    REM 700 243 rechamber

    True, sort of. A 243ai max headspace is right at minimum 243win, or 243 go gage acts as a no go for 243ai. Easy enough to work around as a reloader, seat bullet in 243 long to jam rifling, then set up 243ai sizer to just bump back .001. While you are technically correct, I would wager that...

    Is factory hornady 7 PRC ammo still slow?

    I bought some horn 180eldm ammo from a member here, along with his 7prc that he just had built. Not sure on the ammo date of manufacturer, assuming he bought it after may. I cannot say how long it sit on a shelf before he bought it, though. It chronos 2870fps out of a 26" pva barrel. My...

    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    Small or large nut is determined by action, specifically barrel tenon size. If new barrel is going on this action, keep same size "nut". Ive had both shilen select match and criterion. Both shot good to great and cleaned up nice. I would go with whichever one is available in contour/tw/cal...

    Sure, a compromise is just that, a compromise. OP really didn't set much parameters of performance, just long range lightweight hunting target rifle and budget. Impact or origin with a proof carbon in a hunt26 stock would do all that easy, except budget. Without parameters, we're just tossing...

    On my 2, 1 is nitrided action and bolt and pretty sure it's had a coil clipped on fp spring. The other is cerakoted, with the og 308 bolt cerakoted and the mag bolt i bought parked. Both those bolts have unmolested fp springs and are heavier than my other 2013. I put both of those factory...

    Sounds like a rifle that does everything....remember the old racing motto: fast, cheap, or quick service.....pick 2.

    Range Report 77 smk velocity seems low

    Well, not exactly. I've got 16lbs so I haven't been looking, only thing I use it in is a 223wylde bolt gun and that barrel isn't even on the action.

    Good thing you noticed, I didnt, but I also didn't resurrect this thread.

    Range Report 77 smk velocity seems low

    H4895 is a great powder for heavy 556 loads, fast and accurate. Ramshot tac was a powder used in mk262, it's solid, handles temp changes and throws good on progressive press and uniflows.

    Range Report 77 smk velocity seems low

    I use ramshots data, they list both 223 and 5.56 loads with 77smk.

    243ai cleans it up nicely, his Smith has that reamer and he's got dies to load the parent case.

    Is that 6 comp match or 6creed? Creed would need a setback, if comp match nevermind.

    REM 700 243 rechamber

    Pretty much all this. The 243ai has the most gains of any ackley improved case. When I had a couple ackleys, fireform load shot in the .5s with 105@3080-3100 and the fireformed case would scream 105s@3300+ into bugholes. I worked up some loads for a deployed buddy in his 243 rem varm, 95tmk...

    A 2013 with nitrided bolt and body, several 6 & 6.5creed barrels. A short action mag bolt(also have a spare 308 bolt) in 6.5prc, 25" and 22" bart barrels. Something to remember, the 2008s can be updated to be almost as nice as 2013 bolt lift. Also serial number 100 and lower 2008 have a...

    Soooo, we got a few guys that need some decaf. Looking at you and fuhQ. In his defense he did say this was about 6.5creed and it was a data point, so lighten up a smidge. You are correct about a tikka thread and I apologize to OP for any derailment that I added. Hard rock, I do find it odd...

    Thought it was common knowledge that tikka 6.5creed barrels are slowpokes. I'd need to look at my notes, I did some load work for a buddys 24"6.5 ctr. I used 130normas and 6.5stabil, so it will be peppy compared to normal 140-147 loads.

    Not a bad option and the skinny ctr barrel would help with nrl weight. It's a shame the 6.5creed tikka barrels are just slow. My aforementioned 260 mastersporter would send 142smk@2844 with 44.ish gr of h4350. I kinda wonder if their creed reamer is differnet or if they just use weird land...

    Well, some alluded to multiple problems with aero, or known problems. That is an issue that most people won't have a problem with if they understand the constraints of cartridge/action length. It is a pain for your buddy, i get that.
