    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig 365

    eca7891, being in the twin cities, you may want to check at Streichers. They're a local police supply house and should have some P365's in stock. That's where I picked one up a month or so ago. BTW, it's a great CCW piece. I carry mine in a Crossbreed appendix carry holster. Super...

    Difference in CBTO lengths w/diff. weight bullets

    One other question. When I tried a first loading for the 123 ELDM using Hornady's 10th edition manual and their suggested 2.71" COAL, I measured a CBTO of 2.096" when the COAL was 2.71". My rifles max. CBTO is 2.194" which even when setting the bullet back .060" off the lands still give a CBTO...

    Difference in CBTO lengths w/diff. weight bullets

    That's what I thought. I know that two bullets of different weights from the same manufacturer will have slightly different shapes. I just wasn't sure if it could add up to .020". I took five or six measurements from 2.193 to 2.196 with three at 2.194". I will probably again start at .010"...

    Difference in CBTO lengths w/diff. weight bullets

    I finally got a Hornady OAL gauge and threaded cartridge. In figuring out the distance to the lands on my R700 in 6.5CM using a Hornady 140 ELD-M, it was 2.176". I then tested different CBTO lengths starting .010" off the lands. Went fine. Now I am using the gauge to determine the CBTO of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P365 owners?

    I bought my Sig 365 a few months ago and love it. I carry it in a Crossbreed appendix carry holster and it's the most comfortable pistol I have ever carried. Shoots super soft, even with +P ammo and crazy accurate out to 25 yards.

    New Remington 700 ADL .223 for $199

    Yup, buy it! Same price as a an action as others have said. I did a similar thing when Cabela's had a 6.5CM ADL on sale for $450, plus a $75 rebate and some Cabela's points got me close to $200. Now it sits in a KRG Bravo chasis, has a Trigger Tech trigger and Vortex PSTII scope. Without the...

    223 vs 6.5 Creedmoor advice/question for you guys?

    I did something different. I started out a Rem 700 SPS Tac in .223 that I put into a KRG Bravo chassis and added a Trigger Tech trigger I still shoot. I shoot this out to 300 yds, but most of the time out to 200 yds. Love the .223. I then saw a 26" 6.5 CM Rem 700 Varmint ADL on sale at...

    Best bolt lube for PRS

    ofelas, that's the rule I've always used! My lube of choice is Lubriplate, grease and oil. I have a similar Rem 700 bolt tool to the one used in the video, and I purchased it either from Brownells or Midway. They're a common item.

    T3X or ?.

    That sounds like a great first centerfire rifle, in a perfect caliber. I started with a Rem 700 in .223 in a Bravo stock, and then added a similar 6.5CM. Have both in the KRG Bravo - love the Bravo! Would never be without a .223 bolt action. The Tikka is a super action, smooth, reliable...

    POF, BCM, or Daniel Defense?

    My personal opinion is that one would be well served by a DD, FN or BCM. Myself, I shoot a BCM Mod 0 rifle w/an Aimpoint PRO and have almost 4K rounds through it with not a single FTF, FTE or any other malfunction. As I live in Wisconsin, I shoot some AR competitions with some of the guys that...

    Ring on 123 ELD-M after seating

    Neck tension I'll have to check. I'm just using a stock Forster seating die, no bushings or custom hone. Yes, I do chamfer my cases for rifle cartridges before seating.
