    R700 SA, 308 to 223: Replace bolt body or complete bolt assembly?

    Newbie question, but search doesn't yield anything. I have an idle 308 Remington 700 that I want to build into something on a 223 bolt face using a barrel nut setup.

    I have a one-piece Talley mount for an 1885. When I snug up the front screws, there is a gap of 0.050" between the mount and the receiver (measured with feeler gauges). It was worse at the receiver if I snug the rear screws. The mount selection for this rifle is very limited so I am pretty...

    6.5-284 140gr A-Max, H4895 load needed

    I know the combination of H4895 and 140gr bullets is less than optimal in the 6.5-284. I certainly can't find any data on it. However, I have a great deal of H4895 to burn and a partial box of 140gr A-Max's. I'd like to put together a mild load with this combination, mainly just to use as...
