    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a suppressor host.

    STI DVC TACTICAL. Unfortunately they discontinued them but you should be able to get one if you look hard enough. Xtreme weapons on Houston is getting some this month as they placed a special order. Nothing comes close IMO.

    New Accuracy International AXMC 300 Norma high pressure problems

    I just use Eliminator. I haven't ever really tried a bunch of different cleaners. I just clean when I'm bored or if accuracy falls off. My 300 Norma probably only has about 200 rounds on it. My match guns (6.5x47L, 260Rem back in the day, 6Creedmoor) I run several hundred rounds between...

    New Accuracy International AXMC 300 Norma high pressure problems

    Sweets strips copper but I dont think it removes carbon. I use Boretech Eliminator. It strips both. Get a carbon remover and clean it well. Pic 3 shows the place a carbon ring would be the best and it looks black to me.

    6.5 Saum vs 7 Saum

    I think you could get 2900 to 2930 fps in a 22". I have both calibers, 6.5 and 7SAUM, and I'd go 7 all day for what you described. I get 3045 with Berger 180 VLD's in a 26" 9 twist with a compressed load of H1000.

    Building my first prs rifle.

    A5 or an MPA with a 26" heavy palma barrel will be under your requirement.

    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    If it's new brass you shouldn't have to size it. If it was fired then if you bump the shoulder to the dimension listed in a reloading manual then it should chamber in any rifle you put it in.

    New Accuracy International AXMC 300 Norma high pressure problems

    Man I know water on cases from rain can have a huge impact on pressure and cause issues exactly like you described. To me you are describing a carbon ring or a dirty / residue filled chamber. Clean the hall out of the entire barrel, chamber and all. Then make sure to get everything out and go...

    New Accuracy International AXMC 300 Norma high pressure problems

    Any chance you cleaned the rifle and left some product (oil / cleaner) in the chamber?

    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    I would just start with new brass and go from there. Factory ammo would work.

    Hand Loading for Precision Rifle (Pic Heavy)

    This article was written in order to help you load ammo to book spec. Meaning consulting a loading manual and loading your bullet of choice to the OAL that is spec'd in the reloading manual for that bullet. As I stated in the opening paragraph it was not intended for "load development" which is...

    I won a free Proof carbon barrel that I'm unsure of what to do with...

    I've seen free stainless certs and 50% off carbon certs but never a free carbon cert. I sure hope you do have a free carbon cert and if you do then 7mm or 30cal hunter. Possibly 6.5 if not hunting game bigger than deer.

    Before you build a trendy Dasher, 6BRA, 6.5 PRC.... the PRS finale was just won with a 6 creedmoor

    Last year it was won with a 6.5x47. It's more Indian than arrow.

    6mm Creedmoor barrel advice

    Shoot it until the accuracy or velocity fall off past where you are comfortable with. Then have a competent gunsmith who is familiar with that brand rebarrel it for you. It really that simple. If the factory can do it for $500 then you'd be very hard pressed to beat that price.

    Cleaning regime for magnums

    Well PROOF makes stainless "regular" barrel blanks in addition to their carbon wrapped ones. I've heard that sometimes the carbon barrels may not hold accuracy on longer strings of fire when they heat up. Magnums may heat up quicker so I would not shoot more than 3 before I let it cool. If you...

    Cleaning regime for magnums

    Is it a carbon fiber barrel?

    Action to build a 300NM on?

    The XL is an EXTREMELY strong and beefy action. I have a 300 Norma and a 338 Lapua built on them and I couldn't be happier.
