Anybody shot the corelokt 220s through a 7600? I think I'm gonna give those a try this fall in the deer woods. Something different to play with.
-Jake The only 220 grain bbullets that I've tried and didn't shoot very accuartely is Hornady 220 RN. However, they were accurate enough for 250 yrad, maybe more. I shot 220 grain Core-Lokts at White tail in a 742. They made a hole all the way through. ha ha Yep. A 30 cal hole all the way through.
Camp is where you make it.

Congratulations Gunner500. They are lots of fun aren't they? Be Well, RZ.

OK serious question for you pump rifle aficionados that also reload. Do you normally see velocities below, at, or above printed book values with your 760/7600/6? I ask because I've been working with 3 different powders that I've used in other rifles and with this pump I'm consistently getting 100-200 FPS slower with max loads. I'm even a full grain over Hodgdons website max load with the IMR4350 and still only about 2650. No signs of pressure but it's annoying the hell out of me. I don't know if it's the gun, the chrono, the bullets or the primers at this point.
If it matters it's a 30-06, 22 inch barrel, tried H4350, IMR4350 and Varget. Remington 9 1/2 primers and Sierra 180gr round nose bullets.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Not all that slow.
A 180 at 2650 is no slouch.
Maybe try a 4831 to see if it adds any more juice.

I load mine around the middle load and don’t worry about it. Most of my shots are under 100 yards.

When I was shooting handloads in my first 760, I always carried in the field with cartridges made from new, never fired factory primed brass. Can you even buy factory primed centerfire rifle brass now? This was years ago. Was sold 20 in the box, same as cartridges. Minimum dimensions, so smooth cycling was assured. Highly important to me at that time.

The chambers on the pumps and semi's seem to run on the tight side about 50% of the time in my experience.
I have 3 760's in 06, a carbine and 2 regular, datewise being manufactured 1952, 1965, and 1979 and all 3 require a full length resizing with a small base die for a shell fired from any other gun for these 3 to chamber the round.
Then I have 2 760's and a 7400 in .308 & 270 dating 70, 71, and 91 and these 3 will chamber a round fired from any other rifle with a regular full length resizing die.

Swung into Graf and Sons today to snoop around and picked up a brand new USA made Burris Fullfield 1 1/2x scope.
Silver finish so will look a bit funky on the old walnut/blued 760 Carbine but it will serve it's purpose.

I really need to stay out of my LGS, LMAO.
Went there today to fill out the paperwork for the Browning Buckmark pistol I bought from him.
So after I finished that, I said let me take a quick look at what you have hanging on the wall, and lo and behold, what do I see at the very end of the wall? A Remington 760 pump that even with my half blind eyes I can see is pristine, spotless.
Date code puts it at December 1979 production, probably one of the last 760's made. Then he tells me this is his other personal gun (I bought his 760 Carbine in .308). So now I know it is pristine because this guy is more anal than I am.
The gun is a BDL Deluxe in 30-06 with the stepped receiver and basket weave checkering. Gun is easily 99.5% Doesn't even look like it was fired, not a scratch or mark on it. Came with a newer Redfield 3X9 (Revolution? didn't look that closely at the scope, with rangefinding reticle) which I think the guy put on the gun just to sell it because the scope base is loose.
When I get the gun later this week after the NICS check is done, I'll put a picture up

How long do you have to wait for a MIC check? Dealer says it's been taking about 4 days, I should have the gun by Friday.

You have to wait when you buy one? Yeah, the federal backround check by the state police is always backed up because they won't spend on the manpower to do it right. Whole state is anti gun including the Superintendent of State Police who has come right out and said he doesn't believe we should have a 2nd Amendment, the lowlife POS !!!! So the "instant" backround check isn't an "instant" backround check here. That's what happens when you live in the communist Republic here rather than a real state !!!!!!

Anybody using Talley Lightweights on their Remington pump?
Thinking about a set of lows if low enough. Scope is a Burris Fullfield 1.5x so it has a 1" tube with no true objective bell. Wanting to go as low as possible.
