Howa short action .540 bolt face

Hello all,
I have a Howa m1500 short action in 6.5 creed. I’m getting to the point where I want to re-barrel the gun and change calibers. I want to move up to 300 wsm. I’m struggling to find a replacement bolt with the proper bolt face and correct length. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find one or the proper way to go about this project? I’ve got my barrel picked out but I don’t want to purchase it until I’ve got a plan for the bolt.
Thank you in advance for any replies

Source for RWS Brass?

Does anyone have a source for RWS brass in the US (or an international retailer that will ship)?

I'm getting within a few months of getting my 338 barrel and 338 Improved reamer and would like to go the extra mile (pun intended) with RWS over Lapua.

EDIT: I've reached out to a few overseas retailers to see if they will ship, but if someone has a source, I'll likely just go there.

Firearms Accurate Ordnance 6XC

Asking 2500
Accurate Ordnance custom built rifle bolt action. The receiver is a trued Remington 700 short action RH chambered in 6XC. The build sheet below is correct for all of the parts and components listed. I had this rifle built for PRS and never used it. The Manners T4A accepts AI mags and I also added a 4” arca rail. The round count is no more than 400. It has a badger bolt knob. It just sat in the safe for a long time. The sale is for the rifle alone it will NOT come with the NF scope bipod or the muzzle break I have a thread protector. I can split up the barreled action and stock.

25x47 Lapua

I have really been enjoying this cartridge so I thought I would share my findings.

26" Benchmark 1-7"
lapua brass
CCI 450
40.25 gr. H4350
Berger 133
2890 Ave. Velocity.

I have experimented with 6.5 staball and with 41.5 grains i have reached velocities of 2960 fps. I cannot get this powder to behave consistently. I wish I could because it would be awesome.

I would love to hear anyone else's info.

Thanks!

Lapua Test Center Shipping

I was notified that I’m up to send in two actions for my son and I for testing. My question is for those who sent theirs in, did you ship in a cardboard box or a hard case. If in a hard case, did you just tape the latches and add a zip tie through the locking hole? I am aware that my FFL will be the one who actually ships, but he will prepare however I ask.

These are the BA. Both RimX. One is 24”, 1.20 built by Desert Precision. The other is 24” 1.25 built by Modacam. Both with BnA Tac Sport X Pro triggers.

Accessories AI AX Chassis, R700 Short Action

A catch and release for me, here's an AI AX chassis for a Remington 700 short action. Good used condition, small amount of aluminum milled out to accomodate an action and a recoil lug. Sage green, comes with RRS arca handguard, picatinny rail, both a long and short foregrip, and an AO thumbshelf.

Pictures are from original ad, but I will include a picture as it currently sits (there's an action in it - not currently for sale).

$1475 firm, shipped to you. PayPal f/f or money order.

In ear/ear bud hearing protection reccomendations and an ear pro question

I would like some in-ear/ear bud electronic (sound amplifying) hearing protection to use instead of my muffs when not shooting a lot of rounds or in enclosed areas.

My only real criteria are that they be tethered together and have hooks over the ears as I find I often knock ear buds out of my ears. Battery life and durability is also important.


Also regarding hearing protection I understand muffs reduce vibrations that carry sound to your ear and that plugs alone aren't as good.

That said on a scale of 1 to 10, with zero being no hearing protection, one being cigarette butts or 9mm cases, and ten being foam plugs jammed right into your ear canals combined with gel cup muffs how good are ear bud type plugs alone?

Rifle Scopes What’s the plus of having a bigger tube?

I always thought that the bigger the tube the more adjustment was available for elevation/ windage. But looking at the new NX8 4-32-50 with a 30mm tube it has 26.2 mills of elevation and the gen 2 Vortex 4.5-27x56 with a 34mm tube has roughly the same. What is the upside to a bigger main tube? Trying to decide which one to get.
