Hybrids and Elite Hunters are not nearly as seating depth sensitive as the VLDs. So the 215 & 230s tune much easier.
All of my bolt guns are single feed.I have a problem with getting this "off the lands thing figured out" because of the length of the magazine. I have worked with setting up the sweet spot off the lands a little bit, and I know that is an important part of the process. Thought of using the first bullet to manual feed and setting up sweet spot off or on the lands with that one. I probably don't need to spell this out for you guys. Now I remember the another reason I was sticking with the 168 bergers. The longer the bullet gets the more it will push back into the powder, because of the limitation in the magazine so this is a tradeoff for me. I have seen a kit out there that extends the magazine for the RUM. It may be another thing I will have to invest in to get the basics in place.
I have a Bell and Carlson sitting around not doing anything from my Remington 300RUM, M40 design if you want to try something before you buy. If you want drop me a note.
I will get it packaged up over the weekend and get it sent out to you.
How do you like the feel of the new stock? Does it have a better balance or cheakweld?
I think if you're truly getting 33-3400 out of that thing with 210 bergers it's definitely hot!I just shot 10 rounds with B &Car stock. 210 gr Berger hunting, 90 gr retumbo cases were cleaned really good shoulder back .001or some where there abouts, where bolt closed smoothly. trimmed all be same length 2.845. bullet was .01 off the lands b-oj 3.175. aol ended up being 3.825. picture below was the second group .550 first group was .885. They were a bit on the hot side and only minor signs of pressure. however, grouped ok and I think I can do even better back home instead of out in the desert off a tale. I thinking I need to drop a grain or two they don't need to be going out at 3350-3400. I think that 3100 would acceptable. What you guys think?
