    R700 Long Range (84164) Modifications

    I have a Remington 700 Long Range in 300 WinMag that I want to turn into a budget precision rifle. I will leave the barreled action alone. The barrel has a 26" varmint profile w/ a 1:10 twist. It has a B&C M40 stock on it which I built up the pistol grip on (w/ Devcon) so simulate the grip on...

    Looking for other Remington 700 owners

    Quoted for truth. There are a ton of 1/4 moa all day long rifle out there based on the best three round groups the rifle/shooter ever made. If you shout 5 groups of 5 and the average of all the groups is .75 moa - you got a GREAT rifle & shooter.

    Shoot 0.005" Jam Loads or seat Bullet Deeper?

    Good to hear. That's kind of what I figured, but wanted a reality check. So, w/ these loads if I increase bullet jump, the pressure should drop. Does the velocity decrease as well w/ bullet jump?

    Shoot 0.005" Jam Loads or seat Bullet Deeper?

    A while back I loaded up for my Remington 700 300 WinMag. I loaded 212 ELD-X bullets with various H1000 charges. Trying to break in the rifle while doing a ladder. Yes I know this is a compromise, but want to play around with my LabRadar as well. Anyway, I seated the bullets by feel...

    Suppressors Optimal length for 300 BLK

    And that is the difference - you want a pistol and I want a precision rifle. And no, i don't have specific data for each inch of barrel length and it's affect on velocity with supers. In general, longer means faster. 300 blk was designed to be efficient out of short barrels, so it's a game of...

    Suppressors Optimal length for 300 BLK

    Yes, some people need pictures... Same concept as what I am talking about except I will attach the shroud to the barrel, not the upper. I don't want a dedicated upper as the host is a Sig MPX. I do not want to give up the interchangeable barrel capability. In addition, I have to believe that...

    Suppressors Optimal length for 300 BLK

    Yes, a permanent shroud that the suppressor would fit inside of, thus the suppressor would fit inside the shroud and thus not add to the length. With a 9" barrel and 7" shroud length the overall length would meet the 16" requirement w/ or without the suppressor. With a 9" suppressor, 2" would...

    Suppressors Optimal length for 300 BLK

    So you can shoot your pistol (without a stock to keep it legal) as accurately as a rifle? How much more velocity would a 16" barrel have over a shorter barrel (9" or 11") especially w/ the heavier (higher BC) bullets? The reason I want to shorten the barrel is that I plan on shooting mostly...

    Suppressors Optimal length for 300 BLK

    I will be cutting down my 16” barrel on my 300BLK Sig MPX and permanently installing a shroud to keep the ‘barrel length’ over 16 inches. I will be shooing mostly suppressed & mostly subsonic. I will however shoot some supersonic, where I will want maximum energy/velocity. I will shoot...

    Cleaning Rifle After Shooting?

    When I finish shooting I normally push down a patch wetted w/ powder solvent followed by a dry patch followed by a patch wetted w/ Kroil. Is this good enough or should I fully clean the barrel after a shooting session. BTW, I typically shoot 20 to 30 rounds per session. Also, how many rounds...

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    We understand each other. Most of the practice on my shooting skills will be on my 308 or even 223. The practice w/ the 300WM will be to get very comfortable w/ that rifle. I am thinking that I can get allot of good practice w/ a mild/medium load (212 gr. @ 2700 or so) and get enough...

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    So, the purpose of my rifle is a combination hunting/long range rifle. I do not think that I will use it for competition because even my 308 heats up more than I like when shooting F-class. I want to shoot it enough where I am VERY comfortable w/ THAT specific rifle. I will have my...

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    Is there a correlation between how fast a powder and how hot it is? How would Retumbo compare to H-1000?

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    I already have a 308. Maybe I should ask the question a slightly different way. How far should I reduce loads to optimize barrel life in a 300WM & what is the potential barrel life with these reduced loads?

    300WM - Barrel Life w/ Reduced Loads

    The 300WM suffers from short barrel life. How much could the life be improved by going to significantly reduced loads? For instance, a 208gr. @ 2600fps or a 178gr. @ 2800fps would put it closer to a 308 load than a 300WM. I understand that it would not be an efficient load - looking at...

    Travelling thru Illinois w/ guns

    I thought about that but two concerns w/ that. First of all, I am constrained by commercial driving hours of duty. Including fuel stops, weigh station stops, etc. I can drive for 10.5 hours in one day. From where I am leaving, if I go up I-74 Davenport is 704 miles. If I do not make it, I...
