    Controling Runnout?

    I'll shoot .2 groups with my 6ppc, but my .223 and .338LM are doing .75 to 1.25 consistently. I do the exact same thing with my .223 and .338LM that I do with my 6ppc , I start with new Lapua brass, turn necks, Debur flash holes, uniform primer pockets, resize using an RCBS Pardner press...

    Loading 7mm-08

    I took a Rem-700 varmint in 7mm-08 Remington as part of a trade deal, had a set of RCBS FL dies already, took it to the range, put a couple boxes of remington factory ammo through it, just to funtion test it, and fireform the brass. I adjusted the torque on the action screws, and the old-style...

    Gunsmithing When did Remington start modifying recievers to not accept old style remington trigger?

    I bought a used Rem-700 AAC-SD, It had an X-Mark trigger, and I had an extra old style Remington trigger, so I tried to install it, but discovered that the opening on the underside of the reciever, lacks the relief on the right side that allows part of the safety to pass through, so when...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    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...

    Power Case trimmers

    Hi, I've had an old Gracy power trimmer set up for .223 for years and love it, but just bought a .308 Win. I guess the Gracy must of spoiled me. Now I shoot way more .223 than .308 so I don't want to change the Gracy's cutter configuration, but sitting down with my old Lyman manual trimmer, hand...

Went ahead and got the threaded barrel just because I might be interested in getting a can for it someday. I've already...

    Realistic Expectations?

    Hi, I'm new here, guess I'm kind of an intermediate shooter, I've been shooting for years, tried many different games from 3 position smallbore to USPSA/IDPA to Highpower to Skeet/Sporting Clays. Have never really excelled at any of them, but I love to shoot! Lately I've been re-discovering...
