Just buy a new bolt. They don't cost all that much.

I had a 338-06 barrel made. Ugh. By the time the whole thing was done I asked if I could just send it back to them. I even said I didn't want my money back. I just wanted the barrel gone. Wrong length. Chamber too deep. Muzzle boogered up. By the time it was shootable it couldn't hold a 6...

Sounds all to similar to my own experience.

It's important to me. But I won't be buying second best either. I won't pass up a good deal on foreign products in favor of a bad deal on American made stuff.

No one can prove that any one cartridge shape is inherently better than another. Someone pointed out in the beginning about horizontal accuracy (wind) and vertical accuracy. We also shouldn't forget market share and advertising. A 300 WSM is going to do better in the wind than a 22 PPC at...

You should level it in accordance to how you use the scope. If you're using the dial then forget what the reticle looks like. It could be 45 degrees off and it doesn't matter. Up and down is in relation to the dial. Level off the turret. If you're using the reticle for adjustment then level...

Wouldn't you be forced into increasing your COAL? And how well would a powder burn if you eliminate/minimize flame channels between the kernels?

Wow. You shot an elk where he fell a hundred yards? I guess this upstate New Yorker is gonna be in for a rude awakening. Lol Congrats on that bull. I'd love to have him on my wall.

Go in a pool. Hold your hand out flat above the water. Slowly lower it into the water. Then repeat the same exact process but as fast as you can. That's how's bullets work against speed.

If you want a 7mm just do a Remington 280 .

This is all stuff that's been tested on there Aberdeen Testing grounds. It's not theory. There's a strong science behind it. The army using non spinning flachettes in it's smoothbore tank guns isn't done on accident. Less rotations = less expansion = more armor penetration. Their 6 inch bolts...

My first comment on this site. Where do you live? I would pay you to do one for me. That looks great, Man.
