    Question about a better 700 trigger

    There are more than a few out there now. For a bullet proof target trigger for a 700, what would be a good choice?

    basic reloading question

    If a bullet is reloaded .007" into the lands will that create more pressure or less. (will it even be significant). Also, the people which push the bullets up that far, do they have trued actions and barrels in order to get away from the "jump" of the round going off? Thankyou all in advanced

    Question about a light palma barrel.

    How hot does a light palma barrel need to get before it gets unpreditable? The reason why I am asking this question is, for the first 25 rounds everything was great. 100yards to 1000yards, it shot on the nose. Then all of a sudden, I start shooting high and right. This was all the way from...
