    Question about new barrel break-in

    Re: Question about new barrel break-in Thanks Guy's. I reckon I will just save the Final Finish for polishing after alot of rounds are through it. I think I will just take the middle of the road on cleaning during break in. Thanks

    Question about new barrel break-in

    I have a new Rem.700p in .308 of late 90's vintage and among other items I recieved with the purchase came a box of Final Finish bullets {75 ct}.

    Question on Rem 700p in .308...

    Re: Question on Rem 700p in .308... Hey MN, does this mean it will shoot as well as everyone says even at COL's at magazine length? Do VLD type bullets work as well in that case or better to stay with more mainstream match shapes?

    Re: Question on Rem 700p in .308... Thanks Deadly. Straight advice I can use. My understanding is it comes pillar bedded. Does it still need glasbedding as well? As far as the trigger.......this thing feels like nails on a chalkboard. I am pretty mech minded. Is the adjustment procedure...

    Is this wall thickness average for .308?

    Re: Is this wall thickness average for .308? Thanks Chad.... From your answer I gather I can expect on average a thicker neck wall on current brass? Does that 0.328 bushing size you recommend eliminate the thicker Remington brass from being sized with that bushing? The thing is both these...
