    Mag Release Fitting

    I needed to shorten the catch release to use a WSM magazine in an MDT Timbr chassis/stock. I filed the catch down until the magazine locked in and would not come out pulling on the mag. It now drops free on recoil. I replaced the spring. Same problem. Is the catch too short or too long...

    Quickload Not Displaying

    I have been running QuickLOAD successfully for many years. Just today, I got a small white box saying QuickLOAD is already running. I cannot get it to display the usual data input page. I would appreciate someone checking if this is a general problem or unique to me. Thanks for the help.

    7 SAUM Velocity Check

    My go to powder for 7 SAUM has been Reloder 26. Time to find an alternative. MagPro looked to be a good, available option for the Barnes 168 LRX. Barnes does not provide load data for the 168 but published 63 to 68 grains for the 175 LRX. QuickLoad has the 168 gr bullet and shows maximum...

    MDT Customer Service

    The firearms industry seems blessed with some of the very best customer service (Dillon) and cursed with some of the worst (you know who they are). This is a shoutout to MDT. Someone always answers the phone and is always knowledgeable and helpful. This past week, they outdid themselves. I...

    300 WSM vs. 7 SAUM

    With 300 WSM brass coming from Lapua and others this year, who favors 300 WSM over 7 SAUM for elk and long range shooting?

    Coup de Gras and Manners LRH

    This is buried in the CDG thread but thought it would get more attention here. Assembling CDG long action in Manners LRH stock with bdl bottom metal with extended Wyatt box magazine. Stock needed to be inlet to clear the trigger hanger. Not a big deal. A bigger deal is the Wyatt box hits the...

    Suppressor Advice Needed

    I would appreciate some advice for a suppressor purchase. I have a few but none for a hunting rifle. Calibers are 7 SAUM, 300 PRC, and 300 Norma Mag. Priorities are: Fits over a muzzle brake. Can be swapped from one rifle to another. Lightweight. As short as possible. Quick detach. Value...

    Parts Bin Rifle

    What was once a Defiance Rebel in a McMillan Hunters Edge stock LA with BDL inlet with a number 3 contour barrel chambered in 300 WM from I think a well known barrel manufacturer is now something else. What have left is the stock, the barrel, and the BDL box and spring. No bottom metal. No...

    Help Identifying Bullet

    I purchased 6.5 140 gr soft point bullets from Rocky Mountain Reloading earlier this year and forgot what they are. They are a soft point but look more like a hollow point that's been filled with lead. There is no visible lead looking from the side. Has anyone else purchased these and done a...

    Alliant Powder Availability

    I was searching for information on Alliant powder supply and most posts are from 2020 even on here. Has everyone given up? Aside from Reloder 16 very recently and a few pistol powders, nothing! I understand these powders are made in Australia. Any reason for hope? May have to find a...

    Impact Action Hitch on Opening

    I love my Impact actions. This is not a complaint. Impact short action shooting 7 Saum. There is a decided hitch at the top on opening. It is more pronounced with hotter loads. No other pressure signs. Is this cock on opening normal or would a different trigger hanger make this less...

    Manners: Got Me Some Love

    Mausingfield M7, Proof CF, Manners EH-5. Nothing to see here, right? Look closer. Guess MCS really does love their work. Is anyone else getting hidden messages?

    Absolute Hammer Bullet COAL

    Does anyone have a drawing of the Absolute Hammer bullets, ideally 7 mm and .308? What I am trying to do is decide on a starting COAL. Since the bullet does not touch the rifling until the last inch or so, distance off the lands is not going to work. Seating the bullet so the back end which...

    PVA Muzzle Loader

    Jumped in the deep end and ordered a prefit barrel .45 cal muzzleloader from Patriot Valley Arms. The barrel arrived along with a muzzle brake, a section of the barrel, screw-in bolt, and a bag of primer cups. I reload for a dozen calibers but never loaded a muzzleloader. Any and all advice...

    Short Barrel, Short Range Elk Rifle

    I have built a number of long barrel, long range elk rifles, 300 WM, 300 PRC, and 300 NM with 26 to 28 inch barrels. All successful. Goal for next build is shorter barrel, suppressed, lighter weight rifle for big elk (850 pounds) inside 300 yards. I plan to rebarrel an Origin short action or...

    Barnes LRX Bullets Unobtanium

    Now the heavier .308 LRX bullets have become unobtanium. Barnes says all their shipments are going to Cabela's who don't do mail orders. The nearest stores are one and a half and five hours away. Has anyone seen the 200, 209, or 212 Barnes LRX bullets recently? Thanks for the intel. It's...

    Bolt Knob/Scope Clearance

    On of the many things I like about Accuracy International rifles is the bolt knob is well clear of the scope. I understand that with proper manipulation of the bolt, the clearance between the knuckle on your thumb and the scope should not be a problem. However…. Does any other modern action...

    Bottom metal for 3.845 COAL 300 Norma Mag

    I am trying to build a rifle in 300 Norma Mag for the Barnes 212 gr Bore Rider with recommended COAL of 3.845. Is my only option BDL with a Wyatt's extended box? Will that box work with an Impact LA or the Mausingfield M7 with a Lapua bolt of course and Hawkins M5 Obendorf BDL bottom metal...
