Thanks for information on torquing of screws, I was not sure, but there is nothing under the recoil lug anymore, that was something I tried when I was having issues with gun.

Well, guys, I'm not so happy to say, but relieved to say that this gun that I bought for my son, does not like any factory ammo at all or perhaps the combination of powder,bullet, and seating depth that weatherby,hornady, or remington ammo uses. I have tried everything to make factory work, and...

Okay, shot some new loads through this gun that are proven on another gun of the same model and type and caliber. Best I could get was 3.875 group, crazy right? Well, I received my modified brass today for the 257 wby and to my surprise, the OAL with a Barnes ttsx 100 grain bullet was 3.08...

Thanks to everyone for all their input, backing off the die and driving the plunger down did the trick. Did a few more loads with no problems at all, well, with the loads anyways, the gun so far is very questionable, but that is in another thread. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE !!!!!!

308, sorry, thought I mentioned that......my bad

So I finally get a day off, but wind is gusting 20mph, there is a shooting range that offers 50yd indoor range. I need to check several loads on several rifles but don't get many days off, any opinions?

bench, with sand bags, little to no wind, maybe 3-5mph. Trigger seems to be crisp, however I would like to adjust down a bit. no longer have shim under lug, was just experimenting since I was expecting floating barrel, apparently it should not be. Going to try some reloads tomorrow, hopefully...

It's a bolt action single shot, there is no magazine, so it would most likely have to stay that way, right? I'm fine with that, just want to convert to something else. I figured the action would have to be changed, but, what would be a good caliber to go to, since I will need custom work done...

I shoot a Ruger M77 Mk II in 220 swift and have had good groups using 40.8 grains of IMR 4350 with a 55G Sierra blitzking, CCI mag primer. Groups have been .37 to .5 depending on conditions and of course me. I just received my Hornandy lock n load modified case to play around with seating depth...

I have a Remington Model 40-x barrel with remington bolt action in 22LR, and was really wanting some opinions on how to get this done in another caliber, I know it would need a lot of changes. I do not shoot it much as is and would like to get it into another short action that is a good tack...

Have a remington 700P that I am fixing to reload for, my hornady/Stoneypoint modified case is coming in tomorrow so I can find the OAL on this gun and I'm wondering if anyone has worked with this particular model and if they tested out different seating depths to get an idea. I have read here...

300 is not bad, I'm willing to ditch that out to make it shoot good, just sad that it would have to be done with rifle that one would think should do 1 moa @100yds. Not to judge Remington, well, maybe I should.....but my Tikka continental in 7mm gave me .5 -- 1 moa right out of the box with a...

Your right on the gun description, and remington did not seemed shocked when I told them that it was not floating, probably rolled their eyes, nevertheless, I just thought most guns shoot better with no interference on the barrel vibration from the stock. As for the grease on the bolt, what...

I will try that today, thanks for the good advice

Hello guys, it's me again, thought I would bring up another challenge that I am having, seems like a black cloud is following me here lately. I purchased a brand new Remington 700 CDL SF in a 257 weatherby magnum, after inspecting rifle, I cleaned barrel and put a couple of drops of oil in...
