Montana rifle company?

I don't believe that that Remington owns MRC, they are under new private ownership.

Well...if you watch "Colorado Buck" he swears by his...lol. Personally I don't know of anyone that has one though

Where in the world is Colorodo Buck? Lol

I have an X2 in 7mm Rem Mag I bought of the used rack last year at a oddly huge gun store located in a NAPA auto store in Butler, GA. Functions perfect and shoots lights out, I can't figure for the life of me why someone sold it.

Randy is correct Remington pulled out about 5 years ago and the previous owner opened back up but New Owners took over around last August.

I have two Cooper Rifles of Montana and they are whiz bang one hole accurate. One in .30-06 that I used in Africa and another in 6.5 x 284 Norma and I love them.

 

[35 Whelen]

I have a MRC AVR in 35 Whelen. Like it a lot, very accurate. I have had a few misfires with my hand loads, but none with Nosler ammo. I will be hand loading the Nosler brass just for it and only to be shoot in the MR, I think this will fix the misfires.

We've seen a few generally pretty solid.

I have one I bought as a donor, had a couple of misfires, I really didn't think much about before sending it off for re-barrel etc.

Ended up swapping a 14 lb spring for an 18 lb. Also having a bushing placed to tighten up firing pin hole.

They are owned now by Remington Arms.

No they are not.

The 35 Whelen is very sensitive to head space, you really need to be precise on your sizer die adjustment so you don't set the shoulder back. I have reloaded for a number of them.

I have a 338 Gibbs (338-06 Imp'd) on a Ruger No1, very sensitive to shoulder to base dimension.

Its worse on the Whelen because there is not much of a shoulder.

I can take the same round that misfired in the MR and it will fire in my Savage that I rebarreled myself. I talk with some others on here about it and they felt that needing to load specific to rifle was a big issue. One said try putting a nickel between the shell holder and the sizing die when adjusting it. What's your thoughts? Thanks

 

[L.Sherm]

Will the fired round from the savage chamber in the MR gun?

Yes

If you can basically just neck size and not push the shoulder back at all on the brass fired in the savage, load a round and try to fire it in the MR if it does your MR has a longer head space.

Thanks, when I get time to load some for it I'll try that.
