federal LR primer but need to adjust for LRM primers since it opens up to around 1 MOA...

    brass vs. steel case a great review

    Re: brass vs. steel case a great review Hornady is fine. It's just a steel case with copper/lead bullet. I've shot a fair amount of it and wish I could find more..:)

    brass vs. steel case a great review

    Re: brass vs. steel case a great review There was an article in 'Front Sight' last year where they used a high power microscope to look at bi-metal bullets after they were shot and it showed the rifling going through the copper wash in to the steel jacket. This test proves what they found...

    DIY upgrades for Remington 700 .308 Varmint

    Re: DIY upgrades for Remington 700 .308 Varmint I've been working up loads with my 1:12 Remington (from Dick's) and the 178 gr. Hornady AMAX are shooting the best at .5 MOA. All you can do is try different loads at see what works and not just going off of what you read. To get the thread...

    Instaling Choate Tactical on Rem 700 ADL Short

    Re: Instaling Choate Tactical on Rem 700 ADL Short Take the bushing out of the old stock and grind it down since the hole in the stock is not deep enough to accept the bushing as is. Once you've got the bushing where you need it height wise go ahead and give a few taps in with a hammer. I...

    Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday

    Re: Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday I free floated it but didn't sink anymore in to it after finding the stock wasn't very comfortable for me. I purchased a Choate Tactical and am very happy with the price and how my shooting has improved with it. I kept the old stock since...

    Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday

    Re: Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday The scope is one of Midway's 3-10x40 Weaver's. It's a very clear scope and will stay on the rifle for a while but I am in the process of saving some dough for a Vortex. I am not real comfortable with the traditional stock since I have...

    Re: Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday Finally got it zeroed today and tried to ring some steel at 260 yards but my wind reading needs some improvement. I can't wait to start working on some reloads after shooting my zero group (3/4") with some 7.62..

    Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday

    Re: Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday I am still waiting to shoot mine. I mounted and bedded the Weaver base but ordered the wrong scope rings so hopefully Midway has them to me by the end of the week. I have my trigger adjusted down to 2 1/2 lbs. right now which feels very...
