Harrells AR-15 Tuner I built an AR-15 last Fall with a .204R 20" threaded Lilja barrel. I initially tried to find an unported tuner with the proper threads, but after a short internet search was unable to do so. I settled on the Harrells tuner/brake with the side ports. My first test shots were...

Britt Britt often attracted a gallery of spectators when he shot trap. He was indeed a very fast shooter. A group of us were watching Britt in a shoot off one evening and a shooting buddy remarked "He never shoots an angle target! He breaks 'em so quick they never have a chance to become...

6X47L Loads My 6X47L on a Savage Target Action with 26" PacNor 10 Twist barrel likes N550 and RL17 with 70-95 gr bullets. I listed load and velocity in a thread on the Accurate Shooter website forum several years ago...

CZ 455 Rings There is a 'Sticky" on the http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/index.php website in the "Cz/Brno" section that pretty well covers the CZ rimfire scope mounting options. I ended up with Burris Signature Zee rings with J & P adapters on mine. Vic

BB Chevy Yep, know about the fuel mileage running a big Holley on a BB Chevy from personal experience! A shooting buddy, who ran a fleet of Chevy trucks for a time in the 1970's once told me, "If GM hadn't invented the BB Chevy engine we never would have had the first energy crisis"! Vic

Dasher Die Sorry Lee. This thread got waaaay OT. Did you decide on dies? Vic

Whidden Dies Al, you made my day! Thanks. Now let me make yours! I sent an email to Whidden Gunworks requesting information on the hardness of their sizing dies. An unhardened sizing die would be of questionable durability at best. Here is the answer I received this morning: On Aug 25, 2014...

Whidden Dies Received the Whidden FL size die yesterday. Very nice piece. Haven't used it yet, but looks as good as reported. http://www.accurateshooter.com/gear-reviews/whidden-gunworks-sizing-dies-and-micrometer-seaters/ Similar to Redding bushing dies with additional feature. Uses Redding...

FL Size Die Whidden Gunworks says their FL size dies are a good fit for PT&G chamber reamers. I just ordered a 6X47 Lapua die from them, so we'll see. Vic

Cutting Cases "Glad you could make it work Vic. I've never been able to get that to work. And I've tried. Dang thing always wants to walk downhill and I end up with threads instead of rings. Heck I've cut threads on straight tubing before. Wish I knew what trick you used." No trick. Probably...

Shortening Cases Although a chop saw would be much faster, I didn't have one, so not knowing a tubing cutter wouldn't work I used one to cut off several hundred cases with no problem. Just clean straight cuts with a slight crimp on the inside. Sure am glad that I didn't know it wouldn't work...

Agree 100% with goodgrouper. XBR and Varget are too fast to give the best results in the .22/250 AI. Over the years I have mostly shot H414/W760 in the .22/250 AI. Great accuracy, velocity and ease of metering through a powder measure. AA2700, a very similar powder to H414, also performed very...

The previous posts all gave excellent reasons for lack of participation in traditional shooting sports. However, don't overlook the influence that TV viewing has on our everyday lives. It seems that these days looking good on TV is far more important than real world performance. This applies to...

About 20 years ago I bought 500 PMC .22/250 Rem cases to test, mainly because they were reputed to be very consistent in weight. I weighed several samples and they were very consistent. Don't remember the exact numbers anymore, but they were much better than Winchester brass of that era. Also...

The bad news: It's 102F already at 11:30 am headed for a forecast high around 110F. The good news: We got over 5" of rain out here at the farm in the latter half of July. The unfortunate folks in town 6 miles away got less than an inch. Vic

I bought a Clymer reamer in the mid-1980's that is marked ".244 Ackley Improved". According to Ackley's book he referred to this chambering as a ".244" and not as a "6mm" as we do today. So far as brass, loads, etc. you need to verify the chambering you have. There were several different...

I must have misunderstood the question. I thought the first post was asking specifically for PD loads, not deer loads. Are you recommending using deer loads for PD's? I have shot a fair number of PD's with "deer loads" mostly to use up odd lots of ammo or bullets. However, I was never very...

6MM PD Loads A couple of loads that I have used for extensively for PD (Not deer, how the heck did deer loads sneak into this thread?) have been the 70 gr Sierra MK with H380 and the 80 gr Blitz or 85 gr BTHP with H414 (WW 760). The 70 gr Sierra with H380 has been the most accurate load we've...

I have the same set of Forester dies as nhk. Just run the 6.5 L case through the FL sizer and it is ready to load. My FL size die fits my chamber so well I never bothered to get a bushing die. Good shooting! Vic

Kiff Bolt There are a few things about using a Kiff bolt that you may or may not be aware of. Kiff bolts are made with extra metal at the rear of the lug so they can be fitted to the action. This will require some precision machining to fit properly. You will also need to have a bolt handle...
