    JP HP bolt - preemptive buy?

    My LMT 6.5 MWS is supposed to be in soon, and I’m thinking about ordering the JP small pin bolt just to ensure I don’t start having primer issues with handloads right out of the gate. Do any of you guys with a 6.5 MWS have issues with the factory bolt?

    Rifle Scopes Correct Spuhr mount for 50mm NF NXS on LMT MWS?

    Will the 1.35” height alllow the objective to clear the rail, or will I need the 1.5”?

    LMT MWS 6.5CM - yes or no?

    Finally got sick of fucking with my AXMC piercing primers in 6.5, so I’m thinking about another gun. Are the 20” 6.5 MWSs shooting worth a shit, or is this going to be something else that will wind up pissing me off and requiring lots of TLC to get it to shoot well and function correctly?

    AXMC LA small pin bolt?

    i just got the .308 bolt body for my AXMC, and since I’m planning on shooting small-primer Creedmoor brass I’m thinking it might be good to get another firing pin assembly and have it turned down and the bolt bushed, since this isn’t a factory option for the long action. Anyone done this yet...

    New AXMC owner...question

    Just joined the AXMC owners' club - and I have to tell you, the Kool-Aid tastes GOOOOD. I'm having an issue, though, which surprises me a little. The rifle is a .300 WM, and I only have one magazine as of today. When I use the magazine, if I load it so that the top round is on the right...

    F T/R Competition F-open 1k score

    I shot a 1000x3 yesterday with my TRG-42 .300 off a Harris, and scored 185-1x, 185-2x, and 185-2x. Considering this rifle is NOT set up for F-class, what say the experts here? Decent?

    Rifle Scopes ATACR on TRG-42 - Which Spuhr ISMS?

    All I need is 20 MOA, and I'd like to keep it mounted as low as possible. What's the lowest Spuhr that I can use in this application? Thanks!

    Barrel shank dimension and thread for TRG-42?

    Does anyone know what diameter blank I should order for a new TRG barrel, and what the thread pitch and LH or RH is? Thank you!

    .300WM sizing issue - FL Type S shaving brass off case body?

    I recently started loading .300WM for a Sako TRG-42, and one of the things I was advised to get up front was the Innovative magnum collet die along with the usual Type S neck and FL dies. I found the Innovative die does what it's advertised to do (i.e. size the part of the belted magnum case...

    TRG42 .300 accuracy potential?

    What should I expect out of this gun? I'm still trying to work up a load. It looks like it wants to shoot, the CBS goes right into the X-ring at 100 every time. It's after I get a few rounds down that one will jump out of the cloverleaf, and I think it's me and not the gun. Most of the...

    4 dead Federal 215 primers out of 25 rounds?

    They didn't fire even on the 2nd restrike, which I would think would be plenty if it were a seating problem. Is there a known bad lot of 215s? The firing pin indents are strong and clear - it's not the gun.

    BR2 primers OK with RL22 in .300WM?

    If it was a .308 I'd just go out and shoot, but when you consider it costs about $0.45 in barrel life every time I pull the trigger, I thought I'd check here first. My load is going to be 208 AMAX using RL22 in Win Super brass, and I have a choice of Federal 215s, CCI 250s, or CCI BR2s. I use...

    1x fired GI .300WM brass - cost?

    I think someone might be trying to screw me. What do you guys think this is worth per case?

    More TRG questions

    Experienced -42 owners, help a new guy out. Any break-in required or a good idea for this barrel (.300WM)? I thought it would have sockets on the stock for QD sling swivels, but it has hook-eye type fasteners. Can these be removed and replaced with cups without too much trouble? I...

    TRG-42 Picatinny rail question

    When putting a new TRG into service, should I remove and remount the Pic rail to ensure it's properly Loctited, or is it done from the factory?

    MOLLE/PALS mag pouches for 10-round AI magazines

    I'm having trouble finding something that will work. I've wound up rigging some other pouches to work, sort of, but that sucks. Ideally I'd like singles that have a Fastex buckle instead of Velcro, and some kind of retention capability as well. Any ideas?

    Tips on getting cartridge runout under .002"?

    Prior to switching to a Redding bushing neck die and a micrometer seating stem on my regular Redding seater, I couldn't get my .308 cartridge runout under .006. Now that I've made those changes, my runout is consistently .0021 (as measured with the Forster Case Inspector). I'm using Lapua...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 1-4x24 Viper PST - anyone tried it?

    I'm thinking about one of these in mil/mil for a 16" Recce-ish rifle. Has anyone tried one yet? How are the adjustments and repeatability?
