I have way too many rifles and this one isn't getting used. Traded for it on here and I have put 100 rounds down the tube for a total of 200 rounds on the barrel. Details:
Left hand Misery customs branded Defiance Ruckus
APA RTG bottom metal with one 10 rd mag
Trigger tech diamond pro curve...
Lefty AG Carbon All Terrain, short action, M5 bottom metal cut, Proof sendero barrel channel, bedded for a lefty Bighorn TL3. 2 flush cups right side. Includes an Area 419 4" arca rail. I had sponge painted this stock and when I stripped and sanded the sponge painting some was really deep into...
Looks like a fairly light contour on that Ruger. I doubt you’re gonna lose much weigh by doing it. You could weight your barreled action and then subtract your action weight (should be able to find a weight of that action somewhere online) and figure out what your barrel weights and compare it...
I know you said you didn’t want to hear it but I’m gonna say it anyway. Even though you own a ton 22-250 brass I bet when the dust settles you could go 22 Creed and buy 200 pc of premium brass and end up the same price or cheaper.
The 22 creed is popular right now and the reamers are real...
I think you only need a 8 tw for a 77SMK but I would make a list of all the bullets you “might” want to shoot and what twist rates they require and see what works. Somewhere in the 7.5-7.75-8 range is probably where your going to land I would guess but I don’t know what bullets your looking at...
6 or 7 twist is FAST. I would really consider what bullets you’re going to shoot so you don’t run into issues with spinning them apart. You should be able to get away with a 7.75 or 8 twist unless your low elevation or wanting to shoot something like the 88 eldm or some certain monos.
A short...
N568 is kinda the worst of the 5 series powders. I'm not sure where it shines. N565 and 570 seem to always outproduce it on velocity. Even in Vihtavouri’s data you can find numerous loads where 570 outdoes it on velocity with 2-3 grains less and 565 equals it with 5 grains less.
I don’t think...
I would shoot it and see. Chances are it's fine. I have had a couple creeds that felt that same way where it felt like you had to push to get the bullet thru the freebore especially if they weren’t clean. Seems like Hornady bullets feel tighter than Bergers but I never have shot any match...
The Phoenix x-small is probably my favorite hunting bag. When I first got it I didn’t really care for it (was bigger than I anticipated) but after using it in the field it quickly became my go-to. It weights 6oz and comes with buckles that latch directly on to many packs, and it’s really...
Looking for a shorter Tl3 barrel. Something around 18”, would love a 300 wsm but would be interested in 7 saum or 6.5prc too. Prefer carbon just because of the barrel channel on my current stock. Have a 24” 300 wsm or 6.5 prc I could trade too. Thanks for looking.
