Thank you, let me know

What’s the Leupold model number?

Actually it was Roy Weatherby. I’m not taking away from Shawn by any means at all. He just improved on it. Roy did it with free bore, Shawn did it with a reamer. It will be very interesting to see what the future will hold with the velocity gaining smiths in the future. Ackley, Allen, is...

Most of the time you can get a 700 action around 600-700. Or buy a used rifle and buy it for the action and save more. Trueing the action typically 200-250 maybe more but not where I live. Typical cost on firing pin springs depending on your smith is really just the cost of the parts and a...

My experience with carbon barrels is they are typically very accurate, but I will say the Sendero lights are Very hit and miss. Depending on the barrel, some are just not good and it dose not matter what you load in them. Same with steel barrels. Truly depends on how the reamer cut and how...

Personally I prefer H1000, then Retumbo. N570 is a good powder, it’s like rolling an untuned Deisel blowing coal down your barrel, and you can spend the next 2 days scrubbing the barrel and cut about 300 rounds off of barrel life. There has also been a lot of very good results with R33. I...

In my opinion, I don’t truly believe you can have a more accurate system by not using a kestrel. Unless you’re going to spend 5000 plus on some of the new tech that is about to launch. I will back track slightly, if your shooting inside of 650 yards at a given target, do you really need one...

Great caliber of a rifle, depending on what you're after in a scope, March makes hands down one of the most versatile scopes you can buy 2.5x25 power, perfect for everything up close and far away.

Well if you want to go for about as light and cheap as they get, the vanguard tripods work well, less than 100 bucks. Now they are not smooth to pan with, but they do work, and are as light as you can get. I still use it for my backcountry bivy hunts. But if I’m not hunting out of my pack for...

That’s a typical experience with Bergers, or you get the pin hole. Depending on if you caught heavy bone or in between the ribs. I have seen both, a lot. I have made my decision of not shooting Bergers for that reason. They are a very accurate bullet which does make it difficult decision to...

260 with 140 grain bullets…, 2910 With h4350

Well I guess I would say in my experience D.E.A.D

Unfortunately no a Wyatt’s box will not run that long the inside of the follower box is 3.90 if I remember correctly. You can gain up to 3.95 ish with the unknown munitions box. Unfortunately the unknown box at least the first version is a bit finicky to get to function correctly typically...

Honest opinion, the barrel is done. It appears as if you have a lot of throat erosion from initial load work until now. Depending on powder used, powder charge, ext it can happen faster than expected. Neck tension, seating depth, and a plethora of other reloading practices could potentially...
