New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
I'd say he's fine starting there not that I would do it but in retrospect each and every rifle I have ever owned I have handloaded for. Each and every rifle tested with loads that were worked up over maximum published charge and every rifle never showed pressure or any other un-safe sign until...
Mine was stiff so I kept pushing...turns out it doesn't go in the PRI fsb much. I finally got a piece of wire and a bore light to make sure it was aligned. Can you get the pin in?
My B&C stock has a channel cut for an oversized recoil lug. The canted recoil lug fit loosely in the B C channel and the misalignment of the recoil lug pressed into the bottom of the channel. Groups went to shit. Starightened the recoil lug and bedded the action and now its good to go. Its easy...
It might be the recoil lug. Here's a picture of a severely misaligned recoil lug on a brand new Remington 700. It fit ok in the original stock and shot well:
It was entertaining but it didn't motivate me as much as the 1st one did. I saw the first one when it was new and we hated Russians back then. I will say I feel better being prepared for N Koreans than zombies
I've been buying various blems for over 10 years and the only thing I have ever seen 'wrong' with them is some have been discolored. I have also seen various non blemished 1st run projectiles from different manufacturers with just as much discoloration. One thing is certain...my group sizes...
My favorite LGS has started gouging also...really annoys me. 1 50ct box of 77g SMK in .224 was marked $24.95 ten bucks higher than they were last year. I just patiently wait for midway to get stuff in.
Thanks for offering to pick them up for us its a very kind gesture
If you have experience with a tap wrench and tapping holes(the one you put metal scews in) chambering is just as simple...no need for a lathe. I have also seen a pull through reamer designed for M14's used on a 700
did you load these from the magazine or jst lay them atop the follower and close the bolt?
Scrapes on the projectile are normal when loading from the magazine
