    Any Old Remington Employees Here, or Smiths Experienced On the Remington 700?

    Having an issue with feeding from two Rem 700's both in 6.5 Creed. They were perfect before getting pillar bedded. So now they both shoot fantastic, but dont feed worth a dam. They aways pass the hand feeding dummies test, but on the range is ALWAYS a whole other story; must be the recoil...

    Neck Tension Inconsistencies on Lapua 6.5CM Brass

    I cant for the life of me figure out why I have so much inconsistency in neck tension with this brass. This is 2 times fired brass in the same chamber (howa), annealead with an AMP, then sized through a forster full length sizer with 262 ball. All necks brushed with graphite and bodies lubed...

    How Relevant is the Nightforce NX8 4-32?

    I know it's an older optic, and is underneath their top of the line, but is this still a good scope, compared to the other cheaper options out there like say the Cronus, gen2/3 Razors, Zeiss LRP3s, Theoses, DNT etc etc ? Has the new budget optics caught up to the older Nightforces?

    What FPS are you getting out of your 16" barrel 6.5 creedmoor?

    Exactly how important is case trimming?

    Got a rifle shooting in the ones now and as I get further into the round count of the brass I start to wonder when it's going to be trim time. It's a 6.5 creed in Alpha brass that's not pushed hard. SAAMI chamber. I flame anneal every couple of firings. Question: Will never trimming begin...

    Why doesnt factory ammo have to chamfer the necks?

    I'd like to know about the three differences I see between factory match and our handloads. 1. Why do we have to chamfer necks but some of the best factory ammo out there does not? How do they get away with it? 2. Why does factory ammo have a ton of neck tension, but we're all kinda...

    Chambering question

    I'm wanting a 6.5cm chamber, that has a slightly shorter free bore than the typical saami spec reamers out there. Do I have to order a custom reamer, or does the smith just not plunge the reamer in so deep to get that shorter freebore. Anyone know?

    Almost no neck tension on new brass?

    Ran into something odd a few days ago with some new Alpha 6.5cm brass. Grabbed some virgin cases to start loading for a new gun, and wasn't happy with the .262 expander ball in my Forster sizing die; I could feel not a whole lot of resistance (there was some, but not what I was wanting) when...
