If it helps any I got a bunch of imr4895 early this summer and ended up at 46.6 with 175smk after a round of ocw. It did not perform as well as slower powders have for me.

"measure your land" is free and I use it all the time when shooting on my property and it works great.

My 700 does the same thing in a Tupperware stock and a nice hs precision. I'm going with a new barrel and hoping it gets more accurate and less heat sensitive.

The guy doing it uses badger lugs. Why is a fancy bolt release better than stock?

I'm having a new barrel put on a rem 700. The action is going to get trued, barrel installed, and muzzle threaded locally. The reamer is the serengeti 30-06 from ptg and barrel is stainless bartlien. It's going in a hs precision 026 and I plan to bed it myself. Anything else I should do...

Prices include barrel, threaded muzzle, and local guy also uses badger recoil lug. GAP was similar price but I'd have to pay shipping and wait 3-4 months.... Looked into the longrifles thing and they were a bit cheaper, but I'd have to buy the barrel(pay shipping on it) then ship it all to...

I would love to, but I can't justify a $4k rifle and $3k scope. My question is really about the relative trade off.... Obviously it will get better with a good barrel, but could $900 in ammo(about 1500 rds of the best load I've found) improve my skill enough to get better results than a new...

Summary: have pencil barrel rem 700 in a nice stock with decent scope. I can shoot right around 1moa depending on the load. I have ocw'd my heart out and can't get it any better. The group size opens up quickly once the barrel gets hot. I asked here and a few people who seem to have a clue...

Appreciate the recommendations, but none are in northern Alabama or central Tennessee...

Pencil barrel, rounds only in gun a few seconds before firing. Recommendations for a good gunsmith in the Nashville/Huntsville area? Gap says 2-3 months just to true it and put a barrel on. Would prefer somebody who stocks barrels so I don't have to wait on a barrel first, then wait on...

I shot two rounds(one each load), waited a few minutes, repeat. All 20 rounds in about 30 minutes. Not very fast... I've thought about painting the barrel, would probably help in the sun? The matte black finish on the barrel seems like nearly a perfect black body to absorb the sun!

How about pictures! Shooting in the sun: http://i.imgur.com/npmKRj3l.jpg Shooting in the shade: http://i.imgur.com/AAxTLy6l.jpg

I have noticed a change in accuracy based on shooting in the sun or shade so Today I shot two different loads both in the sun and in the shade while evaluating differences in brass. Loads are all identical except for two different lots of brass. All components from the same containers, same...

"Measure your land" on iPhone is free and works great.

I used a lee loader and a $20 digital scale from eBay and got very consistent under 1 moa from a $400 dicks special rem 700. The cheap scales maybe not be ultra accurate, but they are generally very repeatable which is what is important. Do ocw with a cheap digital scale and you'll get decent...

I was going to get a mk6 to replace a swfa ss(10x). Is it worth the cost? I would buy it at the fed/mil price, but even that is a big number. I've never shot the same gun back to back with such drastically different scopes. The gun shoots barely under 1 moa now and a nearby range I use...

The ammo was all loaded the same, no change in oal. Primers were from the same box. Brass is all from the same lot and even the same physical case.

About 1 in 20 cases are difficult to close the bolt. I neck sized only, 1 full length size and the hard to chamber cases are smooth as silk. No bolt lift issues. The 168 Amax rounds I made 3.26 and the 175 smk are 3.33. Primers are fed LR in the Amax rounds and Fed LR magnum in the...

I appreciate the input, here are two other loads I shot at the same time as the bad group above. These two loads shoot like this all the time and are very consistent. In other words, the rifle and myself were operating normally. Not sure what was going on but I'm going to fine tune the...

I had asked some questions a few months ago when I started reloading rifle ammo for the purpose of better accuracy. I started with a lee loader just to try out the load development process. When I fessed up in my thread about the lee loader of course everybody jumped on that as the cause of...
