    Gunsmithing 7wsm throat length?

    Re: 7wsm throat length? My 7wsm has .290 free bore which seats the 180s out just about as far a you'd want to go while still having decent neck tension. You can do this as long as your project is based on a long action. If you're using a short action and plan on making it a repeater...

    Gunsmithing adjusting a rifle basix rem 700

    Re: adjusting a rifle basix rem 700 rwest, I'm striking out here. I have instructions for other triggers, just not one for Riflebasix. Sear engagement, pull weight and over travel... It's not hard but must be done so it's safe. If you're unsure it would be worth the 50 bones to have a...

    advise on new < $1,500 build for paper to 1,000yd

    Re: advise on new < $1,500 build for paper to 1,000yd The 7mm WSM is good round, but is high pressure (60K psi) and known to be hard on throats. It's not a show stopper for everyone but something to be aware of especially if you do start to compete in local matches. I think the 284 or 284AI...

    243 win. with 105gr loads?

    Re: 243 win. with 105gr loads? Yes, Retumbo ends up being a compressed load. I shot 105's for years and settled on 46.5 gr of H-1000, 2.922 COL. It was right at 2953 fps and very low E. There were zero pressure signs from this load in my last barrel but it is considered a hot load, start...

    Heavy Bullets in 22-250

    Re: Heavy Bullets in 22-250 There is some good reading on this over at 6mmbr.com. In a nut shell the 22-250 and heavy bullets belong in a long barrel to take advantage of the powder capacity. You need slower powder to push the heavies and a short barrel negates the abilities of the...

    Rifle Scopes best scope new/used for under $600

    Re: best scope new/used for under $600 keep your eyes out for a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24X50. You can find them used for 500 to 600 bucks. Those who shoot a 308 sometimes complain about the last of internal travel but that won't be an issue for you since you're putting it on a 300WSM. You...

    McMillan A-3 Sporter

    I was in Phoenix last week with a free afternoon, so I called McMillan and asked if I could get a tour of their facility and check on the progress of a stock I have ordered; they said come on in. While waiting for Lynn to free up I handled the stocks on the wall and saw a hunting stock I had...

    Re: Do black barrels cool faster? Damn romer, Schooling on your first post... Thanks! I always like to see a scientific mind applied to what it is we do and you presented it very well. My thing is TXRF but material science is a close second. Cheers (raising my G&T). TAC

    Re: Wichester M70 caliber conversion Advice is hard to give when information keeps coming in... I don't think rbh1800 was giving you bad advice but he also didn't know what other rifles were in your safe. My advice it to sell it and start from scratch buying a custom action If you're...

    Gunsmithing 243 ackley imp question

    Re: 243 ackley imp question My 243AI has a ~1-10" and just doesn't like the 105s (and here I have 500 of them). .6-sh is all I could get and even that was unreliable. Nosler 95s are what it likes to eat even though the BC is less than desirable, it shoots very reliably out to 800 - Every...
