I ended up with a Browning A Bolt II 300WM in a trade. I had heard horror stories on removing barrels from these actions but it was not any harder than a Vanguard to remove, I did have to use a lathe to cut a small recess in front of the receiver and heat the barrel to break the Loctite, then...

I originally built this with a to light for caliber barrel and it was problematic. I re-barreled with a M24 taper Faxon barrel. Out at the range today, the rifle is shooting the federal fusion tipped 180gr over 91.5gr of N570 into a single hole, 7 shot group all can covered with a dime. Seems...

I have a 300 RUM I built on a Savage 110 action awhile back. I have noticed that when I take it to the range the first two shots impact the same point 5 inches above the bullseye (where it was zeroed when the barrel was already warm), then there after all the other rounds punch the X center...

I made it to the range today and decided to drag along a 30 Nosler I built a couple years ago. I had never worked a load and had only shot it once to check function after building it. I had lost interest in it after building my 26 Nosler as the 26 was so fast and accurate. I worked through some...

I looked all over for a suitable brake for my 22 Creedmoor with 5/8-24 threads. I also wanted ported holes and it just was not to be had, or at least I could not find one I liked. I decided to make my own. Should work nicely, I made it out of stainless to the same diameter as my barrel. I made 6...

My friends I thought I would share a FREE tool I have been using to help gather load data. While I do not recommend it as your ONLY source it is helpful in working up loads. ChatGTP is in my opinion amazing at helping me figure out all the uncommon loading I do. While I have and use Quick Load I...

Tomorrow I am going to try the 175gr Maker T-Rexx copper bullet in my 28 Nosler. There is no load data for this anywhere. I used Hammer and Barnes data along with QL data and came up with N570 at a starting load of 74gr. I loaded a string from 74 to 82 in one grain increments. Anyone see this as...

Is anyone else shooting a 28 Nosler with the 152gr Cutting Edge Maximus bullet? Looking for known accurate load recipes you are be willing to share

I recently came into a Marlin MR7 in .270 the owner could never get it to group and we did some trading. The rifle is mostly a Winchester 70 with a Remington style barrel and a Ruger bolt handle. As I have no interest in .270 I decided to build it in 30-06. After tearing it apart I quickly...

I spent this weekend putting this together Action - Mauser 98 Bruno Stock -Parker Hale Barrel - Krieger heavy 1:8 twist I chambered it in 6.5-284 using a custom reamer with a .294 neck I added a side safety Timney trigger adjusted to a clean 1lbs I topped it off with a 6-24x50 Arken Scope...

Finished up two old Mauser project builds today, no worries I would never tear apart war guns, these were just parts and pieces I have had laying around and a couple ole actions from a bygone era of my building rifles. The first one is in 6.5x55 Swede Built on a M98 Styer action Krieger 1:8...

So the story goes I bought a LOAD of 6.5-300 WBY Mag brass about half of it unfired, the other half fired. The new brass chambered as it should, the once fired brass (from someone else's rifle) would not. It had the bulge above the rim. I also have a .257 WBY mag that the brass is starting the...

Finished my Savage 110 6.5-300 Weatherby build today. This rifle started life as a 30-06. The stock is a Savage Accustock I custom painted and baked with KG Gunkote I had to do a little machining on the receiver and added bottom metal and an extra length mag for seating these already long...

After the Savage AXIS build in 300WSM the "Smacksys" only one of its kind, my friend asked me to do the same to his .243 Mossberg Patriot. I dug around my pile of barrels and found a nice heavy profile .308 barrel that I chambered in 300wsm and threaded for the Mossberg (Same as a Savage) and...
