Definitely! RCBS service is great & you'd usually receive a FOC replacement within a couple of weeks

6.5x55SE - I use 43gns Viht. N550 with 123gn Hornady SST's & have perfect accuracy & performance

Maybe a Thompson Centre Contender? A friend had one in 7mm Rem..... worth a look I guess

I have some RWS original factory ammo, but I haven't fired it. I bought Norma brass & use it all the time... it's good brass. I always re-size to fired headspace dimensions & don't have any issues with my reloads. SAAMI/CIP resizing usually always reduces brass life, often significantly. These...

Ho YUS vicar sergeant - THIS is the beastie! rare as rocking horse poo to find tho'.

You’re not going to get further until you manage to completely strip & clean the bolt Scipio. To strip the bolt takes very few minutes & you will establish it’s condition easily. Clean it thoroughly & re-assemble it dry of lubricant (Methylated spirit is good to degrease with, inexpensive too)...

Is it stiff closing on a chambered cartridge or just stiff closing on an empty breech? The bolt closure should always be smooth & only slight resistance whether empty chamber or with cartridge in place. However, an incorrectly resized cartridge can cause resistance (Stiffness) both closing &...

Thing is, it's all pretty academic - all calibres/cartridges discussed here will take every live quarry in the UK. The heavier cal/cartridge ones will have more recoil but these days recoil is tamed by using moderators.. which have their place when hunting. Though personally, I don't & never...

I guess the thing is, if you like what the 25-06 does, enjoy it, agreed if you're a reloader that helps a lot, but a 110gn Accubond bullet will take EVERYTHING in the UK without any issue at all & will run at around 3050fps MV & a Sierra 100gn ProHunter bullet running at around 3150fps is just...

Indeed they do - the bolt should easily slide right into battery. If the rifle doesn't do this, it's likely the bolt should be fully stripped down & all old oil/grease completely cleaned. These bolts are so easy to fully strip down & reassemble. It can be done in a couple of minutes Cheers

As I understand it, to have a spare barrel for a K95 from Blaser, the rifle should be returned to Blaser (For correct fitting). That was the info I had from my local retailer - the cost was pretty high (I thought) so didn't proceed. The cost was around £2k plus for a standard barrel. More if the...

I have 2 MSch rifles much older than yours 1922 & 1936 vintage - the bolt lift is easy. Very slick bolt actions that slide easily into battery, lifting & extraction very smooth. Have you stripped the bolt completely & cleaned it ? It's easy to do. There is a Facebook page for Mannlicher...

Brilliant cartridge for everything in the UK - clearly not fashionable but very accurate with more than enough MV & terminal energy for the long range shots when necessary. I've used it for more than 25yrs with the Nosler 110gn AB bullet. Including on very large stags in the rut. Very low recoil...

Viht N550 is great for this bullet & should give around 2750fps MV - accuracy is excellent

Excellent propellant for this weight of bullet in 6.5x55SE
