    308 Win or 30-284 ? Magnum Research carbon blank

    Hi, I have an unchambered none magnum 30 cal blank, 1-10 Twist, from Magnum Research, and wondering what action to fit to this carbon wrapped tube and what to chamber. Seems I could start off in 308 Win., then even rechamber to 30-284. Its an expensive blank, not the sort of thing to make a...

    1-8 Twist 22-250 to use VLD - anyone shoot this ?

    Hi Guys, Most factory 1-12 22-250 won't shoot anything over 55gr heads. Anyone have good results with 1-7 or 1-8 twist and VLD heads in their 22-250 bolt gun ? Gee

    450 Bushmaster Subsonic Bolt Gun, anyone ?

    Hi Guys, I think a factory standard 1-22 twist obtains MOA supersonic accuracy at 100 yards with the 250gr Hornady FTX heads, usually in an AR-15 platform. Anyone tried to optimise accuracy subsonic in a 450 Bushmaster bolt gun and if so, what bullet head and twist rate achieves this ? Gee

    Browning BLR 300BLK 240gr SMK Subs Rapid Fire !

    Surely the fastest way to launch multiple 240gr SMK quietly, without the noise of a gas operated rifle ? Does anyone here LOVE their BLR enough to finesse it to a custom rifle ? I have mig welded an FN FAL magazine to the base of a BLR mag, to obtain high capacity, though the rig still has...

    Ruger No.1 Sniper Rifle ?

    Does anyone here prefer to use a Ruger No. 1 being unable to forego the clean lines and simplicity of a falling block ? I see picatinny rails can now be bought for a No. 1. It is a shame the forend can not be full floated off the barrel, as the mounting spigot is not robust enough without...

    Sommer & Ockenfuss Sniper Rifle - anyone ?

    I have one in 308 and its compromised by either not being sent for impartial critical evaluation during the prototype phase, or if it was, those who evaluated it were no good, or the manufacturer / designer failed to act upon advice. No one can proof read their own book. It is a very...

    No MOA accuracy in 1-8 Twist 300 BLK Supersonic ?

    Is MOA accuracy achieved in 1-8 Twist 300 BLK when pushed Supersonic ? When you look at 30BR, people are having to use a 1-17 or 1-18 twist to get best accuracy from a 110 to 120gr 308 head. My understanding of Benchrest Accuracy is they expect 1/4 to 1/3rd MOA accuracy out to 300yards. I...

    Gunsmithing Rebated Rim 338 Lapua to fit 308 Bolt Face

    Hi, Re:- Wildcat Rebated Rim on 338 Lapua to fit 308 Bolt face. If the 6.5-284 and 450 Bushmaster can use a rebated rim, surely there is some ability to bring this to other cartridges ? I actually wish to be able to do this:- 1. Rebate 338 Lapua to 308 bolt face 2. Neck 338 up to .50 to...

    AW Covert 1-9 Twist 16" 308 Full Length Supressor

    Hi, Anyone shoot this rifle with supersonic ammo at long range and if so, what loads are you using and what accuracy are you achieving ? It is Hollywood quiet with subsonics, PHUT, just like the movies. Subsonic, I find 10.5gr Trail Boss and a 200gr SMK is best. Managed a 1 inch 3 shot...
