    300 Win Mag or ?

    Since you're a handloader, straight 284 or 284 Shehane. If you're doing paper punching, the 300WM is more than required. I think you'll find that the 284 is easier to get to shoot smaller at long distance.

    22-250 Powder Selections

    I tried AA2230, Benchmark, Reloader 10x and a few others. My 22-250 did best with Reloder 10x.

    .300 Win Mag vs. .300 Remington Ultra Mag

    Your smith should've been provided a drawing of the reamer when he was supplied the reamer. That is typically how PTG does it. They do however keep records. You can probably call them and tell them who they sent the reamer to, and they can pull it up in their system. Going off of that, I...

    .300 Win Mag vs. .300 Remington Ultra Mag

    You can't predetermine what bullet the rifle will like but you CAN steer the odds. If you want to shoot the 208's, then I would make sure that the reamer is ground with that bullet combo in mind. Having the freebore/leade properly set with the reamer makes all the difference in the world...

    CZ 550 American or Reminton 700 or Tikka in .243

    Yes and no. One caveat... the 550's are normal, the 527's (the 223's) are not... they're backwards like the rimfires. :)

    Turret Control on Long Range

    Target scopes with target style knobs will usually have horizontal marks under the rings to tell you where you are. If you make note of the horizontal line the ring is sitting on (which can be tough sometimes) then you can tell how much you've come up. Otherwise, it's handy to have a scope...

    Remington 721 Experiences and opinions

    That or the sear being stuck from 40 years of gummed up oil/gun lube/dirt/etc. The beef of course is that the safety locks the bolt. Even the the older 700's were this way. The retrofit changes this. If the trigger is properly cleaned, you shouldn't have any issues. I had to completely...

    What caliber to rechamber Rem 700 for tiny groups at 1000

    You could still do what you're wanting with a short action. A custom rebarrel in 6.5CM, 260, 6XC, 243, 243AI, and so on. IMHO all of those would be an improvement over your stock 308 and depending on how well you built it up and worked up the loads (critical) could potentially print some very...

    Any wildcat cartridge shooters out there?

    Hornady FTX Seater Plug

    You CAN get one from RCBS, but if you've got a stem for spitzers handy, just swap it out. The Lee dies I use for 30/30 seemed to work ok but for my 500 S&W I had to borrow the stem from my 416 Rigby dies.

    Trouble with Remington 338 Lapua

    If it shot a sub 10" group at 1000 yards I definitely think the potential is there. I think it's way too early in the discussion to decide whether or not you've got a bad barrel. How often are you cleaning the rifle? How long does it take to clean it up? Has the rifle been bedded? Is the...

    New 300 Barrel

    If you can't find exactly what you're looking for (a #17 which is what most mfgs call the Sendero), find a 'smith that'll turn down a barrel for you. That way if you find a contour that is larger you can just have it turned down to fit. Grizzly tool has Bartlein barrels in stock. Bruno...

    7.62x39 rifle options.......

    Saiga? What about a CZ 527 Carbine? Then you'd have a bolt gun in 762x39. :)

    Rifle Dies - Help Me Decide

    The Redding Series designation has nothing to do with quality. All of the Redding dies are made to the same standard. The Series has to do with commonality which is why the cost of the Series A is lower. They make more 308 Winchester, 30'06, etc. so more volume, thus less cost. Here's a...

    Talk me into H110/Win296 for 357mag

    .243 Bench rifle

    If your gunsmith cant or wont cut metric threads, you should find another gunsmith. :) Metric isn't any harder to cut than standard. :) Otherwise it's just the same as rebarreling anything else. A Stevens 200 build would be a nice way to get started. I've got a brand new one in the safe...

    50 BMG Case Preparation

    For the trimmer, I'd look at the Lyman. Good value for the casual 50 BMG reloader. - Midway, Grafs, Cabela's, not hard to find. Deburring tool - Also Lyman (they have a 50 BMG tool) Primer pocket swager - CH4D. Period. You can order it direct from CH4D.

    .243 Bench rifle

    I just built a sweet custom bench rig on a CZ-550 action. I couldn't be happier. Problem is it's not factory, and it's not cheap. The problem for me with a factory 243 bench rig, or buying one for that, would be twist, and it sounds like you're looking for a factory setup. The typical twist...
