Okay, pics and a hopefully explanatory tutorial - The overall goal is to raise the shoulder and neck of the case in order to facilitate chambering instead of jamming a longer than SAAMI OAL 300WM round in a Tikka T3 action. Image 1 depicts me holding a casing in roughly the stock orientation...

Keep in mind I'm in Canada so your costs may vary, probably in your favor. CDI DBM was roughly $240 - $250 AI 5rd mags were roughly $100 each Install is smith dependant, took my guy about two hours of effort between machining and test fitting for the DBM, but he's a retired German...

Bringing this thread back to life as I've found a solution that is working for me and may help others. Installed the CDI DBM which in turn allows the use of AI mags. This set up feeds fine with COAL up to the SAAMI standard. I was looking to go beyond that so began working with a local...

Short answer is no. You can import things legally, just pay the taxes. However, firearm related items are difficult if not impossible to export from the U.S.A. side. Things that smell tactical are ITAR black listed. At the minimum a mountain of paperwork is required that would render it a...

Not a perfect match to your question, but we (Fire Dept) use a receiver mounted capstan on our Heavy Rescue truck to aid in low slope rescues/recoveries. Same as above, low stretch poly braid rope is preferred. Anything beyond 300' of rope makes a mess at your feet. For game I'd suggest multiple...

@Marble Exact figures are at home. I've been testing with single feeding and getting tighter groups with OALs beyond what the factory mag will accept, but inside what the AI will handle. Load development is still on-going but so far indicates I could work within the OAL available with the...

Looking to the brain trust of the board, hoping I've missed something. I'm working with a Tikka Tactical 300 Win Mag in a Manners T4 stock. Load development indicates a longer OAL would be beneficial. My goal is whatever that length turns out to be, is capable of feeding from the magazine...

As my first post here, I'll offer the following - The first thing I purchased to dip my toe into the water was a book, The ABC's of Reloading. Quickly followed by a collection of reloading maunals. Read them all, more than once. Next, ask around if someone local can take you under their...
