    Remington 700 SPS out of box MOA

    Hovis KM, Have you tried partial length resizing, holding back your resizer about 0.040"-0.050"? If it shoots, you might have found the problem.

    Barrel weight

    Fellas, What would be the practical upper limit for barrel weight, when attaching to an M700 action, freefloated in a bedded McMillan A5 stock? Thank you, Longshooter

    Projectile specific accuracy.

    You might try partial length resizing of the fired brass. This will keep the case and part of the neck more fully filling the chamber, while providing better alignment of the bullet to the bore. Adjust the die, say, to stop about 0.100" short of camover. You will still need to do load...

    chamber roundness

    A. Weldy. Your method is good, however, I would use a slightly different method to clock the measurement. I would take an automotive degree wheel, slightly larger than the chuck, cut it in half at the 0.0 degree position, then situate it between headstock and chuck. With action attached, level...

    Anybody re-cut a choke bore.............

    Currently, I am shooting alot of trap, much of it registered. 30 years ago, I shot skeet, and a gunsmith I knew would remove the forcing cone, if you desired. I never did that. But, I would now like to know if there are any positive attributes to doing this. Would you expand a little, on...

    Does the angle of the case shoulder have any bearing on throat erosion?

    Let's consider this. The base of the bullet has departed the case. Now, the expanding gas mass is leaving the constraints of the case, and impinging on the base of the bullet, and the surrounding countryside (barrel). The velocity of these gases is, of course, very high. The base of the...

    New Digital headspace gauge

    At first glance, it would seem that Larry's tool is not a headspace gage. However, I believe that if he were to complete the other half of his innovative design, then it would be. If I were him, I would consider it a work in progress. longshooter

    Shooting with dominant eye?

    As I am preparing to restart skeet and trap shooting, I am dealing with cross dominance, where when I shoot right handed, the left eye vision comes into play, trying to center the rib between eyes. I have heard that the hi-viz front sight might be a help in maintaining proper eye dominance...

    30 cal/10 twist...shortest bullet ??

    Mike, 300 WM 10 twist, I load, carry and hunt small game and varmints with the Speer 110g spire point. Very accurate in my rifle, even with long jump to lands. I load it to 1800-2000 fps for slow loads, and 3600 fps for faster, flatter loads. I usually always carry the slow and fast 110s...

    Brass fit from one rifle to another ???

    Dennis, It seems like you would need a F.L. die that compliments the match chamber in the new barrel. For example, my .300 win mag rcbs die gives me 0.001" bump, and 0.0012" sizing at the case above the belt, and reduces the shoulder diameter 0.004". I consider my chamber to be max sammi, but...

    Shoot em till the primers fall out ?

    Lynn, How about this idea of "dishing" or radiusing the case head, so that upon firing, the re-flattening of the case head, tightens up the primer pocket? Would this method save alot of your brass your tossing? longshooter
