    Hardfacing on bolt, upper receiver, etc.

    Re: Hardfacing on bolt, upper receiver, etc. http://www.pof-usa.com/upper/upperreceiver.htm Go read about these uppers, they basically put a nickel/teflon coating on all moving parts. It appears they have replaced the cam pin w/ a roller now also.

    223 16 in or 20 in barrel

    Re: 223 16 in or 20 in barrel I would recommend an 18" or 20" barrel if you are building a target upper. I recently went from a 20" barrel to an 18" barrel as I loose very little in terms of velocity w/ 55gr-62gr bullets and about 50fps w/ the 75gr/77gr bullets. A 16" barrel looses about...

    Re: Rem 700 in .223 v .308 Nothing wrong with having a 308win, match ammo is everywhere for them and they all shoot good.

    Ok, here is the story. I had a rifle put together by a local gunsmith. Rifle is a Rem700 magnum action originally in 300rum. I picked up a Rock 1/9.4 338 cal blank. My smith rented a reamer from reamerrental.com or something along those lines. I measured out my throat once I got the rifle...

    Re: MN member checking in! Planning on adding an AICS 1.5 to my 338RUM build to add even more heft to it. Hopefully the 300gr bullets will be pretty mellow if I keep the MV down. It is nice having full motion of my shoulder again and the strength has come back quickly. Probably because I...

    Re: .223 load recommendations for H335 in Bushmast I run a 55gr nosler b-tip w/ 24gr of H335 loaded to mag length with good results. Somewhere between 24-25gr should work well w/ a 50gr v-max.
