No idea, but why would you want a different trigger than the stock factory? Just swap out the spring and you are golden.

Hey Jason, David at AU cannot make a long 30-06 mag due to the limits of the clamshell design. If you can crack that you would have a winner!

Sorry YukonAl, I didn't read your post earlier.
I will follow your break in for the most part. I have the stony point tool but have observed some poor results with that. I did some testing with it in .223 and then did some testing with a cut case and lubed bullet that seemed to give more repeatable results. I took my Dremel tool and cut 2 slots in a case neck and put a lubed bullet in the mouth. I took out the firing pin so I could “feel” what was going on and drove the bolt home and flicked it up and out, but put my finger in ejection port to keep bullet from getting disturbed. This “old fashion” way of determining bullet seating depth seems more repeatable and not relying on the modified case dimensions.
The goal of course is determining the length from the bolt face to the start of the rifling. I have a hell of a time using my caliper (Mitutoyo good one) and getting repeatable results. What I use is the “innovative” tool (brand name) to measure cartridge length. This tool gives me way more repeatability than my good calipers.
I then make a dummy round seated to the lands and store it for reference. I use Wilson chamber seating dies and use the calipers to measure the seating stem for adjustments from the lands.
I do this for all my different bullets, some day I might go the whole route like Eric Cortina does with the green comparators and sorting bullets and so on.
Btw he has an excellent video series on reloading on YouTube.

As some of you know I like moly coated bullets. But for break in I'm thinking naked Berger bullet I have on hand. I plan to buy a box of 20 misc. loaded rounds so I don't need to sacrifice a Lapua case for bullet seating depth.
I hate paying over $1 per round but my Lapua cases shpould last 10-15 loadings or more.

Understandibly he is looking at 10 days shipping, but his product is what I have been looking for.
The best other choice is the giraud for $500+ … Too steep for me.

Thanks for the info Larkin, I will email you if I get plans to visit with my rifle, which won't be soon I'm sure.

No prob, just want to be clear

Ok to be clear
I can hunt but cannot compete? -
Just buy a new barrel and love the action

Don't worry about the doner barrel, just get the action and buy the barrel

I plan to do a trial like this

Just to clarify, these mags in .223 are the best. They are hard and “click” into t3 bottom plastic firmly. The 6.5 x55 mags are total length 81 mm so a bit short of max. But the .223 mags are long and I would match them with any. Clean click in placement.

Ok, David Waters of Australia international high power association Inc. Is the creator of these mags and some of the 2nd Gen ones are available. He has been a tireless advocate for these mags and a few .223 and .308 mags are still available I think. No guarantees and you will need to send cash to him via PayPal. I bought 2 of his mags and have a 6.5×55 on order and he is totally honorable.
David is coming to the USA in July so contact him asap.All that said, john at mountain tactical is working on higher cap mags that might fill the gap.

Hey shtrRdy, were you happy with the results?
What I want to know is if there is a market for “vacation” gun buyers
Meaning if folks from the UK come here , can they bring some loading stuff back?
-
Lol I sympathize with Larkin, you might trade scotch for guns?
Eh smuggling is tough to quantify… Sorry Larkin you are prob out of luck.Btw, what are the rules regarding US tourism? Can I bring stuff on a tourist visa?
