Thanks, I was thinking I bit off more than I could chew for a bit there. Also was not as well prepared as I coul have been. Ended up using JB weld origanal formula as all I could find that people had used. Sounds like it not a popular option. I did have lots of clean up but action clean. I think...
Done deal. I ended up fumbling around and doing it myself, had trouble here and there learned how not to do it next time, but turned out well I think real solid and floating. Next time will be much easier.
I think it will be all good, I am just ignorant on the subject and after studing it a bit think it wont be a tough job for a smith to handle. Put a little coin in the shop to as he gets the good powders and primes and rooting for them to stay open and avaible for my needs. I need need need all...
Thanks guys, have not done anything and have not spoke with smith about fit yet. If I could take to machine shop like my old job it would be done. He did give loose quote prior to me getting stock about 150 for bed as I told him it would already have pillars but I expect that price to go up a...
Pretty sure the problem is at the action screw area get big movement when this is torched down but the oppisite side of where you are talking about RL338. The barrel rises as it pivots on that high, which also burries the saftey slide into stock. I think if rear block area was milled flush to...
Is this what you mean as bottom metal? Because on my stock there is a step right here creating a high and definately not level. Trigger gaurd side appears to be level and flush. Stock photo is were step is and raises high.
Perhaps as I've just eyeballed it. I have contact on both sides above mag well currently. The screws went in pretty easy would this mean it is center? I will try the lips stick trick as I was try to think of a way to show highs and lows. That will do it.
Thanks Jim, I looked over your post quickly and that bedding jobs looks awsome. I will read it fully and I will definatly learn from that. Looks like the blocks are center but the block at the trigger guard screw has a heavy step on it from paint perhaps or just were the composite meets the...
Hey guys, just got my new B&C stock for Abolt and I really like it, but the fit is not good. I had planned on bedding it myself if it fit nice and did not need inletting. Unfortunately its gonna need some heavier grinding/sanding and would rather take it in to have it done.
When I mounted the...
Curious what you mean by stablize? As I do not trust my rcbs dies, its a costant battle. I switched to a Hornaday die for my recent work ups and every peice bumped within .0005 of each other on 40 pieces.. I would like to return mine but thought perhaps it was me as fairly new to this.
Thats a great store they had my brothers 338-378 norma brass the other day for like 2.50 a rd crazy never had seen it before and was on sale! Not sure they have the oryx anymore in 180s?
I mounted my 3x9x40 scope on the BAR and loaded two 5 set groups yesterday. I noticed on my notes I had a speed node and good sd/es between 56-56.7g regardless of seat, so loaded center node and best seat which was -.020 off jam with 56.4g of H4350 set of 5. I also will be testing 56.7g at...
I'm pretty new to reloading, but did develope right in the sun at 80 degee with Hunter and ELDX in 300wsm and lost about 20fps at 40 degrees. Both temps shot great. I will be watching this thread as I want to load my Abolt 30-06 with Hunter.
