It's nice to hear that the brass is good quality. When it first came out I was thinking that 223 brass would be way too thick if you shortened it that much, and it would take a lot of work form it...

The R700 has a small cam surface between the back of the receiver and the root of the bolt handle. When raising the handle, at the top of the arc the bolt handle rides this cam surface and moves the...

Here is the LRI page about the extraction cam, and he calls out RR actions in particular.

I have not tried it yet, but I've been tempted by the 223 short. I think this is a 223 reamer run in short. I think you could take cheapo 223 dies and cut the bottoms off. The brass would probably...

The R700 is a low tolerance mass produced receiver. Some are fine, some not. There is pretty good aftermarket support to fix problems with them. For the money (often less), I think the Howa...

If you buy loaded ammunition, then I guess you buy what's available. I load my own ammo, and for me the appeal of 22cal is its affordable versatility. There are *lots* of options here, from light...

Over on accuratereloading, there are some threads about using ammo and reloading with pull-down powder from world war one. It all worked fine. The only issue was the primers from back then usually...

This might better explain the possible problem. Do you think this edge is hitting the back of the case instead of going over it?:

Thanks for posting that picture. My idea was that the problem is not the case size, but the ability of the extractor/bolt to go over the rim. In your picture, the chamfer on the bolt near the...

Also, you didn't mention whether the brass was annealed. If you anneal it, the brass will spring back less when sized and end up slightly smaller than otherwise. You could take one of your...

If it were me, I'd figure out where the clearance problem is and go from there. If you take the ejector plunger out of one of the R700 bolts you should be able to hang a case on the bolt face and...

I would agree. I think smaller rounds are a better fit for the smaller actions like the CZ 527, sako, howa mini, etc. Sure you could use a R700, but you could also put a 338 lapua in one. I think...

It seems like if you get a lathe the barrels and wildcats multiply even faster than regular rifles. I shoot all of these out of the same rifle by swapping barrels. It's 223 WSSM, 7mm WSSM, 7mm WSM,...

For connecting at long range, wind drift is the biggest factor. By far. Gravity is relatively predictable, but like you said wind is mostly an educated guess. Wind can change drop slightly, but...

I agree. The 22 has superior ballistics at range, and the longer the shot the bigger the advantage. If you want to talk numbers, here are some basic ones from JBM:

I think a few guys have put 224 Valkyrie barrels on the howa mini with good results. This would be similar to 22 PPC but you can get factory ammo loaded with good long range bullets.

There are...

I made one out of an old rod bolt. It was a bit tedious but still much faster than trying to buy one. If you don't have the tools, a local machine shop should be able to help you out.
