Butch's. It works ok. I just plan on doing every thing twice before patches are clean.
The rounds where 3.60 coal( mag length). With the hornady over all length gauge and 210 bergers to the lands is 3.77. Going to start working up some loads tonight. It will be a few before I can get back out an shot.
Hope every body gets there rigs up and shooting soon

that is a problem....I found one for mine, but it'll only have a 26 inch heavy sporter on it

developing loads for the new barrel and am having problems with the case
stinking after the shot. they chamber smooth and if not fired will come out with easy. once fired you got to beat the bolt open and then use a cleaning rod to tap the shell out.?????????????????????????????????????????????
I have used alcohol to wipe the shells off.
cleaned the chamber heavily with hoppes and butches
Remington brass on 4th reloads.
stumped

 

[emn83]

couple thoughts, first is, how clean is the brass, I've had similar problems with brass sticking when it got a little dirty.

second thought is, over pressure, the times I had a case stick, I had over charged a couple of cartridges.



still waiting on my barrel

wish I knew what powder HSM use's in there factory loads. I was having issues with case's becoming stuck after firing. so I bought some to see if the problem was junk remington cases being soft or me not getting them clean enough. turns out both. HSM cases never got stuck

 

[emn83]

nice shooting!

The time it's taking to get my rifle, and the way the weather's going, I might not get to do load development til spring....good thing I have a couple boxes of accubonds laying around

I just have one question,why does it take so long to get barrels doesnt anyone stock barrels.

 

[Bravo 4]

Plenty of people stock barrels, but if you want something to your specs you are gonna wait...and pay!

Still waiting, the ATF worked faster than Kreiger. Ima go get my suppressor tomorrow. Got the paperwork over a week ago. Might get to try it out on my .338 Edge first.

talked to my smith yesterday, he got a new batch of barrels a couple days ago, but has been pretty swamped, so hasn't been able to check if mine is with them. The timeline is about right so I hope so....I only found out because I called to add another thing to my order....The longer this takes to get the barrel, the more little things I add to the order..... maybe it's all an evil plot.....nah, he's been real straight forward during the whole process

 

[emn83]

While I was away this weekend, my wife called my smith. Valkyrie should be coming home first week of November....now wondering if that means next week, or the first FULL week in the month

 

[Bravo 4]

10+ months, still no word.
