Do a OCW test before you jump to another powder or primer. Using a node from a pressure test is what I usually do to set where I think the OCW would be close to, and to know where max pressure is. Then adjust the charge weights by .3gr up and down. Give that a go and I am sure you find your...

Here is a new one for you all, well maybe. McGuires Ballistic. They are made in southern CA and he has a lot of “data” (dead hogs) to provide proof that his bullets are very effective. I just finished working up a load for my son’s Ridgeline 6.5CM. Very easy to load for, and they are not...

I just threw in the towel. I have only removed 7 barrels and don’t have the reps, and sure don’t have the knowledge when it comes to barrels being frozen.

I’m going to take it back to him and let him have a go at it. If he says it’s just froze or the threads are welded I will just buy my buddy a new Barrera. I thinks it’s about 700 dollars. It just burns me because I don’t see how 35 in/lbs could put any pressure on the barrel thread in a...

The torx screw head sheared off and the gunsmith drilled out the guts and was able to remove the material. I have it soaking in PB Blast just hoping any praying

Long story short. Bergara rifle had a broken torx bit in the forward most hole for scope base. Went to remote the barrel from the action so I could have just the action to hand the gunsmith to make his job easier. After I got the first pop when the barrel and action broke loose I had maybe...

I think I’m in it for 260 dollars, give or take, to have it stripped, Melonited, and re-cerekoted. Plus the return shipping. So over all that isn’t bad in my book.

Short Action Custom says they have the process down, and they are the ones i sent to have the old cerekote stripped off and Nitrided. I’m sure they outsource the nitride, but when I talked them on the phone it seemed that this was a common service that they perform. When I get it back I’ll...

Their bolts already come that way and are options on their other actions as well Defiance and other companies. When the bolt head and body as well as having the race ways treated it helps to provide a smoother bolt cycle. Plus when my rifle was built there was cerekoting applied to the inside...

Thank you for your reply

I have a stiller predator action that I am having the cerekote taken off, will be melonited/nitride, and then re-cerekoted. I was having a hell of a time breaking the barrel and action loose and I contacted the gunsmith that built the rifle for me and said that he torques his barrels/actions on...

I know this might be a long shot, but I was hoping someone might want to part with a box or two of the 205gr EH. If anyone is interested let me know please. Thank you

Sorry for asking this question, I am new to savages. Will this stock work for a bottom bolt release?

Thanks. Once I turned the brain drainer sideways I was able to see what was there the whole time. I'll call Fed in the morning to get a bullet length.

I have searched for info on Fed's .277 130gr Trophy Bonded Tipped bullet. I need bullet length and a BC. Thanks
