Resurrecting a dead thread here but the mag catch is adjustable to fine tune out any feeding issues. I have two HITs and 4 barrels for different cartridges with no issues - mag, bolt, or otherwise. Seekins is a top tier company and would not hesitate to resolve and issues you might experience.

Re: Ladder test interpretations please! I'm fairly confident in my shooting skill. I have 8 years firing the m16 with the Army and about 6 with bolt actions. I can shoot tight groups and have from a bench with a bag. I will admit, shooting that ladder test in the prone was less than...

Hi all! I performed a couple ladder tests over the past few weeks. I'm shooting a Howa .308 with a 20" bull barrel in a B&C Medalist stock with a 4-16x Monarch. I was only able to shoot just over 350 yards. The flowing picture is of my refined test of .3gr instruments. I was shooting prone off a...

Re: Missouri shooters Sorry for digging up an old thread but I'll be moving to st. Joseph in a couple months. I'm from central Iowa and have had the privilege of a friend with a lot of land to shoot. I love medium to long distance shooting and am a little worried I may not have that...

Re: Magtech .308 Brass - out of spec? Thanks for the reply! I was at the range when it was fired, new from the magtech box. I tumbled it and FL resized it. I'll try firing it again from my rifle and see if there is any improvement.

I picked up a bunch of once fired magtech brass shot from an ar10 at the range. Resizing was difficult and required a lot of force at the press. After trimming all cases to 2.005", the rest of the case prep, charging and seating, I went to the range to let some lead fly. Each round was very...

Re: Barrel break in - did she get too hot? I'll give the Sierra MatchKing's a try then. Thanks! As for the heat, is it possible I overheated the barrel?

I took my new Howa 1500 Compact Varminter 308 to the range to break the barrel in. In about an hour I fired 36 shots, running a bore snake (I know, should have use a rod and patches)down the barrel with Hoppes cleaner between every shot. Very little copper fouling, even after extensive...

Re: Howa 1500 ?? Is your howa the heavy barrel 308? 20" or 24"? Couldn't tell from your first post. I have the 20" heavy barrel and have been having issues getting it to group well. I've only tried hand loads of one bullet and two different powders so that may have something to do with it...
