    ##Cooling Method for barrels##

    I keep a Thermos of ice water, a six ounce squirt bottle, bore guide, cleaning rod and patches handy. If I want to shoot a lot of rounds quickly I usually shoot 10 then squirt about 6 oz. of ice water down the bore using the bore guide, then run three dry patches down the barrel. Vary the amount...

    260 Loads Only

    If you want a load using Varget try this. 123 SMK, 41.3/Varget, Lapua brass, Fed 210M. The bullets are Boron Nitride coated so It takes about .5 gr. more powder to achieve the same velocity as with an uncoated bullet. I get 3001 fps in a 25" barrel bolt gun. The brass is on the ninth loading...

    mounting a bipod on a Seekins rail

    I was not aware that other companies made them. My main concern is whether or not the soft bedding strips on the Harris have a good contact area with the stock. In other words, is the rail itself going to interfere with the Harris fitting the stock?

    260 reamer and lapua brass

    Most likely. My loaded 260 rounds using Lapua mike .2935-.2945. Not even room for a speck of grit. Too bad because Lapua is usually so consistent that neck turning is not helpful except for the benchrest crowd. My chamber was cut using a PTG Lapua reamer that is .298. It groups great. My...

    Competitions and Rifle Cleaning

    At least for tactical shooting if not all shooting cleaning has been, now is, and probably will be forever over rated. Shoot it and enjoy it, wear it out and buy another one. I have had to clean a factory barrel several times to retain accuracy but not a good custom barrel.

    Barrel Break In - How Important is it?

    I have tried the more common shoot and clean for about 50 rounds and I have just zeroed in and shot. With the best quality barrels, and there are several, the no break in and shoot did just as well as the break in procedure. My two most accurate rifles have a Criterion prefit and a Kreiger...

    Rifle Scopes Minimum Space Between Scope & Barrel?

    If you can see daylight between the two it's OK. Don't forget the cap or cover clearance.

    Yes I have a 44mm ERGO USO on the gun now. Both scopes are 35mm. If I had either measurement, with or without the cap I can check clearance. Thanks.

    I am trying to determine if I need different rings for my new USO with 58mm T-Pal. I want to order rings before the scope gets here if I need them. Can someone give me the OD of the objective end?

    inconsistent seating depth

    All of the above is good advice. I will add one thing that I found that greatly affects seating depth, especially when using VLD style bullets and the VLD seater plug. Neck tension or more accurately for this problem is resistance to seating. Using new Lapua neck sized brass and a Hornady...
