    Reloading Equipment Hodgdon website has Varget

    I have been working on a load for my factory 700 in 223 and it shoots the same hole with 52 smk pushed by varget. I love varget for 223/556 and 308/762 except it doesn't throw worth a darn. Chargemaster gets a workout for the 223 and 308 bolt guns.

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 Action Trueing

    Not trying to take business away from Chad because the 700 he did for me shoots great. If all all you want is lighter weight, what about just selling the current rifle and buying a new lighter weight one like a Tikka T3 superlite? Like you said you are looking for a hunting rifle and not...

    Gunsmithing Best way to remove rocksett from threads?

    While I have never used Rocksett I have dealt with all sorts of locking agents like epoxy and polyamide patches on top of regular loctite. If I don't have the right size tap or die to chase the treads I have had good luck taking a regular screw(most people call them a bolt) and cutting a couple...

    Gunsmithing Radial muzzle brake that can be turned down??

    I hope you aren't thinking about turning the whole break down to .720. Major diameter of 5/8 threads is .625. That only leaves .05 of material. The Vias breaks you are referring to has 1/2" threads for a .308 to get the .750 OD. I wouldn't recommend you turning your barrel down that thin to go...

    Gunsmithing Bergara B14R action specs

    What do you mean by specs? The thread size or the thread class like 2B(probably actually 6H since I assume they are metric coming from Spain)?

    Gunsmithing Over tightened and stripped screw

    What do you mean you overtightened the screw? Did you torque it above the specified torque value or you just stripped the head? I'm guessing you just stripped the head when tightening it. Internal hex are terrible. Good tools are the key to having success with them. The harbor freight or $1...

    Newbie Building first rifle

    I thought Chad at LRI sold 700 actions already blueprinted but I can only find receivers and you have to supply the bolt. If you do buy just an action or rifle and are on a tight budget I would look at a stainless receiver. This way you don't have the extra cost of having a carbon steel...

    Gunsmithing Machining a muzzle break bigger?

    As long as the treads are concentric to the bore. If they are not, .328" might not be enough.

    CCI SV Alternative?

    RWS target rifle is pretty similar to SV. It is usually in the SK standard plus range. A big box was closing it out a couple years for less than SV so I bought everything they had of the same lot. Probably not going to see that again for a while. Don't be jealous. I think my old case of SV...
