I use 39 gr IMR 3031 / 175gr SMK's (max load per Sierra's data) and I've gotten up to four loadings, no problem. I neck size and have annealed the cases after the third loading. So far the primer pockets are doing their job. I have not seen any high pressure signs, nor have I seen any high...

I've got a Remington 700 that I would like to upgrade the stock on. It has a pencil barrel with about 2000 rounds of .30-06 through it and I'm thinking it may still have enough life in it that I don't want to replace it just yet. In the mean time, I'd like to put it into a Manners mini...

I hope this isn't too much of a threadjack, but how do Remington 700 contours translate to the FN SPR A2/A4 24" rifle (as found on http://www.tacticalcoordination.com/)? Is it more like the Remington Sendero, Varmint, or M 24?

I wish I'd been able to read this in 2008 when I was shopping for a long range rifle. Although I made the right choice between .308 and .30-06 for my hunting rifle, there were other caliber selections (like the 7mm's that you listed) that may have been a better choice. At the time I had wanted...

I've got a .30-06 R700 ADL (pencil bbl / hunting rifle) and have had great luck finding ammo at Wal Mart during the shortage. I reload using the Hornady manual and was surprised to see that the max loads for .30-06 fall into the mid-range of identical bullet loadings for the .300 Win Mag. I'm...

I was actually thinking about how I might be able to employ washers in my stock. Glad I came back to this thread!

I was in a similar positions recently. I had it narrowed down to S&B PMII 5-25 and PMII 3-20. I went with the 5-25 for a number of reasons: 1) The MTC knobs are not particularly popular - I wanted DT and you can't get those with the PMII 3-20 right now 2) Price - for the price of a 3-20 w/...

Good to hear it is nothing serious. I guess I have some more amateur gunsmithing in my future and a story to tell. Thanks for the the responses!

Here's a pic. Couldn't get it to upload from my phone..

I have an "idiot mark" on my first 1911 and was kind of feeling I'd been down this path before...

I recently torqued my action onto the stock more than my plastic ADL stock could handle. The front action screw protruded enough to leave a small scratch on my bottom bolt lug. How bad is this for the gun?

Is it possible to alter the headspace enough to cause an overpressure situation by removing an action/barrel/trigger from the stock, then re-installing it?

There is a guy on reddit.com/r/guns who is very knowledgeable about Enfields. He did a post recently on them. I'd go search that subreddit.

Another vote for KG 1 and KG 12. I use KG 1 every time I clean my bore and use KG 12 every 10 cleanings or so (I don't strip all the copper out either, just run a couple patches). Both are mild-smelling and I have yet to see any giant bats fly through my gun room while using the stuff.

Nice! I wasn't sure how big the squares were. I've got a Remington 700 ADL .30-06 and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I get 1MOA at 100 on a good day and am thinking I want to put a decent light weight stock on it. The manners mini chassis with T4 or T4A seemed like a...

What were your groupings like before the bedding vs after? Is that 1 inch at 100 yards? or at 200?

I've got the same rifle / same configuration on order and have almost the exact same scope (only difference... I've got DT dials). I'll let you know once I get my rifle. For now, I've been running my PM II on a 20MOA base on my Remington 700 .30-06 (~22" bbl). I also have the LT 111 mount...

Left-handed and right-eye dominant here. I shoot long range / tactical carbine right handed and pistol left-handed using my right eye. Have you tried shooting right-handed? I've got the oddball cross-dominance thing going on so I end up mostly ambidextrous with shooting.

What kind of accuracy were you getting before using the AICS? Was your previous stock the default SPS stock?

That sounds absolutely awesome! Thanks. pm inbound.
