Exactly How I Feel Hey there Landy. It's always good to read your posts. Glad to hear you're doing fine and enjoying yourself. I know what you mean about the rewards of helping others because I feel exactly the same way. Looking for gremlins and searching for the keys to unlock...

Good Questions Cecil, these are all very good questions. :eek: I'll be listening closely to the responses. My rimfire experience has been limited but I'm certainly interested and have an open mind to it. I obtained two new Turbo actions from Flash Ebert several years ago and had Bill Myers...

Well said Richard. Keep up the good work. You are at the cutting edge of tuner technology and stand ready, willing and able to teach others at your own facility. You can't do better than that. Relative newcomers to benchrest who are starting off on the right track with your tuner...

Yes sir Jerry! Benchrest IS fun! For some of us that is. As you know, it's not for everyone, but for those of us born with an insatiable fascination with rifle accuracy, it's a never ending journey. We can't fly forever but we can study and pursue rifle accuracy as long as we live; huh...

You're Right Tim I should have kept my mouth shut and stayed out of this. No, I'm not a rimfire shooter. Sorry for butting in. I just have such high regard for Mike Ezell that I can't remain silent if I think he needs help. I wish you and Mike could get together and demonstrate how...

I'm not gonna' say,, ,,what I'm thinking, but I'll just say, send it back to whoever rented you this reamer and make a note to never do business with them again!

Thank you Fred. I'm glad there are those who enjoy reading about my exploits in extreme rifle accuracy. I like to share what I learn with others. Much of what I write about is of interest only to gunsmiths and those hobbyists who have the equipment and knowledge to do their own machine work...

Alinwa is right The chances of an off-the-shelf sizing die matching any chamber cut by the finest gunsmith in the world is about as close to zero as it gets.:rolleyes: The only answer is standardization and I don't mean SAMMI specs, which are better than nothing but nowhere near what is...

Okay Now I Understand Mornin' Jerry! Yes, of course, now I remember. Now it all makes sense. Haven't seen Pat Hurley for a while but I'm sure he will always be around. He's one of the true blue lifers in this game. "Show me a big winner or HOF shooter using more than .002 neck...

Oh my Lord, NO! We are losing too many of our wonderful friends that make the sport of benchrest what it is. During my thirty years in this sport, Randy was always there; someone you could depend on. I was honored when he came to shoot with me in the tunnel. He didn't need any help. God...

Question Jerry, I'm not the brightest bulb in the string but I don't understand.:confused: "Slack Grabber? :confused: After thinking about it for a couple of days, I think I know who you mean but, yo no comprendo on the "Seems too, now it takes about .001 or less to get a .14 agg." huh...

Sounds good Jackie Jackie, .0035 difference between the loaded round and neck diameter should be perfect. Glad to hear you are giving the Norma brass a try. .0005 run out is terrific quality in any case. Please keep us informed of your results. Later, Gene Beggs

The Lapua 6mm Russian NT (aka the 6 Beggs NT) Mike, I'll have some test results for you soon. I just finished chambering a new Krieger 13.5 twist barrel in the no-turn 6mm Beggs cartridge .274 neck. Loaded round diameter is .271. Later, Gene Beggs

Gadgets Galore If you are a gadget freak, benchrest is a haven for such. Watch the experienced experts and see what kind of gadgets they use in their loading, cleaning and bench equipment. You will usually find their equipment is quite simple with no frills. :cool: The best barrel cooler I...

Well,,, maybe,, I did get,,, ,,,a little carried away when I dissed wiping fired case necks clean before sizing. :o Good point Richard. I must remember that unlike me, not everyone has abandoned all thought of keeping things neat, clean and orderly. Okay, you can wipe your fired case...

Question? Wilbur, it's good to get your comments. I do have a question though; you say you once let your case necks grow too thick and the rifle shot poorly. I don't understand how case necks can grow after being put into use. :confused: Hopefully everyone understands that I'm not...

Good Question Mike, I have only chambered one 6mm Beggs No-Turn barrel. It shot well and everything worked just fine but I got caught up in other projects and only shot it in the tunnel. I still have the barrel and cases and will take a look at the neck wall consistency after they have been...

Hey Jerry. Bet you thought I forgot that I promised to get back to you on this; huh? :rolleyes: Nope! Not this time. Using a Mitutoyo ball mike, the neck wall thickness of a random selection of cases showed the average to be .0147 with one small bump nearing .0149. I figured that was good...

Sounds good to me Gene My procedure for new cases (Lapua 220 Russian) 1. Load 50 cases in loading tray 2. Spray on 4 sides of cases (Also goes down in the neck some) with Hornady "One Shot case lube" 3. Expand neck to .243 4. Turn necks to 0.00084--I do add lube to cutter mandrel 5. Load and...

Yes sir Richard, I know what you mean when you say, "It's great when somebody finally 'gets it' when it comes to tuners." We have come a long way with centerfire tuners. It's been fun and a very interesting project. There are many who have contributed lots of money and time to bring us to...
