    243 Win & 107 SMK with a 26" 1/9 bbl?

    Re: 243 Win & 107 SMK with a 26" 1/9 bbl? DezHk, I have not been able to try the 105 A-Max yet. I was using a OAL of 2.710 with the 107 SMK and Winchester primers. I have not yet begun to play with seating depth. At 44.2 and 44.5 grains the bolt lift was getting sticky. I was shooting...

    Re: 243 Win & 107 SMK with a 26" 1/9 bbl? DezHk, I finally got the Rem 700, 26" 1/9 twist bbl to the range today. No problems stabilizing the SMK 107 gr projectiles. With RL 22 and a COAL of 2.710 I started at 42.5 grains and worked up to 44 gr. No keyholing, even at 42.5 gr. I had...

    AICS Stocks?

    Re: AICS Stocks? I just shot a custom 338LM in an AICS 2.0 last week and it was very nice. I didn't think I would like the thumbhole but, it was really comfortable. I liked it so much I purchased a AICS 2.0 SA for my 243 build yesterday from Adam at Bauer Arms. Great people to deal with...

    APA Surgeon 7WSM w/Seekins WSM DBM, *Range Report*

    Re: APA Surgeon 7WSM w/Seekins WSM DBM...DONE!!! Were you out with Randall and the guys at Angeles? Will the staff let you all run out to 200 to print on paper while the range is open to the public? Very nice build. I am gearing up to do a 7mm SAUM build.

    Reloading for .338 Lapua

    Re: Reloading for .338 Lapua I use the standard Redding 3 die set. Lapua brass, Federal 215 GM, 90gr VV N170 and 300gr SMK. I have shot many sub-MOA groups at 1000 yards with this combo. The rifle is a stock AR 30. You will not be sorry doing a build in 338 LM. Its a real hoot!

    Re: 243 Win & 107 SMK with a 26" 1/9 bbl? DezHK, thanks for the input. Yeah, Rem lists the bbl as 9 1/8 twist. I have read that a lot of guys are using RL 25. I have some N170 I could try. This is the only data I could find for RL 22. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div...

    243 noob here. I am working up some loads for a new Rem 700 in .243 Win, with a 26" 1/9 twist barrel. I'm using 107gr SMK and Reloder 22. I started at 42gr and worked up to 44 gr in three grain increments. Anybody have any experience with this projectile and barrel length/twist? I figure...
