I want to piggyback I did not start the thread but I am thinking the same thing that the OP is and that I am looking for an action sleeve for Rem M700 short. A short action bolt with .222 bolt face is probably needed as well. I have a 17 Remington let go in the bolt face of my rifle and after...

Nice Jay, Glad to see that you are still enthusiastic about this craft. I love shooting mine and it is a true work of art. I was telling my wife the other day how these skills may disappear soon with these content absorbed kids. I have no machine skills but am a professional welder and we have...

Thanks Jim. That is appropriately December delivery huh? I will call today

Hi. Been a long time since I posted so forgive me if I ask a old question here. Can we still get a Marsh action? I tried the web and it didn’t look good. I regret not getting one when it was easier. Stiller made a little aluminum action too but I didn’t know that opportunity would be limited for...

Capacity I'm curious, what is the capacity difference between Lapua Grendel brass and 6 BR brass? For some I'm sure it's a bolt face issue and the point is moot but for others is this a realistic comparison? I have always wondered how a 6br would do at 100-200 in with a 80gr bullet in a...

Capacity I have a LV haverkamp actioned rifle with .223 bolt face and I have an extra .223 bolt for my Bat actioned rail gun. So if a person was to get a reamer for a 24/22 Nosler, what approximate capacity would you end up with? Anyone know the neck thickness of the brass? Tim

Try these Precision Ballistics makes a 74gr. And they are good. It seems I recall a thread on accurateshooter.com or here about Bart making an 80gr BT as well. Tim

Young rail I have no rail experience. I'm a 37 year old shooter with 3 bag guns. Jay young emailed me last week to say that my rail is getting close to being done. I'm excited. I think I will use a grizzly top loader with multiple bolts but want to start by competing at Tacoma with a tight neck...

What is the 30 Gorilla?

I have a .223 bolt face LV rifle and a Bartlein barrel blank. Perhaps I could have a reamer made to see what this chambering is all about. I've read time and again that it is finicky and wonder why. Pretty fascinating, internal ballistics that is. Take two cases of the same capacity, 6MM PPC and...

Do you make bullets of this type? Shorter jacket bullets that is?

FWIW, I spoke with Brady knight couple days back about making me some 58gr 6mm. He said it could be 7 or 7 3/4 ogive. I have some of his 58 gr that I bought second hand from a guy over at 6MM BR site. Brady said it had been quite a while since he made then because he had no recollection of doing...

You are correct when you say if 8208 is working stick with that, but... There was a time when I believed Xterm was the wonder powder for .22 cal BR cartridges and it might be but when it gets in the 50's or colder it goes to hell. I have become wary of powders that fill the case to upper neck...
