Wow Chyhunting ! That is some amazing shooting ! What sabots are you using and how long between shots ?

derfhunter said:My thoughts on the heavier bullet impacting higher is the heavier bullet recoils more pushing the rifle back further on the rear bag
causing the back of the rifle to drop more which makes the line of sight higher. All this happening before the bullet exits the barrel.
Some people will argue that the bullet is out of the barrel before all this happens. In my opinion it happens as described above.

That was a potential reason given to my Firing Line query. But most thought that would possibly only occur from the excessive recoil for a pistol. However, I have no clue so I'd have to lean towards the BC theory based on Newton's Law "A body in motion tends to stay in motion".

Click on the "edit" button and delete/erase it.
Keep track of your brass, REAL good and after each time shooting. If they show ANY signs of leaking, throw them out.
Its great to see the RU shooting like it should. That rifle is a long range rifle and there's no reason it can't shoot like that all the time. Yes, the shooter needs to do his/her part.
How and what did you make your cooling rods from?

I made my cooling rods from 1/2" aluminum solid rod, then just made a "case" out of 4" pvc , sealed one end and put a screw cap on the other. I learned the hard way about the breech plug and leaking brass. If they start to leak , they will burn the tip off of the breech plug. It was my fault, used too big of a punch to knock out a primer and slightly enlarged the hole... NO GOOD. Remington replaced it free of charge. Also when it develops a leak it will not fire BH reliably, I was getting misfires and hangfires every outing, which is what led me to notice it was burnt. After replacing, haven't had a misfire or hangfire since.

I'm thinking of getting a bench rest style stock or put some sort of plate on the bottom of my stock to help with the gun torqing . At Friendship you only can hold the gun with your right hand (ENCORE you already know ) I'm thinking maybe then the gun will recoil straight back ? I'm trying to figure out the very best set up and load . Then I'm going to strictly work on my form . Lord knows I have lots to work on in that department !
chyhunting said:I don't know how Remington figures headspace. I think they must use the mentality of less is more. LOL....When I close the bolt I can feel the bolt pushing the brass tight on the "nipple" in the breech plug, plug stays good and clean so I suspect it is sealing good. When my old plug started leaking ,the bolt closed much easier and the bolt side of the plug and the brass got dirty from the "blow by.
chyhunting said:Wow , thats a lot of brass work. Great method. I installed the plug myself, just screwed it in and torqued to spec., seals great. I shoot every weekend. Ive got brass that ive lost count how many times ive reprimed and they aren't leaking yet. I'm sure its past time to get rid of the older ones before they do start leaking though.
I'm definitely going to check out my brass like you have described. I'm still getting good "bolt pressure" when closing on all my brass but I'm a FIRM believer of doing everything I can to keep everything as consistent as possible. I believe the more consistent we can make everything , then the only variable left is human. Which is why I practice sooo much..ENCORE50A said:chyhunting said:Wow , thats a lot of brass work.

I can't stress enough how you should keep track of that brass. Its also amazing how well you have your replacement plug sealing. Just remember that the brass isn't consistent with head thickness. As far as the brass work, its something to do during the winter or when there's only reruns on TV. Keeps a man's mind busy :wink:
