    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    Not cocked vs fired Cocked with the bolt up vs cocked with the bolt closed is what’s being discussed. How much addition compression of the firing pin spring are you doing via bolt lugs when you rotate the handle down.

    And so it begins...

    I use Sinclair but I think the difference is the diameter of the bore hole internally, externally they are the same. If your rod is a 30cal diameter then you would need to use the #5 to fit it. BUT you can use the smaller diameters rods in the larger bore hole. I use the Sinclair #4 equivalent...

    New Lot CCI 450 issues

    Unless you’re rotating the shrouds by hand with the bolt out to let the firing pin down the cocking ramp then it remains stored under full compression. Vs

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR 3 Vs Athlon Cronus

    I’ve only got the 3-18 xtr3 to compare to my cronus but I would take the cronus every day, ignoring glass and fixing in the scope and it’s controls and how everything feels. But the glass goes to the cronus too.

    Howa short action .540 bolt face

    Howa don’t usually offer parts like that, you will likely have to have it opened up by a smith or scavenge one off someone else’s action. I say to buy a second action.

    Gunsmithing Budget sandblaster and spray gun for cerakote

    Sand blasting cabinet: you can see through the Saran Wrap, your hands go under the towel, sand stays in the trashcan. If you are doing small stuff like pistols actions and bolt knobs then get a little toaster oven from target for 30 bucks. If you want chassis and barrels then you’ll need to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best value in a clay gun?

    I wouldn’t discount a nice used gun either. Lots of people buy a gun after they went once and never shoot again. I got a used 391 for like 5-600 bucks (a long time ago now) and it was fantastic, though I don’t shoot shotguns much anymore. Still handles really nicely though and has never given...

    BnA Tacsport X vs PRO

    I too would get the pro as I like my pull weights in the handful of ounces. And just order it with the right sear in the first place for no extra coin. The low sear is a good match for my three origins across several years of production.

    Easiest way to chamfer inside of necks

    Giraud, you can set it to just kiss the chamfer and not take off the actual length, aligns on the shoulder. Once you set it up they cant really mess it up and you just push in and half a twist and its done. Give em some gloves just general finger soreness and let them know they cant leave until...

    22 creedmoor varget 90gr heavy bullets

    H4350 works for me as it’s what Ive got but does make premature pressure compared to a more appropriate magnum powder. 4831 is a step better, rl26 really was the magic dust but it’s gone now so too bad there.

    Mac Bros Evo vs Aero Solus

    For a clone I guess the Mac bros would be the closer of the two options. If you want shouldered the Origin is another 150 or so but it’s got shouldered aplenty, you can get anything for it, it’s got the swept handle at least over the aero even if it doesn’t have the waffle stamped rem knob
