Welcome! Middle Tn here.

My gut was in the $800-$900 range! Thanks G45! I feel more confident with an $800 offer!

I have the opportunity to purchase a S&W 29-6 with a 6" barrel in blue. The revolver is new in the box. I'm having trouble finding a comparable that has sold as of recent. What is the value of a new in the box 29-6? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome! Middle Tn here. I would just buy a Rem 700 5r or 700p in 308 and be done! Shoot the shit out of it, and upgrade the rifle as money allows. Don't forget that optics are as important as the rifle. As for reloading, order the Lyman reloading manual and read,read,read! A RCBS single stage...

Welcome Kris! Middle Tn here also! About a hour south of Hendersonville. Ai Ae MK3-Wow! Nice setup!

Welcome from Middle Tn! Go Vols!

Do you want FFP/SFP? What is your price range? What type shooting do you primarily do?

Roger that! Thanks 95LTZ. I will give it a try, however, my expectations are that I will not even hit the target!

Wow! Amazing shooting! I would like to try my m1a at 1000 with irons, however, I have no clue where to start? Come-up/clicks? 175 FGMM. Anyone have any 500 to 1000 yard charts for 168 and 175 FGMM in a m1a?

Welcome! Hello from another Middle Tn guy! Columbia!

Makes perfect sense mcfred. Thanks! However this weekend while shooting the new 260, new Nosler 260 brass fired perfectly. No problems with accuracy or extraction. New Remington 260 brass did not fair so well. Every case was stuck after firing. Nosler brass was measured .002 smaller at the point...

Welcome! Ha, Ha, Ha! You're going to need a second job to support this habit!

I'm speechless!

Thanks dinc! That's a smart observation, however, that's probably above my mechanical abilities. I may give a shot though, I may learn something! I will definitely give an update after this weekend! Your right, what I paid for this build, I want everything right!

Thanks! I will definitely try the small base die. I'm going to order one tonight! That may solve my problem. I never thought of that! Thanks again!

Rough spot in chamber or chatter marks makes sense to me. Seems like a logical cause! Everyone has been very informative. I have learned a wealth of info from this thread! Thanks again! I will also try new brass and ammo!

The rings on the brass were not there before I chambered and fired them! It felt as if the ring marks were the sticking point in the chamber! I'm guessing though! Thanks again!

Thanks Dave! Brass has been fired twice in a different rifle, which may be the problem. Different chamber dimensions makes perfect sense. I think a tight chamber on one end, along with brass issues, could be the source of my problems. I will call the smith today and get dimensions! Thank you all...

These were the first rounds on a freshly chambered Rock Creek barrel. The build was put together by a competent smith that was highly recommended on this site.
