    Mag Release Fitting

    I needed to shorten the catch release to use a WSM magazine in an MDT Timbr chassis/stock. I filed the catch down until the magazine locked in and would not come out pulling on the mag. It now drops free on recoil. I replaced the spring. Same problem. Is the catch too short or too long...

    KRG Bravo vs MDT Oryx

    I have both. Both are good quality, value for money options. Between the two I see no material difference in weight, adjustability, feeding or quality. If I could only keep one, it would be the Oryx for no reason other than personal preference. For me, the Bravo is a poor imitation of...

    Quickload Not Displaying

    Fixed! Thank you very much. I was looking for QuickLOAD.

    Quickload Not Displaying

    QuickLOAD does not appear in Task Manager unless it's one of the Google Chrome windows running. When I click return after the small box appears, it disappears. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

    Quickload Not Displaying

    I have been running QuickLOAD successfully for many years. Just today, I got a small white box saying QuickLOAD is already running. I cannot get it to display the usual data input page. I would appreciate someone checking if this is a general problem or unique to me. Thanks for the help.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    There may be some confusion here. I did have to file down the magazine catch release for the 300 WSM Accurate magazine to fit an MDT chassis. The problem was the catch release needed to be shorter, not longer.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    For me, the Accurate 300 WSM AICS mag is working fine in an original design CDG short action in 7 SAUM. It's a bit hard to load the magazine, but that's my only complaint. The Hawkins Hunter will not work with the original long action CDG, but it will work with the newer, lighter action with...

    Lightweight, heavy cal hunting rifle thoughts?

    The problem with the big magnums in light stocks is they exploit every weakness in your marksmanship technique even with a can or a brake. Far better to choose the right tool for the job. I’m not sure what the job is, but 338 NM is probably not the right answer. Having said all that, I...

    Ok, so really - ES/SD with Hornady brass?

    This. SD was cut in half when I sized, trimmed, and weight sorted. Weight does not correlate perfectly with volume, but it’s good enough. Better brass is a better solution, but weight sorting Hornady is a close second.

    6.5 CM at One Mile

    6200 feet. Assumed standard atmospheric pressure. 66.5 MOA Not disclosing velocity. Safe but high pressure. I have since backed this load down.

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    I’m saying it’s a well known problem with a few triggers which came to light around two years ago. Fewer reports more recently.

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    It’s the trigger. Well known problem from two years ago. Call Trigger Tech and they will send a replacement as soon as you ship yours to them.

    7 SAUM Velocity Check

    QuickLOAD was indicating maximum pressure and 2926 fps at 61.7 grains of Magpro. Actual velocity of that load was 250 fps slower. I have tested up to 66 grains without pressure signs and velocity within Barnes data with a 175 grain bullet. This tells me something may be seriously wrong with the...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    No long action yet. They tell me they are going to see how the barrels for short action sell before adding long action. No bonus points for guessing who is waiting for a barrel for a long action. Great barrels at a great price.

    7 SAUM Velocity Check

    ADG Ramshot Hunter solved my problem. It worked well in a 300 WSM. I thought it might work in the 7 SAUM. It did. Something was seriously off with Magpro in QuickLOAD.

    7 SAUM Velocity Check

    My experience as well. I will try N565 after Hunter.

    7 SAUM Velocity Check

    My go to powder for 7 SAUM has been Reloder 26. Time to find an alternative. MagPro looked to be a good, available option for the Barnes 168 LRX. Barnes does not provide load data for the 168 but published 63 to 68 grains for the 175 LRX. QuickLoad has the 168 gr bullet and shows maximum...

    Sudden accuracy issues

    Hmmmmmm You shot better groups in winter than now in summer I would back off your charge weight in .3 grain increments and see if that gets your mojo back. All other suggestions are good, but I suspect you had unrealistic expectations based on your first group that may have been a...

    AXMC Accuracy Troubleshooting

    You should retest your load. Powder burn rates can vary by as much as 10% from lot to lot.
