I've had good experiences with RCBS... also Redding (mfg most of my dies) and a couple of other gun stuff suppliers.
Why are gun product manufacturers so much more responsive / customer service oriented than is typical among other product makers? At this point, the gun companies do it to...
Mailed my Rem 700 Sendero II to the factory for repair on 4 Aug; received it back on 2 Sep. Told them I fired a hot load, damaged the bolt shroud. Paperwork returned with it said it was warranty work, no charge.
Not to defend Remington ( I don't think the rifle has ever been as accurate as it...
Thanks for the load data and comments. I really want to use the 115g Noslers in this rifle - but if this doesn't work, I'm gonna try something different... maybe this rifle just doesn't like them.
Anyone tried and had success with Nos 115g BT and AA 3100? Its one of the three powders listed on the Nosler site. Any known rationale for listing these three? I notice the three loads are slower than most loads for 115g-120g bullets (2581 to 2884 fps), and the load densities are relatively...
Remington says they had a "special production run" of Sendero II in
25-06. The calibber is not a standard offering, and not listed on their web page but, as stated above, there are a bunch of them around since late last summer.
I'm misunderstanding something... the XCR is adjustable - at least the pull weight. The literature says its a one screw adjustment (and stipulates the other two don't require adjustment). As mentioned above, took me 30 minutes to (carefully) get the sealer off, but only five to adjust the...
Called the seller last night, told him I'll buy it. Price is fair... but now have to get the loading set up, components, etc- more business for Midway... probqbly want a new scope... think I'm going to invest at least the cost of the rifle to get it shooting, but that's where much of the fun...
I'm thinking about buying a Cooper Mdl 22 in 6mm BR. Its a pretty thing... but don't know much about Cooper Arms, or 6mm BR, other than what is available on the web. Any opinions, thoughts, personal experiences?
I shoot varmints and targets; longest distance range I can access is 850 yards...
Either will probably shoot a 50gr, but the 1-14 twist probably won't handle a 60 gr ball. 55gr is generally considreed max for 1-14 twist; I can't find a 55 gr ball my Rem 700 22-250 will shoot (good with a 53 gr match, or lighter ball, though).
Given vatiations among rifles, its possible you...
3/4" if the round has to magazine, .5" if I load/shoot one at a time. I only shoot varmints & paper using factory rifles, but can almost always meet this standard.
WSSM. About four years ago, decided I had to have one. Won a Weatherby in a raffle, traded the dealer for a Winchester M70 in 243. Won the rifle, built a load for it, then figured out I have no real use for it. I now take it out once a year, fire five rounds thru it, clean it, back in the...
Absolutely. "Need" and "Want" sometimes become confused in my mind, especially concerning guns, women and pick up trucks. Its a weakness I'm working on in my spare time....
Based on what I've read and suggestions received on this site, I bought the setup kraky described above - a Lee Collet die and Redding body die- for the rifle I use for 300 - 700 yard shots. Haven't used the body die yet (too cold to shoot and expand cases) but the collet die is quicker and...
I get 3/8" to 1/2" MOA groups using 25.5 gr of Varget, 55 gr Vmax.
Rifle is 22" barrel 1-9 twist Tikka, so not a direct comparison, but there are Varget loads in every manual (I'm a Varget fan) so I would think you could find one that works.
Its a penetrating oil; use it straight from the can. It has slight lubricating qualities, but its primary use is cleaning.
I run a patch wet with Kroil thru a warm bore before I leave the range, while the barrel is still warm. I usually clean the following day, but longer is OK - the Kroil...
