    KMW Sentinel Rifle Eye Candy

    In the last pic you can see the mark at 12:00. I believe it's something he does after chambering to aid in marking the barrel in the proper place. Terry would have to confirm that I'm just guessing. All I know is that it ends up at 12:00 after the shoulder bottoms out and the lettering ends up...

    KMW Sentinel Rifle Eye Candy

    Snug and a little bit as suggested by Terry. Tight enough to not shoot loose, but not stretch threads.

    KMW Sentinel Rifle Eye Candy

    Terry keeps all dimensions related to chambering a new barrel per serial number for that purpose. Great that you don't have to send the gun in. He's been great to deal with. I just used a Brownells barrel vise and a Surgeon action wrench. I put an index card on each side of the vise to make sure...

    KMW Sentinel Rifle Eye Candy

    I took delivery today of two additional barrels for my KMW Sentinel rifle. The barrel that has been on it is .308 and the new ones are another .308 24" and a 6.5x47 Lapua 25". Both Krieger. 308 is 11 twist light varmint and the 6.5x47 is 8 twist heavy palma. Got the barrel vise and Surgeon...

    Any way to drop metered charges into the powder drop station in a progressive press?

    On a Dillon you use this funnel: https://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/23633/catid/3/Plastic_Funnel With this die: https://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/23631/catid/4/AT_500_Powder_Die I used this setup for a while throwing charges on a Chargemaster and dumping in a...

    Help please! Inconsistent headspacing

    This is the probably the answer and what I've found to be the biggest culprit of inconsistency. Also another thing I see that helps is to pause at the end of stroke for a couple seconds. It gives the brass time to completely conform. It's common to dwell at the end of stroke in metal forming...

    Ideal caliber for 200-300 yard paper punching?

    Yes those are 3 groups each of 8208 XBR at 30.6 and 30.8 grains. The differences in the same charge weights is seating depth. I picked the best three depths with these charge weights at 100 yards before loading these up and shooting at 300. It's hard to tell much difference at 100 because it...

    Ideal caliber for 200-300 yard paper punching?

    Jon Beanland built it for me recently. It is set up for mid weight bullets/300 yard comp. I use 90 grain Berger BT. I got the chamber reamer from PTG and sent to Jon with most of the parts. It is roughly 4K in parts and labor without optics. Here are the specs minus optic/rings. Have since...

    Ideal caliber for 200-300 yard paper punching?

    6BR fits those needs perfectly. Here are some 300 yards groups from mine during load development. Largest is .842 and smallest .415. Fun caliber to shoot and very accurate. Here is the gun.

    F T/R Competition 300 Yard 20 shot record

    Very nice. I will be coming to comps there starting next year. Hopefully you will be retired by then :). I'm going to shoot 6BR in F Open and .308 in F-TR. BTW, I shoot the same 175 OTM in .308. I like them very much.

    please explane bushings for dies to me..

    The size bushing you use is determined by the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and how much tension desired. It will be different based on what brass you use because of the neck thickness. Typically in .308 I use .002 tension. My loaded round with Lapua brass measures .338 so I use a...

    XLR Industries ROCKS!!!

    Congrats on the XLR. I'm really liking the chassis so far. Here is my Beanland built 6BR. The adjustability is great.

    I use the Innovative Technologies gage. I find it quick and easy.

    Who makes these dies?

    Several people make them. Redding, Whidden are examples. All of the bushings I've seen for these dies are steel. Some are coated for lubricity and hardness while some are not. Both work fine. They have a decapping pin and also have the choice of using the expander ball or screwing it off and...

    My new long range rig - TVP built Remmy 700 in 7mm Rem Mag Tactical Match (updated)

    Very nice setup. I shot 7mm Rem Mag for years and it sure would have benefitted from your brake. Good shooting too. Looks like a keeper.
