    Gunsmithing Feeding problem Rem 700 AAC

    My Remington 700 AAC-SD in 300 blackout does not feed 130 grain hollow points reliably. No issues with soft or ballistic tips. It seems the end of the hollow point is hitting the opening of the barrel while trying to enter. The opening of the barrel forward of the feed ramp is almost square cut...

    Reducing Bullet Runout

    Are the collet/ mandrel dies worth the extra step the loading process? I was looking at the Lee Collet Die or the Sinclair Expander die. I am getting an average of .002 run out with my non neck trimmed fire formed Lapua brass. Would I be wasting time and money on these dies without neck...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on my new NF NXS 2.5-10x32

    My new NF finally arrived today. The thing is built like a tank! The first thing I noticed, turrets were not exposed. That might be a Midway USA web site mess up. The glass was sharper than my Leupold V-II I had on hand for comparison. My older eyes could not tell if it was $1200.00 better...

On occasion I also like to shoot some paper out to maybe 300 yards max or small steel targets. I reload my ammo so I have a load for target and one for hunting. That's where my delima...

    Rifle Scopes Scope opinions for a new build

    Hey guys. As always I value your input. I am putting together my ideal brush gun. It is a Remmy 700, 308Win, 16 in barrel and will live in a MDT LSS chassis. It will be for hog and deer down here in south Texas. Most of my shots hunting will be 100 yards and under but could be say 2 to 300 on...

    Gunsmithing How short is too short

    Hey guys! I need some input/advice on a project gun I am building. This will be a short range,50 to 200 yard, hunting rifle. Yeah I know most of you guys are long rangers! I have a Remington 700 SPS tactical 1/12 rifling 20 inch barrel. I want to cut it down to 16 or 17 inches. Yeah I know...
