    223 trainer freebore

    Well then you have some room to chase the lands as the throat erodes. The problem with really long throats and boatail bullets would be as you load these bullets out further and further, eventually the case neck no longer supports them as the long boatail shortens the full diameter bearing...

    .300BO, H110, and 125 gr. in AR platform

    My 300BO loves 1680 in the supper sonic loads and with good bullets, thinks it's a benchrest rifle. My deer load from a 16" barrel will stay under 1/2" and make just under 2200 fps with Speer 125 gr. TNTs. Standard small rifle primers will be right choice as there is a relatively small charge to...

    Weirdness with CFE223, have you ever seen this?

    Something is cutting your bullet's jacket. This is not powder related. Are your cases chamfered? Have you got a bore scope, or have a friend with a borescope? A quick check of the lead would tell if there was a problem there. It's rather baffling, as I can't imagine any way to uniformly cut a...

    Help me choose a Brass trimmer

    The Little Crow gets my vote as well. Buy it, set it, and you can trim cases as fast as you can pick em up and insert them. I chuck mine up in a mini-lathe and can't even think about getting my Sinclare out.

    Best tool for neck turning?

    I use 2 K&Ms with carbide pilot and cutters. One for the roughing cut and one for the final cut. Be aware, if your using power to turn your tools, you can build up heat that will spoil your precision work. My turner sit in ice water between cuts so I can keep heat down to a minimum. With that...

    Hand prime?

    Gee guys, if you just mash a primer in the case and call it good, then your reading the wrong thread. a little research will get you info on why you want to use a hand priming tool instead of your press. But, if you want to advance, listen and learn, Seating a primer .003-4 below the case head...

    stuck case

    A cleaning rod is your friend... just don't ask to borrow mine... I would recommend that you have your bolt handle TIG welded on so pecking on it with a mallet doesn't break it off next time. Wayne

    Hand prime?

    Hand priming is the best way, you get a good feel for the job. I want to feel the primer touch the bottom of the pocket then I apply a slight bit more pressure, this slightly compresses the priming pellet and set it to be sensitive. As an aside, you should check your main spring at least once a...

    PTG Stealth DBM

    I have two, the long action on a Rem. 700 in .280 AI, and a short action on another Rem. 700 in .260 AI. Both work, but the LA was the most trouble free. The short action required inletting of the stock, and as with any bottom metal, hight, of the mag is everything. If it's too high, the bolt...

    Redding Neck sizing dies for 260 Remington

    The type S bushing set is the one you want. For match shooting or hunting I recommend you full length size every time. Neck sizing has it's place, but that's usually with minimum custom chambers and neck turned brass. Hope this helps some, Wayne

    Looking for a place to start with 280AI, 180 Berger Hybrids, and RL-17.

    That powder's a little too fast... Particularly for heavy bullets. I use VV 560 and Berger 168s in mine. If you have a long enough barrel to get those 180s to 2800 - 2900 FPS, they will really shoot flat! Wayne

    Data for ALL Cals Ackley Imp

    .260 AI My match load is 47.2 GR. RE 17 in Rem Brass with Rem 9 1/2 and Sierra 123s Out of my 8.5 twist 29" Krieger barrel I get 3250 FPS. This is a really good barrel, and it shows. It's not unusual to get 3 round groups of 1/4" I've used this load to 1100 yards and have found it really easy...

    Hand Loading for Long Range 2: Bullet Sort/Prep

    Hey Tres, When sorting bullets with the Sinclair sorter, what you are trying to control is your seating depth, which becomes very critical, particularly when your dealing with VLDs. In benchrest, 3 thousandths is a standard incremental adjustment when your approaching the sweet spot as measured...

    Who makes the best bolts?

    Thank You Sir! Thanks, That has given me lots to consider, and some excellent info! Most likely the Alexander Arms bolt will be the way I'll go. And I'll get on the tutorial on lapping the lugs. I've done several bolt actions, but never an AR. Again, guys you've been a great help! Wayne...

    Who makes the best bolts?

    That's a good reply! And good info. I wonder what Robert Whitley is using for bolts? Wayne
