Hi Ben, It had a crossed thread for suppressor when I got it. so i got gunsmith to cut thread off and recrown it, hoping that might help things, it didn't. Cheers

Just a quick follow up on this thread. I've loaded the 85 gr hpbt with H4350/AR2209 but since I had trouble finding actual hard load data for this powder/bullet combo i loaded only up from 42.0 to 45.0 gr 0.5 gr increments in Winchester 243 brass and with Fed 210M primers. 42.5-43.5 all ran at about 3075 fps and 0.75 MOA accuracy at the same POINT so I'm thinking that was the low accuracy node. From 44.0, 44.5, 45.0 gr velocity increased to about 3200 fps and groups opened up to about 1.5 MOA an..

Just to clarify Jared, my .338 Edge in the Precision platforms vid is .725" at the shoulder with an M16 thread. The barrel is 26" long. OAL with the 285gr was 95.6mm for .2mm jump but the throat has since gone for a walk so it now has some jump but still accurate. Velocity and jump at middle age is not unlike a .308. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D50hQluX9hY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D50hQluX9hY]

Certainly Joshua. Good humor for sure! And yes, I've taken to wearing one at the range as well.

Joshua, are you sure we shouldn't offer a boonie hat in that kit instead of a baseball cap?

Thomas, Nathan would also insist upon monolithic copper projectiles with an extra tough nose to ensure they stay together and make an exit wound for a nice blood trail over the mountains. One could argue for an extra long box magazine and make it the Tactical Practical. Also, extra light scope and rings to be sure to keep the weight to 6.5 lbs or less, a definite "mountain rifle"!

There is a whole range of rifles to be produced here under "TBR & Associates". From all those high end rifles discussed above to some rusty old P14 with a stainless barrel and enormous clip on beard for the "Thomas Kitchen Edition"

Should have written Big Horn not Montana. Montana being a Win clone.

Very funny Luke. I am sure that in the instruction booklet, the words "Hold it like a man" would not go amiss. Both Dave Manson and I are still surprised how fast the Practical reamers have been selling. We also had dies made. Dave's share of the order was sold before I could even make announcements, am not sure if he has any left. I am currently withholding putting the dies up for sale on our site as we have upgraded the seater stem further. All dies whether sold or yet to be sold will be fitte..

I thought the Remington M700 SPS 7mm Remington Magnum was already the unofficial "Terminal Ballistics Edition Ultimate Long Range Rifle" ? :) Remington supplies the rifle part of the kit, Nathan supplies the Book, DVD, and bedding kit to fix the stock, you pick a scope and off to the races we go! I guess Remington could officially sponsor Nathan like those TV gator hunter guys. Could get the stock hydrodipped with Nathan scowling and shouting "Hold that forend ya pansy!!" I would buy one.

Hey all, final update for this thread. I got the same OSA (Outdoor Sporting Agencies) ammo: Buffalo River with the Sierra 135gr Hollow Points. Range was 100yds and wind was non-existant. Shooting from a bench with bags as rests. Managed this group: 0.098Mil or 0.338MOA, you can see the fouling shot to the right. Then this one: this was the final group. There was some fiddling with the scope but this group is right on centre and 1 mil high (approx 4 inches). This group was 0.093Mil or 0.319MOA In..

Sorry for the giant image. I realise that how these images display via my phone and PC are different. Via my phone the images are scaled to look appropriate whereas on PC they are the full size. Here is the rifle in normal view... I posted regarding the optics here so I won't bother repeating it now. http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Resources/Discussion+Forums/x_forum/21/thread/14088.html [http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Resources/Discussion+Forums/x_forum/21/thread/14088.html] After a quick play..

I read this thread a couple of weeks ago. I have the same stock and used super cheap auto "bed armour" in a spray can. It's a mat black. About 25 dollars. It came out well, I also did the bottom metal. Great look and texture. I can't yet say how long it will last, but seems strong. At this stage I recommend it.
