Yeah spare parts were a little bit of an issue... that's why it was a project. It took me awhile to find the buffer spring. I found one finally, and it is on it's way. The original one went missing and the previous owner decided to make a spacer out of wood to take its place... plus the...

Thanks for the info! I have two boxes of professionally loaded ammo that was re-sized from new 30 Rem brass, and Buffalo Arms has brass that is backordered but a call to them said 2 months timeframe on that. I figured the Ballistic tip would be a good choice, the minimum impact velocity...

I decided to finish up some old projects laying around and one of those was a Remington model 8 semi-auto chambered in 25 Remington. The 25 Remington is basically a rimless 25-35 Winchester. The Winchester was chambered in lever guns and the 25 Remington was mostly used in the model 14 pump...

Mine was butchered, although not quite as bad. I opened the bolt face to a magnum and turned it into a 375 Ruger. its a good gun for big cartridges. I put it in a MPI synthetic stock and put a Leupold 2.5-8 on it. Collector value on these guns is only if the rear sight "wings" are on there...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the holes should be located on a factory drilled and tapped MKII receiver. There are 3, 2 in front of the ejection port and one to the rear. It looks like I could just straddle the ejection port evenly with the rear and middle screw, but would like...

By 1x the diameter, you mean you would seat a .338 bullet .338 inches from the lands? I've called the Sierra tech line, they are great to talk to, and i forgot to ask them this question. i have some loaded with RL19 to try, if I dont see anything promising I will try more jump.

Well that was easy. I read through the Brownells catalog all the time, and that tool must not have made it into the last one. I dont usually use the website, and I didnt check. Thank you for the quick reply! Also, the website says its on pg 454 and its not on page 454 of the catalog i have...

Loading for a 338 win mag, attempting to load a long range target round with 250 grain Sierra Matchkings. I have loaded a few different hunting rounds, including a 225 grain Hornaday Interbond that shoots 3 shot groups .350" center to center, so I know the gun is capable of decent accuracy...

I used a scope leveler to mount a few scopes that I cant seem to find now. It had 2 "V" shapes, one to rest on the scope, one to rest on the barrel, and a level on top. It was sold in Brownells a few years ago, and not in the catalog anymore. It was great to use, as you could easily level the...

I have a Ruger Single Six that shoots a touch high even with the rear sight all the way down. Anyone know where I might find a taller replacement front sight? I looked at Brownells and a couple other places and haven't found one. Thanks

Well thank you all for the replies. Someday I will have to splurge and buy some more components to work with. These bigger cartridges aren't cheap. Maybe I will just have to build another gun that is cheaper to shoot!

Question for those who don't weigh brass: If you don't weigh it, what kind of accuracy do you expect? This is a blueprinted 700 with a Shilen barrel, bedded in a High Tech Specialties stock, with a Leupold 4.5-14 Mark 4 scope, and I am hoping to shoot 600 yards with MOA accuracy. If you don't...

How much does case weight variation actually affect accuracy? I've been searching, but haven't seen any real examples. I'm loading for a 338 Win Mag, using 250 grain Sierra Matchkings for target shooting. The gun is a Rem 700 with a Shilen barrel. I weighed 100 sized and trimmed cases...

Thanks for the quick feedback, I'm going to go weigh powder right now. Those 250 grain Matchkings look great sticking out of the 338 case...

I have heard a few different suggestions for how much to increase a charge when working up a load. For standard size rifle cartridges, half grain increments seem to be the norm. My buddy claims for big cases, like the 375 Ruger we both shoot, that half grains are a waste of time, and 1 grain...

Wow thanks for all the input. I will be using it for multiple styles of shooting and hunting. I am going to school in high desert country in northern California, but if I drive 10 minutes west its all forest. I guess the good thing is that bi-pods do go on and off easy enough, so I'll just...

I see more and more rifles with bi-pods on them, and was wondering if they are worth it. I built myself a tacticool Remington 700, and want to use it for hunting and target shooting. Its a 338 Win Mag, and for shooting off a bench I could see myself using a bi-pod, and it would come off easy...

100 percent NIB blue book is 650, with a 60 percent gun at 150. Add 15 percent for 25 cal. Kinda crazy how much of a difference there is in blue book and real life prices.

I have the Nosler #5, but its not their newest. I need to invest in the Sierra one, but lack the funds right now.

I want to load some target loads for my Rem 700 in 338 Win Mag. I am going to try 250 grain Sierra MatchKings first. What powders burn good in the 338 with bigger bullets? Also, I need to work up a load for bear hunting this fall, and may be using some lighter bullets, like Barnes, so any...
