    Rifle Scopes scope advice for a .223

    Re: scope advice for a .223 The Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x with side-focus and mil-dot reticle is in your price range. Not like you need a mil/mil scope on a Remington 700 in .223. Pretty sure the twist rate is 1:12 or 1:14, so unless you have a Custom Barrel w/1:8 or faster twist, you won't...

    300 winmag minimum case neck length

    Re: 300 winmag minimum case neck length Don't trim them at all until your bolt is hard to close. Every extra bit of neck length helps with this case. I would not worry about uniforming length. Wait and determine your chamber's oal dimension and then trim only a minimum.

    Win 748

    Re: Win 748 Dillon measure meters RL-15, Varget, and other stick powders just fine. If you are super concerned about each load being right on the money at 42.5 gr; that's cool but I've seen small variances not be critical when it comes to powder charging. Most accurate performance I've ever...

    GAP-10 .308 loads

    Re: GAP-10 .308 loads Try Sierra's match loading for their 168 and/or 175gr bullet. Since you are asking for guidance, buy a Wilson Case Gauge or RCBS Precision Mic and check your brass for chamber dimension. Resize no more than .003" or even .0025" from your fired case dimension. Any...

    Rechambering a tikka varmint .308, a few questions

    Re: Rechambering a tikka varmint .308, a few questions Just for fun, you might try looking at Brownells and seeing if they stock the Tikka bolt. Just buy a new magnum bolt body and get the .308 barrel reamed, and buy a new magazine. Alter the bolt stop or buy a magnum length stop. Might...

    300 win mag vs 300 RUM

    Re: 300 win mag vs 300 RUM Might look closely at the .30-06 Ackley Improved if you want to shoot the 200gr or heavier bullets. Not a heckuva lot of gain from the AI with lighter bullet weights, but 190 and up make the extra capacity deliver close enough to the WM or WSM not to worry. I've...

    Re: sendero 300RUM,VortexPST6-24x50: What mount/rings? $100???? TPS rings are a good value; but probably if you go steel are gonna cost $80+ If you expect to shoot LongRange with your Sendero, you might not need a canted rail. Depends on elevation range of your scope and where you set your...

    Show Me/Tell me bout your Switch Barrel Rifles!!!!

    Re: Show Me/Tell me bout your Switch Barrel Rifles!!!! I've done many Rem 700s. Easy to headspace using the recoil lug width. Have shot them hand-tightened to no ill-effect. Never swapped a bolt, but would be easy to do if wanted to enable magnum plus standard ctgs. Tend to prefer the LA...

    My new gun is done. 338 Rogue pics

    Re: My new gun is done. 338 Rogue pics Not much advantage to your "improvement" that I can see. I've seen an AI'd lapua magnum, but why stay with the Weatherby rimmed case and not get a 30 or 40 deg shoulder? Think the double radius shoulder is better than the 20deg or so you wound up...

    Rifle Scopes IOR compared to Nightforce

    Re: IOR compared to Nightforce Have owned 5 IOR. Will never buy another. Have owned NXS 8-32x and 2.5-10 24mm; kept the 2.5-10x Sightron SIII is worth a strong look. Read the comments over at benchrestcentral.com; many have changed from Nightforce to Sightron.

    Gunsmithing Belted Magnum Headspacing

    Re: Belted Magnum Headspacing Redding makes .300win Type S FL and Neck dies that take their standard bushing. Redding and Wilson bushings are all .50 OD so interchange. The RCBS Precision Mic is easy to use, as mentioned above. Wilson Case Gauge is also a similar option.

    Rifle Scopes Choosing the right hunting scope

    Re: Choosing the right hunting scope Congrats on owning such a fine rifle. Hunting scope, fixed power? Pretty sure you can still get a 6x 42mm Leupold with a mil-dot reticle, or look for a Mk4 M3 6x mil-dot. Might also look at the Hunter Benchrest scopes Burris and Sightron offer...

    Fire Forming Remington .308 Winchester

    Re: Fire Forming Remington .308 Winchester Here is a recommendation... Buy a Wilson Case Gauge (if you own a dial or digital caliper that measures 6" or more), or an RCBS Precision Mic. You will Really Benefit from KNOWING what your chamber oal is. Measure an unfired virgin case and write...

    Best way to set up my new 6.5x284???

    Re: Best way to set up my new 6.5x284??? Do yourself a favor: Buy a Sierra Manual, read up on all the data contained therein for the bullet weights you want to shoot, buy some 142gr matchkings and follow the accuracy load listed. Try varying your seating depth to be off the lands and into...

    Movie Theater Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

    Re: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Smiley's People with Guinness is especially superb. Too bad they never did The Honourable Schoolboy. Gerry Westerby is his best non-recurring character.
