Re: OAL Doesn\'t Matter Well, I guess in this case the OAL variance doesn't affect the grouping. Finally got to shoot yesterday and had a 3/8" 3 shot group at 100 yds. Second group was 3/4" but I called the first shot pulled to the left - #2 and #3 almost touching. Load was 150gr AccuBond and...

Learn something every day as they say. Thanks for taking the time to provide the info. I have wondered about this for a long time and now I know.

Why does the OAL of my loads vary ? Loaded 9 rounds and random check of lengths were : 3.753, 3.749, 3.746, 3.744. Componants were: R-P cases, 150 gr AccuBond, RCBS dies, Stoney Point OAL gauge(the one with the adapter that mounts on the calipers and you slid the loaded round into the adapter -...

The 2005 Rem 700 "Classic" is a 308. Check the Rem web site.

I am doing the same thing on a Howa SS Syn Stock 22-250. Got a base coat of Krylon on it now. Would also be interested in what the forum says.

Anybody shot any deer with the Hornady 115 SST in a 25-06 ? If so how did it perform?

Just curious if any of you check the tightness of your action screws - that is do you check them with and in/lb torque wrench and set them the same each time. If so what are your settings? Thanks

Where do you measure a case base(25-06) - just as it begins to rebate? Is this a good indicator of pressure ? How much should it expand after firing - I have been told .005 indicates high pressure. Working up a load with 115 gr. Triple-Shocks and am at 1.5 grains over max - case base measures...

I just traded for a Win 70 XTR Sporter. I want to pillar bed the stock but have never done one before. Looking at the back screw hole it looks like there is not enough wood at the top of the stock . Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond. When I got this rifle it had a factory stock - it shot around 1" with Hornady ammo. I did not try my handloads when it was in the original Winchester stock(dah!). What I have done is put the barreled action back in the factory wood stock -...

Gun was used when I got it. It has never grouped. Hand loading 115 Nosler Part and 120 NP using several differnt powders. Bullets seated back from lands about .010. Leupold 4.5x14x50 and it is not moving in the rings and this scope shot on previous rifle. Stock is Boyd laminated - recoil lug...

Shooting a 25-06 and groups are 3 to 4 inches at 100yds. They are in line at about a 45 degree angle. Is this an indication of bedding in the stock or is it the load ?

I have used the following 300 mag load to take a number of whitetails. This Sierra bullet is more heavily constructed than their softpoint round of the same weight - this per the tech's at Sierra. Me and a hunting buddy have also used this bullet in 30-06. We were very please with accuracy and...

I have a Win 70 25-06 24" factory barrel with a Leupold 4.5X14X50 scope. I want to use the 115 gr. Nosler Partition bullet. Max shots on Georgia whitetail deer will be 400 yds using a rest. Looking for information on handloads. Thanks
