Ive got a browning abolt II in 300 rum ,stainless barrel , muzzle brake, leupold vari x 3 scope 6.5 - 24 x 40mm i believe. Less than 50 rounds through it. Factory wood stock with bedding. Aftermarket thumbhole laminate stock. Rcbs reloading dies. Rifle basix trigger spring. Leupold scope has...

No i havent worked any more on that load it shoots 1 hole groups at 100 and clover leafs at 200 i think thats as good as it gets with a factory rifle granted it does have a muzzle brake but thats it. No pressure signs as i worked up but you could tell when i hit the sweet spot with the groups...

Well barrlein lost my business simply because they dont make a barrel prefit for savage action so its $350 for bbl then $300 for them to pair it up which i can do right here at home with a criterion. Im not made of money and the trees arent growing it in my yard so.......... im not knocking them...

What do you guys think about a criterion barrel. 26" light varmint or heavy sporter for the 6.5 creed. Im reading mixed reviews i know the rifling is different than a 5r but only major difference i can tell is the 5r is less apt to copper foul as quickly as other types. Not worried about the...

Thanks fellas. I think this is what im lookin for. Not too big for total bench gun but big enough for what i need. I guess im worried because ive never ordered or rebarreled before and want to do it right the first time.

I have read and read to no end about barrels / lengths /contours and i think ive narrowed it down to a bartlein 5R 26" in rem varmint contour but i cant find any good pics of this contour barrel. Im building on a savage 110 .243 long action. I got it for $300 scoped with a nice wood stock. I may...

Ok. The weather wasn't as hot today and allowed me to play with my toys. The rifle is a browning a bolt 2 with muzzle brake the scope is leupold vari-x III 6.5x20x40mm. Projectile is hornady 212 grain eld-x Cci #250 magnum large rifle primers Retumbo powder O.a.l. 3.6175 Temp. 83 degrees...

Alright fellas , in the next few weeks I will be developing a load for my 300 ultra mag using retumbo / 212 eld-x. Started with loads at 88 , 89 , and 90 grains and will go from there. Hornady says o.a.l of 3.9 but this is not a custom built rifle it is a browning a bolt 2 and I want to be able...

Thanks for the reply bro. What is your load and what kind of accuracy are you getting with these if you don't mind me asking. Bbl length and all please

I have a browning a bolt 2 in 300 rum. Leupold 2001 model vari-x III 6.5x20x40 . I just got my hornady eld-x 212 grain bullets in and online hornady calls for a 3.900 col. Well that is way too big for my magazine and I can't find an extended mag for it so....... Is it safe to load these to...

Anybody have any input on the leupold custom dial system? I'm planning on having it put on my vx3 as soon as I work up a load for the 208 amax in my 300 r.u.m. I may be posting this in the wrong section but since it is load specific I thought maybe it'd go here. Just wondering how accurate the...
