    Ruger SFAR 308 as a backcountry rifle?

    Is there a way to tell if you need to use green loctite on the barrel extension?

H4350, IMR4198 (based of of tons of research and already testing, it works.), & varget. now, 4350 & varget have hodgen data for up to 130gr.

    Good info. I did find jam and was able to load it i think .020 from jam and shot that, .030 from jam was mag length iirc. He's messed with the boss before, and where he has it was the best he was able to do. I'm trying to remember but I believe another can we tried on it it shot worse. He's a...

    i have two BCA wylde rifles. im going to look at them soon. BTW, they have been great when there is an issue. Im sending back the .308 upper because 147gr nato ammo is 3moa. 180gr federal was much better but i didnt keep track. they replaced a 6.5cm barrel and bolt already. terrible accuracy and...

    I would have never figured a rifle costing what it did would have failed, his scope either. Its wild. Learn something new every day.

    Why is there lands in the freebore at all though? It shouldnt be there at all according to Sammi spec. Even if it was from cleaning, how would you get four land " rifling grooves" to wear evenly in distance from the chamber?

    Dad said the gun was always like a 4in gun at 200yds. Cant say im Surpised. My 80's savage was cut straight lol Browning says the gun is out of warranty. Purchased around 2003. They said ship it to them and they will look it over; maybe give a 40% discount on a new rifle. Gun shop he bought it...

    Well if your interpretation is correct then it's quite a bit off center. I'll have to check my 7 Mag when I get home, I know the other calibers that I have, have the lands going pretty close to the end at least from what I remember.

    Yes it is a factory Browning A bolt with the boss. What's also weird, is he said that he put a friend's suppressor on it and it shot tighter than it ever had. But I wasn't there to see what the grouping was, he's okay with minute of deer as long as he's able to kill deer which somehow he's...

    Groups havent been great. Sometimes it's shooting something that's still good enough and then it'll throw out a flyer and just make you scratch your head. One outing to the next and it seems like it shoots a bit different. 100yd powder test with 139gr sst. IMR 4350 59 grains to 61.5 grains I...

    This is a 7 mm Remington Magnum that we've had some accuracy issues with. The kahles getting fixed ended up being step one after we figured out the scope was an issue. 150 grain soft points off the shelf and some 120 grain Nosler ballistic tips that I hand loaded with IMR 4198 shoot the same...

    7mm Rem Mag vs the new age

    can confirm, bumping the shoulder .002 works just dandy.

    AR10 .243 & Berger 108gr elite hunters

    tech @ berger suggested the mag lip angle, so i tried that. a little upward angle added to the lips it was all it took!

    AR10 .243 & Berger 108gr elite hunters

    Has anyone else had issues with the bullet hitting the bottom of the chamber hole with these long bullets? tried poly and metal mag. it just ended up jamming the tip into the barrel hole face. it appears the slenderness is causing the tip to touch because the bullet isnt pointing up soon enough...

    Bolt action options

    .223/wylde, 20-24" barrel & threaded, want something to handle the 75-80gr long bullets and can be loaded into the lands/rifling if desired. Prefer a good trigger obviously, even with a few dollars or some time to make it happen is ok. I want a stock that is either already floated or can handle...

    Rifle support for load development

    how far off are we talking, 1in, or 3in? What if we had a sliding sled like some pro shooters use and the gun is strapped into at the butt end at two points so the stock/barrel arent fighting each other?

    Rifle support for load development

    Dad has a browning A bolt 7 rem mag with the boss "brake". Last shooting session we determined the Swarovski was bad. Hes got his old pentax on it that it sported years ago. We were using a old metal caldwell type sled. The recoil was a bit much on his shoulder after a bit. Yesterday we started...
