Yeah the bargain rifles are not terrible at all. My patriot is the synthetic stock but black. Taking it out later today with some buddies to test higher case fills with IMR 4064. Had to reduce to 3 shot groups though since I only have about 800gr of powder left. 2 weeks and counting for deer...
I had this issue in my rifle and unfortunately didn't have an adjustable gas block on it. Instead I put a piece of velcro on the deflector since I had it on hand and that solved the issue. Bottom line as long as there is not a crack in the case it will fireform if not come out when sizing the case.
You're right, made the change on the title. Yeah I'm hoping to get them (SGK) in soon as I have 3 left at this point and like to explore filling the case more. Went up to 45.2 grains last night but max case fill with IMR 4064 is 55ish.
Wanted to start a thread on this in case anyone has this budget rifle to impart some of my experience reloading for this. After going through several powders like Varget, H335, IMR 4064 and 2 different bullet weights I'm finding since this is a 1 in 10 twist barrel heavier rounds seem to work...
Hello Everyone,
Name is Adam. No Military background although being born and raised in San Antonio TX I associated with a large group of them. Mostly stick to reloading as my family got me into it. currently working on 30-06 for deer season in my Mossberg patriot but I think I got that one...
I had to order some sierra game kings IN 30 cal from bass pro. Deer season is fast approaching and I need more components for testing. San Antonio TX area
