Believe what you are talking about if I understand it right is an abrasion ring in the jacket material at the point where the seater stem contacts the bullet, as pressure increases on seating the stem a little factory finish is taken off. DR

Welcome. I am guessing by the description you have the new SVT model 84M. Its speced at a 1 in 9 twist. It may be better to try a heavier bullet 55 to 60 gr. Also if not reloading now, then you should start. As another poster wrote proper breakin of the barrel is a must for any rifle. Shoot...

To answer your question, if the 243 with 80 grain core loks kicks to much for ya, then YES all the calibers above it will definately pop you more. Common fact, the larger the bullet diam, weight, and powder charge for the same or close velocity, in the same weight of rifle, it is going to...

Would have to agree with a couple of other posters, that for what you are wanting the 243 win is hard to beat. Its very versatile, handles 50 grain to 100 grain pills without problems, has very decent trajectory, and if not a reloader ammo is very easy to find just about anywhere. On the subject...

I wouldnt really call it Bubbaizing, although it still could be a good term for it :D but in this forum, Having a factory rifle that has been tuned, and tested to the point where the shooter has extreme confidence that out of a cold barrel, thier first shot at 100, 200 or 300 yards is going to...

Murphy, its interesting mainly due to the fact that all my factory rifles have ended up liking anywhere from .005 to .02 below factory C.O.L for a given bullet. examples Ruger .243, 75 gr Hornady, factory 2.640, my actual seating is 2.635 Remington 700 .243 100 gr Sierra SPT 2.650, actual 2.630...

The stoney point will give you a good place to start, to say that down to the thousandths with one is not obtainable you are not entirely correct. After initial measurements with the stoney point came up with a good starting point, I was able to consistently back off and find where the rifle...

Murphy did you measure the COL or just with a stoney point ? If so, how close was it to the factory COL for the cartridge and bullet weight ? DR

My experience is If you have the trigger done, and the action bedded, this in itself should not do what you state, but floating the barrell on a factory rifle can cause problems. You have removed a pressure point on the on the front of the forearm ( which Remmy sporter wieghts are known for)...

Right on Al :D, Kimber makes a really nice 1911 pistol. but the quality of rifle leaves ALOT to be desired. DR

Been reading this thread for awhile now, and responed once, but feel the need to do so again due to people not understanding the views of Jackie an Al. They both make good points, and the "scary weapon" comment is valid. Posting a quote from wikipedia. "The term sniper was first attested in...

The XP-100 was based on a short action bolt action carbine, the Model 600, with a 10 3/4" barrel set into a nylon stock with an unusual center-mounted grip. Chambered in .222 Remington in early prototypes, the short barrel produced significant noise and muzzle flash. Subsequently the case was...

Danny, What my definition of a "scary weapon" is encountering any human being that is intent on killing you with any and all means possible, and without any regards to thier own well being. DR

175+ :mad: I guess there has to be scum sucking, bottom feeding, dirt bags in every bunch. Personally I am not hurting, but if I was out, I wouldnt pay that, and if it was a store I would never cross thier door again. Guess its time to break out the ole fishing poles, and Red Ryder. :D:D

Absolutely not. :)

If you got a + or - 1.5grs on the brass, I wouldnt worry about it. I have seen alot worse results. Good Luck DR

John S Point of transition will work I guess, but your semi wadcutter statement is a fact as far as " shoulder", because it just does not apply to the ogive. The Ogive is an arc, no shoulder. But there is a shoulder in the base of a new boat-tail design. will post a link. But for another...

Exact definition of ogive, picture included. Applied physical science and engineering A secant ogive of sharpness E = 120 / 100 = 1.2In ballistics or aerodynamics, an ogive is a pointed, curved surface mainly used to form the approximately streamlined nose of a bullet or other projectile...

Dis the NRA if you want to, for what ever reason, but they are the only ones who have been around for 138 years. and I know for a fact will fight for my right to own a firearm or to hunt. NRA Life DR
