This is just me having some rapid fire fun shooting my Remington 700 SPS tactical at a steel target at 200 m. I hand loaded over 100 rounds that needed to be fire-formed so I loaded them with some ss109 steel cored what I considered as fodder bullets (they are not that accurate since there is such a large variance in length and actual weight of the bullet). Since I am only fire-forming and having some rapid fire fun, I did no load development for the round but I was still able to consistently shoot the bottom of the target I was aiming at.
List of equipment:
Remington 700 SPS tactical in .223
Weaver 0 MOA scope mount
TMS 30mm Picatinny scope rings very heavy duty with 6 screws per ring and especially since I used longer screws to replace the original
Sightron SIII 3.5-10x44mm Mildot scope
Butler Creek scope caps of appropriate size
H-S precision PST-025 stock (adjustable for length of pull and cheek piece is adjustable for height)
Badger Ordnance bolt knob
Harris 9-13" bipod
And some sling I can't remember the name
What is wrong with your magazine?

@davkenrem There is nothing wrong with the magazine. I reload and seated the bullets long because of Remington's ridiculously long freebore. Because the bullets are seated long the OAL is longer than standard length. When you load and chamber them one at a time as you chamber the rounds you need to do if fast or the bullets with end up nose diving (pointing down) as they move forward thus hitting the face of the barrel and not chambering.

how do you keep the cheeckpiece adjustment knob from turning once its set??
swerv512 2 years ago
I have found that the cheekpiece and its adjustments are a little more loose than I would like when in its stock form. There are actually two rods holding the cheekpiece on the stock. I is the guide rod the other is the adjustment rod I just wrap a little plumbers thread fitting tape on the rods so they are snug when inserted into the stock. That will hold your cheekpiece adjustment from moving.
