A buddy of mine has the same gun as me. Remington 700 SPS .300 Win. Mag. The only difference between the two is mine is stainless. The recoil is very pronounced. I decided to buy a clamp on brake for mine. What a world of difference! It's one thing to shoot a rifle then have a brake installed...

You know, that's the way I think I'll go. Thanks, Joe

I have an old Springfield Mil-Spec from the 80's and wanted to upgrade the rear sights with an adjustable set but I don't know what type of dovetail is cut in the slide for the non-adjustable rear sight that is on there now. It has a pinned front sight. Also, what rear sights would you recommend...

I shoot a 700 VTR in .308. One of the ones that love it. I use 45 grains of Varget in Remington cases, with Hornady match 168 gr. bullets. Loaded to an OAL of 2.810. I do have it mounted in a B&C A2 stock. I did work up to that load. Good luck, Joe

I've been reloading for my hunting guns for years, looking into precision loading. This is one great article. The write up and pictures are first class. I guess I have to rewrite that Christmas list. Joe

I just reloaded 300 rounds of .357 with standard small pistol primers (Winchester) and had no problems out of three different revolvers. Used 4227 IMR powder. Joe

Good morning, Thank you for calling Old Forge (Old Forge Precision). Yes sir, all of our rifles start with our legendary receiver, The Anvil. Tooled from one piece of billet steel and made sledgehammer tough. If you would like, we can add a barrel to a short action Anvil, it's our Lighting Rod...

10% liquid lanolin and 90% isopropyl alcohol (iso heat gas line dryer). I've been using this for years with great results. Good luck, Joe

2Shots I've never heard of the water and pins method. Can you please explain it to me. Joe

Sentry1, your brass should be clean on the outside so as to not scratch your dies or dent your brass. I was looking to make mine pretty after they go through the dies. Joe

Cornhusker, you are correct sir. But I'm really bored and feel like trying something new. Thank you to all that have given me different ideas. Joe

What are some of the liquids that you guys add to your tumblers to make brass really shiny? Joe

I was looking at a Millett to put on top of a .308 VTR that I have. Long story short, I when with the SWFA SS 20X42 fixed power scope. A little back ground on my type of shooting. I hunt the killer paper target. That's it. The longest that I shoot is 200 yards. I just can't find a longer range...

Roggom what you say makes sense. Both guns are shot off of a bench and I know I'm not getting the same tension on the bipod each time. I'll have to try both from a mat. Thanks, Joe

I may be wrong but I've noticed that different guns like different rests. I attached a bipod on a 24" full floating, heavy bull barreled AR and it shot "ok". folded the bipod and shot the gun off of a bag and the groups got tighter. A 700 Remington that I shoot is completely different. It shoots...

I have had the same problem with almost the same gun (.300WM). What I did was take a Bell & Carlson stock off of a 30-06 that I had in the safe and tried it on the .300 and no more flyers. A bedded stock does wonders. Joe

Everyone either has one or will see an old Black & Decker work mate at a yard sale. The vise will close at odd angles, and it comes two ways, a floor or bench model. Joe

Just one thing.....Chronograph. Joe

Is it the 700 Remington XCR long range tactical? 26" fluted barrel, stainless steel with the black trinyde (spelling) coating. Bell & Carlson A3 stock, and a 40X trigger. I envy you. I had one on order at a local shop since the new year. I was told that they had no idea when the gun would be...

Thanks for all the advice. I will go slow, no crony yet (on my short list). Just wanted to make sure I don't do any damage. Joe
