I buy only the blem SPS 115BT's. Makes the price about right. Mine came with gray tips instead of blue ones, but that's OK with me.

I haven't seen anyone mention polishing the chamber. There is some expert advice out there, I've done it and it works, but I'm not expert. There's a guy who calls himself Varmint Al who knows things.

I am a hobbyist - not a gunsmith. A friend's son owns one of these A500G's. The forearm split and a piece broke from the side near the gas port fitting. They brought me a crudely inletted forearm to fit, finish, and checker. I cleaned it all up and have the forearm fit. My question - either I...

There has always been a lot of variation in comb height on factory stocks. The lowest one I have (on a rifle designed for scope use) is on a T/C Encore synthetic "Pro-hunter". I'm a standard size guy and pretty much mount and hold in normal ways. No way could I get any cheek weld with that...

One Lee die I really like is their universal decapper. There are times I want to just knock out primers and polish up before running dirty brass through a sizer. Perfect for that!

Not a promotion - Mike at Flying Dragon does amazing pre-sales tuning, will talk to you on the phone. Highly respected. He spent a fair amount of time advising me when I had not purchased from him. I have a modified QB-78 with a valve upgrade and extra capacity CO2 bottle. Use an airgun specific...

Have experience with exactly ONE Model 70 New Haven 7mm WSM Coyote model. It is my son's. It is one of those setups that just came together easily, shot several bullets well, development was a snap, and the confidence got built. It just kills whatever it is shot at. When I had a little...

That hole is from s load I worked up for my 22-250. I’m using a Redding seating die. This rifle likes 150 gr bullets best out of everything I’ve tried out of so far. Well in that case, I wouldn't change a thing!! Still wonder about the mashed tip though! :grin: EE2

Was that hole 4" right and 2 1/2" up part of the 5 shots?? If so, I'd call that mixed results! That ring around the ogive must be from your seating die - maybe enough to distort the jacket? Also appears that the polymer tip has been shoved back and squashed out at it's base. Kinda looks like...

Me too. I hate the immediate self-doubt and rifle doubt that is created! Every time I've gone and set up a target at 100 yds. and re-shot after a miss, the rifle has been spot on. Nobody to blame but me! EE2

A little confused, and being a know it all, I'm curious. You say you didn't go far enough to the right. Not sure if you meant the peep or the POI? With irons, I was instructed to move the rear sight the direction you want POI to move - left in this case. Regardless, great rifle! EE2

Great sizing die adjustment instructions here. I still want to know what the OP's cases are showing - scratches or actual stretch marks. Another thing I do is take a rotary tool (Dremel) with a cutting wheel and section a case lengthwise. Nothing like seeing the inside. I have found a lot of...

Scratch or stretch??? We want to know..... I wouldn't go crazy with measuring chamber, cases or anything until determined what the "line" really is. EE2

Get one of those little magnetic LED lamp on a flexible stalk flashlights. Shine it down in the case from different angles. You will always see a pronounced shadow ring from case stretch before you can feel anything with wire or a paper clip. I get consistent scratches from my cartridge box...

Thanks, Dan! As I'm sure you could tell, this gorgeous animal was among the most meaningful I have ever harvested. Horns didn't matter. I spent most of September confirming where they were not, and getting in much improved condition. I have thoroughly enjoyed helping others get deer, antelope...

Thanks again everyone for your kind words. Yes, I am blessed in many ways...wife is #1. Here are a couple more pics...the dog Charlie doesn't pack BTW.

Thanks all you forum regulars! I've been on so many hunts and riflery experiences with you folks through your writings - I thought I'd try to give one back. Hope it wasn't too much of a novel.... EE2

Thanks, Europe! Glad you read it...EE2. NYDAN, that's my son's M70 Coyote 7mm WSM, 168 gr. Berger (gulp!) tack driver. About 3100 fps if I remember right.

I chose Elkeater2 as my posting name because over the years I've consumed my share and love it all. I got the first one, a little raghorn, in 1964. There were some nice 6x6's, a couple freaks, and many just average ones. There was a time when I surveyed and staked mining claims in the mountains...

I've got one of those, and I think mine is older and yours is later production. The tapered red cocking indicator on the end of the bolt, and the bolt handle shape is what I remember from the '60's. On mine, the safety is a left/right wing on the back of the bolt, and the bolt handle has more of...
