Actually had a friend of mine take a caribou with a .58 caliber Civil War musket and a pure lead minie ball. Seriously! About 150 yards if I recall. So, I wouldn't think you need anything over the top caliber wise.

Bob, The third action screw (middle actually) in a Quadlite is located 3.250 in front of the rear screw. The bolt hole that is recessed for a "lug" is located 4.937 in front of the rear screw. I don't know if these are the dimensions you're looking for or not, but there you go.

Paul, I'm not the expert on color casing, but I do know you can case harden metal with kasenite but you cannot color case with it. You have to use charcoal, bone charcoal and other ingredients to color case metal and there are all kinds of recipes for determining what colors turn out on the...

According to the directions that come with the action, the straight unthreaded section in the front of the action is used to locate the barrel in the center of the action. Turn a short straight section on the barrel with about .001 clearance to slip into this section when turning the barrel...

Butch, Is this something similar to the Barnard? Are you going to make the pin/groove relationship so that you can use it for the primary extraction or are you going to try and get that off a handle/frame cam? Blair

I use them in a 6mm-250AI at just over 3400fps and they do fine, very accurate. However, they aren't the best bullet for bucking the wind at 1,000 yards. I think the 115 is a better bullet for 1,000 yard use and I'll keep the 105s for use at 600 yards.

Clarence, The 150 has a 1 1/2 degree leade if I remember correctly. I measure overall length with a RCBS micrometer which is really to a spot on the ogive. But seems as though the OAL with the Bisley 150 is about .030 or .040 longer than the '95 Palma chamber. IIRC it's throated so that the...

I used to use a '95 Palma chamber in my Palma rifles before switching to the Bisley 150 chamber. I seated my 155 Sierras at 2.785 overall length to give me a .020 jump to the rifling.

The .338 Lapua Mag. has proven itself many times in the military as well as civilian matchs. Build one as an F-class rifle and have some fun at matches. A good Saturday of 60 rounds plus sighters and Sunday of 40 rounds plus sighters ought to cure any yearning you have for shooting a .338 at...

http://rifleshootingbynancy.com/ The above book was written by Nancy Tompkins who has been National highpower and long range champion. It contains excellent information on everything from position to wind reading to reloading and equipment. Everything you need to know!

I bought Rhino which is a 3d solid modeling system for under $1,000. It works well and you can export DXF files to any other system you may have. The CNC mill will probably come with some type of "canned" CAM program installed. Use this to learn the basics before you invest in higher priced CAM...

The Wolfs have a lot of fans in the long range prone game also. They seem to work well with Varget powder in the 308 cases.

You can also buy fine threaded socket head cap screws at your local hardware store if they have a well equipped bolt and nut section. Buy some just a little bit long and cut them off as needed.

I used one of the Enco boxes like clark shows for years to run a 2hp Chori Majestic mill and a 2hp Clausing lathe. When I bought a new Enco 14 X 40 lathe I had to switch to the rotary converter. So, to answer your question, I would think that the static converter will do what you want, but be...

PETER ACTION :eek: Pretty good one Greg. For sure people need to uderstand that there are much closer tolerances being machined than what is necessary to make a good action. I think that in over 100 years of making Mauser type actions companies and individuals have the tolerances and machining...

Neck down. When you neck a cartridge up it always stretches at the thinnest point making an eccentric neck even worse.

"RPA Quadlite which sadly is no longer available here and is a terrific prone action." Let me second that! I have a terrible hankering for a 300WSM and don't know what action I want to put it on yet. Maybe I should have a look at the Bat. I have a Remington action in the safe but my competitive...

I have only had the opportunity to use or work on the following action makes, Barnard, Stolle, Nesika, RPA, as well as most of the factory offerings. Top of the line custom actions in my opinion would be the Stolle and Barnard with the Nesika being a distant last. I shoot mid and long range only...

Nat, If it was D. Watson she is very professional and courteous. She's the one that nailed me for running a business against my sub-division covenants (although everything else was in fine shape) and smiled all the way through it :( Blair

Yes, you can use an oil to finish a laminated stock. The only drawback that I have found is getting the wood sanded clean enough to get a true oil finish. Usually I just coat with a polyurethane and forget about trying to get a real custom finish out of it. I think that all of the glue in the...
