If it was me I would have the smith true up the action vice getting one already done. This way he can ensure that everything is true from the receiver to the barrel. Or depending on what he says as far as work required and budget as well. just skip the whole process . Are you planning on...

A lot of good advice so far, but one thing you didn't mention was what caliber do you plan on shooting, and how much as well as the rifle set up. Can't really expect bench rest accuracy out of a bone stock rifle A lot of the other equipment will come into play as well from the scale to the...

One thing I forgot to add, they now have a universal case holder vice having to constantly switch out the shell holder.

They are pretty good as well as consistent, you can get the 3 way cutter for it and do all the trimming at once. As far as your other question in regards to manual trimmers I would go the automated route, less wear and tear on your arms. if you look at the other hand operated trimmers they all...

I had the same issue with same bullets, 55 grain Hornady SP, using a Dillon 650 with an RCBS seater die. I took my chamfering tool and opened up the seating stem and problem solved. Take your seater plug out and make sure it doesn't have gunk built up as well. Memo

Have you looked into Lee Baker, he is pretty close to you and can even do your brake if you so desire The Hunters Den Gunsmithing I had him do a 300 wm an I couldn't be happier with the end result Memo

I just stumbled on your post, I am doing the opposite, I have a sorter profile barrel on my Rem 300 wm, that I am re-barreling. The exact opposite of you, I am in Coleville, if you want we can meet up and you can try the barrel I took off my rifle an see if there's any difference Memo

As the title says I am curious to the velocity that some of you seasoned shooters are getting. I have a savage 338 with 30' barrel I am currently reloading 250 SMK and getting north of 3050 fps as well as some lathe turned bullets 186 grain around 3100 fps. thanks in advance Memo

What caliber is it, also is the shell holder clean underneath the rim. could be the case is not inserted all the way in the shell holder.

I've had people with extremely hot loads next to me almost same senario as you mentioned, and they had no clue to what others where complaining about. All they new was that so so made the amo or they pulled it off the net because it was a fast load. Also when the guy with the oversize break...

Completely agree with barrel nut, some bullet makers are better then others but in the end the rifle will always have the final say so.... dam those picky eaters

I still do the same for all my competition rifles, I also try and carry over a lot of the same techniques over when I reload for my hunting rifles. Then I also have to realize just how accurate the rife is. I have some rifles that now matter what I do they shoot roughly an inch (barely). While...
