Just wondering if any have ever come across custom action (Pierce, Lawton, Stiller, Surgeon, etc) comparisons pitting a single shot design against a similar repeater? How much more accurate are the single shot actions? Would it require an extremely skilled marksman to realize any accuracy...

I currently have a Remy 700 action in a Bell & Carlson stock with Wyatt bottom metal. I'm thinking about replacing the action with a Barnard Model SM. The Barnard US distributor website, MT Guns, says this action can use H-S or Badger bottom metal. Anybody here know if the Wyatt set-up I...

Been thinking lately about crossing over to the dark side and turning necks like the BR guys do. The way I understand it you turn case necks to get consistent wall thickness so there will be uniform tension around the bullet perimeter and reproducible tension from load to load. The problem...

I want to use a regular micrometer for measuring web expansion to help identify safe max load. I don't have a blade micrometer that would allow me to measure in the extractor groove which I think would be the best place for this. I could use my calipers but my mic is higher quality with...

I keep brass segregated by # of times fired so I can anneal after every fourth firing. Right now I have 50 pieces of once fired from two different lots. I want to mix them together so I only have to do one tumbling run. I use a rotary tumbler with aqueous detergent and SS media and usually...

I saw some peculiar looking scratching on the inside of some Lapua 308 necks recently and traced the problem to brass build up on my Lyman 30-Long M expander die. The stuff is really stubborn and I'm having a tough time removing it. So far I've worked on it pretty hard with steel wool which...

UPS just delivered a Vortex 6-24X50 Viper PST scope, 2ndFP, 0.1 mrad. I had the 1stFP backordered for the last couple months at Midway but when they changed the expected ship date to next March I decided to take order the fixed reticle model as I need something decent now. OK so I'm mounting...

The brown truck dropped of a new 308 tube today. It's a PAC-NOR SS Super Match,1:12 twist, 3 groove, 26", Heavy Varmint contour. Only took about an hour to get it fitted in the Remy 700P HS Precision stock. I went with a barrel nut similar to what Savage uses so I can switch out the...

On another reloading forum I frequent cleaning cases using vinegar was discussed and several posted about obtaining good results. So I figured I'd give it a go. I left the primers in on about 100 cases and dumped them into apple cider vinegar and let them soak for about a half hour. My reason...

If anyone out there has some Federal 308 Gold Medal Match ammo with 168 gr SMKs and a micrometer could you please measure the neck diameter and post up?. Ordering a barrel tomorrow that is chambered for this round and want to make sure my reloads will fit. Thanks!

The rifle is a 10 yr old Remington 700P, it has an HS Precision stock with an aluminum bedding block. The stock barrel is a bit lighter than the straight taper heavy varmint contour I'm thinking of geting. I measure 0.823" at the muzzle and about 2" for the "D" dimension in the figure below...

Anyone familiar with the .308 Sniper chamber?? I sent the following email question to PAC-NOR: ***************** <span style="color: #000099">Hi, I'm going to be sending in a Remington 700 barreled action for rebarreling. This will be a target rifle. I've decided on everything I want except...
