I lucked out and called Brux right after I ordered the reamer to see how far out they were running .338 barrels, he said we're setting up today to start running them next week. So I had the barrel in two weeks. I would have checked on Hart or Shilen if they would have been months out, just...

(y) I like the looks! If shoots as smooth and good as it looks, you gatta real keeper! Did you leave the entire barrel free floated?

1-10 22", I would lean more to 20" than I would 24", but for me the 22" would be it's happy place in this caliber on this short a case. with the 22' I don't see much gain in 24" ballistics, and also would not expect much from 22" going to 20", I'd ride the middle of the rode for a sweeter...

Exactly Ernie, amazing how some people expect every other person to agree with them. It is also why I leave the religion and politics out of the shooting sports. I am here to learn and help others that share my interests in shooting. I refuse to expect them to run out and shoot or or do as I do...

I agree on the 3 months. Did not get in on the sale, but the 24th of Dec. I made my order, with a LA 700 St.St. Standard bolt face, along with the Blackrock stock, new mottom metal follower mag bx and spring, as well as the reamer and the go gauge. i got the mag box and follower immediately. I...

Welcome Back, I'm new here but been doing this for over half a century. I have 3 Meopta scopes, 2 Optika 6 and one Optika 5, I love them. Meopta makes Zeiss scopes, for sure the Conquest line, and I'm prety sure their Meostar line is the same as the higher priced Divari series? Not sure but I...

10 to 20 minutes, that includes removing my scope and reinstalling it and back into the stock. I recommend a sharp shooter supply barrel nut wrench, it has each type of the barrel nuts covered, one on each end, and any descent barrel vice. I set my headspace up with a resized empty brass using...

not really shivering. It wasn't ideal but things were melting, and starting to now make mud, don't know which I hate more, the frozen tundra, or the slightly warmer playing in the mud? But Thanks I took my time and was pretty solid, plus with this trigger Fred made for this gun, it makes...

You got that right, but it's the best thing everyone's got to look forward to! If they don't like this, they're going to hate the alternative,,,

Finally, a little windy, but above freezing got me out for a second time in midday high 30's. I'm still waiting on my sizing bushings for the 287" loaded diameter necks. Right now I'm using the Forester FL that sizes the necks with no inside colet, to 279". So then I have to run them thru my...

Hope you get those ticked off your bucket list! The AI version of the 250 is like the &x57 and 257, for much the same reason. I new how good this Roberts cartridge was the first time I built one 30 year ago, even before I made it an Ackley. I also had 223, 22-250, 7x57, 30-06, and soon will...

It's been nearly 30 years since I built me first 257 AI, and a week ago I took possession of my second. I have built 2 6mm Rem. AI in that time, which is on the same case, and my favorite in these calibers. Both about as efficient as you can get for the caliber. But I found the 257 AI was just...

Those are great camo paint jobs. I used the Krylon on a couple rigg's years ago, just cleared them with some clear Krylon, I called this one Steelhead on a hard chrome 580 Remington Custom I used this one on a couple varmint rigs. Called it Salmon This one I spray bombed with Kustom Colors...

New to me means just that. It might be a used rifle, action or a new in the box. But however I get it, it will be built my way to mean new to me. The last new gun in the box I bought was a Savage Axis in 223 youth stock in Muddy Girl camo, I never fired a round in it till I got it setup my...

The #1 has always been a very elegant styled gun in my opinion, even in that barbaric caliber that has not changed. Truly an American Legend in any caliber.Yours is no exception, Beautiful gun! Just me, but I would leave the scope thats on it where it is, not much on 2-10X scopes of any make on...

I'm right now in the process of having a new LR Varmint rig being built. Dropped off the Laminated Walnut heavy Varmint Stock, 28" Brux HV barrel, Blueprinted Axis action with the bushed firing pin hole and smaller dia. pin, and my new 257 AI .291" NK reamer, to my gunsmith Tuesday afternoon...

My main reason is headspace, I like the sharper shoulder, I also know the less body taper and sharper shoulder aid less brass stretching on all my other AI cartridges. I More shoulder is another reason I chose the 338 over the whelen. Same brass, same caliber same powder and bullets, but the AI...

I have never personally seen my best accuracy jumping bullets, velocity yes, accuracy never. But I never run a seating test changing .015" at a time, maybe thats why. I never change my seating depth more than .005" if I am serious about finding my "optimum" seating depth for any given bullet. I...

Good information, thank you. One thing I won't be doing is using factory, or anyone else's loads in my rifles. I been loading for over 50 years and in the past 3 decades have never shot anything but my own handloads in my centerfire rifles and handguns. Main reason, I want total control and the...

One thing I will never again do, especially for deer and smaller big game, is shoot a solid copper or monolith bullet. Even hard cast is more favorable for me in the big bore revolvers. The reason I say never again is, I will not use 12 ga. for deer again when I am limited to no bottleneck...
