    Chamber design: Freebore vs a long leade

    When considering a discussion about SAAMI chamber vs custom, a common difference is that many SAAMI cartridges don't have freebore but rather a leade with larger diameter and constant taper until it is below groove diameter. Ex: 284 Win saami chamber has no freebore but rather a long and shallow...

    Firearms FS: Desert Tech A1 6.5x47

    I’m selling my black desert tech SRS A1. I bought this with a factory DT 6.5x47 lapua conversion. This is the most reliably accurate rifle I’ve ever owned. It has been a range queen, basically just used off benches or prone mats so there is no notable wear besides some little scratches on...

    I have a 300 Norma Mag conversion for my DTA and have been having issues with difficult case extraction after firing.
