    20 moa base question

    Looks like the rail is bent.

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    For new Lapua brass, I chamfer the case mouth and run an expander mandrel/ball through the neck.

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    I didn't read through the whole thread so please forgive me if this has been done. Have you tried some Federal Gold Metal ammo with the 168 gr SMK and with the 175 gr SMK? The three 308 Win I've had over the years would shoot one of those good. You're dot target looks pretty good. I...

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    What distance were you shooting? And to double check -- are these all the same load?

    Question about potential throat issue on brand new Accuracy International replacement barrel, pic's attached

    It sure looks like there's a burr on the leade. Sign of a full reamer. I would first contact who you bought the barrel from and ask for guidance. They will likely ask you to shoot it and see if it performs acceptably.

    AW mag feeding issue

    @1up5down do you need a picture of what the follower should look like on top of the mag?

    AW mag feeding issue

    I'm thinking the cartridge case should be up against the feed lip. Is this a new magazine? Any chance the follower is in backwards?

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    I feel for ya, brother. It sounds like you're doing a lot of good things. I use a RCBS Rockchucker from the 70's and haven't been able to prove to myself that it compromises my precision rifle ammunition. Your attempt at annealing didn't hurt anything and it probably didn't do any annealing...

    New Bolt Action Comp Ready Rifle on the Market.

    That looks sweet to me. I wouldn't require an integral rail and lug. The lug is dual-pinned and the rail is held with 8-32 screws.

    Carbon ring removal

    Thanks for the follow up! Looks like its cured.

    Something apparently unexplainable happening with my custom hunting rifle

    Something else that I've noticed affecting where the bullets end up is how many clothes you are wearing. Many in one case you are wearing a T-shirt and another case you are wearing a thicker shirt and a coat?

    Different Brass (Accuracy Effect)

    If you don't mind finishing at the bottom of the results then go fo it.

    Accuracy international 2.0 legacy stock pricing?

    The legacy AICS are being priced quite high these days. I saw two different ads that were asking $2000.

    Older weatherby vanguard issue

    Along with what Mike Casselton is suggesting, remove the firing pin assembly from the bolt body to see if that makes a difference. If the bolt body or lugs are dragging then it will still have the problem.

    Little Crow Gunworks: Avg POI Is More Important Than Group Size. Thoughts?

    That's pretty much how Optimal Charge Weight method works.

    Lone peak actions.

    @20drone19 -- it depends what you what to do with those rifles. Unless you're wanting world class benchrest competition accuracy you'll be fine. Find another 'smith that will chamber what you want.
