I'm thinking about building a shorty 308 and having it threaded for a suppressor with plans on Picking one up down the road. I'd like to keep it on the lighter side so what diameter at the muzzle can I go down to and still have enough shoulder to tighten up against? I don't want to run any...

I'm getting ready to do a 6.5 creedmoor and I'm finding that .199" freebore seems to be standard. At least that's what most of the smiths I've talked to say. That seems like a lot of freebore and I'm wondering what the overall length of a 140 Amax at the lands would be. Dave E. at Hornady told...

Stiller predator action, Brux #4 interrupted fluted 10 twist cut to 24", Stock off of a 700 Alaskan Ti, Wearing a vortex viper hs 5-15x44 mil/mil in low talley lightweights. Chambered by RW Snyder and I bedded it into the stock. Weighed right at 7#s without the scope. I built it with the 208...

I just got word that my new 6.5x47 Lapua is on its way to me from the gunsmith. I've got 200 new Lapua brass and 140 vld's, 130vld's, 140 amax's, and 123 amax's that I'd like to try in it. Let me know if you have any good loads or good places to start. Thanks, Bb

I have a 300 WSM being built right now just for hunting. It is a stiller predator action with a #4 interrupted fluted barrel. My plan was to have it cut at 24" but the flutes are held back enough to cut it at 23" and still have at least an inch unfluted near the muzzle. I'm thinking about...

Anyone have any good loads for a 208 amax in a 300 wsm? I've ran them with RL 17 just looking for some other options. Bb

I sold my 700 compact tactical and I'm thinking about a custom to replace it. I have a 700 short action gathering dust but the group buy on the Stiller actions has me tempted again. Would I be better off selling the 700 and buying a tac 30 AW. I have a smith that will single point true the 700...

Thinking about putting together a lighter weight low budget 308 for just keeping in my hunting truck. I'm usually a 260 and 7-08 fan but I shoot a lot of bigger 30's and always have a lot of 30 cal bullets around. Plus I really like the way the 208 amaxs flew in my last 308 and I have 1000 LC...

I picked up a SS Rem 700 in 22-250 for a donor action. I took the barrel off and noticed what looks like a little gauling on one of the recoil lugs. How common is this? I assume it's more common on SS actions than blued steel. I've got lots of 700's and never done it to one of my own. I tend...

Those of you that are running a 6.5 creedmoor what is your seating depth/COAL with the berger 140 vld? Also how much freebore did your reamer have? Just trying to determine if I can kiss the lands with a 140 vld and still fit in a standard rem short action. I know the creedmoor offers a little...

How much freebore do you guys run on your 260 reamers? I'd like to be able to feed from a standard 700 mag box and still kiss the lands with a 140 amax or vld. can I do that with a standard spec zero freebore reamer? Bb

I picked up a few Weaver tactical 3-10x40's from midway lately. They seem like decent glass for the price. I'm wondering if anyone knows what power setting the mil dot retical reads in mils? It looks to me like it reads mils on the 10 power setting I'm just trying to confirm it. Thanks, Bb
