    Help Needed - The Curse of the "Free" Gun continues- Stiller Vs Defiance & other 700 action clones

    After further research and trying to avoid a long lead times I have found the Kelby Nanook's in stock with the 75* LA Mag bolt face well under MSRP. For the price after the research I have done "I believe" the Kelby Nanook to likely be a better action than the Defiance Ruckus GA Hunter. If...

    Help Needed - The Curse of the "Free" Gun continues- Stiller Vs Defiance & other 700 action clones

    Thank you Hawk- I do plan to repurpose the this action that I will be replacing. I understand that my rifle is heavy for hunting at just under 12.5LBS with all the accessories, but I have come to terms with that. A lighter bipod and bag rider etc can shed over 1.5 LBS. More regularly this gun...

    7X300WM- Heavy Bolt Lift only on Fire Formed - Need to Neck Turn?

    I found out that the neck on my reamer was .3185 in the neck so my fired brass has less then .001" clearance which explains what I was experiencing. I have ball-mic'd my brass and will take additional measurements before setting my neck turning device when my 7MM mandrel arrives tomorrow. I...

    7X300WM- Heavy Bolt Lift only on Fire Formed - Need to Neck Turn?

    Thank you- I was thinking the same thing on requesting a reamer print. The shoulder was bumped .004 the first time (accident with new dies on an unfamiliar press as I went to Forster Coax). Second time was right at .002 bump which was the ammo that I described shooting on my most recent range trip.

    7X300WM- Heavy Bolt Lift only on Fire Formed - Need to Neck Turn?

    Here is the gun for those who are curious- Believe it or not this is still actually still under 12LBS With a Heavy Palma Contour (Without the Bipod) but with the base scope(scope caps) and rings, Bag Rider, forward pic rail, etc). 12LBS is not for competition needs or anything- That was just my...

    7X300WM- Heavy Bolt Lift only on Fire Formed - Need to Neck Turn?

    Hello all, I have been in the process of researching a build for a new long range hunting rifle for a long time now and after too much contemplation I finally "pulled the trigger". It is a Remington 700 Action that I had a Bartlen 1:8 twist barrel chambered in 7MMX300 Win Mag. The barrel is...

    Thanks again all, my sacraficial once fired Horandy brass was a rocky start. But then the Lapua 3x fired (True 300 win) brass that is factory annealed worked well. Now I have done a few pieces of the Lapua Virgin Brass which is factory annealed as well. I feel like it is going really well so...

    Thank you all- My dies just arrived- REDDING 7MM/300 WINCHESTER MAG DELUXE DIE SET CUSTOM, #6 - It does not appear to be a bushing die so I was thinking I would try a few pieces of "sacrificial brass" through the seating die and then the Resizing die. Any big concerns before I try this? I still...

I have shot several animals at long range and steel out to a 1,000 yards- But I wouldn't say I was ever truly serious about it until now. I am diving in head first on my first true quality build. Its is a Remington...
