My experience with 5R barrels is limited to Bartlein .308" and .264" 5R barrels, I have had no issues or difficulties with indicating or chambering them.

You asked Butch for anything you might read on the subject. I had no indication you had read the sticky I referenced or that you had been directed there before. That document contains a lot of good information. I see nothing wrong with directing someone to a sticky (that's why it's there). Maybe...

Have you read through the article referenced at the top of this sub forum? http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?95094-BIG-article-concerning-chambering http://houstontruetens.com/RUGER/chambering.pdf

They work just fine. Resolution is not awesome but it's clear enough to see anything you need to see. Copper, fire-cracking, erosion, etc... It wasn't hard to get used to feeding and rocking the rod around to see whatever you wanted to see. Someone post with pictures...

This has been around for awhile. Someones compilation of methods from the web: http://houstontruetens.com/RUGER/chambering.pdf

This has been going on for quite awhile. As Boyd noted it works only with IE. Look for the note on this page: http://saami.org/specifications_and_information/index.cfm?page=CC

I believe Gene Beggs did the steady rest write up you are referencing? http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?72314-Gene-beggs-on-chambering Butch's headstock and Spear's steady methods here: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/gunsmithing/barrel-chambering-my-way-232341/

He's referring to a 3/8" dovetail material. It's available from Brownells as part #080-770-375 http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/sights/sight-parts/front-sight-blanks/dovetail-sight-slot-blank-dovetail-slot-blanks-sku080-770-375-864-3270.aspx...

And if I'm not mistaken he doesn't clean primer pockets either.

He's asking about a MicroSight which is a Fresnel like design. Brownells and Sinclair still show them online, on sale and available. Creedmoor used to have them but I see they aren't listed anymore. You might search for "MicroSight and see what you can find...

Maybe because Lapua has been known to subcontract some brass out over the years? Substandard brass (substandard from the norm we expect out of Lapua) from Lapua subcontractors has been noted in the past and maybe the specs Lapua has for those cases isn't up to what they produce themselves. The...

I only mentioned it for the sake of history. Patent is long expired so anyone can manufacture them just as Badger is.

The type with an indicator was actually patented at one time. Badger ordinance sells a copy of the original Anderson gage. http://www.badgerordnance.com/media/bo_media/200-11.pdf (the patent number on Badgers data sheet is incorrect) The original and expired patent...

Greg Walley in the past has shown a method of using a bearing to measure cones but not in combination with the tenon tool. http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?86603-cutting-a-cone-for-a-Panda-action

Premier is no more. They were bought up by Tangent Theta somewhere around early 2013.

It's highly doubtful your chamber is .200" shorter than SAAMI. The base to body shoulder on a SAAMI 308 case is 1.5598" and there is no way your shoulder datum is shorter than that. The SAAMI base to datum is 1.634" -.007" and your Lapua brass should be in that window. Something is wrong with...

I see Wilbur has resurrected the old FAQ articles. Good ol Frank Murphy on the subject. http://www.benchrest.com/FAQ/2.1.shtml

For the type of rifle you have built a 10 twist will suit you just fine. Yes a 12 might have been more optimal for your choice of bullet weights but a 10 won't limit you or anybody else (if you sell it) from trying a heavier bullet. If you ever choose to get rid of it a 10 twist in 30 cal always...
