    Quality AR10 .308 Magazines

    I have 12 Gen 3 Pmags for my 308 and 6.5cm rifles. I had one issue with a new 25 round magazine not feeding properly. Other than that I have had very good luck with them.

    New Build 300 PRC What Chassis

    300 prc is a very long cartridge. I ended up using Accurate/MDT 300wm CIP 3.850" magazines and they worked fine. Had to mill out the front of the mag well in the chassis .125" to take the longer magazines. The top bullet in the magazine is a 300wm and the lower one is a 300 prc.

    New Tikka T3x - Bolt Issue

    Loosen both chassis screws a half a turn and try it. Front chassis screw might be a hair too long and hitting the bolt.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    I use a 10 twist barrel. I can shoot a 4" group at 1k with Hornady Factory Ammo. 300prc 225gr ELD Match ammo. I tried a 8 twist barrel and the group opened up to 2'. Yes feet. I'm using a Criterion Remage varmint profile 26" barrel that I purchase from North Land Shooter Supply for $300.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    The PRC cartridges give you a big push on recoil not a really sharp jolt like a 300wm. I really enjoy shooting them. I have tried 24" barrels but if you are serious about shooting 1k yds and don't want to waste ammo you need a 26" barrel. Any 4 port brake is fine. I use "Muzzle Brakes and More"...

    hard bolt lift after rifle starts to get warm

    Check the headspace. Then touch it up with a good known reamer.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    I have 6.5prc, 300prc and 300wm. The 300prc would be my first choice but because the 300wm brass is easier to find now that would be the way I would go. You could always rechamber the 300wm to a 300prc later by setting it back .175". All three do an excellent job out to 1000yds.

    Grease the bolt

    I have been using a 50/50 mix of light gun oil and STP additive (automotive engine oil). I have been using it for over 50 years. I first started using it on 1911 pistol slides and frame rails in competition in Alaska. I put equal parts in an eye dropper bottle and it will last several years...
