    Warner Tool

    Whacheon Lathe Butch and Hal: thanks for the fast replies. I remember reading Mike Bryant's post about the modifications to his Kent. I believe he drilled and tapped the spindle to make a spider. Since the Whacheon is a much larger machine (18X60) with a much longer spindle, I don't think that...

    Warner Tool

    Whacheon Lathe I have been using a Whacheon lathe like the one Butch Lambert referenced for the last couple of months. Very smooth solid machine. The owner says it is very reliable and seldom gives problems. Understand it is a Mori Seki clone made in South Korea. Parts interchange with a Mori...

    Best way to size 6.5x47 Lapua down to 6x47L? And what S bushing sizes have you used?

    6X47L Case Forming It IS confusing until you actually try it. One way to quickly help visualize is to stand a .243 case and a 6.5X47L case side by side on a flat surface where you can look at them closely. First you'll notice the .243 is quite a bit longer in every dimension. If you sight...

    Best way to size 6.5x47 Lapua down to 6x47L? And what S bushing sizes have you used?

    6X47L Case Forming VaniB: A couple of comments. I have several Redding die sets, FL, neck and bushing, and like them a lot. I bought the Forester on the advice of a poster on another forum, and like it a lot also, and it was cheaper. Is it better than a Redding FL die? I don't know, probably...

    Best way to size 6.5x47 Lapua down to 6x47L? And what S bushing sizes have you used?

    Forming 6X47L I used Redding body and bushing dies to form 6X47L cases, until I got a 6X47L Forester FL die set with Ultra Seater from Sinclair. Now one pass through the FL die forms a perfect case every time. Quick and easy. In fact I seldom use the bushing dies to load formed cases any more...

    Anybody tried one yet?

    .22X47 Lapua I'm in the process of putting a .22X47 Lapua together. I'm in contact with PTG on a no-turn reamer and plan to head over to Bruno's this afternoon to pickup a barrel. I was able to cobble together a dummy round using my 6X47L and .22BR dies. Don't know if this will be a...

    Info. on 6 X 47 Lapua

    Lapua Brass I have absolutely no issue with Al's statements about Lapua brass being the toughest and best commonly available to reloaders. As reloaders we control the working pressures of our ammo. What does the manufacturer recommend in the way of pressures? The preface to the Lapua load data...

    New Custom Rifle

    6X47 Lapua I'm shooting 95gr MK's in my 6X47 Lapua with 26" 1/10 twist PacNor barrel. Accuracy is very good with N550. One ragged hole 5 shot groups @ 100yds. Got 3295fps with 40gr N550 and F205M primers. This is too hot for my Savage target action rifle. I'll need to back down to about 39gr or...

    6mmBR options????

    L Walther Savage Barrel Remember, the Savage target action uses the large barrel shank. Several months ago I inquired about a Walther barrel for my Savage and was told that the large barrel shank would be a "special" at a several hundred dollar premium over the small shank prefit barrel. This...

    PTG Remington 40x/700 Bolt Body to Accept Savage Bolt Head

    Remington/Savage Bolt Head Conversions Some time ago, last year I think, I traded emails with "Spook" over on the Savageshooters.com website about this conversion. He had posted several photos of converted bolts. He had done several and said he had developed the necessary tooling and worked the...
