    F T/R Competition Got winded at Butner 12/2/12

    Well this past Sunday was my second match (1k). Oddly enough my first was the same match at Butner one year ago. Just like last time I met some great people. I would like to give a huge thanks to Ken Barfield of DoubleHgunsmithing…don’t know if he’s on here or if I can even post that but...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Haha Milo, thanks! I do have a couple where I got out of sequence in my timing and over cooked them, I burnt my hand on one of them too...as it turns out, no you cannot run your bare hand through a torch and not get burnt. Oh I am the king of rigging, a...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Lol, thanks for the compliments...I'm blushing like a little school girl. That's funny Turbo, I hadn't thought of that...great...I may shed a tear setting these puppies off now. I am an inganeer so I usually spend way too much time on the details that...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Well after taking some advice in this thread, I changed my rig up a little. Second go around: Uploaded with ImageShack.us The lighting makes them look darker than they really are I use a lee collet die then a gutted Redding type S FL sizer to bump the...

    Incorporating a Lee Collet Die into my process

    Re: Incorporating a Lee Collet Die into my process I originally started with a Redding Type S FL bushing die only, I even tried the carbide floating button for awhile too. After talking with a few on here, I have switched up. Lee Collet first, then gutted Type S FL sizer (no ball or bushing)...

    F T/R Competition Vortex PST FFP vs. Better SFP for F T/R

    Re: Vortex PST FFP vs. Better SFP for F T/R I have a FFP Vortex 6x24 and I bought it before I knew my niche would be FTR. Awesome scope but I am regretting the purchase as the reticle size does annoy me now on 24x. At some point in the near future I will be selling this one and looking for...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Keep in mind I don't have any experience with annealing other than what's posted, but in my simple head, it makes sense that the shoulder should be softened to original specs since I am FL sizing every time and definitely work hardening it. With that being...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Thanks for the kind words and again for the help. I'm going to try these out as well as some 5x fired annealed brass against new brass to see if they all shoot about the same.

    Reloading data for 2000 MR?

    Re: Reloading data for 2000 MR? 51gn for berger 168 hybrids 48.6gn for 185BTLR 47gn for berger 200 hybrids. Shot my best group ever with this load but got a little gun shy after doing a "temperature" test, I shot these on a 90+F day and they were in the sun a few minutes, group opened up...

    Reloading data for 2000 MR?

    Re: Reloading data for 2000 MR? You will notice your primers will flatten much earlier in the charge range, mine did at least. So I just went off bolt lift/case markings for pressure signs. All in Win brass, but bolt gun and a little longer than you will be loading to. Max, accurate/safe...

    2000 MR and 200 SGK in .308

    Re: 2000 MR and 200 SGK in .308 I know you are talking about SGK's but I was using 47gn with 200 berger hybrids, very accurate and ~2725-50fps w/30" barrel. Again probably not useful info to you as I am sure the bearing surfaces are less with the bergers. No pressure signs until I let the...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Wow, thanks for all the responses guys! I may end up getting some tempilaq but not for the necks but for the case head, one of things I am worried about is the AL case holder I have getting heat soaked and possibly softening the brass there. I don't think...

    First time annealing, need help

    Ok so I put together quite the rig but want to try this annealing stuff out before I make the switch to $$ lapua brass. This is Win brass (.308). What I am doing now is rotating the torch so that the inner blue tip is right in the center of the shoulder between the neck and the side of the...

    F T/R Competition what kind of scope is used

    Re: what kind of scope is used XTR: Question for you. I have a Vortex PST 6-24X-50 FFP on my FTR rig now...it's a solid scope and I do like it. I originally bought it because I didn't know whether I wanted to do the tactical thing or FTR stuff. I now know I much prefer FTR, and...

    Neck Sizing Die

    Re: Neck Sizing Die My newbie two cents, these guys are right. I bought a Redding Type S bushing sizer initially but always noticed the pressure when seating bullets varied by quite a bit, plus you are supposed to neck size in steps using the bushings per redding, which would have meant...
