    Rem 700 PSS .223

    I have not measued it myself, but....when I look down the bore, the rifling makes almost three revolutions in the length of the barre, and the barrel is 26" and last time I checked 27/9=3 so it would make sense. The load tested above on the top row, was 52gr SMK on top of 26gr Win-748 and...

    Rem 700 PSS .223

    Don't know the difference, was told it was a PSS, it's not marked, has a 26" 1 in 9 twist barrel. I already handload, and have been doing so for many years.

    Rem 700 PSS .223

    I have a Rem 700 PSS in .223, that is unmodified. The rifle was originally bought just to be a low-cost, low-recoil, informal range/bench plinker, and has also been used to take the occasional varmint. It shoots well, just a bit under MOA, but I want to cut that in half or better. Trying to...

    .223 as a starter rifle?

    Re: .223 as a starter rifle? I have both, a Rem 700 PSS in .223, and a Rem 700 AAC-SD in .308 and the .223 is the way to go, the ammo is only half as much, whether you're reloading or not, so you can afford to shoot twice as much. The recoil is milder, it's more pleasant to shoot, and the...

    Rem 700 models

    Have been wanting to get a Rem 700 in .223, will be primarily used for informal shooting from the bench at paper targets from 100-300yds. Maybe to exterminate a few local coyote's. Locally I have found a new SPS Varmint for around $400 1 in 12 twist, a new SPS Tactical 1 in 9 twist for $750, a...

    Brass Sorting and RCBS Chargemaster?

    I shoot service rifle and have always just used mixed range brass I pick up from the ground at my local range. I literally have several five gallon buckets of it. Then I load on a Dillon 550b progressive. First, all the books I read talk about sorting brass by lot, then weighing each case...

    Wich Rings?

    Re: Wich Rings? So can no one here tell me how to deal with these 20moa two piece bases being different heights, so that I can mount the scope without twisting or putting undue pressure on my scope tube? I tried calling SWFA and they couldn't tell me, and after several attemps, I've been...

    Wich Rings?

    Have a 700 AAC-SD in .308, have decided to return the Leupold EFR I've been using back to my SB Sillouette rifle, and am purchasing a used FFP Bushnell 6-24X50 Elite Tactical scope for it. Since I don't yet have a DBM and still load the mag from the top, I feel a one piece Picitinny rail really...

    to go 260 remington, or stick with 308

    Re: to go 260 remington, or stick with 308 I have no scientific evedence for my hypothesis, and I could be wrong, but I figure the reason the .308 is likely (or precieved to be) more lethal than the .260 is the same reason the .45acp is likely (or precieved to be) more lethal than a .357 mag...

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy I called the order in already, ordered rings and scope butler-creek scope caps with it. I'm just waiting for the UPS man to come, so I can see what all the Ho-Ha's about.

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Ok guys, guess you finally got me to taste the cool-aide. Hope it don't give me the runs! I'm one of those old-timers who thought a Weaver K-4 was a great scope. Untill recently I'd never owned a scope costing more than $200. Frustrated with $30...

    Choosing a stock

    Everything I read says how important stock fit is and to get the right stock for the type of shooting you do. Not sure what I want. Have a new Rem 700 AAC-SD in .308 that came with Hogue Overmolded stock. Will be shooting mostly from the bench or prone, out to 600yds. Might shoot a local F-class...
