    Gunsmithing Which firing pin for Stiller Tac 30 should I get?

    Im using a Remington Straight Trigger w/safety #518 (lefty). To be honest, I suspect there is either something I am doing wrong or it's the primers but I hate to think that I have 2 bad batches. I have about 900 more of the CCI and 3900 of the Tulammo. Factory ammo has no problem firing, SW...

    Gunsmithing Which firing pin for Stiller Tac 30 should I get?

    I'm using Tulammo 7.62 LR primers and CCI 200. The shoulders on this last 30 were all bumped to 1.569 which is exactly what FGMM, SW ammo, Privi are so I made sure that wasn't a cause. Primers were seated on my Hornady Single stage through the primer tube feeder. I'm using LC 11 brass that is...

    Gunsmithing Which firing pin for Stiller Tac 30 should I get?

    I loaded 30 rounds to the exact specifications of factory ammo and SW ammo and I still had a few hang fires today. I don't get it. I bumped the shoulders to 1.569 by FL sizing (bad batch was 1.564 and below), COAL was 2.805 but I measure from the ogive to the case base anyway. There were about 4...

    Gunsmithing Anybody use the Sinclair Bolt maintenance kit?

    I'm looking to buy some tools that will allow me to fix it should anything go wrong. Does anybody have experience with this tool kit?

    Gunsmithing Which firing pin for Stiller Tac 30 should I get?

    I've come up with Tubb, PTG and Gre-Tan on Midway's site. Do any of you have a Stiller Tac 30 action that you have changed out firing pins and springs for? Will these even work in a Stiller action?

    Bullet Seating Depth ?

    Nice!! Yeah man, it's a pain the ass but if you sort them into lots it'll make reloading more rewarding and you wont have to constantly adjust your seating die. Here's what I did although some here would also break them down into smaller numbers. .650-.655 .655-.660 .660-.665 .665-.670...

    Bullet Seating Depth ?

    It's not the dies. Sierra is notorious for this shit with their SMK bullets. I have about 8 different lengths that I divided 500 bullets into. My measurements using the Hornady bullet comparator gave me .650 (bullet ogive to base) up to .690+ . Huuuge variation but if you sort your bullets first...

    Alpha Industries 10rd mags for AICS

    Alpha mags and Accurate mags both work very well in my PTG bottom metal. The Alphas do expand but it actually works to my advantage because there is no more wiggle.

    American Rifle's M2 Precision Bolt Action Rifle - The Balance of Power

    Correct me if I am wrong but you said .308 up to .338 right? What happens to the extra space in the magazine well when you change calibers? I am really really looking forward to see this thing develop.

    So guys, what's the failure rate of these rifles? I'm kidding. What a beautiful piece of machinery AI has created, daaam.

    Bumped the shoulder way too much. Is there a fix?

    Ok, I'll try that. I already took the bolt apart and checked the firing pin and everything looked in tact. It was clean and the pin didn't seem to be worn down or deformed in any way but then again I don't exactly know what a new firing pin looks like to compare it to. It's a Stiller Tac 30...

    Bumped the shoulder way too much. Is there a fix?

    Nah man, I just swaged the pockets lightly. Factory ammo and SW ammo all chamber fine, not one problem. I just FL sized some other cases to 1.569 so I will see if those work out well. Its only about 30 pieces of LC brass so I'm not too upset. I figure I migt be able to use them on a .308 Semi...

    Bumped the shoulder way too much. Is there a fix?

    Firing pin marks yes, but I'm talking about a mark, not an indentation like it should be. I used a Sinclair bump gage and fired rounds from SW ammo, Federal, Privi Partisan are at 1.569 from the shoulder to the case base. The brass I fucked up is 1.560 up to 1.564. Can .005 cause this much case...

    Bumped the shoulder way too much. Is there a fix?

    The problem is the rounds don't shoot when I load this brass. Factory ammo fires without a problem. I tried two different brands of primers so I'm ruling out that both brands had bad batches. If there is excessive headspace won't this cause misfires? Maybe this is a stupid question but would it...

    Bumped the shoulder way too much. Is there a fix?

    Its LC brass that I bumped way too much, about 30 pieces, and I think this was the cause of a bunch of rounds not firing from my gun. Is there any way to still use this brass?
