    Daydreaming the next rifle build...

    That is what I built my 264WM on with a 25" standard rem sporter contour , I wasn't going for the lightest I could build, but it is in the 8# range and could drop 4-5oz just replacing the SS bottom metal with Alum.

    Another question for all us hunters: Favourite method?

    I guess my method would be considered spot and stock, but it is mostly taking a longish hike with a rifle and backpack and hoping if/when you "spot" something worth "stalking" that you are not already too far from the truck. Sometimes I get lucky 😁

    Daydreaming the next rifle build...

    Gil, I guess it depends on what you want to do with the rifle, you know the 700 has any aftermarket part you would ever need. I've only had 1 xbolt. But the Sako is my favorite, i like the butterly smooth bolt, the trigger, the safety, and flush detachable magazine.

    To anneal or not?

    Dan, is that the same as the salt bath using a lee pot, I've been tempted to try that, but the lead would be much easier to get ahold of vs the salts. I may have to reach out and pick your brain a little.

    Chronograph

    I have the magneto and haven't had any issues, it was my first chrono. Can take a little getting used to, and remembering how to navigate through the display, dont forget the instruction sheet at home. It was nice for checking velocities and looking for a node, but always took it off for...

    cartridge or pistol brand snob

    Yes the overall widths are different between the single and double stack, but the frame on the single is the same between calibers and you can change the grip panels to make it slimmer or wider, the grip module on the double are basically the same between the different calibers

    Speer deep curl?

    I have them for my 25.06, when i was researching they sometimes caused pressure spikes, so they started coating them. They shoot fine as I recall but only loaded a couple dozen. And now that im writing this I think I have some 6.5 too that ive never messed with.
