    Barrel vice and action wrench kit?

    I just ordered an origin action and prefit barrel. I guess I need a wrench and a vice. Anybody make a decent kit they won’t break the bank for an occasional barrel swap.

    anyone bought a Zermätt Origin Action lately

    Am looking at A new budget short action and like the looks of the Origin action. What is the quality of these? Will I need to have a bunch of work done to it before I have a barrel put on it to be a shooter? Planning on using a Proof CF in 7mm SAW

    7mm SAW vs 7mm-08 Improved

    I definitely agree with that analogy there’s not a gnats ass difference.

    7mm SAW vs 7mm-08 Improved

    Well, I noticed the original 708 has a 20° shoulder. The Saul has a 30 and the improved version has a 40° shoulder. That’s all I know as far as the difference between a 243 and a 6.5 I don’t know that that’s a very good analogy because there’s a hell of a lot of difference in 24 and 26 caliber.

    7mm SAW vs 7mm-08 Improved

    So other than a 30 degree shoulder or the 40 degree shoulder whats the difference? I cant find any good drawings on the SAW to compare. I love a 7mm-08 and want to build a new one in SAW or Improved configuration but need some input from people that have messed with them before I pull the...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I shot it again yesterday and it was almost identical but while I was there, I had some loaded with H 4350 started at 37 grains because my chambers tight and ran all the way to 40 gr and in half gr increments. I was getting close on pressure at 40 grains, but it did throw a group of three at...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’ve been using it for a couple of years and I’ve never seen this. Either only thing I can think of is, I opened a new bottle, but the lot was the same. Maybe I did something that I didn’t know that I did but that’s pretty rough to deal with 75 feet a second when it’s already slow at 2525 of...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    Nothing changed same brass I had 200 ready to go. They were all once fired all of them full length sized then neck sized with Redding bushing dies. all of ultrasonic cleaned then corn cob, same primer, same bullet same seating depth to my knowledge they were identical, but they were dang sure...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’m shooting it in a short barrel 6.5 Creedmoor and I was getting 2525 back during the summer and I shot it this afternoon and it shot 2450. The SD is right where it always was. It just slowed way down.

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’m not sure why but I was under the impression that reloader 16 was temp stable. I’m shooting it in a 6.5 Creedmoor and I lost 75 FPS from 100°F to 55°F today. I know that even the temp stable powders lose a little bit, but in my opinion, that’s pretty drastic what say ye sniper hide?

    Replicate Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain BTHP

    I too am looking for what powder is in this ammo. I pulled a few of the bullets to weigh the powder and every one of em is 41.5gr. It looks like H4350 or RL16 but not exactly, its a little lighter in color (not much) but it is close. 4451 & IMR 4530 are very dark in color compared to this...

    Updated advice on optics at or under $1500

    I don’t have a scope that has hash marks or anything in it. Everything I own except the one that I ordered yesterday has just a simple cross hair so that wisenheimer that was busting my chops over a ruler was just a troll. He doesn’t even know what I have. the one with the “ Marks” hasn’t even...

    Yes that is what should show up in a few days. It will be the only scope I have like that. I’m looking forward to learning to use it. Lots to learn for me.

    You’re the kind of guy that gives asshole trolls a good name. You’re not even part of the discussion and the best part about this site is you can block members that are jerkoffs like you. Too bad you’re not as smart as you think you are because there’s not a ruler inside of my scope. It only has...

    What’s the art behind hunting rifle accuracy

    In reply to the original post. I stopped shooting those cigarette barrel rifles and magnum calibers. I had a 28 Nosler with a cigarette barrel and it was worthless after the second or third shot like you’re talking about the recoil was horrendous. I sold that gun to some guy going on a bear hunt...
