    New 260 Rem from AKA Spook

    Re: New 260 Rem from AKA Spook Thanks much, I also had the problem of the mag not high enough to feed the rounds correctly so I spoke to Jeff about it. Then he informed me that there are two holes in the latch so I moved it the latch higher up. Even with the mag higher, it was still not high...

    Gunsmithing Did u know - Howa 1500

    Re: Did u know - Howa 1500 I got a CDI DBM and I'm sure I'll be happy with it. The Weatherby DBM has been on sale on Midway but being polymer I didn't want to take a chance. Now I hope USPS didn't "accidentally" lose my inletted stock and CDI DBM coming back from Jeff at CDI... They...

    Gunsmithing uestion for bedding and Duracoat

    Re: uestion for bedding and Duracoat Yes. Duracoat can be applied thick so best to paint first, bed later. This what I did to mine. Oh and make sure the metal is prepped well and that you let the finish cure for a week, if not the full curing time suggested for Duracoat, before you bed, or...

    Electronic Ears

    Re: Electronic Ears Got a chance to try my new Howard Leight Impact Sport yesterday at an outdoor range with canopy. This pair worked as advertised. With the earmuff turned off, I could barely hear anything, but turn it on a bit and I can hear conversations very clearly, but as soon as shots...

    Finally shot my new Howa .308 today...

    Re: Finally shot my new Howa .308 today... This rifle is about 16 lbs. loaded, with the brake I have installed the recoil is not an issue at all. A friend of mine has a Howa in .308 and laminated stock without brake, and the recoil is brisk but not punishing. Your experience may vary. The...

    Finally shot my new Howa .308 today...

    Re: Finally shot my new Howa .308 today... It was brought to my attention from a reliable source that the distance to target I shot may have been 88 yards instead of 100 yards based from a previous measurement with a laser range finder, instead of what was noted from the range's layout...

    As the title says, finally got to shoot my new Howa today at Angeles Shooting Ranch in So. Cal today. It was an overcast day with the sun peeking through at times. Almost no wind, 60 - 65F temperature. I am encouraged by the results and believe this rifle has potential as long as I do my part...

    Electronic Ears

    Re: Electronic Ears Just bought me a pair of the Howard Leight Impact Sport to try, $43.99 Dealer price at Midway so I figured why not try it?! Although I wouldn't mind getting the MSAs, and if I escalate the number of shooting outings dramatically this year I will consider going to them...

    .308 loading problem

    Re: .308 loading problem I had another 150 pieces of Black hills brass so I decided to size these brass to see what would happen, then I discovered what the problem was. I had setup the die just touching the ram, but this time, I looked at the brass when operating the press, and found that...

    .308 loading problem

    Re: .308 loading problem Thanks guys. I didn't load my rounds touching the lands this time, actually loaded them with a jump (based on Ogive length) since this is a new rifle with 0 rounds down the barrel and I didn't want to take too much of a chance. I adjusted the FL sizing die a little...

    .308 loading problem

    Re: .308 loading problem Found some threads and sticky on bumping the shoulder, will attempt to do that today. If the bolt closes with some firm resistance but still closes, will there be a safety issue when firing? I'm asking because the cartridges have already been loaded and unless I can...

    .308 loading problem

    Re: .308 loading problem Thanks! wouldn't the shoulder be bumped back into spec when it is full length sized? Or do I have to set up the sizing die a little lower to make sure that happens? would this resistance create a pressure problem when firing?

    Hello all, I was loading some .308 rounds using new Winchester brass, and once fired mixed stamp brass today. After everything was finished, I chambered a few rounds just to check function (loading rounds for the first time for my new Howa .308). When I chambered the rounds, the cartridge goes...
