    Rem 700 bolt replacement questions

    I was kind of afraid of that. The thing is, I don't really need another rifle, I just want to do something useful with this one.

    Hydrostatic shock question

    They did. It's part 2: Spoiler: They both did very well at 2200 FPS. Neither did well at 1800 FPS. Minimum impact velocity is somewhere between the two -- probably about 2000 FPS, which is right around 600 yards for most manbuns.

    Rem 700 bolt replacement questions

    - Yes, I'm aware of PTGs reputation. Some bolts are available on Midway and other places, but not in left-hand that I can see. - I do plan on going the Remage route. Having re-barreled a Savage, I'm a fan of the barrel nut system. Other than the "look" of the nut, I'm not sure why they're not...

    Rem 700 bolt replacement questions

    First off, I admit to knowing pretty much dick on this particular subject. I've done some research, but some things are not entirely clear. I have done quite a bit of "bubba-smithing", including assembling ARs, glass bedding, and replacing Savage barrels, so I'm not completely inept. Scenario...

    Hydrostatic shock question

    I don't know if it's technically "hydrostatic" but look at the shock the ballistics gel takes here: In one case it flies off the table. That's the "shock" that knocks animals over.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    IMO, rattle can is a bit "ghetto" for such a fine instrument. I used Duracoat and an air brush. I don't recall it being any more difficult to paint than any other gun. Take the skins off, clean it up good (I use brake cleaner), rough it a bit with fine steel wool or similar, and mask off...

    *OOPS! Mixed 1 lb. of RL23 & H4350... Will I blow my face off?

    The correct answer is toss it or use it for some homemade fireworks. Even if you could make it work, you'd have to burn up a bunch of components just to figure out a load that you could never replicate.

    7mag help

    That's good, but I have a feeling when that new brass becomes once fired, you may have problems again. I would try to give the chamber a polish as others suggested.

    7mag help

    I had this exact same problem with a new 7mm R700 a few years ago. I sent it in to Remington and they fixed it, although they didn't say how. -- I assume they polished the chamber. I know they did not replace the barrel. The problem occurred with both factory Federal and my Hornady brass...

    Are the primers on your reloads sitting below flush, or a little above?

    odd... you're the only guy I've ever seen even hint at the idea that the SRS trigger is less than excellent. I know you didn't say it was garbage, but your lack of enthusiasm seems to be the outlier in the bunch. I have a lot of nice aftermarket triggers on other rifles, and I can't see...

    Suppressors First round flyers

    Update. I had the same problem with my 22-250 using H4895 and Varget, both pushing the 53 V-max. For example: This only happens with my 223 can. When I put on the 30 cal can, there's no issue. Of course the answer is "just use the 30 cal can dummy". Well yeah, I can do that, but I really...

    Chassis right or left

    Trust me, you'll be so much happier with a lefty rifle, and it won't take long to get used to it. I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I grew up shooting right handed because that's all we had and all you could get. I was in my 20s before I made the switch and haven't looked back. --...

    22-250 Best Bullet Weight for a 1/14 twist

    Just about anything will work on the minimum side, but you'll be limited to about 55 grains on the maximum side for conventionally shaped bullets. For VLD / ELD style bullets, the maximum will be less, maybe only 50 grains. For example, Hornady says the 53 grain V-max needs 1-12 or faster to...

    The ATF responds to Solvent Traps Made by Diversified Machine

    Curious: What was Diversified Machine doing different than other "solvent trap" companies to draw the ire of the ATF? Were the "baffles" pre-drilled or something?

    The ATF responds to Solvent Traps Made by Diversified Machine

    No one with a suppressor "poses much of a threat". These bullshit laws only exist out of pure ignorance.

    Savage Impulse seems to be rarer than unicorn teeth. Has anyone bought one?

    I get that, but since they make it in a 22-250, and that's what I want, seems like the one to get. I don't think a factory 308 take off barrel would fetch much in resale.
