    Re: 6.5 x 257 wby aka 6.5 Wby Magnum RL19, H1000, RL25 will get the initial knod. While I'd like to take credit, Tim McWhorter of McWhorter Rifles has been building this caliber for a couple of years now. I'm building one for a client and ordering the reamer for chambering. 130 Berger VLD's...

    Range Report Estimate new zero baed on know know velocity

    Re: Estimate new zero baed on know know velocity Yea, 20 degrees isnt going to do much and at 100 yards and you better have a small pin point POA to detect any POI shift. I'm just checking to see where the temp change is to cause POI shift if any. In the past, for me, it's been around 60...

    Gunsmithing Shot-out 284 barrel in 550 rounds?

    Re: Shot-out 284 barrel in 550 rounds? There is/was a very large named maker that got into a bad batch of steel. Very soft to say the least. 2-260's I built had these barrels on them and they shot fine for 1,000 to 1,200 rounds then, poof, all gone. Another shooter I know had a 243 go south...

    Gunsmithing Question on pad under barrel

    Re: Question on pad under barrel Metal heats up and cools down, yes, even from just being in the sun, it moves. When the bedding job was performed I bet the barrel was cool to the touch, 72ish degress maybe. Now, it's home on the range, pun there, and in the sun. What does metal do when it...

    Gunsmithing Question on Remington 700 mag extractor

    Re: Question on Remington 700 mag extractor As few problems as I've seen with Remington extractors it's always been with the magnums. IMHO, the mini M-16 is the only way to fly and what I'd reccomend. The Sako comes in 2nd to that. Both are good and I havent had a problem with either.

    weight fluctuation

    Re: weight fluctuation I started at 245 Lbs & 23/25% BF. The diet was going good and I dropped to 210/215 pretty quick but at 205/210, the weight drop stopped, dead in it's tracks. I battled this for a couple of weeks trying to loose more body fat and then did research on proper nutrition...

    $115 to chamber your barrel with receiver work. Not promoting this business at all, I know nothing about them and have heard nothing about them. Just posting for entertainment. http://itdcustomgun.com/index.html
