    R700 .223 load, 1/9 twist

    I have a Rem. 700 SPS Tac with a 20" 1:9 barrel (in a B&C stock with a Timney 510 trigger), and it shoots Hornady 75 BTHP and 68 BTHP's at 1/2 MOA. I've only shot these out to 300 yds (longest range near me), and will make nice tiny groups if I do my part. Hornady ELD 73 grainers shoot a...

    KRG Bravo for cz455 ?!

    Hoping the KRG gods also come up with a Bravo chasis for an Anschutz 1416 action.... Please...

    What scope do you have on your 22?

    Leupold 6-18 with target turrets on my Anschutz 1416 HB.

    6.5 Grendel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    I actually do have a .22. It's an Anschutz 1416D HB with the 5098 two stage trigger. A real challenge at 200 yds. (wind values similar to a .308 at 440 yds), and try hard to make tiny groups at 50 yds. You might be right, a .223 and my Anschutz might be all I need (those, and the Marlin 1895...

    6.5 Grendel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks for the replies! I am only considering a bolt gun for one of these calibers. I like the idea of a Howa 1500 mini barreled action, but would be limited in other stock options, the magazines are proprietary, etc. A 6.5 Creedmoor from Remington, Tikka, Howa, etc. would give me a lot more...

    6.5 Grendel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Most of my shooting would be 100 - 300 yds. on paper, with the occasional trip to a longer range out of town. There's one 1 1/2 hours away with a 600 yd range and one two+ hours away with a 1,200 yd range (haven't been there yet) and I don't think either of those allow steel, just paper. My...

    6.5 Grendel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Size of the gun doesn't matter as this would be a range gun only - no hiking through the woods with it. I would imagine the barrel life of the Grendel speed loads would be quite a bit better than Creedmoor speed loads. Recoil wise, I've never shot either one. My rifles range from a .223 Rem...

    6.5 Grendel in 6.5 Creedmoor

    So, I'm kind of intrigued by the 6.5 Grendel. A great little round shooting out to 300 and 600 yds., great barrel life, low recoil, easy to reload with high BC bullets, etc. Not a whole lot of choices when it comes to rifles that are chambered in it though (Savage, Howa, Ruger, CZ). The...

    TAC Powder in the 223 ??

    I use TAC in my Rem. 700 SPS Tac. My load of choice is a Hornady 75 gr. BTHP bullet over 23.0 gr. of TAC (came to that from OCW testing) and can shoot 1/2 - 1/3 MOA out at 300 yards (the longest range I have access to). I am not looking for the last bit of speed, but small groups and...

    Custom Cheek Rests?

    Joe, are you able to add an adjustable cheekpiece to a Bell & Carlson medalist stock?

    Need recommendation for very low recoil, very accurate bolt action rifle build cartridge choice to shoot 300 yards paper target

    I have a Rem. 700 SPS Tac in .223 that shoots great. It is a 20" barreled version with a 1:9 twist barrel that really likes 68 gr. and 75 gr Hornady BTHP bullets over some TAC powder. Best I've shot is a 7/8" group at 300 yds. (300 yds is the longest range I've shot so far). It will do 1"...

    .223 for informal shooting?

    I have a Rem 700 SPS Tac with a 20" 1:9 barrel and it shoots 1/2 MOA with 68 and 75 gr. Hornady BTHP match bullets. It doesn't seem to like the new Hornady 73 gr ELD rounds - shoots more of a shotgun pattern. Mine is in a B&C Medalist stock with a Timney 510 trigger and Vortex PST II scope. I...

    Remington 700 VS, VLS, SPS or Tikka Varmint (223)

    I have a Rem. 700 SPS Tac in .223 which comes with a 1:9 twist 20" barrel. I put it in a B&C stock and added a Timney 510 trigger and it shoots Hornady 68 gr. and 75 gr. BTHP's to 0.5MOA out to 300 yds. (furthest range I've shot at). I'm happy with mine. You certainly can't go wrong with the...

    What progressive press ?

    Dillon Square Deal B for pistol calibers. Still use a single stage (Lee Classic Cast) for reloading my .223 for precision stuff.

    223 Hornady 75gr ELD Match: better than 175 SMK 308?!

    I have a Rem 700 SPS Tac with a 20" 1:9 twist barrel in a B&C stock and my most accurate loads (factory Hornady or my handloads using TAC powder) are with Hornady 68 gr. and 75 gr. BTHP bullets at 100, 200 and 300 yards (furthest I've shot it). I tried the factory 73 gr. ELD's and it didn't...

    Good gear for a beginner?

    I have been reloading precision rifle rounds for only two years now. I chose a Lee Classic Cast single stage press (with Forster dies). Like some others have said, there are so many off and on press operations that take place loading bottle necked rifle rounds that a single stage isn't crazy...

    Bolt Lube?

    Lubriplate grease on the lugs and camming surface. Lubriplate oil on the rest.

    Any tools for dry firing rimfire.

    I too use the yellow drywall anchors. Use them in my Anschutz 1416HB and my Ruger 22/45. Fit's all the magazines and can be rotated to use all parts of the "rim" of the anchor to get max use out of each one (does that mean I'm cheap...maybe...). Got mine at Lowe's.

    Stabilizing 69gr .223 in 1:9 twist barrel

    My 1:9 twist Remington 700 will stabilize 68 gr. and 75 gr. Hornady Match bullets out to 300 yards (both factory [Hornady and Black Hills] and handloads). Between the 68 and 75 grainers, I notice no difference in group size (1/4" - 1/2" MOA groups). I recently tried the new Hornady 73 gr. ELD...

    Base to shoulder length

    Thanks for the responses! No, the primers are not removed. I measured a dozen cases when I got back from the range Sunday to set up for reloading, but didn't deprime. I will deprime and remeasure tonight. Either way, you confirmed my suspicion that I should bump back from the longest cases...
