Forearm work
« on: September 30, 2011, 09:28:10 AM »
well I wrote a post this week about third shot opening and the talk of forearm work came up. Well I already had o rings on. What I didnt take notice of is how off center my forearm hole must have been as the reciever and forearm spacer were actually cocked pretty bad on two of my guns. That being said I followed Tim post in FAQ but with the tools I had. I filled the hole so it was actually centered and used foil wrap as the spacer on the gapped side instead of a cut brass case. They are as straight as can be and can run a buisness card down both sides with no problem. Hope it helps a little.

Well I went to the range today and man did the work on the forearms help. The 25-06 was able to shoot 3 shot group quarter nickle size when before they were 1 to 2 inches. The 30-30 I changed back to a wood forearm instead of the synthetic and worked the forearm the same and it shot great. If anyone is looking for a good load in the 30-30 try 130 grain hor sp over 24 grains of h4198. Only going about 2200 ft second but due to the bc is equal in energy to the 170 grain factory ammo to about 150 yards. The recoil is like shooting a 223 and you can watch the bullet hit through the scope. It will be hard not to take it on opening day PA gun season. By far the funnest gun I own. PS this load works for me so use at your own risk.
