Its rocks now took rifle to rifle to the Prairie Dog fields of eastern Montana and none of the Prairie dogs liked the new chamber cut on my rifle.

22-250 can't find any W-W but did find some Hornady in 22-250. Weight difference was 11 grs less for the Hornady than W-W . If I load same charge I wonder what difference there will be ? 36.5 grs of Varget behind 53gr V-Max 12" twist .

Don's explanation Don's explanation sounds feasible . Dusty was I ever using incorrect brass ? Gunsmith never said" this is a W-W reamer" he cut the chamber with . When we first talked he did ask me" What brand brass, Norma or Lupua " ? I told him" lupua". I've never been able to get W-W brass...

I don't know But what I do know is 100% of previous extraction problems are gone. Rifle functions flawlessly now.with its re-cut chamber.

Ok we all know how critical seating depths can be with various bullets ,small changes can make tremendous difference in accuracy. My question is why ? If you could fire a rifle and freeze the bullet as it exits the muzzle what distinction will be noticeable on the jacket ? If its jammed into...

Continuation of my 6/284 saga . My rifle loves Hornady 105 A-Maxs but hates Berger 105 hybrids . 52.5grs of Re#22 with both bullets velocities for Bergers average for 5 shots 3440 FPS and A-Maxs 3400 . Accuracy wise at 130 yards mild wind in NV Desert 1 1/4 group Berger and 1/2" gr for A_maxs...

Today's shooting report Ok I seated bullets .010 deeper and changed powders to Re#22 same bullet 105gr Berger Hybrid for 1st 8 rounds all shot at 130 yards Bottom 3 starting from left was 51grs of Re#22 Middle was 52grs and far rights was a fire form load of 46.2 grs of H4350 pushing a...

Rem 700 Yes its bedded properly . Yes I will try some faster burning powders . Thought with a 30" tube slow burners might shine .

Long story New Chamber in that last gunsmith didn't run the chamber reamer in far enough and it was a W-W reamer not one for Lupua brass. I had major extraction problems . So bbl has less than 350 rounds through it. I increase charges by .05 . No pressure signs and zero extraction problems. I...

6/284 30" brux bbl 8"twist . Today shooting 105gr Berger Hybrids seated just off the rifling lands , burning two powders Re# 25 and Magpro . I was getting tight ES in velocities (10'20' between shots) with both powders but poor accuracy in this new chamber( Non neck turning chamber). Others...

Gunsmith fixed rifle. He ran the new reamer in it.(Bullets slide in and out of fired case necks now) I loaded formerly sized brass with bullet jammed into lands with moderate powder charge(46.2grs of H4350 behind 105gr Hornady BTHP) to fire form brass to new chamber. I had no extraction problems...

New chamber Don that's exactly what the present gunsmith did . Gave him the rifle 2/13 and picked up today . Maybe shoot it tomorrow .

W-W reamer The original gunsmith used a W-W Reamer instead of a reamer for Lupua/Norma brass . Also there was a pressure ring around the shoulder of the brass ,he found it by placing a straight edge up against the fired case that contained a moderate to hot load.

I'm going to forgive and forget Noap will not be complaining to that gunsmith ! Now I have a real gunsmith making things right ,and yes I have learned a valuable lesson .

Extraction problems 6/284... Finally found out what was the problem @#%&*&%#@ !!!! As long as I had this bbl I had extraction problem. Were my loads to hot,improper sizing or fire forming ? I took the rifle to a different gunsmith he inserted a "Go no go chamber guage" Bolt wouldn't close on...

Why ask ? The need to know is why.... Plus this site needs more traffic and discussions .

Fired my 22LR through it be fore My 22 LR measured what it should be . Like I said "No complaints "

I have a T/C Ventura 22" 12" twist 5R bbl . 36.5grs of Varget is 3675 and 41grs of W-W 760 is averaging 3800 53gr V-Max . I have no complaints but how is this possible ?

Coyote hunting and full soda pop cans This rifle is used for Coyote hunting and full soda pop cans exploding, along with paper punching small groups and any fury critters that are legal to shoot ,but that's it I really mean it.... Thanks guys I've learned a bunch.

22/250 36.5grs of Varget or 40.5 grs of W-W 760 pushing a 53gr V-max in 12" twist ? The Varget produced slightly better accuracy at 3675 FPS W-W 760 produced 3800 FPS
