    Good LR /low recoiling cartridge?

    I've been shooting my Rem 5R in 308 (175SMK and 185Hy bullets) at long range for some time, and now I would like to put together a lighter recoiling rifle,(comfortable all day shooting) that has better ballistics than my 308. It will be primarily used on target/steel and occasionally Coyotes...

    Worlds Finest Trimmer 2

    IMO, unless your case is set to be sized with .00" headspace in the chamber, or a slight crush fit, The measurement from shoulder to case mouth is MORE important than OAL. Inside the rifle's chamber, the shoulder will stop the case at a determined distance and the mouth will either have room...

    Bedding + aluminum bedding blocks??

    My Rem 5r mil spec doesn't have a v-block, just an aluminum block, right? If so, does that make it less effective, making bedding even more applicable?

    Bedding + aluminum bedding blocks??

    I appreciate your input Jr. I guess what I'm asking is: would skim coating my aluminum bedding make a "noticeable" difference in accuracy? I know "noticeable" is subjective, but in your opinion, would it improve practical accuracy enough to warrant the work? I presently shoot this rifle at...

    Bedding + aluminum bedding blocks??

    I have a fairly stock Rem 5R milspec in 308 that I'm trying to squeeze the last bit of accuracy from. I see on a few other threads people bedding recoil lugs or whathaveyou on their aluminum bedded stocks for better preformance. Is this worthwhile? Does anyone have REAL numbers (before and...

    Magnetospeed v2

    Do I need a V2 if my largest diameter barrel is .875"? Or would the V1 work just as well?

    Forster bump die flexibility?

    You are correct. I called Forster and they told me so. There are no 308 bump dies anywhere to be found, so I had to order one from Nova Scotia! God the internet is a nifty tool!

    Forster bump die flexibility?

    I've been wanting a Forster 308 bump die for some time, and it is out of stock everywhere. Could I buy a 260 or 7-08 die (that are in stock) without bushings, and use the appropriate bushings? The outer die should be to the same dimensions, correct? Thanks-

    Magnetospeed v2

    If you don't have a barrel over 1", would you just get the V1? It's basically the same thing without the adjustability, right?

    .30-06 as a precision rifle ?

    That's what I'm wondering. I like the ballistics, but it seems like it would beat on you after awhile.

    What kind of problems can I have with an HS Precision stock?

    I am about to buy one for my sporter weight Rem 700 in 222 REm, and I was wondering the same thing. So loose studs and baking above 140* is it? I can live with that!
