    Re: S.A.C. Rem 700 260 build pictures I didnt like drilling holes in the stock either,but for my height I needed something to raise my eye up level and give me a good cheek plant. Strange as it may be to some I like the black and stainless together kinda an opposites thing. And yes this is my...

    Help me decide my 6.5

    Re: Help me decide my 6.5 One time I had a guy who ran dirt cars tell me that there is no replacement for displacement,the bigger the cubes the more power you can have.Sure you can do the same in a 6 cylinder but at higher RPM and a shorter engine life. So I went with a 260.

    Hunting & Fishing .44 Magnum Hog Hunting

    Re: .44 Magnum Hog Hunting 240 keith SWC over 18g SR4759 no reason to push them over 1100 fps just wasting powder on the exit hole. Ive shot plum thru some mighty big ones with a slow hard cast bullet.The JHP wont hardly expand anyways, 45 acp with a 180 cast will go thru one broadside.

    260 remington reamer

    Re: 260 remington reamer Thanks for all of the advice I still have a while to mull it over. I think Ill just dummy up a round with a 123 in it and let Garland build it to fit that. Unless someone can talk me into shooting the 140's.

    260 remington reamer

    I am getting ready to rebarrel my remington 700 to a 260, but I do not know what reamer I want to use. One gunsmith has a reamer with a .292 neck and .113 throat the other has a reamer and a seperate reamer to do the throat wherever i want it and he can do a .293 neck. I do not know for sure...

    karsten cheek piece

    I am looking at putting a cheek piece on a H.S. Precision M24 stock, I tried the lace on an buckle up ones and did not like them. Is the Karsten the best option or are others available. I want to be sure this is the best before I go to drilling holes in a $450 stock. Thanks

    quickload on a 243

    Re: quickload on a 243 Thanks for the info, I like the pressure was hoping for better velocity but the chrono will tell exactly. I dont think H 1000 is exactly the right powder for this bullet but is burns cooler and fills the case, and gives the best groups.THe % fill is a little confusing...

    Hornady A-MAX seating question

    Re: Hornady A-MAX seating question I have seated them just kissing the lands, and to about 10 thou. off. They shot well either way, this is in a rem. 700 sps v in 243.I have not shot them enough to tell about accuracy, but look like they will goup as good as a SMK.

    The perfect 6mm

    Re: The perfect 6mm Barrel and reamer are on the way. I will hopefully have a report in about 6 weeks, we have already made some brass using a 6xc die. It looks to be simple and accurate.

    Updated BIG PICTURES: 6mm Rem Sierra 95 grain SMK

    Re: 6mm Sierra 95 grain SMK standard 243 the velocity may not be exact but is a good guess.Also the lengths can vary up to .010 from base to tip or base to ogive, you might get better results by sorting them.

    Updated BIG PICTURES: 6mm Rem Sierra 95 grain SMK

    Re: 6mm Sierra 95 grain SMK I guess this is a good way to start my first post. I have shot several of these out of my Rem. 700 SPS V with a H.S Prtecision stock, and I am able to shoot a 5 shot group consistantly in the .350 range with the best 4 shot group being .238 at 100 yards. Winchester...
