What’s the consensus on velocity “flat spots” anyways? Anyone schooled up in stats knows that 1-3 rounds at each charge isn’t a very good sample size. The guys that only shoot one round per charge and call it a flat spot kind of baffle me.
There’s a really good thread over on snipershide about...
Have you heard of the clicker issue with brass in saami spec chambers? I think there’s a good thread over on longrangehunting.com. Basically the clearance between the chamber and the case web doesn’t allow for any growth, so you get clickers after a few reloads. I think there’s some custom...
Looking to buy a seek outside SXL box stove for an upcoming hunt. Looks like seek outside is expecting 1-2 weeks shipping time on one and the timing isn’t going to work unfortunately. 9 foot pipe or bigger if possible.
Nothing like waiting till the last minute.
Not a clue!

Wyatts box
Maybe bartlein barrel? #3? No carbon. Carbon barrels don’t do it for me for some reason.
Stock? I have an allterra on a semi custom tikka. I like it a lot but I might go with a manner or McMillan this time around. Honestly I’m open to any and all...
Quoting people 16 weeks, said most are done in 6 weeks. 10 long actions at the nitride facility for “in stock” actions that should be back in less than 2 weeks. I’m going to snag one of those.
Shows how much I know about bdl. I went ahead and called up kelbly. Looks like the Atlas tactical comes in an extended box cut! Went ahead and placed an order for one. Seems like those actions have a pretty big following. Pretty excited for my first full custom!
Hahah yeah that was the first thing I checked. Looks like they have some reasonable options to replace. I do like the crf to be honest. I know that dead horse has been beaten multiple times over.
Does anyone use a kelbly Atlas action? I guess it is cut to fit wyatts 3.825 box. I wonder how...
It’s a long action magnum boltface with the open top. So that’s the bdl compatible action. I’m very torn on whether or not it’s worth it with the complexity of the action. Have you had any issues with it?
I was looking at the razor too. Those two configs are top end of the budget for sure. I wanted to see if I could sneak by with an origin or atlas but from everything I’ve seen it doesn’t look like the Wyatt’s boxes are a bolt on application. I will reach out to them both tomorrow.
Still torn on...
I need to be schooled up on bdl custom actions for 300 prc/sm/wm.
i want to start building a 30 for the elk woods hopefully by next year. Still haven’t decided on which exact 30 I want to do but I know that I want it to be running out of a bdl system.
That being said I’ve never owned a rifle...
Damn that’s pretty eye opening. He should be good at reading pressure signs, and unfortunately I am out of town on work for another week and a half. I’ll probably just wait until I get back and actually do the work up myself.
In the meantime, if anyone has any data for that combo that they’d...
Got it. To ease minds a little bit I do know that the brass is all 1x fired federal factory loads, bumped back .003. All fired from said rifle in question. I do have the ladder for him to shoot to check for pressure starting at 71.8 gr. Do you think it’s ok to have him start with that ladder? I...
Hey everyone quick question.
This is my first go at reloading for this caliber and I’m putting together some rounds for a friend. He’s running a tikka 300wm 1:11” with the stock bottom metal. So pretty limited on COAL for this particular round.
He scooped up some 200gr eldx bullets and has a...
