    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    If I was going to build a custom action type rifles, I'd probably go with the higher end barrel. But since this is my first try with a bolt action rifle, I'll prob go shilen

    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    Awesome. Thanks for that info. It makes since. Like you said, when you break it down to nuts and bolts, I can see why you can't mix a large and small. I'll still give NSS a call tomorrow. He did say he had some shilen select in stock for 7prc with the small shank. I'm looking at the...

    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    Aww. Ok. I think I got it. Edit. So basically criterion is out. it looks like Shilen is an option though to still be able small shank and 7prc. And the select match is $375 ($450 to have it threaded) Or would it be worth it for a Krieger ($600)

    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    I apologize, I'm still learning about bolt actions and how things "fit together". The barrel on my savage now is a 7mm rem mag with a small shank. I'm putting it into a different chassis than the original plastic stock. Can I not put a large shank on a criterion barrel in 7prc with my savage...

    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    It's a large (edit: long) action and had a small barrel but on there before but it also had a small/thin varmit barrel before. Is the select better than the regular match? Right now it's a 2 week wait on the criterion and Shilen (idk if reg match or select) is in stock. I still have to order...

    Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

    Looking to swap barrels/calipers (7mm rem mag to 7mm prc) and am trying to decide between the 2 barrels. It will be used on a bench/long range rig. I have 2 other Criterion barrels and they shoot great. I've never shot a Shilen so I have no real experience with them. I was just wondering if...

    Savage 7mm rem mag to 7mm prc, what's needed?

    Oh ok. I wasn't sure if there was something else out there for the swap. I know it's a savage and they aren't loved here. But I figure for about $1k..it would be an "affordable" option. As far as long range shooting, with my ARs, I started with the good old 223 wylde, then went to 308 and...

    Savage 7mm rem mag to 7mm prc, what's needed?

    Hello all. Im relatively new to bolt action rifles (mostly a precision gasser) but wanting to dabble in bolt actions. Wife has an older Savage 110 7mm rem mag she used for hunting but hasnt shot it in atleast 12+ years. I was looking to change it up some and thought about going to 7mm prc. My...

    I have the exact opposite happen. Anything under pressured is horrible accuracy. Im an easy 1 grain over book max.

    .224 Valkyrie

    Federal inwas losing primer pockets pretty quick. 2-4 reloads. Hornady I would get about 4-6ish. Never tried starling. I do have a primer pocket reforming tool and that helps alot and I can usually get 8-9 reloads b4 the neck goes. But that's on a pretty hot 88 eld / varget load.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Here is my humble addition. Moved into the house a few year ago and finally got around to a proper setup. I've added some more wall art since these pics but haven't taken any new pics.
