    Tikka T3 Thread

    So does anyone have a definitive magazine internal dimensions list by chance? I'm trying to see which magazine would come closest to 3.036", if there even is one. If not, are there aftermarket 'spines' if you will that adjust the internal lengths?

    Is the bolt lift and stuff still smooth though? Have you ever compared it to a blued steel?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I hear that. Polished and nitrided carbon steel is no joke. Out of the 16 or so BCG's I have for AR's, and I have them all, my polished and nitrided (bootleg) carrier is by far and away the toughest and slickest I have. They may have been wednesday carriers when it came to the polishing dept...

    Good stuff here. Overall, I actually have quite a good understanding of ferrous and non ferrous metallurgy. Its a hobby of mine, and i did well on it in college as well. I do know that really tough stainless can get slightly corroded with the right conditions, but ill take that over carbon...

    Experience with the .308 Hornady 178 ELDMs vs Bergers

    I was wondering any anyone noticed any difference in consistency from the Hornady 178's as compared to the Berger 175s. Ther Bergers shoot nice in my rifle as I'm sure they do in most others, and I was looking at buying more, then noticed the pretty big price decrease in the Hornadys and it got...

    Have a quick question about the stainless vs chromo tikkas for you tikka owners. I keep reading that the stainless models rust pretty quick and because of that a lot of people are thinking that they're just clear cerakoated steel. Is this right? Or are they really stainless. Thanks.

    Arbor Press Vs Single Stage...need your vote :)

    It was levity, yes. (although, I hope it's levity, when I see all those europeans being interviewed about what they think about some shootings they see in america, and they all say we have too many guns and that they should all be taken away)

    Powder burn speed, pressure, and velocity question

    We're getting RIPPED OFF!!!

    I called several manufacturers to ask them this very question and they said what was said above; the components of components are being sucked up in new massive European ammo contracts. Specfically H4895, 8208, and primers. It's SUPER annoying. Youre not going to save that boat; quit fucking...

    30-06 Rem 721

    Im on the same road you are but mines a 270. While the older predecessors to the 700 are actually IMO better built guns, they were usually abused, and have had a longer time to be abused. Also, their barrels arent even CLOSE to being free floated. I also doubt the barrel steel on these, so...

    Arbor Press Vs Single Stage...need your vote :)

    Save up longer, and get a turret press; trust me I started on a single stage and it's a HUGE time waster continually moving dies. If that exceeds the budget, you can skip the arbor press and still get very good ammo with Forster sizing and seating dies. They're very good dies and they dont...

    Powder burn speed, pressure, and velocity question

    Gotcha. Great explanations here. I'm shooting Varget (I prefer to stay in the 'extreme' powders from hodgdons) currently, with Lapua brass and federal small rifle primers, and I cant find my data for 42.3 but for 42.2 behind a berger 168 I'm getting 2521 average off of my Magnetospeed at 80...

    Powder burn speed, pressure, and velocity question

    Quick question, if you're at max powder charge, and the velocity isn't what you were hoping for (given all else is good, throat, bore, etc etc) do you try a faster or slower powder to boost velocity? (25" barrel .308 168gr)

    Max 6.5 Creed load question

    I'm using Alpha srp brass and the Berger 144s. I guess my other question is (ive never loaded anything close to max yet, as to this point I've just been shooting for group size at a hundred, and that's satisfied me, plus, starting at the lowest charge saves powder too) what are safe step sizes...

    Max 6.5 Creed load question

    Quick question about max load for the 6.5 creedmoor in the book. My Berger manual says 40.7 grains of H4350, while Hogdons reloading site says the max is 41.8 grains; that's quite a bit off lol. I know each rifles different but how can they be 1.1 grains off?
