    Solid copper bullets

    I use 168 ttsx in my 308 and they're great for whitetail. The 180 ttsx out of my 300wm 3000 fps are like the hammer of Thor.

    .308 reloads

    That's a Remington chamber. Mile long free bore. Just start at max mag length and seat .005" deeper till you find one that shoots well.

    Frankford wet tumbler

    I've done 7-8 batches with mine and have no complaints. Good thick rubber coating in the drum and I like the timer feature on the motor. Get the magnet media separator.

    rem 700 AAC acurracy

    I got a shitty one. 2 moa at best with numerous different handloads, HS precision stock and a jewell trigger. I gave up and re barreled it. Chattered threads, .005" out of concentricity and a piss poor crown. Shoots consistent 3/8 moa now. This is my second dud 700. I'll only custom build from...

    What is the best why to make Ackley brass for a 223

    You can just fire a standard 223 in the Ackley chamber. If you want to save components and barrel life, you can use the COW (cream of wheat) method to form the body and shoulders.

    45/70 Reduced Loads

    I shoot 405 cast over 13 gr of trail boss. Not sure if the velocity, but I figure is around 1000 fps. Very accurate or to 100 as well.

    Remington AAC-SD 308 best grouping loads

    My aac-sd shot like shit. 2 moa with several powder and bullet combinations along with an HS stock and jewell trigger. .187" freebore was a joke. After wasting enough money on powder and bullets to just about pay for a barrel, I gave up and re barreled it. Solid 3/8 moa now.

    Yeah, it's a bobby hart. No block though. I did a devcon bedding job on it. I've got a total of $600 tied up in the whole rig.

    I bought a savage! Been a Remmy guy, for TOO long.

    I love Remington 700s and own 10 of them including 6 customs. But, I've been wanting to try an Ackley improved cartridge and didn't want to invest a couple grand into it. Just put together a Savage build in 6mmAI. Still doing load development but it looks promising.

    Anybody got any info on 6.5-06?

    I love mine. Easy to form brass and great performance. I get 3040 fps from a 120 smk with .25moa accuracy. I haven't taken mine to extreme long range but 600 and in is a chip shot.

    Too many spare parts and too much spare time...gets you a new rifle

    I forgot to cancel a back ordered jewell trigger once. When it showed up, I figured hell, I'll build another rifle.

    Rem700 AAC-SD loads?

    My aac-sd must have been built on a Monday by the guy with a terrible hangover. 2 moa is the best it would do with 6 different bullets and 3 powders, along with a bedded hs stock and jewel trigger upgrade. I gave up and re barreled it. 3/8 moa now.

    223 to 260 what needs to be done?

    It's a different bolt face. You'll have to get a new bolt or machine your existing one. You'll be better off just finding a cheap donor R700 with the correct bolt face. More trouble than it's worth.
