    Caliber choice for a M700 Ti action (long)?

    For what purpose? .532" or .473" bolt? Personally, I don't see how you can go wrong with a 280/280AI, but you've already got one!

    Hornady and the 7mm 162 Amax

    While the 7mm 168smk doesn't win any form factor or BC awards, they're available and shoot very well. Not a top performing bullet, but not awful.

    Had to drill one out of my buddys Savage.

    options for measuring chamber?

    Deadshot2 Good point about trimming for crimping purposes! Inconsistent case length = inconsistent crimp = shit accuracy. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Virgin Competitor Needs Advice!!

    You misquoted me, changing the meaning/context. What I wrote was: Of course fundamentals are crucial to any discipline.

    Hornady and the 7mm 162 Amax

    The 162hpbt is also on the suspend list. OP: My advice is to develop a new load with a different bullet. Sell the amax's you've got on hand, they'll move easy.

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    Yep, sure are. One piece bolt, flat bottom receiver, integral recoil lug, shoot lights out. The Weatherby Vanguard is just a rebadged Howa, by the way...

    Range Report 7mm Accubond LR BCs

    I think it all goes back to the replacement of the 30-06 by the 308. The DoD mandated a 30cal. "Tradition" took over from there. 100% agree a 708 is a better choice in almost all scenarios though.

    Question on Brass expanding to fit your chamber

    It does in fact take several firings to **fully** fireform a case to a chamber, though the difference between the 2nd and 3rd (or 3rd/4th) is way, way less than the difference between the 1st and 2nd. Evidence of this is how many shots it takes, necksizing ONLY between shots, before the bolt...

    Range Report 7mm Accubond LR BCs

    Ditto! I work with a bunch of these folks... 300WM, 7mag... one guy even has a f'ing 338RUM to shoot at whitetail with. Personally, I think a 243 does a bang-up job on whitetail.

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    The Howa is a better rifle than a Savage, or a Remington - and cheaper, too. That said, this is particularly on-point: This applies to most any of the heavy barrel, target-oriented rifles!

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 19 or Glock 19c?

    I love, love, love my G21C. I had serious doubts about it before buying it - I just didn't think those little slits in the barrel would be very effective, nor did I think a 45 had enough pressure to drive a compensator very well. I was dead wrong; it works great! I did buy a standard G21 barrel...

    Range Report 7mm Accubond LR BCs

    Agreed! Assuming an excellent form factor of ~.94 or so, I think the G1BC would come in around .57 or so - pretty close to the 140gr 6.5mm bullets - except a 7mm08 would push them faster than a 260 can (reasonably) push a 140.

    Loose primer pockets - when is it too loose?

    Funny, those are the ones I *take* to matches where I'm likely to loose a lot of brass!

    2013 GAP Grind video. (I spent many, many hours on this, you should check it out!)

    Neat idea, George, but I'm curious how this will work with the in-betweener type shooters that are neither seasoned veterans, nor rank amateurs. Seems like there's a lot of folks that have a bunch of matches under their belts, but aren't "top shooters".

    Gunsmithing Sanity check, please: .223 bolt gun build

    No one is "pouncing" on you, just sharing their difference in opinion. No one suggested 223 ammo fired from a 223AI chamber will perform like 223AI.

    options for measuring chamber?

    The only *crucial* need in trimming brass is to prevent the caseneck from growing long enough that it begins leading into the freebore of the chamber. If it does, it will pinch down on the bullet, hindering the freedom of the bullet to launch forward. This can cause pretty severe pressure...

    A fine idea! I kinda got the impression from the OP though, that money may be a little too tight for that...?
