    Federal .260 Brass

    My brother had some of this lying around from some factory Fed hunting rounds. Just wondering if they actually made it, or did they get from Rem and headstamp it?

    Neck Tension vs. Time

    Happened across this interesting little bit over on the 6mmBR site, not sure if its been posted here before (it's from '08), but anyway: " TECH TIP–Neck Tension vs. Time This may surprise you.

    Gunsmithing Bedding Question, Devcon not curing?

    Just attempted a bedding job with the Devcon steel putty. After 24 hrs of cure time we pulled the action out and the bedding compound was still soft to the touch (fingerprints imprinted). We attempted to mix with a ratio of 2.5:1 or 3:1 as was stated on the box. Checked again today, approx...

    Pretty Cool Website

    For all you tech/sci geeks, I was told about this site yesterday and its really interesting for predicting and observing all sorts of stuff. http://www.heavens-above.com/ Click on your location on their map link. I checked out the flightpath for the ISS and went outside and spotted it in a few...

    Rifle Scopes Clarity differences with FFP and SFP "high end"

    ... glass. Have noticed some issues with some FFP scopes and gaining maximum clarity/resolution at ranges within 400-500yds compared to other high end SFP scopes. Part of this can possibly be attributed to difficulties dialing in parallax occasionally. But are there any aspects inherent in the...

    JLK 140 vld info

    Received a small batch to test with my .260 and am looking for info from those who have developed a load with these and/or the JLK 130 vld's. I am thinking starting with them jammed and working back (like Berger recommends for their vld's). Is that the best process? Unfortunately I only have 35...

    6.5: 123s vs. 139/140s for medium range shooting..

    Curious as to why I see a lack of 6.5 shooters using the lighter 123s, and am wondering if they are a better choice for shooting medium range (to 600yds), especially for tactical matches? After running JBM numbers a bit the wind drift is negligible and the lighter projectiles fly noticably...

    MTU contour muzzle brake options?

    Anyone have recommendations? Will the Badger Thruster work or is its diameter too small? I really don't care for the FTE so thats not an option.

    260 shooters. ?'s

    Although I may try the Rem 260 brass first and see how it goes I am curious about the other options. For those of you running Lapua or Win 243 brass in your 260's, what procedure are you utilizing? Just ramming new brass into a FL die and blasting away with it? I read the Zak Smith article (100...

    Lapua resize for 6.5CM?

    Have read and read the 260 vs 6.5CM posts up, down and all around trying to decide between the two. Both shooting buddies have gone 6.5CM, so there is a definite advantage there. Think it is all going to come down to brass choice/availability for me. A buddy has gotten 7-8 reloads out of the...

    Gunsmithing AICS and Jewell HVR fit?

    Just installed trigger. Safety doesn't work due to rubbing on inside of aluminum wall. This is a Rem700 short action. Has anyone had to dremel these stocks to get them to fit the Jewell? Stock has already been opened a bit by previous owner. The trigger works fine even though the stock seems to...

    Chamber length, seating depth, blah blah blah...

    Have a Rem700 .308: measured chamber length using OAL gauge and got about 2.953". I've been shooting 155 Scenars, 47gr Varget, FC & WCC brass at 2.815-2.820" with no pressure signs and am getting pretty good results, sub moa. Is it worth fiddling with seating depth more? I can go up to 2.9" mag...
