I contacted the seller and he said there is no way he sent the wrong barrel and that my action is the issue. I handed it off to a local smith today to look at and hopefully clean up. His thoughts were that if he ran a tap and die over all the threads, I would be back in business. I will keep...
It was 28 degrees out so that might be why it was a little slower. My chrono has been accurate up to date and the 7wsm rounds I fired were showing me that the chrono was still working.
I tried some IMR4350 with some 165 hot cors this weekend and got really low speeds. 57.4-2612/57.7-2592/58-2625. I didn't have pressure signs. Woud you keep climbing or switch to something else? I have some RL22 and H4350. Thanks
ShadeTree, is correct, I attempted to thread the barrel. I had the barrel in the vice, started the action with the wrench. I'm guessing I made 3-5 spins with the wrench and started hearing/feeling something wrong, so I backed it off and found the damaged threads on the barrel. After that, I...
Let's say a guy ordered a Remage barrel and after attempting to put it on a Rem 700 action the barrel threads are now messed up. After researching and talking to a gunsmith it is determinted that a Savage barrel was shipped.
The barrel was going on with some resistance then suddenly became...
I have a Rem 700 I would like to rebarrel to 7-08. I have most of the tools to put on a prechambered screw on barrel. At the end of the day, it would be about $600 to get a 22" barrel on the action if I did it myself. I could also send it to a respectable company and have them spin on a new...
This past summer my buddies dad called me and said he had a Rem 700 bull barrel in 6mmRem that can't shoot a decent group and wanted help. I got the rifle and cleaned it really well, put a newer scope on it and took the factory ammo he had to the range. At 100 yards, I shot a 4"/3 shot group. I...
I have a TriggerTech and bullets on the way.
I grabbed some 165 Hot Cor bullets to try as well.
The 30-30 is ready to go with 160 Hornady bullets. That was an easy rifle to get set up.
It has been a while since I've posted. Life has been busy. I want to share my next to reloading adventure with the group.
The first rifle is my dad's Rem 700 Mnt Rifle. He has had it for a number of years and has shot Fushion ammo with good luck. In the past few years, he has been using...
