    Gunsmithing Shilen trigger creep/"slam fire", and how I fixed it.

    I recently purchased a Shilen trigger to replace my Rem 700P 40xLE trigger. I had already performed a trigger job on the 40x, and had a crisp, no creep, zero overtravel 2 1/2 pound pull. That was as low as I could get it and have it break at the same weight (+/- 1.5 oz) with every pull. I...

    Range Report Remington 700P accuraccy

    I found on another site some tests 168gr "match" ammo fired out of a 700P. They got an avereage group of .87 with FGMM, and they werent counting "flyers". This doesnt seem too out of line with what I got. Untill I can try out some more loads, I'll have to reserve judgement. The only other loads...

    Range Report Remington 700P accuraccy

    I'll be trying some more loads, some HSM 168gr match, and LC M118LR. I have a Tac Ops cheek pad on the way, perhaps it will help with my cheek weld. The M4 Med rings are a bit high for me. I can shoot my AR under 1MOA all day with a 4 power optic, so I was hoping for better accuracy from a bolt...

    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

    Agreed, but if you used the same dope for the .243, you'de be way off. The chart I posted for the 260 gives ur dope from a 100y zero.

    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

    If thats your dope from a 100y zero, youd be hitting short. You'de need about 12 mils for 930. I think you might have been hitting short. You may have been seeing your riccocet impacting target area. This would explain the erratic hits left and right.

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    I wish the app could tell you what your zero will be when switching loads, e.g. If I zeroed with 168gr @ 100 yards, what will my zero change to by switching to a 175gr load.

    Range Report Remington 700P accuraccy

    Perhaps my expectations are too high, but I was hoping for better accuracy from my 700P. Do these groups represent typical accuracy for a factory gun, or did I get a lemon (or maybe screw it up, somehow)? FYI: 5 groups fired clock wise from top left and center last. 3 shots fired beforehand to...
