I have a stock ordered from Richard's Microfit currently, which is now more than a month late, and just cancelled my order for an A5 that was due in early March. I called McMillan a few weeks ago...

I agree with most of what was added here, and consider that after you buy that $500 Remington action, spend $250 having it trued to make it shoot consistently you've crossed into that custom action...

After the problems I've had I was relieved that the rifle does in fact shoot really well. I was able to get some .3-.4" groups before the wind picked up and made my little 35 VMAX bullets impossible...

I agree with the bronze brush. The nylon works for me on some custom barrels but bronze does a better job on powder fouling. It seems like some barrels still have a phantom gray color on patches...

I was away today, but did get an email response from the CZ gunsmith. He asked me to check exactly what you suggested Chris, for excessive gap between the magazine well(trigger guard) and receiver. ...

I am aware that many rimmed cases, especially the hornet with it's heavy taper can be hard to feed, but for a factory rifle in it's factory chambering to not even begin to feed is less than...

My CZ is cursed???

I posted about a month ago with a new CZ527 22 Hornet that had some stock problems. I did send it into CZ, and got it back today with a new stock, that fits perfectly, no stress in the bedding,...

Eric, I hear you about the mess coming with the snow melting, and 1-2" of rain forecast for this weekend. With the frozen ground, it will flood but good. Still, I welcome the double digit temps...

I personally like the FL bushing die, and adjust the die to size only a portion of the neck if I don't want to bump the shoulder. Properly adjusted the FL die will only just touch the body while...

I talked with Jason at CZ who quickly handed me off to a warranty representative. They want me to return the whole rifle, and they will restock, bed, and assure the barrel is floated. About as good...

Alex, Good point about the weight of the laminated stock. I do want it light, and will see what they suggest when I call tomorrow. As for the barrel channel, I like them to look nice and tightly...

No idea how it shoots yet, literally just got it a couple hours before I posted, and frankly the discoloration doesn't bother me much. I'm less happy about needing to open up the barrel channel. It...

I can't tell either. It goes around to the top of the buttstock and up towards the wrist then fades at that end, but as you can see in the pic something definitely wrong with the finish. Also, the...

Sexy!!!!

That's a good looking cartridge isn't it? Maybe the best powder to bullet ratio of all the 17's I've looked into. How does it shoot?

MSwickard, I believe you are right when throwing a charge of 10 grains or less. Most of my "experiments" with the measure have been throwing 30-50 grains of powder, and most of that long grain...

Wow, thanks for all the quick replies. I suspected the 17 rem or Hornet might be the best starting point. I was hoping to get away from weighing charges as I already do that for long range shooting...

I've not shot the 87gr VMAX but do shoot an 88 grain Berger through my 8.5 twist (cut rifled Krieger) and can push them to 3250fps. That load is running the ragged edge of pressure though and I get...

I agree the 6BR is an overlooked varmint cartridge. It will shoot 55 grain Ballistic tips over 3600fps. That's a bad thing if you're a varmint. That said the 10 twist won't stabilize the 105's...
