    338 Lapua mag build

    Action is irrelevant, all that matters is the mag length in the context of your question. I recently chambered/rebarreled one (Bartlein blank), SAAMI spec reamer. Berger 300 Hybrid OTM's were one of the load-workup choices, along with 250 Scenars and 300 A-Tips. The burned-up barrel it...

    Anyone familiar with the pillar bedding offered by Boyd's with their stocks?

    RIchard's Microfit is a solid alternative for walnut and laminate stocks if you don't mind doing the final fitting and finishing. I'd rather do final fitting/bedding/pillars on a stock that hasn't had the exterior finish applied.

    From NZ... https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.300+Winchester+Short+Magnum.html The .300 WSM achieves what its designers intended, duplicating the velocities of the .300 Win Mag from a short, lightweight rifle platform. Generally, the savings in length are approximately 2.5” when...

    Very disappointed

    Contact CZ cust svc to find out what match ammo they use to verify sub-3/4 moa accuracy (their website states every rifle's accuracy is "verified". Then I'd get a box and see...

    Barrel vice and action wrench kit?

    Chamber cast will be- you're clamping the barrel a foot ahead of the chamber. It's obviously not going to affect the chamber behind it. Barrels should always be clamped just ahead of the receiver ring.

    .300 PRC Barreled Action Recommendations

    ^^^ This. Yes, you can shoot a 6.5 Creedmoor or just about anything else out to 1k and beyond- just point the bore skyward. Spotting your impacts needs to be considered, tho- and that's why I shoot a .300 WSM at 1K+ and a 7-08 inside of that.

    Hot barrel was hammering…why

    Makes sense, could be. Heat expands the barrel (from inside out obviously=bore), stiffness is reduced, and harmonics change. Could be any or all of the above contributing to it. I'm sure you know strings like that will toast the throat (and accuracy) in short order with what's already a burner...

    Savage 111 rifle, I just mesured the action the female thread is .006 off to the left. Also I can't understand why barrels are centered on a thread. A

    Welcome to the forum. I'm still trying to understand your thread title- what exactly you measured, and how... Internal receiver threads "are .006 to the left"- of what? "Barrels are centered on a thread"- huh?

    Rechamber question 243 Ackley to 6GT or something else?

    No. Much more than a "setback"- it's time for the bandsaw on that one. Plus, new bolt... 6 ARC bolt gun should be built off a Howa mini in 6.5 grendel w/ a barrel swap for the easy button.

    Should I go magnum?

    Short action = .300 WSM. Maybe a 7/6.5 PRC if ya don't mind a wildcat. Long= .338 Lapua Shooting a mile can be fun, or frustrating. Consider your conditions- private or public range? Can you set up a camera? Hit indicators on steel? You need to be able to spot your impacts- if you can't you...
