There’s a million ways to clean a barrel. I clean the easy carbon with any of the popular solvents with nylon brush. Then a small amount of the Iosso product in the Theroclean Bore Cleaning System on nylon brush and stroke 20 times. Follow with Theroflush on clean patches until no fouling is...

Where are you getting Terminal ascent bullets to reload.

I have several zermatt actions. long and short. I have MRC long. I have a commercial Mauser long. A Defiance Hunter XM. All are control round feed. The smoothest is a Defiance Hunter XM CRF with claw extractor and three position safety. Tuning the feed system on all these actions is in the...

I have a Defiance Hunter XM CRF with Claw extractor. Built for 6.5WSM. Proof, Manners Sunny Hill BDL bottom metal with follower, spring, and box supplied by Defiance. The COAL is way over 3”, like 3.120. The rifle did not feed smoothly with the standard parts. CRF’s are usually tough if you...

What is your load to get that kind f numbers? my 6CM is no where near that velocity in a 26” Bartlein M24.

I have several control round feed rifles. Long, short, and medium. Defiance XM, MRC, zastava Mauser, most are Zermatt. IMO follower spring is a big part of the puzzle. Lighter the better and equal press front and back. The feed rails should be the absolute last thing to touch. Also the shape of...

So the magazine will hold the three down and stack evenly? Not been my experience with Hawkins Hunter Short action DBM. Without cutting the action the choices are slim. You can cut the contact point, on the magazine, down for clearance. It’s not doing anything to hold the cartridge in place. Or...

I think the origin measures the same as the Wyatt extended cut on the SR/TL. It does on the short action. I don’t have an origin long action but I have all the rest in standard and Wyatt extended cut. All the DBM’s float and are loose until the cartridge is in place and is pushing on the bottom...

[email protected] have you contacted Ray. He can answer this. Your picture was taken with the action out of the stock. It looks like the bottom metal is clear and the box is touching. Is cartridge hitting the bottom of the action? If it’s hitting the bottom of the action then it can’t be...

It’s a 7mm Blaser.

lately some semi-custom action manufacturers are offering control round feed in their actions. Some standard and some optional. One offers it with a claw extractor another has it standard with an extractor built into the inside of the bolt face. Both have a blade ejector like several of the...

I have a 6.5 WSM built on a defiance XM with CF barrel. Cold bore has no effect on it. I have a Mauser with Lilja Barrel in 7mm Blaser. Cold bore has no effect on it. I have a 28nosler proof CF Cold bore has no effect. I’ve loaded the N565, N560, Retumbo, 4831sc, H1000, reloader 26 and N570. All...

I did a ladder after the first few rounds With 4831SC. There was a 4 grain spread with .3 intervals and there were two spots that the velocity was flat. The test was at .025 off. The whole thing was about 1.5” @ 100yds. I did not do the ladder test at different seating depths. I do know the...

If I could find Retumbo I would be on it. It is cooler burning and is really efficient.

I thought it was a fouling thing and kept shooting. Letting it cool for an hour back to ambient. It’s got 30 rounds since clean. Florida Morning in the summer, 80ish. Other rifle to shoot. the barrel is broken in. A snap to clean. 150 rounds or so now. The seating depth is a possibility but I...
