    Gunsmithing GAP Crusader's chamber

    Anyone know what reamer is used? George? The reason I ask is that the FB on mine is longer (~.040") than the Savage 10FCP I started out with.

    Gunsmithing Barrel cleaning, bore brush and chamber brush.

    How often are you using the bore brush if your patches come out dark on the first swipe and successively lighter on the following swipes with patches. In five passes with the patches, I'm really not getting any dirt. Are you using your brush at all or just using the patches? How often do...

    Gunsmithing Help with a chamber issue on a new barrel

    I just received my new barrel for a Savage and I installed it with the go and no-go gauges like I have done in the past with other calibers. Then I tried chambering a factory round and it jammed the bullet pretty bad, so I colored the next round and it looks like I would have to seat the...

    I just had a parker hale 22-250 barrel set back 5/8" to tighten the chamber up. He also faced the chamber lugs a tad where the mauser actions tend to dimple them. I can see where the bolt was marked and timing checked. The problem I have is a new winchester case will chamber, a resized case...

    Couple of questions re: reloads in new chamber

    I am about ready to load up some rounds for my new 7mm. The once fired brass I resized fit nicely in the chamber, new brass is "loose" so I assume they will form when fired. Since the chamber is new and custom cut, I would like to load up some misc 140 gr and 160gr hunting bullets over listed...

    FL resized brass in ar15 chamber

    I have a set of RCBS FL dies in 223. When I resize once fired (from my own rifle) brass in the RCBS dies it's a SOB to extract a sized piece of brass from my Mk 12 Mod 1 clone (WOA barrel). I have to either use a cleaning rod or slam the buttstock. It's trimmed to length also and I'm using a...

    Gunsmithing What Chamber

    Gents, Can someone advice me on the most practical .308win chamber dimensions? My measured reloads measure .338 at the neck. I use Lapua brass but I want the option of using factory ammo as well. I was going to ask my smith to cut the chamber to .340 but perhaps that's too tight? Should I go...

    A191 Chamber?

    New barrel is being chambered to A191 specs for a few reasons. Will accuracy be that much different than a match chamber, everything else the same?
