The firearms industry seems blessed with some of the very best customer service (Dillon) and cursed with some of the worst (you know who they are). This is a shoutout to MDT. Someone always answers the phone and is always knowledgeable and helpful. This past week, they outdid themselves. I...

With 300 WSM brass coming from Lapua and others this year, who favors 300 WSM over 7 SAUM for elk and long range shooting?

This is buried in the CDG thread but thought it would get more attention here. Assembling CDG long action in Manners LRH stock with bdl bottom metal with extended Wyatt box magazine. Stock needed to be inlet to clear the trigger hanger. Not a big deal. A bigger deal is the Wyatt box hits the...

I would appreciate some advice for a suppressor purchase. I have a few but none for a hunting rifle. Calibers are 7 SAUM, 300 PRC, and 300 Norma Mag. Priorities are: Fits over a muzzle brake. Can be swapped from one rifle to another. Lightweight. As short as possible. Quick detach. Value...

What was once a Defiance Rebel in a McMillan Hunters Edge stock LA with BDL inlet with a number 3 contour barrel chambered in 300 WM from I think a well known barrel manufacturer is now something else. What have left is the stock, the barrel, and the BDL box and spring. No bottom metal. No...

I purchased 6.5 140 gr soft point bullets from Rocky Mountain Reloading earlier this year and forgot what they are. They are a soft point but look more like a hollow point that's been filled with lead. There is no visible lead looking from the side. Has anyone else purchased these and done a...

I was searching for information on Alliant powder supply and most posts are from 2020 even on here. Has everyone given up? Aside from Reloder 16 very recently and a few pistol powders, nothing! I understand these powders are made in Australia. Any reason for hope? May have to find a...

I love my Impact actions. This is not a complaint. Impact short action shooting 7 Saum. There is a decided hitch at the top on opening. It is more pronounced with hotter loads. No other pressure signs. Is this cock on opening normal or would a different trigger hanger make this less...

Mausingfield M7, Proof CF, Manners EH-5. Nothing to see here, right? Look closer. Guess MCS really does love their work. Is anyone else getting hidden messages?

Does anyone have a drawing of the Absolute Hammer bullets, ideally 7 mm and .308? What I am trying to do is decide on a starting COAL. Since the bullet does not touch the rifling until the last inch or so, distance off the lands is not going to work. Seating the bullet so the back end which...

Jumped in the deep end and ordered a prefit barrel .45 cal muzzleloader from Patriot Valley Arms. The barrel arrived along with a muzzle brake, a section of the barrel, screw-in bolt, and a bag of primer cups. I reload for a dozen calibers but never loaded a muzzleloader. Any and all advice...

I have built a number of long barrel, long range elk rifles, 300 WM, 300 PRC, and 300 NM with 26 to 28 inch barrels. All successful. Goal for next build is shorter barrel, suppressed, lighter weight rifle for big elk (850 pounds) inside 300 yards. I plan to rebarrel an Origin short action or...

Now the heavier .308 LRX bullets have become unobtanium. Barnes says all their shipments are going to Cabela's who don't do mail orders. The nearest stores are one and a half and five hours away. Has anyone seen the 200, 209, or 212 Barnes LRX bullets recently? Thanks for the intel. It's...

On of the many things I like about Accuracy International rifles is the bolt knob is well clear of the scope. I understand that with proper manipulation of the bolt, the clearance between the knuckle on your thumb and the scope should not be a problem. However…. Does any other modern action...

I am trying to build a rifle in 300 Norma Mag for the Barnes 212 gr Bore Rider with recommended COAL of 3.845. Is my only option BDL with a Wyatt's extended box? Will that box work with an Impact LA or the Mausingfield M7 with a Lapua bolt of course and Hawkins M5 Obendorf BDL bottom metal...

Negligent discharge. Sorry

I have a barrel with LongRifles, Inc. and need a bit of education on freebore before I discuss where this build is going with Chad. My goal is to shoot the Barnes 212 gr bore rider in a 300 Norma Mag. So no one needs to look this up, what is unique about the bore rider is the bullet is...

I'm about to start a load workup for a Mausingfield M7 action. My standard procedure is to start low and move higher watching for signs of pressure and load below that maximum. Will this work with the Mausingfield bolt head and ejector design? No ejector marks to look for obviously and I'm...

I tried this in the reloading section without success. I am building a new rifle: 300 Norma Mag, Mausingfield action. Manners EH5 stock. My problem is I am hoping to run the Barnes 212 gr Bore Rider bullet with a 3.95 recommended COAL. My preference is BDL for hunting but a five-round or...
