260 Ackley Improved
MULEPACKHUNTER replied to MULEPACKHUNTER's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Wondering if you had any light primer strikes when fire forming? I might be slightly long on my headspace. I get close to 1 of 10 rounds no ignition. I put a new primer in and then no issue. Also notice the light strikes are on rounds that measure shorter by a few thousandths on gage line. -

I did mine. Im guessing Stomp did his since I bought my reamer from him. -

Havnt made time to reload but it shoots the remington standard really well fire forming so im guessing it will tighten up a few more percent. The Ackley shoulder gives more room at top end of powder charge. It should allow for higher velocity with less powder from what Im told, over the standard rem case. -

So here are some thoughts on the Weatherby 307. I would use this action again, only minor fit and finish issues after getting some measurements. Superior to Rem 700 action for sure. At 750.00 for a ready to go 700 footprint clone action so far I say I like it. Main issue I had with it was they painted the lug face, I skim cut it off while indicating and it was close to square but with just buffing the paint off I got .0005 better. So the metal under the paint was .0005 square to center axis but the paint was showing .001 Overall very nice action -
Long Action any caliber what are you building no holds barred.??????

Put a few rounds through it. Shot decent at MOA. Opened up when it got warm. What is your preference on bottom metal? Bdl or box? I ended up standard bdl but have m5 and magazine in the mail. Delivery issues. Man it’s warm on the range. Looks and feels great in hand. Could have used better glass and bipod. took suggestion and mounted Arca with pic rail up front. Works great on tripod. -
Hearing protection for the shot?

Me and my buddy use the walkers ear buds just like the axil. Work great. Foam for back up. -

Wanted to get some thoughts on this. I heard on Meateater trivia that when Bass bought Cabela's they shut down its headquarters that was in a small town of 6000 people and that close to 2000 people worked there. Makes me not want to shop there ever again. I had already backed off from them and went to Sportsmans anyway but this really irked me.

7 shots at 200 with one other string in between. Modified factory nosler 130 match with 2900 fps claim. Fire forming as well. 2890 to 2960 actual after unloading 3 grains of powder from each case and setting bullet back to .02 off lands. Can’t wait to reload for this. -

voted For as long as I can remember. Was excited to be a part of it. Also know a lot of guys who love guns and don’t vote. I stay away from them but hit them on not voting occasionally trying to get them off their bum

It’s not so much the recoil but the quick pop of that round. It was the first 6.5 PRC I shot, 7lb 4 oz minus scope and yes it has some Zing. -
