[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 89882, member: 10"] Brian, To be honest, I am hoping to get anything at 3400 fps or more. TO he honest, 3300 fps with these bullet would be retty **** impressive but I am hoping to break 3400 fps. To be honest, I have no idea what to really expect with this round and bullet combo, will be fun to see what happens. I am using this receiver because it is sitting here in my shop fully accurized and ready to build on, thats it pure and simple. The throat on my 224 AM reamer is pretty short so I think it may still feed easily in the Rem 700, again, we will see. You are correct though, a Rem 700 LA would make things easier for a repeater but as I have this SA sitting here(and already paid for [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), I will put her to use. The receiver is a .470" bolt face receiver which is why I will get an H-S Precision DM system if I decide to go with a repeater. Yes it is easy to open up a standard bolt face up to .535" and even .590" for that matter for my 7mm AM with the Lapua case head size. Will just fit a Sako extractor to the bolt. Good Shooting!!
