    How long in barrel?

    I asked the same question not long ago and the answers I got varied anywhere from all season to years. Didn't have one report of a misfire from leaving the charge in the barrel.

    Rem 700 Issue...Photo Attached

    Looks to me like Remington is trying out a new manufacturing method. Doesn't appear to have any what I'll call "finish machining" on the bolt face. It's about the worst example of a bolt face I've ever seen for that matter. If it were mine I'd definitely send it back!

    Peening of steel sights when installed?

    You're making the perfect example of a mis-conception that a softer material, in this case brass, can not dent or deform a harder material, in this case steel. The amount the steel will deform is much smaller than the brass but with a healthy hit it will occur. Most notably it'll occur along...

    Savage Stocks from Boyd's

    Agree with all the rest. Some slight fitting may be required but I've always been pleased with the improvement over plastic stocks. I've learned to like the thumbhole models myself but they make other models of course.

    Why not Benchmark for 223?

    Benchmark has worked excellently for me, especially in my 60gr - 65gr loadings. Don't know it it'll work the same in other loadings but I'd bet it would. hostjunkies.... 4198 was a very accurate powder for me in 223... just never gave me quite the same velocity as others.

    got the neck re-sizing blues

    as an add.... when you full length size the harder the neck is the more it'll spring back - smaller. Lee's collet die in function is the opposite, harder brass will spring back more making the neck size larger than softer brass. You didn't state specifics as to the number of firings of the...

    Stock replacement on remington 700 SPS Varminter

    6 of one half dozen of another......... B&C is generally heavier..... you really need to see if you can lay hands on both if you can and see your preference. Everyone "fits" different, it's personal don't ya know!

    Accurate #9 Experience in 44 Mag?

    Works fine for me with standard primers, it's just not that good of a "magnum" powder as say 296 or 2400 IMO..... the loadings from Accurate have worked fine for me and accuracy is decent.

    A Polishing Question

    I've converted one side of my bench grinder for a polishing wheel but have run into something I didn't expect so am asking. I'm new to polishing sp have a lot to learn. Problem I'm having is the "wheel" a open, unsewn sisal throws off a LOT of threads even just applying the green polishing...

    How many ft-pounds would discourage most amateur marauders?

    Given the situation I read you're trying to pose, the first question I would ask "myself" is whether I wish to run the people off or do what I could for as long as it was peaceably possible to help people. Just a basic question I'd be asking myself as the situation presents one of "the law" not...

    Win 231 and other Win powders

    rookie mistake; wwyd?

    Personally if you're using new brass or brass that's annealed I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt you'll have any problem but should you I think the best crimp you can use is the Lee factory crimp. A very light crimp goes a long way and it doesn't distort the case unless misused.

    Hornady SST or Sierra Gameking for whitetails

    In my experience either one makes no difference, they're pretty similar in construction and performance! That said no problem with either so long as shot placement is what it should be and you don't expect to kill the animal by busting thorough the shoulders. If you expect the odd shot then...

    Did I just ruin my Lee .380 sizing die with nickel brass?

    If that's a carbide die ring, which it appears to be all the brass/dirt and whatever else has built up there needs to be scraped and polished off.

    Chronograph and a scoped rifle?

    The distance your scope sits above the bore of the barrel is where it'll go through the chronograph screens. Always allow that you're shooting approximately halfway up the distance between the chronograph and the shades. That'll usually keep the chronograph safe. If you have a REALLY high...
