    300 Norma H-1000 max?

    I actually used AI to crawl the threads and websites and it came up with 86-87 grains too but I didn’t want to put all my faith in that. I hadn’t originally planned on going much over 85 so I guess I’ll just keep an eye out as I work up.

    300 Norma H-1000 max?

    Getting ready to work up two loads for my AXSR AI barrel, 27” 300 Norma with the 215 Berger Hybrid and 230 A-Tip and looking for info on what I should consider the max charge weight for these. I’ve read the 300 Norma thread and my loading manuals and the max seems to vary by several grains...

    Which thing made the biggest difference?

    I’ve been running the same load in my .308 for years now using FC brass. Getting ready to switch over to Lapua and I’m curious to see what differences I notice with it.

    Which thing made the biggest difference?

    Now you got me thinking. I was only thinking of seating force as a product of the neck tension but I guess annealing would make a difference too for how hard the brass fought the expanding of pressing the bullet in. What’s the lube for? Using it on the necks for sizing?

    Which thing made the biggest difference?

    Switching to a Type-S helped a lot. Do you use the mandrel as a step after the die on every case or just if you get some that are on the right side?

    Which thing made the biggest difference?

    What’s the thing that made the biggest difference if the quality of your reloads for long range/ELR once you got it right?

    AXSR action bolts issue

    They sent a return label right away and I dropped it off to be shipped this morning. I’m curious to see what the fix ends up being. I’m in deep with this thing at this point so I just want it fixed right so I can get the kind of results out of it that it’s supposed to give.

    AXSR action bolts issue

    No, I don’t want to start modifying it to fix something that shouldn’t even be a problem. They’re kind of a specialty bolt anyway because they are meant to be captured by the chassis so they only have a section of threads at the end that engages the receiver.

    AXSR action bolts issue

    Yeah for sure at this price point there should be essentially zero chance of a problem getting out the door. I used to build NASCAR engines and every person in the process from parts intake and production to final assembly was responsible for QC and had to sign off on everything they did. A...

    AXSR action bolts issue

    Wish I had heard about that first. Kind of surprised to buy a rifle in this price range and find a problem but then again I bought a ZCO and it had a problem out of the box too and had to go back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    AXSR action bolts issue

    Ok, there’s no epoxy in the AXSR. Something is off in the fitment of the action to the chassis on this one for some reason.

    Epoxy? Where would that be?

    AXSR action bolts issue

    About 75 rounds of .308 and just started testing other barrels on it. Have only had a couple range trips with it so far
