I really haven't used them much, considering how many Rugers I own. I did have a brand new Bearcat that was out of time. They paid the shipping both ways and had it back to me in a week.

Hunter is one of my favorite powders, it is exceptional in my 6.5 Creedmoor and is showing decent accuracy in my 300 Win Mag.

Yea that is a the trigger a friend is going with. It is very similar to the Trigger Tech, except for being a lot more money. I do like the two stage offering, TT doesn't have a two stage option.

I never did contact them but I got a few boxes of .223 brass with chewed up mouths. They were a good price on SPS but they were labeled as over runs and came in the high dollar black boxes.

So I'm now reviewing my Western Powders reloading guide and they used Win brass. Their loads are even higher than Nosler. I'm curious as to the various case weights out there.

I haven't done any testing with the Nosler brass, it was picked up at the range. Its a good thing too, I'd really be scratching my head right now if I hadn't found out how much more this weighs than the data brass. So my FC test piece weighed 254.7 grains empty and 347.2 grains full, for 92.5...

I had to tap the bolt open with a start load of RL17 today so I gotta figure something else out.

Maybe I wasn't quite specific enough. How would you approach data developed for a significantly lighter case like in my example? Is it something people notice? I know some manuals don't give the test brass, and one of the nice features of Nosler 7/8 is that they do give H2O capacity (although...

I'm not worried about the 1-2 grain variations, I'm concerned about the 30+ grain variation from test data. A friend is loading 7MM Weatherby and he has RP brass and Wby brass. The RP brass is 25 grains heavier. Start loads are pushing the limit in his gun.

Most of my rifle reloading involves brass that doesn't weigh much different than the test brass in manuals. I am careful with military 308 brass which is heavier than commercial brass. I segregate that stuff. My 300 Win Mag project is a little more tricky though. My Nosler 8 manual has all...

I won't pay my gunsmith to install it, the Trigger Techs come from Canada and are at least a month out plus whatever it takes to get over the border. http://www.triggertech.com/rem-700.html

My gunsmith won't work on the new ones. He says the amount of work required is more labor than just buying a good one.

I'm pretty used to the two stage Ruger trigger and I like those. The Trigger Tech has a roller bearing so it's supposed to be quite smooth. My gunsmith sells them for $165 so it's priced along with the Timney. I've used other Timneys and I like them. I think I'm going to try the Trigger Tech...

My new Remington has a junk trigger and worst of all it is inconsistent in pull weight. My gunsmith likes and sells Trigger Tech triggers. I've also been looking at the Timney two stage. What do you guys like?

There are lots of designs so you can go pretty cheap and make your own. Look up some Form 1 designs. Also a SilencerCo Harvester is about $600 then your Form 4 is another $200. They are a perfect can for hunting use since they are very light.

The various belted mags headspace on the belt, so yes chamber dimensions are quite varied.

It is definitely worth it. I used a suppressor on my 6.5 Creedmoor for this past years deer. The cost is high but its a one time thing. Current rifle suppressors are very durable, light, and versatile.

Thanks Scott, I'll look into them. I'm not worried about the thread job, he is good at what he does and he has done several just like that for me in the past and they have all come out perfect.

He put the whole barreled receiver in his lathe and cut the threads.

Have any of you guys with heavy recoiling Rem 700s switched the scope base mounting from 6-32 to 8-40? I was at the gunsmith this morning getting my new 300 Win Mag threaded and he brought it up. To do the front one I'd have to remove the barrel. I thought about doing the rear 3 in 8-40 and...
