    Gunsmithing stiller tac 30, how true are they??

    I actually can put as much pressure as I want on the mag and cycle the bolt and I don't get any contact. I also run a timney trigger and did not have to mill any aluminum out to fit it?? I wonder if they fixed these problems with the new 1.5 stocks. ..

    Gunsmithing stiller tac 30, how true are they??

    sorry for the small picture. that's the finished product, my smith trued up the face a small amount ( probably not truly needed but he is anal like that) other than that all the action specs were great and very true. the gun shoots every thing i run through it to half moa at 200 yards. I decided...

    reloader 15 + 7mm 08 ???

    how fast could do you think 140 g bullets would fly safely? I know all guns are different but a rough estimate? I know they will go a lot faster than what my reloading manuel says. . .

    Range Report quikload FAVOR??

    in my opinion, quikload should encourage sharing their info and getting their name out their, its not like you can try their software to see how good it is. so the only way people will pay that huge price is if they can know for sure that what their buying is worth it, thus sharing the knowledge...

    Alliant reloader 15 vs varget ?

    just start with the minimum in the book and work up .3 at a time till you find the sweet spot. as stated above r 15 worked excellent for me.

    reloader 15 + 7mm 08 ???

    I have read a lot about the powders of choice for a 7mm 08 and the general consensus is that h 4350, varget, and r 17 are the preferred powders for the heavy bullets (162-168). being that r 15 has a burn rate almost identical to varget how would it do with the 7mm 08 and heavies? any experiences?

    Rifle Scopes Help deciding on scope

    I can personally vouch for the viper pst's on their tracking, I do a lot of shooting, often to 1000, so theirs a lot of adjustment to be done on the elevation turret and it along with my sightron siii have always tracked perfectly. The thing with scopes is that once you jump on the shooting...

    Gunsmithing stiller tac 30, how true are they??

    i have heard that with the deep flutes on the stiller tac 30 bolt they will sometimes get hung up on the mag lips when running It with a dbm, have any of you guys any insight on this? or know the cure?
