    Wet tumbling

    I’m going to try this in my next set of 6.5 rounds. I did a 10 round test this weekend with a max charge of 41.3 of H4350 and 14O ELDMs and several of the rounds had an odd hard bolt lift but absolutely pressure signs on the brass. I’m thinking that it’s a case of inconsistent neck tension for...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    Good points - the gun is back with the builder to be looked at (and hopefully fixed) in a couple of days. If not, I’ll grab it back and work on the feed lips myself. If that doesn’t work, I’m thinking that I may ditch the Remington factory magazine parts and try a Wyatt’s BDL assembly and see if...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    That’s what I had thought originally as well and opened them slightly but it didn’t change anything as I had hoped it would. It’s probably not the case, but, since all the “usual” fixes aren’t working, I’m starting to wonder now if maybe the inlet for the bottom metal might be slightly out of...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    okay, not the actual other side of the receiver but inside the receiver towards the feed ramp, that makes more sense. This is the only picture that I have showing that angle

    I’m not sure that I’m following as to how the other side of the actual receiver is relevant to the issue?

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    Here’s a link to the video that gives an idea as to what’s going on. The round starts off all the way to the rear of the box and moves just slightly before the bolt skips over

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    yep - I double checked that the spring was pushed all the way forward in the follower plate and in the proper position in the base plate. I just dropped off the gun off with the builder to see if he can figure out what’s going since I tried everything that I can think of. He disassembled the...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    that’s correct. It’s a Badger BDL bottom metal with the fixed 4 round box

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    No - it’s not getting hung up there for sure. When the bolt overrides the cartridge base, it nosedives the rounds and it (the bolt) just skips down the length of the case

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    I tried two different ones, making sure that they weren’t bent out of shape and that there weren’t any obvious burrs or dings that would affect the geometry of the assembly or hinder the feeding process

    Wet tumbling

    Newbie reloader question - would dipping the necks of the brass in dry graphite lube before bullet seating have the same effect on release as the leftover carbon residue has?

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SA: BDL Won’t Feed in a McMillan A1/3 with Badger Bottom Metal

    I need some help trying to diagnose a feeding issue with my Rem 700 (.308) that’s sitting in a McMillan A1/3 with a Badger Ordnance BDL bottom metal and Rem factory spring, follower and box. The Problem When running the bolt, it starts to push the top round forward but it (the round) quickly...
