I am certainly going to look at it every few days. The Chuck was for a fourth axis someone crashed into it at full Rapid so I was not ecstatic about tearing it apart in the first place. I was in a hurry to get it back up and running. I normally use the overhead Crane it is overkill but safer...

I do agree there is a big difference between taking the abuse of a rifle and controlling the recoil in a repeatable manner. I have done enough cold bore shots to get them in a 1 moa group. My rifle will throw them 1/2 min high and a 1/2 minute right out to 400 yards I have not done enough...

No worry's a titanium bolt would be pretty awesome. That would not be to hard to do. Tell you what when the shop here reaches its slow time I will turn a bolt out of titanium and post it on the forum.

I think you might have me confused with someone else. None the less nice to meet you. Titanium action screws would have cool factor. The only thing I wonder about is titanium tends to have more flex than standard grade 5 bolts. If they are tight I can't see any noticeable effect they would have...

I will give it a shot. I am headed back to range on Friday I will shoot some three shot groups and post there targets. Don't police snipers generally use a 308 Wincthemer as a standard? Is there actually bad recoil management with a 308? I love my 308 I can literally watch the bullet hit the...

I probably should only shoot three shot groups. I suppose I just want that extra reassurance of consistency.

It is a leather bag with rabbit ears. I do not feel the rifle is controlling me just stating that there is some bi pod hop I would like to get rid of. I don't think the bi pod hop will go away untill I get off of the bench and into prone onto dirt. I should of clarified I don't let the barrel...

I use a sand bag. I never let the barrel get to hot to hold on to. I am happy with the results. The way I was taught to shoot was not wrapping my thumb around the stock. Would that cause any negative effect on my groups?

Well here are the targets from today. The picture needs to be rotated but oh well. I pulled the the rifle a little harder into my shoulder. The best group there is .7 moa. They are all shot at 200 yards. The wind was a little ridiculous today steady at 10 and gusting to 20. Those were three...

I have the savage 111 lrh in a 300 win mag. The rifle shoots great with factory ammo especially the heavier bullets. My rifle shoots way better with the break closed. Break closed is about 1.5 moa and with it open is .8. Now that is an average not just one here and there. The hinged floor plate...

You also have to remember the chamber reamers for those two barrels are different. I would imagine the shilen barrel to have a tighter chamber seeing as how I am not an expert by any means take anything I say with a grain of salt . As long as the bolt closes smoothly and opens without the aid of...

70 grains imr4831 3.400 (.03) Fed 215 primers Non fire formed Rem brass. I did weight sort the brass and bullets this time; I found 1 bullet that was 3 grains heavier. I loaded some up this morning stepping from 69 - 71.5 in .5 grain increments. I was reading that excessive vertical...

They are tight I just checked them. Normally I would say it was me but with a .15 moa of horizontal variation I think my shooting is not the culprit. I tried some 208 amax loads after that group and they printed a .8 moa with the bullets in a circular arrangement.

Oh I almost forgot each powder charge is trickled and weighed twice ( imr 4831). The bullets are sorted to 1 grain (190 smk). I normally like to keep the jump to .01 but since it's new brass and head spaced to the belt I gave it .03 to be safe. I did not sort the brass at all the case length was...

The rifle is a Savage lrh 300 win mag. Overall I really like the rifle my average groups are .8 moa. It only shoots well with the muzzle break on by the way. I bought a bunch of new brass and decided to see if i could find an accurate load for fire forming it. That way I was still practicing...
