I'd stop burning components and $ and see what they'll do for you on it. Something is clearly out of spec from your bore scope vid. IMO you did them a solid by burning your time and $ to see if it would shoot acceptably despite being out of spec. It's not shooting how you want, so they should...

That "first outing" video looked to have some decent but low shot count groups. That hasn't held up?

Mine fed fine in 6.5x47 and 300 nm. Wasn't butter smooth but was fine. Bolt manipulation was doable but a definite down grade primarily due to location. Balance point was way too far back. Was less stable in prone due to the short radius to front rest. Trigger was workable but a down grade...

They are good at reducing overall length but are a compromise everywhere else.

Currently it's a tikka with an 18" benchmark #4 6 creedmoor in a KRG bravo but will be in a rokstok once that gets delivered. Did the 22" 7 SAUM with a ultra 7 for a year and quickly decided that's too **** long with a suppressor for the type of elk hunting i do most.

Seems that the rough edges are breaking in a bit. Have you measured seating depth to the lands at all? Seems its most likely that the groove dia is out of spec but if it shoots good I dont know if that matters?

I haven't but I've thought about it if I needed a rifle to make power factor in NRL hunter - need be be above 2640 FPS w/ a 144 berger and over 2440ish with a 156. Kind of agree on field unknown distance situations but for known distance where spotting impacts and getting wind calls right...

Maybe I lied. I thought of a cartridge that i think is dumb at least - 6.5-300 weatherby. 26 Nosler was out and already to the point of "stupid overbore" but weatherby comes out with something that has the same case capacity but instead of the nice case design of the nosler it uses an...

I see it as an option for customers to save $ if they don't place that much value on the barrel maker lapping the blank rather than assuming everyone wants it and building it into the cost.

Why?

I'm selling this Seekins Havak that has a 26" Bartlein Carbon #4 9 Twist barrel chambered by TS Custom. The chamber was spec'd to seat the 215+ bergers, 0.200" freebore i believe. Less than 200 rounds on the bartlein barrel. It has one of the new action/bolts that runs much smoother than the...

What’s the scoop, if a site sponsor puts out a dud it’s not to be discussed?

Haha! I dislike myself occasionally for similar reasons and need some straightening out..

https://arrowheadrifles.com/product/nsr/ That could be interpreted as certain mfr just make larger or smaller bores. My recollection from when they first came out was there were statements more about dimension consistency but that could be errant.

Tried but couldn't think of any cartridge that I "love to hate" or even really dislike. What I do dislike: When people get butt hurt about other cartridges that may compete with what they have When people think modest differences in cartridge choice is going to make a big difference in their...
