Copper fouling on threads of barrel
I've got a stainless barreled 300 WSM from Browning. I had it threaded, put a brake on it, waited a week, took it to the range and then put 15 rounds through it. Never took the brake off for inspection. Waited a week after storing it in its case (inside the home), removed the brake, and this is...- CBRpilot

1:10 twist with 155 gr A-Max?
Thanks guys. I can't imagine finding somewhere to varmint beyond 400 yards in the next year or two, and I only have access to a 300 yard range for practice. I want to have a 0.75 MOA load worked up for 155 A-Max and 208 A-Max, as well as a 180 grain just to have something in the middle of the...- CBRpilot

1:10 twist with 155 gr A-Max?
I'm starting my first batch of handloaded ammo this weekend with my 300 WSM. I have 178 gr A-Max, 180 gr Nosler/Barnes, 208 gr (A-Max) and 178 gr A-Max. I know the 208's will probably cause me some grief but I'm willing to work through it. Anyhow, I wanted a hot load for varminting and decided...- CBRpilot

My new 284win Borden built BR gun a MUST SEE!!
Looks great. Not my cup of tea for a paint job on a rifle, but I'm pretty traditional. That's a sick paint job either way though :) Can you explain twin threaded? New term to me.- CBRpilot

Hunting & Fishing Had a great weekend in West Texas
That's a seriously nice rig man, and some great shots. 3 at a time! :cool: If you had to estimate, how populated are the hogs on your property? The only place I have to compare to is a property near Bandera, TX. 350 acres and the owner says he's got about 3 dozen roaming his land and tearing...- CBRpilot

Barrel swap on an x-bolt?
Bummer. Based on my reading and somewhat limited time with different rifles/actions, I can say that mine is pretty damn nice. Just too much a minority to continue on with. Thanks. Looks like I'll just reload with it for a bit and get really proficient at 300 yards and sell it later on.- CBRpilot

Barrel swap on an x-bolt?
How much is involved with swapping my x-bolt hunting barrel (chambered in .300 WSM) with something more suited to LR practice? I'm desparately trying to avoid going with a new rifle build until my rifle starts to become the limiting factor, but I don't see that happening for a year or more. I've...- CBRpilot

First post - I searched first!
Murphy does make the 0, 10, and 20 MOA bases for the X-bolt. I read in a post earlier (from a couple years ago) that in order to use a picatinny mounted optic with my action, it requires cutting some of the material from the outside lugs using a dremel tool, otherwise you can't clamp to the rail...- CBRpilot

First post - I searched first!
I've browsed the forums a bit here and there over the last year as I toyed with getting into longer range shooting. I searched for a while, trying to find information for the best possible way to mount optics to my X-bolt in .300 WSM. I know it's not the most popular round, but it has good...- CBRpilot
