Guys, I dont post here much and it's been a while since I was even logged on but, I know this rifle, very well. It's a shooter and it was built here at my place by me and Erics father. I have a pic of it on my WWW in the gallery section. Louisiana Precision Rifles LLC. Eric's a good guy...

1. Yes, a belted case will feed through the rifle I described, again, it's an RUM 2. Yes, a RUM case will fit and feed in the rifle I described, it's an RUM 3. If the rifle you are looking at is an RUM and the rifle I'm describing is an RUM and the rifle I'm describing will also feed...

All right, here ya go. I made a call for you and here’s the info with a short story. I had a Remington 700 LA chambered in 7mmRM that I sold to a friend. My friend had Terry Cross of KMW install a new barrel on the rifle and chamberd it in 300 RUM. Terry also added a slotted mag box in it. The...

Man, somebody needs a midol.

OK, stop whining. Why don’t you go to Wal-Mart or some where else and purchase one of the cheap, $350.00, 7mmRM's and use that as a donor action???? I simply gave you info I had. My concern is since the feed rails are wider on an RUM than they are on a Belted Magnum it may cause feeding...

I beleive the difference between a standard belted case's belt and an RUM, WSM case wall at the head etc. is around .017". With an Ultra Mag Receiver's feed rails being at least .0085" per side larger, a standard belted case may not be held in the mag box as good?? I'd research it closley before...

Good shooting. Check the sight height setting and rated BC. The BC in your program may be a little off from what you actually have. Also, make certain that you have a "HARD" 100 yard zero that your working off of.

If your dads rifle is a 1 in 10 twist he'll probably have to stick with the 150's. I'd check to see if it's not a 1 in 9, if it is a 1 in 9, 168 Bergers all the way. 3,100 fps is doable with RL-22. Plug that in a Balistics Program

I've spoken with Rustystud (Nat) several times. He's very knowledgeable about the whole machining, gunsmithing thing and is very generous with this knowledge. He's one of the persons that has pointed me in the right direction in the area of rifle building. Nat is GTG.

PTG Call Pacific Tool & Gauge and talk with Dave Kiff. IMHO, you will need the removable Pilots for your reamer; I buy mine in .0002" increments. You'll need about five of them, the nominal size, and two up and two down in .0002" increments. You'll also need a range rod to indicate the barrel...

Berger VLD Bullets Find one of your cases that has an ID of .282" to .2825", apply sizing die wax or another type of case lube on the bearing surface of the bullet, seat it long and close the bolt on it. It's my finding that this will be approx. .010" +- 005" in the lands. This is where all of...

Any of the one piece Picatiny style bases and Tactical Rings with the cross bolt will do. These bases utilize all four screws and are next to bullet proof.

Very beneficial input. I have some questions for completeness of the analysis: 1. Was the sizing stem straightened? No. Factory stem, nomds. 2. Was the expander ball polished? I've tried polishing the expander ball in the past and yes, it helped. I feel that a carbide ball would be best...

All Good Points But Conceder this. With the necks turned to a uniform diameter you get uniform neck tension and with the use of a FL Bushing Die without an expander ball Case Neck Run out is greatly minimized if not completely eliminated. I tested numerous fired cases in Factory and Custom...

Talk to Frank at Bartlein. He runs the shop and has got his stuff together. Frank left Krieger with a couple of guys and helped in starting Bartlein. We've built 1 6mmBR with one of their barrels and it's a shooter. With Franks background, Bartlein is definitely top shelf.
