Good Report That's good to hear Richard. I have not tried the Norma brass but will check it out. I'll bet Rod Stapleton is one of your tuner school graduates; huh? :cool: Later, Gene Beggs

Jerry, I have an unopened new blue box of cases I picked up in Phoenix at the Cactus. I'll mike the necks and see how they look, but I have never seen a batch of Lapua 220 Russian cases with problems. Through the years since Lapua started making the 220 Russian, I have probably gone through...

Loading and shooting the no-turn 220 Beggs (aka Lapua 220 Russian) The question often comes up as to whether or not a no-turn neck shoots as well as a tight neck. I suppose one would have to say, 'It depends.' Yes, it depends on the quality of the brass case and the design of the chamber...

Very Nice Chet Beautiful workmanship and good thinking.:) Me? I,m too lazy to make something like that . :rolleyes: I have a good system for chambering in the steady rest and it has worked well for me but I sure enjoy seeing new innovations such as yours. Thanks for sharing. :) Gene Beggs

Kyle, I don't know how long you have been shooting, what your level of experience is etc., but as a retired engineer you certainly have the qualifications to succeed at 100/200 yard group shooting if you have the patience and desire. It's a tough game and you will not reach the top in a year or...

Hey Jerry! I had forgotten the early 737 was nicknamed 'Fat Albert.' I came to have great respect for them.

No, don't do it. Squaring case heads with a lathe or wilson case trimmer is not only unnecessary but if overdone can even be detrimental or in an extreme case could even be dangerous by weakening the solid case head. I'll admit to being one who has tried it in my younger days but after thirty...

You're in my thoughts and prayers, Allie. Get well soon. Sincerely, Gene Beggs

Mike, I'm sorry but I didn't know you had them for sale. I'm sure if you recommend them they are top notch. I'll take a look at your web site. Gene Beggs

order the one from Sinclair and don't look back. Trust me on this. Gene Beggs

Jim, this is something I always wondered about myself with first the 6ppc and later with my own 6mmBeggs cartridge. I think it has something to do with the relatively small case capacities. The long range BR shooters report single digit extreme spreads with their typical 1000 yard rounds while...

Uncle B The road to where we are today with tuners has been a long one, but the journey was worth it. Most centerfire shooters became bored and discouraged with all the misinformation that circulated on the subject for years which has made it difficult to get anyone to listen to anything said...

Classic case of rifle going out of tune as atmospheric conditions (mainly temp) change. N-133 seems to be especially sensitive to it but when it's right it's awesome. The answer? Learn to keep the rifle in tune by changing the powder charge as temp increases. How much and which way? Expert...

Todd, I'm still here. No excuse for the delay in getting your probe back. If I accomplish nothing else today, I'll have it in the mail before quit'n time. Gene

Jay, your rail guns are in a class by themselves; they just keep getting better and better. The first one you built would qualify as perfect and you've added nice features since then. Keep building those beautiful works of art. Best regards, Gene Beggs

Boyd, Thanks for the kind words. Yep, my thirty year old Hall sporter is still my favorite rifle. When I sit down behind it I know I'm in the company of an old friend. It's true, I don't practice; at least not outdoors but I shoot and experiment a fair amount in the tunnel. Contrary to...

Back Home!

That should work. You don't use a neck sizing bushing at all. Sorry I haven't answered sooner but I'm leaving for Phoenix in a few hours and have been busy getting everything ready to go. If you have any problems we can get back to it next week. Later, Gene Beggs

When you tune entirely with the tuner, I believe you will find it is best to seat bullets completely off the lands. This more or less takes that variable out of the equation and eliminates any thought of changing seating depth. Best of luck to you in '18. Hope to see you in Phoenix. Gene Beggs

Hey Kolar 55, I'm impressed! I wondered if anyone noticed that I didn't finish that five match agg but you were right on top of it. Since temperature remained at 80 degrees for match 5, no adjustment to the tuner was necessary. I did not accompany my imaginary shooter to the line for match...
