I am in the same situation. But mine is a Rem 700 DM with a 20 inch barrel in 30-06. I am looking at the 25-06 for a lightweight shooter and less recoil. Still on the 700 Long Action but I plan to go with the Remage barrel. I ruled out the 280 since I already have a 7MM Rem Mag I can load...
Well that is Cool. But I have not had much luck with the CFE 223 in my 700PSP in 308. Varget has always been the go to and has worked the best in my rifle.
Anything would help. This is a 7-30 JDJ so there is not much information out there about the fire forming process. Only a couple of loads given when contacting JD Jones directly. H4350 is definitely the most accurate powder I can find. Is this the norm for the 7-30?
Any trouble necking down the brass? I know some say to use 243 but those end up being short so plan to use some 308's. Should I neck turn them for uniformity?
I just purchased a 260 Remington T/C Custom Shop barrel at a Gun show. I am looking for reloading info I can get. I will be fire forming from 308 cases since I have several hundred extra on hand. What is the best bullet for a 1/8 twist for this caliber? I am considering the 130 gr range for...
I have recently purchased a 7-30 Waters / JDJ barrel from a guy and every case that I have shot has split. They were reformed 30-30 cases, annealed and fire formed to the barrel. Does anyone know if this is a common? The brass cases came with the barrel and I have about 150 of them. But with...
Run a bore sight down it and see if there is fouling. No way the barrel is shot out at 25 rounds, not even broke in at that point. Might be a powder charge error too. Try disassembly of one round and reweigh powder
There is no way it burnt out after 25 rounds. If it was that hot it most likely would have blown the primers out and or split the barrel. He should try cleaning it first and getting the crude out of it. Might be unburnt powder and copper fouled if he was running hot. Could have burnt the...
