The adjustment for LOP for a Ruger chassis gun we saw yesterday was a bit clunky/hard to get adjusted. The cheek rest adjustment was easier to use.
Is this an indication of the quality of the gun?
We went to Green Top today. Sure looked fully stocked. We loved the place. Will saw some chassis guns and got a look at a lot of the others mentioned here.
I almost bought an antique Marlin 32 Rimfire.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Son wants a longer range capable bolt gun. He likes the Rem 700, but wants to consider others.
Besides Cabela's, etc., can you recommend a store where we can checkout the choices?
I didn't think I was "obsessing". I've loaded and fired 30-06 and 8mm mauser and haven't seen this issue before. I was concerned about the reduced case capacity in combination with the fact that my 13 year old son will fire these loads.
So I think my issue is that the once fired Remington cartridges are coming up short. The max trim length is 51.79 mm, and mine, after full length resizing, are measuring around 51.60 to 51.65. I can't get 64.77 mm (I switched to mm ... 64.77mm = 2.550") when I seat the bullet to the cannelure...
Great info, thanks.
The bullet I'm using has a cannelure, it may be outside the case to get 2.55. Is that an issue?
I am using a lee crimp die, and these are just for target shooting.
