    Restoring Accuracy, Remington 700

    Good share. I know certain smiths give considerable attention to the ignition system to make it ideal and lots seem to ignore it unless there are problems. I'm pretty ignorant on all the details involved but seems its a good thing to keep on top of.

    Milk jug challenge.

    That’s not the norm. If there’s no doubt that’s what’s happening I’d send that thing back to GAP.

    Statistics for differentiating between groups?

    Something something, lies, damn lies, and statistics.

    Milk jug challenge.

    I believe and know that there's a bunch of barrels out there that shoot worse or to a different POI after heating up but I also think it's far over played. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a factor in these tests with factory CVAs, savages, and a 300 WM tikka in use. I think there's lots of people...

    Milk jug challenge.

    What kind of firing schedule these guys got? A good barrel isn’t going to walk from getting a little hot. Mirage might bite ya though.

    Ready for a new 7 mag load

    If you want to shoot to 500 yards I'd look at a bullet that isn't a parachute in the BC department. Even just going from a 150 TTSX to a 145 CEB lazer @ the same velocity keeps a guy above 2200 fps impact speed over 100 yards further out. What rifle and barrel length are you using?

    Statistics for differentiating between groups?

    For "good enough", you can use the WEZ tool to work towards a scenario where ammo/rifle precision has next to no impact on hit rates compared to human error.

    Statistics for differentiating between groups?

    Are you trying to evaluate to where you can pick the proper load to win a bench rest competition or hit an animals vitals? If benchrest - the guys that do well dont' seem to believe in statistical validity anyway :ROFLMAO: If hunting - it doesn't matter below a decent base level of precision...

    This has me puzzled

    ^ This was my first thought. If the brass chambers fine before seating a bullet, it doesn't seem it's a brass sizing issue. If that brass has already been fired without issue, it doesn't seem like it'd be a neck clearance issue. I'd think it's one of the following: 1. your seating die is...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Yep. I bought ibonds when rates were way up including with the tax $5k tax return option. I cashed out recently because the rates were lower than what I can get in a savings account.

    Best (and Worst) Muzzleloading Bullet Experiences

    I did, at least a couple times from sub freezing temps to room temp.

    NFA Wait Times

    Besides the point but i'm pretty sure federal income tax started during the civil war and went away, came back, and ramped up again during WW1?

    Barrel break in for Weatherby's

    Unless you're one of those folks who sits and waits minutes between shots at the range as a standard operating procedure so barrels can cool anyway:

    Tikka Roughtech

    Is 1/2" the biggest you can go without the flutes being deeper than threads?

    Best (and Worst) Muzzleloading Bullet Experiences

    I'm new to muzzle loaders. My one and only is an encore with arrowhead 45 cal smokeless conversion that uses their Large Rifle primer modules. The thing shot awesome until i messed it up so the primary experience I can share is the "worst". I loaded an arrowhead 275 XLD behind H4198 for hunting...

    Montana Rifle Company

    The MRC engineer for this lineup posted in the rokslide thread and didn't dispute any of the negative observations from that review. Seems to be aligned with the quality issues they had prior to being sold. I'd not spend good money on one until its clear significant changes have been made. I...

    Milk jug challenge.

    Funny thing about those backfire challenges - they showcase actual competency of people yet after missing a pile of targets these guys still think their max ethical range is 600 yards. WTF, over.

    A wolfs elk story

    Seen a lot of wolves over the years in Northern MN and in the northern rockies. Hear em howling all the time in northern MN to the point of it being frustrating during deer season. Never felt surrounded or "in" them though, sounds like a pretty cool experience.

    Hornady 7 PRC a Lie?

    I think a 7 RM - 7 PRC is a lateral move. A custom throated RM should outperform a PRC because the case is a little bigger IIRC. It’s just a modernized 7 RM. No belt, Better throat design, less sloppy brass to chamber shoulder fit, shorter case is if one is mag length constrained, factory...
