    How does neck lube effect the neck tension?

    I'm assuming 308 Win. I run the same load basically but with Federal Match primers. My SD is single digit. What is your neck tension? There should be no lube in the neck.

    Cold bore problem AE MkIII

    88.5 in lbs is more than most chassis and stocks are torqued to I believe. Regardless, I'm pleased with initial results. 1st shot was less than .125moa off poa.

    Cold bore problem AE MkIII

    5 shots cold bore after removing chassis and reinstalling torqued to 10Nm per AINA: Will continue to test but I think this fixed the issue.

    Any Interest in Steyr SSG 69 Aluminum Trig. Guard

    Call CDI. Historically all of his bottom metal has been the same price. The one shown appears to have been anodized so he's very far along in his process. I'm expecting mine soon. On another note, keep in mind mags like the 5 shot AI will protrude very little compared to the one pictured.

    Krylon Barreled Action/Bolt Only

    Looks nice. Fwiw, Brownell's has some nice spray can coatings and a cheap firing pin tool that would make shroud and bolt painting easier.

    Checking run out with a Concentricity Guage

    Use FL bushing dies and FL size every time setting shoulder back only 1-2 thou. Use lots of Imperial sizing lube - be liberal with it - runout will go away and it's almost impossible to cause a lube dent w Imperial. Don't waste your time w flash holes and primer pockets - especially if you're...

    Cold bore problem AE MkIII

    I might be able to live w .25 to .5 MOA but not 2.0. This is a relatively expensive gun designed for law enforcement use which would primarily entail sniper/1st/single shot performance requirements.

    Cold bore problem AE MkIII

    I've been shooting my SSG and my SPR before the AE at my range sessions for comparison. I'm not having the issue with those guns....that I am cold on.....

    Cold bore problem AE MkIII

    I am REALLY enjoying my brand new AE w the factory 24" 308 barrel. The folks at Europtic took great care of me on the purchase. I have 200 rounds through it with 175/178/180 Amaxs, Matchkings and Hybrids all on top of a moderate load of Varget at approx 2550fps. With a dirty fouled bore...

    What are some good optional reloading pieces?

    Get a K&M chamfering tool and a Sinclair runout gauge and be sure to use plenty of Imperial sizing lube. Use Norma brass and don't worry about uniforming primer pockets and flash holes as the Norma is consistent and the holes are drilled and not punched. Time and trouble on pockets and holes...

    Barnes LRX

    My 300 Win 10 twist stabilizes the 200 well enough it seems. Barnes told me that the 175 needs a 10 as well. I don't understand this as the 175 is quite a bit shorter. My '06 has an 11 twist..... To those shooting the 175, what twist is your rifle? Sounds like there may be some 10 twist...

    F T/R Competition anyone shooting at bayou rifles in houston this weekend?

    I'd like to add that I also think it's a great place for many reasons but it's too bad they don't allow steel.
