@NYDAN - great report with pictures. Also, if someone had a slug barrel on the shotgun then some of the parts are not used. It's easy to then forget them when swapping back. I find that foaming bore cleaner down the barrel will work its way through the gas port and let you know if it's open...

There should be an o-ring in there. In my experience, many of the substitute o-rings available are not the right size with regard to total diameter or thickness. You may want to see if you can find a real Remington o-ring, or consider looking at a few different sources. Don't forget to clean...

I use H-1000 with that weight.

I had issues based on where the muzzle was in relation to the LabRadar. I moved to using a trigger, and no problems since. The biggest problem is if I forget to attach the trigger to the barrel or action before I shoot. Here is one type: https://jklprecision.com/product/labradar-trigger-gen-2/...

Don't forget, the 30 TC is really the 30 Creedmoor. I believe that you can resize 6.5 CM brass to 30 caliber and shoot away. That gives you a lot of options regarding brass, as long as you don't mind the headstamp variance.

I'd probably do a Barnes 140 TTSX or 139 LRX. But, that's just me. I've been very impressed with the TTSX on elk as well as all plains game in Africa.

What size do you consider medium grit?

I've been trying to find the Tipped Fusion bullet as a component to try for reloading, but so far no luck. I have said for years that the regular Fusion bullet is a much better bullet than anyone gives it credit. Some of the recent weight retention tests show that it keeps >95% of its weight...

I assume you mean game animal. Domestically, elk. Best I've had? Zebra. It tastes like the absolute best beef you've ever had. Highly recommended.

Which model? Picked up a "scratch and dent" Guide model in 6.5 CM (can I say that?) when there in October. I really like it.

I've had two B&C that fit poorly. Same style stock for same model rifle. The first one I modified to fit, as it was close enough. The forend bent too high, and it was a challenge to remove enough material to free float the barrel. The second one was much worse. B&C gave me the old "it fits our...

I've never sent in a CDS certificate yet; I just order a label. For some rifles I have 2 or 3, and can swap them depending on load and elevation.

If you know your bullet, speed and elevation, these are not expensive. I use them on many rifles: https://customturretsystems.com/

Have you ever seen a 7mm Wby in a Vanguard? I don't recall ever seeing one, and definitely don't own one in that configuration.

I have two different sizes of the JetSled. It was developed here in Michigan, and I knew the owners of the company (Shappell). I had dinner with them at the SHOT show a few times. Both great guys who were meticulous about details. My Dad did all of their ice fishing shanty importing for many...
