    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Does anybody have any insight into the 30.06 FGMM load (for the Garand)? I'd be happy to run a test with my match Garand if you guys have an educated guess as to where to start.

    Fantastic picture, knockemdown. And that rifle looks pretty sweet as well.

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    I hope my earlier posts about the challenges I've had adapting this kit to my HS stock hasn't discouraged anyone from buying this DBM kit. It really is a fantastic value--and now, looking back, the problems and obstacles to getting my rifle to feed (and the tools to employ to create my...

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    Sir-- No worries, I'll send you my stock when I save up enough scratch go with a true M5 DBM. For now I've just been trying to suss out a way for a guy on a tight budget (like me, for example lol) with paltry $150 budget and simple hand tools to get himself into a good DBM setup...

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    Nicely done. You did a more elegant job relieving the back of the bottom metal than I did--and let's just leave it at that (lol). I ground down the aluminum pillars to flush or maybe a bit below--and I'm within striking distance of 100% function. The rifle feeds nicely if I apply firm...

    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Mr. Newberry-- Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise. I never would have thought of using IMR 4064 without this thread. I threw together 4 sets of 5 cartridges, based on your recommedations. Target was at 200 yards. Baseline FGMM 175 grain: Start load, 41.7 grains...

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    Hopefully I won't have to do any milling to my reciever--but I seem to have good clearance in the rear. Just out of curiosity--did you relieve the bedding block front of the mag well, to center your action screws? I noticed that the easiest/first-fit of the bottom metal had...

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    The rifle I'm working on is a Remington 700P in an HS Precision stock. I haven't yet committed to any irreversible mods to the stock or to the receiver, apart from working the inletting to accept the DBM. Fitting the bottom metal so that it seats in the stock is actually fairly easy. The...

    Don't they shoot 600 at Fort Devens?

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    I'll have an oppotunity to get into the feeding issue over the next couple days, and I'll take a good look at the pillars--thanks for that lead. I was actually inspecting the feed geometry a little bit earlier tonight. My bottom metal is angled downward at the front ever so slightly, and it...

    Rifle Scopes Does Your SWFA SS 10X42 Resolve .30 Cal Holes at 200 Yards?

    Amazon.com: Sightmark Triple Duty 8.5-25x50 Riflescope: Sports & Outdoors I absolutely agree--I bought the scope for reliability, not fine optical resolution, I just wanted to make sure that this one particular unit wasn't (perhaps) under-performing. I have been using this cheap scope as...

    208 AMAX in 300 weatherby

    Would you mind sharing what Quickload lists as a MAX for H4350 and RL-25? Also--I have read threads where other people have gotten good results out of IMR4350 with the 208gr AMAX--and I noted it was in a Weatherby rifle as well. I wonder if the Weatherby "freebore" somehow contributed to...

    Rifle Scopes Does Your SWFA SS 10X42 Resolve .30 Cal Holes at 200 Yards?

    OK--interesting. For the purposes of the conversation let's just assume 20/20 vision behind the glass, itself and no major mirage in play.

    Rifle Scopes Does Your SWFA SS 10X42 Resolve .30 Cal Holes at 200 Yards?

    There may well have been some mirage at play on this particular day. I may just head back to the range this afternoon and have another look.

    Rifle Scopes Does Your SWFA SS 10X42 Resolve .30 Cal Holes at 200 Yards?

    Thank you for your reply as well--and again, for the sake of clarity--are you speaking from a specific knowlege of this specific scope, or are you referring to budget/cheapo 10X scopes in general?

    Rifle Scopes Does Your SWFA SS 10X42 Resolve .30 Cal Holes at 200 Yards?

    Thank you for your reply. Just for the sake of clarity, and just so we're all on the same page--would you please confirm that you personally own, have used, and/or are referring specifically to the SS 10X42 (non-HD glass?

    208 AMAX in 300 weatherby

    I posted this to AR15.com: .300 Weatherby Mag and 208 Gr. AMAX --Any advice? (Updated again) - AR15.COM I was working with a Weatherby rifle and Weatherby once-fired factory brass. Cliff notes from AR15.com Thread: I never heard back from Hornady about a START load for the...

    Rifle Scopes Does Your SWFA SS 10X42 Resolve .30 Cal Holes at 200 Yards?

    I had a 10X42 out at the range the other day. It was a VERY impressive scope for the price. I was particularly struck by the brightness and sharpness and contrast of the glass, and the MIL-Quad reticle seemed very good for longer-range shooting--but one thing that struck me as odd (especially...

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    I purchased the BDL package deal with Stealth profile and the mag a couple weeks back. It wasn't a "drop in" fit--I had to spend a pleasant hour or so with a flatbar and some 60 grit sandpaper tweaking the inletting--but personally I am very grateful that PT&G made such awesome bottom metal...
