I'll take it. check PM. Tried to PM you but your box is full. Pm me please.

Wow! There's no end to these prices!! LOL!

The OP is talking about a SAMMI cartridge in a factory rifle. So obviously talking virgin brass? Do you fireform virgin brass in a SAMMI chamber before starting load development?

So you don't fireform brass first? I for one am not waiting for a fouled barrel to show up right in the middle of a hunt or match whether it's 40 shots or 50 shots?

It's simple take the 30/06 box from your Tikka and measure the inside of the box minus .020". This will be the max length you can load in that box. Get a sample 280 AI cartridge made up with your favorite bullet that will fit the box and send that sample to your gunsmith so he can cut the proper chamber to fit. Or you can send that sample to a reamer company like JGS and have them make a reamer to the specs of that sample. Understand that the 280 AI is based on the 30/06 case so it should work perfectly!

More like the 308 is the Suburban and the Creed is the Smart Car!! LOL!! All kidding aside it's comparing apples to oranges! The 308 is a top performer in the target shooting field!

MEC 600 JR is a simple way to go. You can do 2 3/4" or 3". It's a single stage press where you move the empty from station to station by hand. You can add an auto primer feed which makes reloading even simpler. Changing from 2 3/4" to 3" is a matter of adjusting the main tower stem by pulling a screw and inserting it into a different slot. Current price about $250.

Thanks for the post of another Berger dealer. It may a few days before they can get to their shop! They're snowed in right now!!

Is this bullets or ammo? if it's ammo how many to a box?

Yep that carreer don't pay much! LOL!

Dillon doesn't have them? Fantastic tool!

I've got two 20 count boxes of Remington 170 grain Core-Lokt ammo. $100 I'm in Tucson. I can ship UPS for $15. PM me if interested.

I have two brand new unopened 50 count bags of Winchester 32 Win Spec, Sold!!! Sold!

Watch out!

I'll take it if Nitemann doesn't take it and if you can ship!

When you take the heads off you will need to remove intake and exhaust manifolds so gaskets for those is part of a head replacement or milling job. A good shop can help decide which way to go. About the only other way water is going to get into oil is through a cracked block.

You don't need a long block, just two heads and gaskets! Maybe just two head gaskets and get the heads milled down, if you're lucky.

Yup blown head gasket or warped head! Did you get her hot?

I don't know about that. There's some pretty cheap stuff out there but you won't know how cheap till you pay for the medical bills, LOL!!!

Limit of one! Hazmat charge, shipping charge, tax makes it one expensive pound of powder.

I've got a bunch of it. Once fired from factory ammo. I can ship to you. $.40 each. Priority will run $8 . PM sent

Go to Hodgdon web site they list some loads for 250g bullet. I would not recommend using someone elses load as your rifle and brass may be completely different. N570 and Retumbo are close in burning rate and are better suited to this bullet.

Very disappointing that they only have a 10 1/2 inch barrel and that trigger sucks! I've built a few 1000 yard handguns with the Remington XP100 action last one was in 6.5X47 Lapua. I've never had one with a barrel less than 14 inches. Too many problems burning all that slow burning powder for heavy bullets in any barrel shorter than that. So I don't think it'll be a 1K contender.

Nice shotgun! Great guy to do business with. Deal w/confidence.

Replied to your PM with offer.
