    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    I'll check it out. It's a brand new barrel so I can hope that's not the case but it sure wont hurt to check

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    So I just pulled it all apart. Nothing was obviously wrong at all. It looks like the action is mating to the v block fine. Nothing odd with the scope base or anything. I mounted another scope I had laying around. I guess now I have to wait until next weekend to see what it does. This whole thing...

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    ill give all of that a try. i have a scope i can throw on it from another rifle, ill make sure everything seems straight/clean and re assemble the whole thing. after that ill put a box or two of factory hornady 140elds through it and lets see what happens.

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    lol youre right about that one. ill have to place an order. its still pretty odd that that hornady black shot like shit, although ive never used it before so i have nothing to compare to

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    and agreed. its frusturating that NO one within an hour of here has any match in stock, everyone has random shit or hunting rounds. i used to be able to find 140/147 match everywhere. ill see what i can find, maybe itll be worth a little drive.

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    loosening the rear action screw does not cause any movement at all as far as the action to the chassis is concerned

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    so no the threads are untouched on the action. all that was done to the action was the face was trued up, and the lugs were straightened. he did not touch the threads at all. so i went back out today to try again, and still im kind of at a loss. im leaning towards this gun just not liking the...

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    thats what i was expecting out of this thing... not over an inch. hopefully something figures itself out here shortly, this is a little dissapointing so far. im about to run around town here in a few min and see if i can find any factory 140eldms to shoot for comparison

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    if i can find some 140eld in stock anywhere ill give them a try. not to be dumb but does the barrel just need to settle in? ive got a grand total of 90 rounds through it(including the ones that lead to the results above). and i thought about swapping the scope out. this one is a leupold...

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    gotcha thanks. i was under the impression that dry tumbling was fine, but at this point im open minded. i do want to try the 130/140 hybrids. and the other ELDs if these dont work out

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    not changing anything just yet. thats an hour drive one way anyway, if im going to make a change ill be ordering something, so thats out for tomorrow. im with you on the consistency when reloading thing, so far so good, but ill keep an eye on everything this go around and see if i notice...

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    i wish i had others sitting around here. im tempted to take the drive to bass pro or something and see whats in stock. i wouldnt mind trying something else at all. worse case, i know the RPR likes the 147s, they can belong to it, and this one can shoot something else.

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    dont clean it? its spent about 5 min in the dry tumbler, but i can take it out if thats whats recommended. im not ignoring the lapua suggestion at all, just trying to work with what i have at the moment. if switching brass is whats needed than it can easily happen. as for what range, i dont...

    load development isnt going smoothly, i need a common sense check

    ill give it a try. and all of the group info was NOT with the magnetospeed attached. i went with 10 rounds of each today, grouped with 5 and chronoed 5. the groups with the magnetospeed(not mentioned above at all) were interesting to say the least, high poi shift and some groups tightened while...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith in the clarksville/fort campbell area?

    I went with rose action sports after some guys at work recommended him. Hes about a half hour from post, prices weren't bad and I'm looking at a 4 week turn around. I'll post up some thoughts after all is said and done if any one is interested

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith in the clarksville/fort campbell area?

    I have a remington 700 that I'm looking to have the barrel taken off of and action trued for a remage build I'm doing. Does any one have any shops they recommend in the area? I would prefer to stay local as opposed to shipping it somewhere. Thanks!

    Help me step up my reloading game

    I see what you're saying now, that makes sense.

    Help me step up my reloading game

    You may be correct. But reloading is just as much a part of the hobby for me as shooting is, and it gives me something to do during the week when I cant get to a range to shoot. However, buying a case of 200 is tempting. And doesnt cost much more than the brass itself would
