    300 vs 338 and the TRG

    Re: 300 vs 338 and the TRG I've owned all 3 at the same time (TRG22 and TRG42 300 & 338). The only one I still own is the 300. It costs half of what the 338 does to shoot, has no recoil and just might be the most accurate rifle that I own (KMW and TacOps included). I've used it for hunting...

    TRG 42 trigger

    Re: TRG 42 trigger Make sure you always keep the 1st stage at roughly 1/2 the weight of the 2nd stage on a TRG. The only thing that I've ever seen go wrong on a TRG is the trigger when the stages are adjusted to close together. You can't have a 2# stage one and then a 2.5# stage 2 if you...

    Rifle Scopes Tracking Optics?

    Re: Tracking Optics? I've shot the system. It's wild and it really works. Think fighter aircraft.

    new rem 700 wont chamber a round

    Re: new rem 700 wont chamber a round Probably the front action screw since it "almost" closes. The other stock must have been a hair thicker through there.

    Rifle Scopes No more ERGO?

    Re: No more ERGO? I always prefered the ergo as they were optically superior to T-pals and much less sensitive to paralax to begin with. T-pal requires an extra internal lens to focus. Ergo uses the over all tube length to focus (screw in to shorten, out to lengthen).

    magnum reserch lone eagle 30/30 question

    Re: magnum reserch lone eagle 30/30 question I was able to lighten the trigger pull weight on mine by cutting loops off of the plunger spring. Badshot nailed the major design flaw of the lone eagle. The lock time is forever and after all of the parts have slammed together and you finally...

    Rifle Scopes A USO question

    Re: A USO question I've been pondering this very same question. Tac Ops rifles are two tone (OD & blk) so I've just decided to keep it simple and go blk. I'd love to see an OD USO on a Tac Ops rifle but, sight unseen, I can't do it.

    Gunsmithing Bolt lifts hard

    Re: Bolt lifts hard I chased this same exact problem for weeks with all kinds of load variations and it turned out to be exactly what Go Figure has suggested. I even stuck the bolt once. When you pull the trigger, the brass expands to fit the chamber and squares up the bolt which can drive...

    Re: Looking for a riflesmith in central Texas Who did you end up going to? PM me if you would prefer. The guy I used in Austin retired and I'm still trying to figure out where to go now.

    7 rem mag loads for heavy bullets?

    Re: 7 rem mag loads for heavy bullets? I really like the RL25 and 180 Bergers @ 3.46" with a 215m primer. I'm running 2950fps.

    Gunsmithing new 5R questions

    Re: new 5R questions My first question is how does your new 5R shoot? The next question is how does it function? If both answers are positive then put some grease on the contact area of the lugs, tighten the stock bolts to 65inch/lbs and go have some fun.

    5R or LTR 308

    Re: 5R or LTR 308 I've owned 3 5R's and they all shot extremely well. I'd have to lean toward the 5R and give it a paint job.

    Any TRG 42 338LP owners having fouling issues?

    Re: Any TRG 42 338LP owners having fouling issues? To get consistant ignition, he may need a hotter primer like a 215. Have you guys had any pressure signs with any of your loads?

    Any TRG 42 338LP owners having fouling issues?

    Re: Any TRG 42 338LP owners having fouling issues? It sounds like your friend has ignition issues. I've owned a total of 5 TRG rifles (2-42's and 3-22's). I shoot with several friends who also own TRG rifles. A TRG will go a long way without cleaning and still hold .5 moa. Copper wash...

    Lee pro 1000 info needed

    Re: Lee pro 1000 info needed They work just fine. I used one for years in 44mag and 45acp. It will act up from time to time so you will need to have just a little bit of mechanical ability to keep it running but that's it. My issue with the Pro 1000, I wish they had four stations so you...

    308 fps question

    Re: 308 fps question I've found that short barrels penalize you more with a light bullet than with a heavy. Using the same powder, you will have more of it to burn behind a light bullet and the light bullet will exit the barrel in less time. If 155's are 300fps faster with a 24" bbl per...

    7mmRM 180 smk + R22 starting load opinions/help

    Re: 7mmRM 180 smk + R22 starting load opinions/help I'm running a 1:9" PacNor on my 7RM with 180VLD Bergers @ 2950fps and having no (zero) stability issues after over 650 rounds shooting at distances out to 1000yds. I think sometimes Sierra is a little conservative in their twist...

    300 wsm help

    Re: 300 wsm help For whatever reason, I had serious pressure issues using RL-19 and H4350. I even had some issues with 4831sc but, when I tried RL-22, my troubles went away. I had superb accuracy and good velocity (2950fps). I'm running a 1-10 Bartlien, a SAAMI min. spec chamber...

    7mmRM 180 smk + R22 starting load opinions/help

    Re: 7mmRM 180 smk + R22 starting load opinions/help Switch to RL-25 for heavy bullets in the 7mm RM. With 180 Bergers, I'm running right around 67grs of RL-25 with 215m's at 3.460" oal (.008 into lands) and getting 2950fps.

    300 wsm help

    Re: 300 wsm help My Bartlien bbl 300wsm likes RL-22. I had pressure issues with every powder that I tried that was faster than the RL-22.
