What size is the bolt body turned to before installation of the sleeves? What does everyone use to bond the sleeves to the bolt body?

I'd like to make a seating die with my 22BR reamer. I already have a micrometer top from Redding. Does anyone have a Redding Standard (not sliding sleeve type) 22BR or 6BR seating die that they can measure the body length and thread length of for me? I emailed Redding but they told me it was...

I have a 700 action that was trued a few barrels ago. I recently installed a new 22BR barrel and was fireforming brass with fairly stiff loads. The problem is, the bolt lift got very heavy and gritty feeling even on an empty chamber after the trigger was pulled. The lugs and abutments were...

If you could purchase a carbide chamber reamer for the same price or less of a HSS reamer, would you? Pros and cons of carbide reamers? Also does anyone know the industry standard diameter for the pilot diameter for bushings on the reamer itself for 22 caliber? (the diameter for the...

I just recently picked up 5K 210M's in the old gold packaging labeled "Bench Rest" as opposed to the new Gold Metal Match packaging. Were these primers any milder/ less hot then the newer 210M's? I'm having a problem with a new Remington 243 Win rifle with an 8 twist and a fairly long throat...

I have an extra Leupold 700 long action, long range scope base on the shelf. I have a short action I need a base for. Has anyone modified a 700 standard long action windage base to fit a short action by adding a hole to match the rear hole in the receiver and cutting the end of the base off to...

I was working up a load with a new powder (Sta-Ball) for a 7-08 with some old lot 120 Sierras, made in California, and after 15 shots I cleaned to switch powders, and on the first patch, this came out. Shot these bullets with other powders and no problems. I called and emailed Sierra and they...

I normally shoot H4350 with 105 VLD's and Federal 205M's. Since I had a jug of StaBall and Hodgdon had data, I decided to give it a whirl. I loaded 38.0 up to 40.0 in .5 grain increments. 38, 38.5 and 39 grains had the classic click/boom hang fires, with it progressively decreasing with the...

P1000 action. Stiff bolt closing on an empty chamber. It clicks down off of the primary extraction surface, then stops at the sear pick up, then needs more pressure to close moving firing pin slightly rearward.. Any ideas what might be the cause? Jewell bench rest trigger, no safety, set...

Myself, I'm going to wait a while on this one.....especially at the price tag. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/bartlein-new-barrel-material-400modbb.7018442/

Well Hornady came out with another new one. Looks like they took a PPC and blew the shoulder forward about .041. OH BOY! Another invention! :p:D https://vimeo.com/424873712 Chamber drawing here. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/03/20/6mm-advanced-rifle-cartridge-6mm-arc/

I just rebarreled a 722 action in 222 Rem and came across these in my cabinet while hunting for some brass. It looks like factory loaded Remington with copper colored primers. Anyone ever seen these before. The rifle belonged to my Dad's hunting & shooting buddy until he passed and was bought in...

Is the ejector for a Remington 722 with a 222/223 bolt face the same as a Remington 700 with the same bolt face?

Let's hear some thoughts on this.......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za91qyhida8&feature=emb_logo

If you have a load worked up and decide to try going down .001 on the neck bushing should you change anything else? Back down the powder? Leave everything else alone? Or start load development all over? The load in tune now isn't a max load but probably within .5 to 1 grain of max.

Has anyone tried IMR 4350 in a 6BR with a 95 VLD? I'm trying to get a fuller case then with varget and stay with a stick powder. I'm half thinking that IMR4350 might be a bit too slow but I thought I'd ask.

Does Remington use aftermarket barrels on their 40X's or are they standard Remington barrels? I hear from someone at one time they used Hart barrels. Don't know if that is true or not.

I've got a factory barrel that copper fouls very badly but just on the lands for the last 2-3". The grooves have no copper what so ever. I tried iosso on a patch after I had the copper cleaned out but it didn't seem to make a difference. the barrel feels a bit tighter at the muzzle running a...

Is there a proper radius size for a firing pin tip? From what I remember, it isn't suppose to be a complete radius (half ball shape) but a larger radius then half the tip diameter.

Does anyone know what size and pitch the sear engagement screw is on the new 700 actions are? I have one I need to remove and replace.
