I have a 3.715 aics magazine in my 7mm rem mag tikka. Purchased the bottom metal from Atlasworxs. I haven't had a chance to use it much yet, just installed it. You need to remove some material off of the front of the trigger, remove a bit of material off of the bolt stop to lengthen the bolt...

Tagging in, very good read. Thanks for the info.

When they are available I will get some, they were my first choice. The eld-x was second. Of course everything is unavailable. I'm hoping before the 2023 hunting season I have everything I want and a solid load developed. For both my rifles the 6.5 and the 7mm mag. 4831 is working well with...

Unfortunately not. I purchased it at the beginning of the powder shortage for my 7mm rem mag. I wanted h1000 but nobody had any. Missed the boat on 8lbs of H4350 just the other day because I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much (600.00 CAD plus taxes and shipping).. I think it was a mistake...

I was leaning more towards trying out some groups with where I'm at. The last 3 velocity readings were fairly close. Might be something there and it is faster than the factory loads by a bit. I'm assuming I'll see an increase in speed once I'm over 100 rds or so. Probably not much of one but I'm...

Tested the last 4 tonight. As expected everything went good, theres nothing any different than the rest. 3 out of 10 cases ended up with a ring and randomly throughout the string.I'll have to inspect my bolt face closer. Just taking a quick look at it everything seems normal and good to go. I...

thanks for the replies, the marks on the cases are very superficial and can notice in just the right light. my camera flash didn't do a good job of bringing the out. either way imo were of no concern. the ring around that last case was why I decided to stop. if its machining on the bolt...

Looking for some input on this hornady brass while testing new loads. Specs: Tikka T3X CTR 20" Hornady brass (factory single shot) Remington 9 1/2 large rifle primers H4831 140g ELD-M COAL - (dont know measurement off hand, will get it) First time reloading for my 6.5cm. Trying to use what I...

Sounds like you definitely have a winner. If the ELD's dont shoot well that was the next bullet of choice. Either the 168gr hunter or 168gr vld.

I'm planning on putting a 26 inch ibi barrel on it eventually. I havent put very many rounds through it as of yet. Hoping to get the count up and then change. For the most part it's a safe queen until closer to fall. Hopefully that will change with some good reloads and the steel targets I...

CCI 250 large rifle mag primers

That sounds like a pretty solid load. I was thinking of trying the 168gr as well.. once I get a decent load worked up with the eld's I might play with something else

That's a pretty good shot. I can't wait until my boy is old enough to get out there. My girls after that hopefully.

It's still the factory barrel. 24 1/3 I believe. I remember reading that the hornady manual was conservative in their loads. I'm hoping to get more out of it in terms of velocity. Thanks for the reply.
