Hmm anyone with a link or suggestion on where to look? Thanks guys.

I did not think of that Pop. I am skeptical to go in the rough terrain we encounter in the hills here that I wouldn't damage the threads if they were exposed. The terrain and me are very hard on equipment. Think it would be ok?

I don't use the ladder method exactly, but think that you can look at the point of it as a way of developing a load any way that you want. ie: I make up 3 loads of each powder charge and shoot one group at a time at targets lined up next to each other. I can often see the relation to where...

I certainly appreciate all of the ideas. I know I don't need to cut down the stock, if anything the 14 1/4" LOP is still too short! I assumed that very thick pad I put on would make all the difference in the world, but like I said, only on the bench, it beats you up. If I was to hold the...

Oh, also I have this crazy weird obsession with only using Hodgdon Extreme powders. It's kinda weird, but I feel more comfortable. Oh, and Nosler bullets as well. If it won't shoot well with Hodgdon's and Noslers, you will see it on gunbroker.

Changing the length makes sense to me and trying to achieve accuracy with the load you want to use. It is very frustrating to find a gun that shoots minimum loads well and max loads bad. I found that changing the OAL was very influential on group size for my .270 win. This was the first time...

The gun has a 1 3/8" thick Kickeez pad on it to increase the LOP for me. It is just on the bench that it is bad. Shooting it standing, sitting, or kneeling it is not bad at all. On the bench, I hold it so lightly that it snaps violently up and to the right (I do not touch the gun with my left...

I have a Browning A bolt in .325 WSM, and the recoil is stout for shooting a lot off a bench. I have always been scared of muzzle brakes because of the increase in shot volume. I am wondering if there are any styles of brakes that are effective in reducing felt recoil that aren't going to kill...

Can you guys believe that I have never used neck sized brass with this gun? It gets hard to chamber the cartridge after 2 or so neck sizes, and after all, it doesn't appear to need it anyway. This was brand new, never fired brass without uniforming the primer pockets, or deburring the flash...

I will try to play with the seating depth. The issue is that the magazine has to be modified to accept anything longer than the standard 2.840." I will try seating them a little shorter, and a little longer (if I can at all). How much should I alter OAL with each group?

I shot my 325 WSM Browning A bolt Stainless Stalker today at the range. Wind was calm, and temp about 10 degrees Farhenheit. This thing kicks hard off a bench! Anyway, the group isn't that great, but it is a good load as I think I pulled one shot a bit. No other shots in the test batches...

comparison of OAL. Same load otherwise.

There are no signs of pressure at all with this load. I actually do not get much case length expansion, or flattened primers. It is no where near the gun's max. I have shot higher charges, 60 grains, 60.5 and it didn't show signs then either, other than starting to string shots. I shot...

I had a chance to chrono my favorite hunting load for my .270 the other day. It is 59.0 grains of H4831sc, Rem brass, fed.210M, and of course, a 130 grain Nosler ballistic Tip. It came over teh chrony at 3157fps. This is a regular Browning A bolt with only a 22" barrel. Most manuals put this...

Are there sharp edges that are causing your finger to be messed up? Is the gun stainless? I had to smooth out the trigger on my GP100 becasue it had sharp edges and gave me a blood blister on my trigger finger. It was very simple to do this. I touched it lightly with a dremel and LOW speed...

The lockup was really tight on the older .35 Remington barrel.

I'm shipping it to TC today. I will let you guys know how I make out. Thanks for everything. Oh and by the way, I did get a lady on the phone that just said "oh" adn "wow" when I told her the issue. She also said "You should send it in so a tech can look at it. "

I had a hard time getting a hold of someone at TC. This stinks.

I just talked to a guy on specialty pistols website, and he says it is most likely that the frame is worn out were the locking lugs on the barrel go under. It is a shelf, and when it becomes rounded, the barrel will not lock up tight. I thought it was the hinge pin as well, but he thinks not...

I just recieved a new TC 6.8 spc barrel and it does not lockup tight when open or closed. I can feel a wobble to the setup? What do I do? Is it safe to shoot? Will there be accuracy issues? The barrel is NEW! :x
