    Bought a Benchrest Rfile - Need Information - 219 Donaldson ?? - Clair Hollingsworth

    Bought a Benchrest Rfile - Need Information - 219 Donaldson ?? - Clair Hollingsworth

    Remington 700 Bolt Stuck

    Bolt stuck closed today, can’t open. 25-06 factory extractor, ejector removed. Pretty sure not a overcharge but seems like extractor is messed up somehow. Please offer some ideas before I get hammering on the bolt handle. Thanks!

    I’m shooting Lapua brass with Federal 205M primers, the barrel has a .250” neck so I am turning necks to get 0.001” per side. I’m seating to get ~ 0.008-0.010” from touching the lands.

    222 rem

    If I competed with today’s hotdogs I’d be happy with 30th place. It was the first rifle I ever put together- Savage target action with a Shilen barrel screwed on with a big ol’ barrel nut.
