    6.5X55 for R700 LA build?

    Re: 6.5X55 for R700 LA build? If you decide to go with the 6.5x55mm, which is a wonderful round, no bolt modifications are needed for domestic brass (e.g. RP and WW) with the 0.473" casehead. If you intend to use Prvi, Norma, or Lapua, be prepared for minor modifications as the European...

    How accurate is your benchrest powder measure?

    Re: How accurate is your benchrest powder measure? I had a Harrell's and for most fast to medium stick "rifle" powders it would drop within 0.1gr and usually +/- 0.05gr. A few years ago, I ran some experiments with my Harrell's and Redding #3BR. The ball powders, which I tend to use, were a...

    falling block rifles

    Re: falling block rifles Had a few #1s and will not own another unless in a 6.5x55SE. They are neat rifles but inferior to other designs. Lock time is horrid, triggers are poor, not very accurate, odd forearm attachment design, etc. are the features that come to mind. Even in a .22PPC...

    New to .223 looking for an accurate load

    Re: New to .223 looking for an accurate load 1 in 8" twist? Try some 77-80gr Sierras or Hornady 75-80gr with AA2520 (ball powder) or R15 if you want to weigh charges. It should have similar ballistics to a .308 with the 80s.

    Heavy Barrel Contours

    Re: Heavy Barrel Contours The Palma tapers are all you need unless it is a benchrest gun. Remington Varmint barrels are a pretty nice compromise.

    R700 or Surgeon Action?

    Re: R700 or Surgeon Action? This is what I did and it financially hurt like hell as a stupid/poor graduate student. Buy once and only once. Surgeon 591 (I would get a WSM with a .308 bolt face in case you ever want to shoot a WSM round. You can just get a new WSM bolt.) You can switch out...

    Advanced Marksmanship TAB sling

    Re: TAB sling Walsh, I was given a TAB sling and thought "why would I want this thing?" After using it a little, I found it to pretty nice for 'tactical' competitions/style shooting because of the speed with which it can be used. Where I shoot, the prep period is very short and time...

    Rifle Scopes nightforce or schmidt and bender

    Re: nightforce or schmidt and bender Depends on the features you want. Both work for "low-light" conditions and long range accuracy is dependent more on other equipment than a scope.

    Gunsmithing 7-08 Project - to go Ackley or not.

    Re: 7-08 Project - to go Ackley or not. I would never build a 7mm-08 Ackley. It is already a wonderful cartridge as is. It you want more case capacity, get a .284 Winchester.

    Re: Offhand at 500 yards Here at Sac Valley, only the Stock class has different classifications (Master, AAA, AA, A, B), while in the Open class, everyone is classified the same. We also go by date of acceptance into service, not manufacture. K-31s and the like that were produced well after...
