Re: Wyoming F&G Big Game Hunting Ammp Proposal
My word! basicaly a 50% price hike accross the board. I certanly wouldn't be willing to pay that much. Considering when I lived in Wyoming I was buying 2 Antelope tags, 2 deer tags, and 1 elk tag, I'd be reducing the number of tags I bought...
Re: Ordering up a manners stock
May consider the SL. While they won't do the barrel channel that big you do have room to open it up. Just a traditional style stock that is pretty versitile for most uses.
Re: PC-7
I've used it as a filler, but by comparison to the standar bedding compounds the compressive strength is pretty low. It would probably work OK, but I would rather wait a couple days and order Marine-Tex, Devcon, or Pro-Bed 2000.
Re: Size of Exit Hole on Muzzle Brake
Certainly not needed. I have put a brake on every 6.5x47 I have built however. Just set it up threaded for a can from the beginning. I figure if it's already threaded may as well make use of it. As a bonus it sure makes spotting your own shots a piece...
Re: Prison Pink Cerakote H-141???
Haven't used the pink ceracoat, but I did a customers kahr in pink duracoat. That required white underneath to get the right color.
Re: Size of Exit Hole on Muzzle Brake
Larger is no problem. If taken large enough it may lose some effectiveness, but probably not snogged to notice. I generally go for. 015-.020 over bullet diameter.
Re: Prayers for members child
Prayers sent. Went through this same thing with my son for the last half of 2002. I know what you're going through, and it sucks. Just remember with the lord's help those little guys are tougher than we give them credit for.
Re: can i see your 10mm's
Here is one of them. Officers frame, Commander length slide, full power loads will get your attention, but deffinately controlable with practice.
Re: 6.5 x 47 favorite load?
37.5 of Ramshot Big Game
130 Berger ws2 coated
.015 into the lands
Run this one in my br rifle with a 30" Krieger, has also done very well in each of the other 3 rifles in this caliber I've built. .3's were typical.
Re: 338 Lapua Ackley Imp H2O capacity
Mine came out at 123, but I also only cut the chamber to the point that the bolt still closed firm on a factory 338 lapua round. The go gauge was used as a no go. If it were chambered to use the go and no go as they normally would the capacity would...
Re: Binos or Spotter for hunting/range use
If I had to chose between the two I'd get a good set of binos, especially for hunting. Much mor versitile, handy, and if I can't tell if the animal is big enough to get my interest through binos he ain't big enough.
ALthough for your budget of 1K...
Re: Coating a Scope with Cerakote.
The anodized scope surface does just fine. Just use c series or if using h series keep the temp down to about 150 and run it for 4 hours.
Re: cutting new chamber help
That' pretty much it. I use a dial indicator with a long probe on it that will allow me to reach about 2" into the bore. I get that point running true, and a point just inside the bore. When these two points are both showing concentric it's time to start cutting.
Re: Bolt binding on Stiller Action
My 2 stiller actions, tac30 and viper are absolutely slick. I've used about a dozen stiller actions and all have been very Smith from the start, just get slicker with use.
