Does factory new ammo chamber easily?

i have the sps tactical you are talking about with the 1-9 twist. so far with factory 55 gr it has shot a .7" 5shot at 100. if i can get it doin that at 300 i will be all smiles

It will probably do better with heavier bullets...I like 62 grains...but 68 - 69 usually do better in the 1 in 9 barrels

But don't check your groups at 100 yards with heavy bullets...sometimes they don't settle down until 200 yards.

With that rifle you should be able to get at least 1 inch groups (maybe even better) at 200 yards...once you find what load it likes.

I want to install a new trigger but am not sure what i should get

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Theres plenty of good ones to chose from...or you could just have the one you got worked on...the Rem. model 700 triggers are adjustable (gunsmith required).

 

[mlw332]

yeah i read about how to adjust the trigger and i tried and the allen screws stripped out so i figure by the time the gunsmith fixed it i could have a new one

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Yeah...What they don't tell you is that its not as easy as it sounds...LOL...I found out the hard way too, so don't feel bad.

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Timney or Jard are about as good as any.

 

[mlw332]

i have been looking at the jard.

it sounds to me like maybe you do not have the sizer die screwed all the way in. on my lee dies, you have to screw the die in until it touches the shell holder with the ram all the way up. if there is even a few thousandths of clearance between the shell holder and die bottom, the brass will be sized just a few thousandths to long. that would give you the hard closing/opening you are talking about, as it would be close, and kind of a press fit by the cam action of the bolt.
