    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    I have shot many PROOF and Bartlein carbon barrels. I have no experience with benchmark or other companies due to my preference in how the barrel is wrapped and how the wrapping of a barrel affect heat movement from the SS core. To date, I have shot somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 to...

    AZ new resident rules

    My understanding is that it is 6 months for all licenses and applications. Once you have a resident license after 6 months, it applies for all applications.

    N565/570 a legitimate RL26 replacement?

    RL26 has been unobtanium for quite some time however the Vhit powders are seen more frequently. 7 PRC should run in the 565 to 568 burn rate pretty well and give plenty of velocity. 570 is going be a lower burn rate and tends to be very fast but pressure and throat erosion can be an issue. I...

    7/300 PRC - vs 7 PRC, is this the way it should have been done?

    Looks like you are getting what you should with that barrel and set up. The 570 giving you best velocities makes sense.

    This added another thought @rootacres - how does your bolt feel at battery? Loose, tight? Any play or fitment issue you can feel?

    Clickers. . 7 SAUM . . Im confused

    It could...we are chasing some phantoms right now but if your brass is expanding a lot and the headspace is long, it could lengthen the case and cause pressure e.g. clicking. You don't want your brass to stretch and expand too much. I use about a .001 to .0015 bump usually. .003 may be a bit much

    Clickers. . 7 SAUM . . Im confused

    It appears there is a significant expansion of the brass in picture #2 that could be due to headspace. Headspace is the distance measured from a closed chamber's breech face to the chamber feature that limits the insertion depth of a cartridge. Headspacing refers to the act of stopping deeper...

    It was meant as rhetorical rather than scientific - but maybe that in itself is rhetorical :oops:

    Clickers. . 7 SAUM . . Im confused

    Agree here. Trying to polish a chamber by hand is a difficult proposition. I would first try to clean it as much as you can, and I mean clean it. Completely I would not attempt anything else until you do that - after you are 100% sure it is fully clean, clean your fired cases completely and...

    Potential new build questions - 7 Saum/300 WSM/6.5 prc

    This makes sense. Any time you are working with a larger case capacity and a bigger bullet, slower burn rate powders will usually maximize your velocity and lower pressures. They are also less "snappy" with recoil. A burn rate chart is always good to have around

    Potential new build questions - 7 Saum/300 WSM/6.5 prc

    An XM action will give you a lot of options down the road too...since you are going with a 540 bolt face it will allow you to change barrels and maximize your mag size with many of the new caliber offerings. (if you wanna go 6.5 PRC) I do like the option of the 3.1 Wyatts box but if you get the...

    7PRC Chassis Rifle Build

    All good recommendations - keep in mind if you intend on making any changes to that set up, like perhaps a lighter carbon stock later on etc...for actions like the Tikka and a few others, since they are not designed on the Remington footprint, finding Tikka specific components and things can...

    Potential new build questions - 7 Saum/300 WSM/6.5 prc

    Since you already have a 30 cal, my vote would be for the 7 saum - can still run a fairly big bullet without giving up too much case room and if you built it on a lightweight medium action, you can really maximize that cartridge a lot better. If you are going to go full custom, you can easily...

    Yeah I like “it’s the Indian and not the arrow”. But it sure is nice to have a better arrow!!
