    How much do dies really matter in accuracy?

    Sliding sleeve seater dies can produce 0.001" better concentricity that simple seater dies. That has too small an effect for me to measure on the target.

    Sizing Die Faceoff

    Ammo concentricity has a mathematical relationship with group size as published NRA A.A. Abatto. But ammo is inserted in the chamber with random rotational orientation. Cut chambers with eccentricity are fixed orientation. While we shoot ammo that is 0.0050" concentric and that matters, we...

    How much do dies really matter in accuracy?

    I experimented with dies in 2009. I used my 223 die collection with populations of 20 pieces of brass and fired them again and again measuring case length growth and concentricity. Each population of brass was dedicated to one die, over and over. I had already tested my way to believing the...

    Norma moving US headquarters to Savannah Ga. area.

    I should ask, "Hey, why is Norma brass so soft? My 257 Roberts ackley rimmed with Norma brass is as pressure limited as 257 rob ack with extractor grooves."

    School me on the "best 6mm"

    I have built 6mmRem rifles, but was not happy. I have built 243 rifles [2 in the last month] and they are ok. I have built 6mmBR rifles and they shoot the best. I have never tried to make a 6mmBR into a repeater. But it is the best if you can stand single shot. I shot 2 antelope one morning...

    How many bolt action rifles have you built in the last year?

    I would consider it build if I just collected parts and screwed them together. By the time I cut threads, cut chamber, headspace, make pillars, and glass bed.... I have taken it apart and put it together 50 times.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Making dummy rounds for 243, 260, and 308 to check feeding in 1903 Turkish Mauser builds. The 2.990" 243 round is long for use as a go gauge for 243 chamber throating.

    6mm Build Taking Shape

    For myself, I have built 6mmBR, 243, and 6mmRem rifles in heavy and lightweight. I like the 6mmBR lightweight the best on Rem700 SA, but I use it single shot... too short to feed.

    Savage QC Sucks

    Every time I build a savage type action, I tell myself "never again". I will still build: 1) Rem 700 2)Win M70 pre 64 3)1898 Mauser 4) Mosin Nagant 5) Arisaka Some Actions to avoid: 1) Sav 110 2) Win 1885 falling block 3) Savage 1899 lever action
