Over standard at .200" line, can make remedy?

Hello to all!

I've some 2nd hand 6,5x47 Lapua brass that I received with my rifle, but I don't know how many reload was passed before I started to use this.

Now these cases show, at .200 line, measures greater that the standard SAAMI and measures obtained resizing the brass with a Forster FL Bushing die.
When, after FL resizing, I insert the brass on the chamber, close the bolt and after open the bolt whe have a click/clickering at the up of the bolt.

I read on the Net that the cause of the increasing of the quote at .200 line are a sign t'ha the brass are at end of is life, lost primers, head separation, bla bla bla...

Now I ask if are some remedy for this problem.
Ring die?
Small base body die?
Recicling bin?
Other?

Thanks, Camillo

Bore Scoping the Tikka T1X

For those of you that have bore scoped your T1X, how was the bore finish and is it accurate ? my T1X looks pretty good, few tool marks here and there and it does very well in the accuracy dept. The reason I ask is a shooting buddy brought his T1X over to bore scope it, his is very accurate as well, probably more accurate than mine. The bore in his had a lot of tool marks, the leade has some small smears to and in the bottom of the bore it looked like it was sandblasted, full length of the bore, the upper half of the bore was smooth and shiney, his rifle has 5000+ rounds through it. Goes to show you cannot tell how a barrel will shoot by just looking at it. Your input appreciated.

First AR-15 SPR Build: Barrel Suggestions?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on my first AR-15 SPR build and need some advice on which barrel to choose. I’ve narrowed it down to a few options, but I’m having a tough time deciding. Here are the contenders:

  1. Rainier Arms Ultramatch MOD2 .223 Wylde MK12 SPR AR-15 Barrel - 18" Nitride - 420$
  2. BALLISTIC ADVANTAGE AR-15 MODERN SERIES 18" Rifle-Length Barrel SPR w/ OPS 12 - 320$
  3. WHITE OAK ARMAMENT 18" Rifle SPR Barrel - 630$
  4. CRITERION BARRELS INC 18" HBAR Contour, Rifle Gas System, .223 Wylde - 570$
  5. CRITERION BARRELS INC SBN Barrel .223 Wylde 18" Rifle-Length - 570$
I’m located in Switzerland, which explains why the prices might seem a bit high compared to what you’re used to in the States.

I’m looking for something that will give me most accuracy at distance. (think 500+ yards)

Any insights on these options? Does anyone have experience with one of these barrels, and how do they perform in terms of accuracy, durability, and overall quality? Or should I consider a different barrel altogether?

Appreciate any help or advice you all can provide!

Thanks!

SOLD Defiance, Hawk Hill BA

Letting one of my BA’s go. This is a Defiance Tenacity with the integral recoil lug. Action has about 1200 rounds on it as does the barrel. It is chambered in 6.5 CM. The barrel is a 29” Hawk Hill. I don’t know what they call the profile but it is like a Heavy Palma profile. This is set up on a Bug Nuts system. The Nut shows some tool marks because I didn’t have a Bug Nut wrench when I installed it. Other than that, BA is in overall excellent condition and shoots 140 Hornady’s like a laser. The action was manufactured by Defiance for Nomad Precision out of Kentucky. I will sell the action and barrel separate. $975.00 for Action and $200 for barrel or $1100 together. These prices are shipped and insured. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Exploding Pagers neutering terrorists.. Mossad operation?

Devil Dog needs guidance on 7mm STW

Hello everyone,

Long time stalker first time posting up. This is my first precision gun of any type. I came across something from a seller and we made a deal. Picked up a very clean REM 700 Sendero 7mm STW . Well I really didn’t think getting ammo or brass for starters would be as hard as it seems in today’s market. I have read several of the posts from others here but wanted to reach out to all the professionals in the community for some guidance moving forward. Frankly I’m not a reloader because I have never had the need. Well that’s changing ASAP it apparent. Is there anyone out here that’s shooting one that’s been reloading or also knows were I can get some factory ammo still? I have found some Nosler off Ammoseek and picked it up so I have some brass to learn to reload with. Any help would be great and thanks again.

This will be a long range Elk and Mule deer gun mostly and maybe a speed goat gun too.

CZ P-01 Slide Milling

Does anyone have gunsmith recommendations for having a CZ P-01 slide milled for a Trijicon RMR?

My father has a P-01 that he wants to put a red dot on, and he’s tried a mount that uses the rear sight’s slot, but it hasn’t been as sturdy as he likes. He’s had to readjust the sight regularly, so he’s thinking about having the slide milled.

Before a P-07/P-09 recommendation is made, he wants to stick with the P-01 because he likes the metal frame and the ergonomics.

I’ve seen a few videos by MK3 Firearms, and it looks like they do good work. Does anyone have experience with them, or some other shop?

Trump Transition Team Likely to Refuse Fed Assistance & Transition Funding If Victorious

I like it, especially setting up outside of DC.

For election 2024, President Trump’s transition team is now saying they are likely to go it alone and skip any federal transition assistance in advance of inauguration day. That decision is making the deepest parts of the Deep State apparatus very nervous. That decision has major ramifications and could, likely would, include the incoming Trump administration setting up offices outside Washington DC.

New to the forum from Utah - transplanted from PA.

Great forum and have learned a bunch from here in the recent past as I work to set up a new .22.

Have shot .22's my whole life getting my first Marlin Mod 60 in '74 that I got for my birthday one year - still shoots great. It looked pretty bad so a few years ago I stripped it down and painted the stock desert tan, then painted some of the forestock and the handgrip with some dark gray textured paint. Then I added a piece of rail under the front end to add a bipod, put a Nikon ProStaff 22 scope on top and have a great gopher plinker.

Then about 25 years ago I picked up a Marlin 25n for about $99 new, to carry on my ATV and used that with the open sites for ever and a day. Bolt seems to go on for ever, the little metal clip will kill your fingers after a while and the trigger is quite heavy but it always shot well so never put a scope on it - until recently (later for that).

So just a couple of months ago I was visiting my uncle up in Idaho. We ride, hunt and shoot a lot. We happened into a local gun shop and I saw a Bergara BMR steel barrel and checked it out. My 300 WinMag (an anniversary gift from my wife) is a Bergara and I just love it. So, after looking at the BXR and the BMR I said to my Uncle - I haven't had a new .22 in over 25 years, and knowing that the number of guns you should own is N+1, I bought it.

I took it home with the intent to set it up and go back to Idaho shooting with my uncle. He called and said, "Hey there's an NRL22 match down your way, you oughta go shoot it with that gun." I laughed - I told him I don't even have a scope on it, of course he knew I had to have something. With it only a few days away I pulled the UTG 4-16x44 off of my pellet gun and mounted it on the BMR. Sighted it at 50, shot some different ammo to find one that seemed to be consistent and went off to the match. For my first ever I did not zero on any station and just did some ballpark holdover as to not need to dial the scope.

So, now after a new scope (Bushnell Match Pro), a decent bipod (Harris), 4 bags, Atlas cheek rest, throw lever and scope caps from MKM, various ammo runs and a Boyd's AT-One thumbhole stock on the way (need a lot more LOP to shoot comp) I am down the NRL22 rabbit hole trying to do comp shooting with a micro rifle. But it has been fun!!

Loving the rediscovery of rimfire!!!
