    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    Yea, he is shooting right now with 3 loads on a lower powder charge. If they don't shoot, we will start like it's a fresh barrel with an ocw. As far as a well known load, I've seen TONS of people with a 28 nosler shooting 85-87 grains of rl33 and 195 bergers with great success. That's why I...

    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    I agree 100% that's why I'm starting to get kinda pisses. Good thing is, if this barrel won't shoot, it was only $175 test since I chambered it myself. However, this would be the first xcaliber that wouldn't shoot at least.5 moa or better. Not giving up yet, just keep shooting.

    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    I think we will try to find somewhere longer to shoot. 100 is just so easy because it's 3 mons from the house, where we go for 800-1000 is almost an hour away.

    Rifle Scopes nf svh or bushy lrhs......help me pull trigger

    Doesn't matter now I guess since you already got the bushy, hope you like it. I've never owned one. I will say tho, I am super impressed with the shv. I ordered the 5-20 and was super impressed. I was leaning on the nxs and went the less expensive route. Glad I did because I don't know if all...

    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    Yea I'd really like to give the 195 an honest effort because it is ballistically incredible on paper as long as it actually shoots what you point it at. As for the ocw test, I've actually told him that's what we need to do but he never has and doesn't see why he should now. He wants to keep...

    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    Picture 3 was the promising load from yesterday so we shot it again today, 6 shots (1 cold ore and then 5). That is pic 1. Don't know why it is so much worse.

    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    Scope is known good, it is a nightforce atacr that we had on his 6.5x47 with no issues. NF base as well. Haven't tried other powders because it seems rl33 is the clear winner for so many other builds I've seen.

    28 nosler - can't bring group in any smaller

    so just finished up a 28 nosler for my friend and we are having trouble getting groups any better than about moa. Brand new rem 700 stainless action, grayboe stock, fully bedded, jewell trigger, 26" xcaliber barrel. Chamber allows for 2.975 to lands which gives a 3.720 coal. We have tried...

    Gunsmithing In the market for a lathe....

    getting a little off topic here, but if using the TBAS, what do you do to keep the end of the barrel inside the headstock from "flopping" around? My friend that uses it has delrin bushings he puts on that end and seems to work fine, but I have never really been a fan of that method.

    Gunsmithing In the market for a lathe....

    Haha, I've been really happy with mine. Not sure how they compare to the others mentioned that he is looking for. I've never worked on anything but old Logan and southbend and new Chinese like he wants to avoid and then of course the Taiwanese 1340 I have now. I have maybe 5 hours on a Nardini...

    Gunsmithing Stock bedding tutorial

    Yea I don't really agonize over it, I'm the only one who sees it, or actually doesn't see it haha. Just something I thought I could improve on. Guess my patience doesn't allow me to have nice stuff haha

    Gunsmithing Stock bedding tutorial

    I have bedded a few stocks with no issue, but my struggle is with finish. I know Chad at LRI uses cnc to get such clean lines and incredible final product, but how do the DIYers like me end up with such clean lines around the inside of the magwell and trigger area. I have used a flush trim...

    Peterson brass

    The 28 nosler really seems to be an up-and-comer right now. 195's at 3100 is hard to beat. I think people are catching on. I'd be in for a few hundred if you hammered some out.

    Gunsmithing In the market for a lathe....

    I have a pm 1340gt and have been really happy with it. You mention not wanting similar quality to grizzly, which most precision Matthew's would be considered as much, but I'd call the 1340gt a step above. I've had a grizzly and a pm1236 and did like the pm better, but the 1340gt is def in a...

    Peterson brass

    Wish they made a 26/28/30 nosler brass. Really like the price and sounds like it is good stuff.

    Gunsmithing 264 win mag build

    Very nice. I've used a few of the Excalibur barrels for myself and a couple friends. They have all been nice and everyone has been a shooter. Granted we handled for everything so far, but all easily capable 1/2 moa

    6x45 or 6.5 Creedmoor

    6.5CM no question. What would even be a benefit of the 6x45?
