What does the lapping do? Just curious as on ARs the bolt locks into the barrel extension and the upper is just along for the ride...

I'm happy with the carbon Hunter's Edge stock on my M70. McMillan has a lot of different Remington patterns, you can see them at their shop by Deer Valley Airport. They stock some models, otherwise they are a long lead time item and maybe too late for this fall.

Is this the one Doug sold?

Harry Lawson LLC would be worth talking to...

Stick powders can definitely "bridge" in the spout. Sometimes you can tap it and get it to flow, otherwise dump that one and throw another, especially if you are not trickling up to the final weight on a scale. This is the reason the "short cut" powders were developed. Ball powders will not do this, although they can be more temp sensitive in my experience. My RCBS measure has two spouts with different internal diameters. If yours does use the larger one... Re-reading your post, It sounds like you are feeling the kernels being cut by the drum when rotating. That is normal for long stick powders.

My old 10x50 SLs came back with a new body/serial number a few years back. If there is an issue with the prisms that's all they can do. Great service.

I won't tell my wife that...

We have the shorter offroad style Starcraft RT10 and like it a lot. Ours does not have the storage platform at the front and can get into some pretty tight places.

If you can wait until January there are lots of buyers in town for the auctions...

I have shot a ton since I got from you. Still haven't shot this one though. The safe is overflowing and other wants on the mind. Hope all is well my friend! I know the feeling. I took it on trade and liked it, just couldn't get used to a semi after shooting doubles for years. Good luck with the draw!

That didn't last long ...

For carry use only, I'd go with an Uncle Mikes mountain sling. Very lightweight and has a non slip pad where it contacts your pack strap. I use a Brownells Latigo sling and use it as a shooting sling in conjunction with my pack instead of a bulky/heavy bipod.

I wouldn't be concerned. I would want to make sure it was well blended and I would start a little low on your loads and cross check to your previous chrono data, which is wise with many powders anyway when staring with a new lot number. Burn rates vary from lot to lot...

I'll let you know... The powder is perfectly good though. I'd guess 2 years old, kept in the house. My .270 barrel just didn't last as long as my powder supply for it and my new 6.5-06 tube likes H4831 and H1000.

Reloder 22 and a 130 Hornady at 3000 fps worked great out of my 22" M70 barrel. 500 yard group shown...
