    Factory pointed bullets

    I have been reading quite a bit about Bryan Litz and the concept of "pointing" bullets. I guess I am just curious if anyone makes pointed bullets straight from the factory? If there aren't any currently doing it, why? If pointing really does provide some benefit, why wouldn't Berger, Sierra, JLK...

    Experience with Rem 597 HB?

    Stupid, I know. "If you want a semi-auto .22lr you get a ruger 10/22." I had one, and I loved it, but recently I passed it on down to my nephew and am itching to get another .22lr auto loader. I love the idea of the takedown 10/22, but this Rem 597 HB has really caught my eye and am really...

    Is there something wrong with compressed loads?

    Hello all, I was reading up on some new ideas for loading my 7mm RM and am really intrigued by the lower pressure, high velocity Retumbo/180 class bullet combo, but it seems like many people go to H1000 to avoid shooting a "compressed" load. I will be shooting out of a 28" barrel, so the...

    Question for 6.5 Grendel reloaders

    Hey everyone, I am struggling with finding reliable data on bullet speeds that I can expect from a 20" barrel. I am trying to figure out some loads I want to try by messing around with JBM, but am severely limited by not knowing the Muzzle Velocity to expect with all the different weight...

    Help with my first build

    Hey everyone, I have asked some questions along the way with limited response, so I wanted to go from a different angle. I have been shooting tactical matches for a little more than a year now with my ruger 7mm rem mag sporting rifle and have been having an absolute blast, so I figure it is...

    Would like your opinion on the best action for my build

    I appreciate everyones help with advise on a Shilen action, but after finding out that I received false information about them having the model I need in stock, I have decided that I will just spring for a more widely accepted quality action for my build since I have to wait anyway. I am...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Base Cant question

    I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I can't find a definitive answer anywhere and it is just bothering the piss outta me. I am planning on running a 100 yard zero on my scope and have 26 mil of total elevation travel. With my 7mm mag that will get me out to 2k+ yards and with my 6.5...

    Gunsmithing Shilen DGR

    Does anyone have experience with these actions? I am in the process of piecing together a rifle and since my budget is slightly limited ($2.5k is desireable) I was looking at a stiller Tac300, but it was brought to my attention that the Shilen action is made by Stiller and appear to be more...

    7mm Berger 175 xld anyone?

    Apparently, this is a pretty new offering (I don't even see it listed on their website). Does anyone have any experience with them?

    7mm Rem Mag Advice Please

    The only real thing I have set in stone right now is that I will be using the 7mm Rem Mag with 180 gr vld's and IMR 4350 powder (I have 9 lbs of it and it has given me the best results in my 7mm sporter hunting rifle). I have ZERO experience with these heavy match bullets and am looking for a...

    Custom build on stiller action

    First of all, I would like to say thanks for the advise many of you have given me so far. I have been having an issue with a 7mm rem mag that I own, and the problem is that it won't group for crap. This has led me on a wild goose chase to find a smith that would work with a ruger action...

    Gunsmithing ruger 77 action

    I have an idea for a new build and I need to know if I am being realistic with expectations. Building off of this action isn't my ideal choice, but I have a Left Handed m77 in 7mm rem mag that shoots 2 moa groups and that pisses me off. I am wanting to turn it into an ELR tac driver. So here are...

    Magpul PRS question

    I am going to be picking one up for my AR-15 and have heard some mixed information on the buffer tube. I will be converting it from the cheap 6 pos adjustable that came on the lower. Do I need a longer buffer tube assembly or can I use the current one and just install the PRS?

    6.5 grendel out of 7.62x39

    I have heard that back in the early days of the cartridge, people were making the grendel out of the AK round. The price of brass has dropped considerably, but I have a friend whom I recently discovered throws away his spent AK brass and if I can make good use of it I would be more than happy to...
