    7 PRC market penetration

    These were second hand claims that I couldn't verify so I cant answer your question. And funny you should mention inconsistencies in EldX hunter ammo as I came across a box o 300PRC today with half the rounds out of spec!

    7 PRC market penetration

    Im basing this on the amount of "Precision" factory rifles that I'm testing for customers and re-barreling. Def not taking everyone's word without verifying they shoot like sh!t first. And there's no denying that all these factory precision rifle company's that start with the letters like C, F...

    7 PRC market penetration

    I just got 3 complete rifle orders in the last month, but have heard some people experiencing accuracy issues. Not sure if it was the quality of the rifle or the cartridge itself as I have no personal experience yet. I just got my JGS reamer recently. Is anyone else experiencing these...

    Tikka t3x barrel thread cost? $225

    I charge $150 to thread a barrel and my business is in Ca! If I need to contour or time a brake then it's $200-225. If you have a self timing brake then that's a bit expensive. The most common thread length for muzzle threads is .600" . Some brakes have shorter or longer tenon's but just make...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    What kind of recoil will the Jockey be able to handle? Will they handle a Short Mag running a can?

    What barrel do you use for long range rifle?

    Marc’s a great guy, he was my mentor. Even though we all miss him here in Ca, he’s much happier living in Idaho!

    What barrel do you use for long range rifle?

    Correct Im running a TBAS. I also cut at extremely low speeds on my 3000lb+ South Bend lathe so my chambers take longer to cut. My business is word of mouth only and I'm not hindered by time constraints or a large backlog. My lathe has a 2.06" spindle bore and if needed, I'll support the muzzle...

    KRG W3 Bedding.

    The best way to tell if a chassis needs bedding is to shoot at least 50-100 rounds through the rifle before determining if bedding is needed. Disassemble the rifle and check the contact points between action and chassis. There will be wear marks in the finish of the chassis. If the wear marks...

    Best precision suppressor

    TBAC here! My 338 Ultra made my competition 338LM improved more accurate. A larger diameter bore on your can will affect the projectile less and mitigate point of impact shift. I use a .30 cal can on my 6.5's and 7mm's and can't tell if theres an audible difference.

    What barrel do you use for long range rifle?

    I'll recommend a Bartlein every time, never had an issue with accuracy in the hundreds of chambers I've cut. -Shouldered barrels only for ELR rifles. Less parts the better to insure consistency and accuracy. I time my barrels to 12 o'clock using a precision rod inserted into the bore, not the...

    Cerakote inside Impact Action? Yay or Nay

    For this very reason I switched to KG Industries Nano series paints when coating actions. Kg goes on 1/2 the thickness of Cerakote to minimize clearance issues. If you have a sloppy factory action with loose tolerances then it really doesn't matter what you spray it with. Most custom actions...
