What about this one? Jerry Sherrett said that any of them made 2010 and on are the latest lot. I believe that or I did until curiousity took over and I checked the last one pounder I have. 2015 without the "BR" or"XMR". Just plain vanilla. The stamper missed the silver strip by a bit but lot is...

I thought the non real name user names were playful at heart. When I joined this forum lots of members had "stage names" and I thought it just added a little personality to it. I don't see where anyone has been hidding behind it. I usually sign my whole name at end of post and always at least my...

xterminator X-term does shoot and will shoot below freezing. In my experience switch to rem 7 1/2 and you will get it all back. Don't even worry about switching back to 205's. Not necessary. Working up in a 22-100 while back I found three nodes. I put on a1-15" barrel and the pressure at top...

I'm looking for a company that will properly harden a FL die made with my resize reamer in a reasonable time frame. Cost is less of a concern as I can't see it ranging too widely. Please at least one name. Thank you thank you! Tim

I think I was on the fence I was not sure about this argument (discussion) until the muzzle break analogy was made. Very convincing. There just doesn't seem to be enough contact time for the heat to absorb into the steel. I'm certified welder fwiw

I was reading a story in the "Benchrest Primer" written by Chet Brown. He says he devoloped the first fiberglass stock he knew of. Told Lee Six about it while on vacation with family to Disney World. Six moved to where Brown lived and started Brown Precision. 6-8 years later Brown retired from...

Boyd, you don't know what a wholeness trigger is? Me either. I type this on a kindle "fire" and it has thar word recognition crap. It changed Shilen to wholeness because they are so close. So, I also have an old Hart two oz that I could put on it for a little more authentic feel. I thought...

Ya George I realize it is not a museum piece. I considered sleeeving a Remington but decided that I didn't want an old gun but rather one that just looked like it. Plus, I believe that once I get cases made from 223 Lapua brass that the chambering will have a chance at showing what it can do...

Hello. I have begun an old style benchrest rifle build and am now stuck on the stock. When I say old school I mean like 70's-80's. I must first say that I'm only 34 so I definetly was not "there". First I had a set of 222 1/2 reamers ground. Next I ordered a Lilias 1-14" barrel. This week I got...

Maybe??? Experience on my part has not shown this phenomenon. Logic wise it makes a lot of sense. Now there is the matter of whether or not words were put in this ballistitions mouth. I think considering that all this guy does is burn powder in every possible senario all day every day in a...

Thanks guys! Despite having only received two testimonials both were positive. I have decided to try the Shilen comp trigger. I love my Jewel no doubt. I have a older Hart trigger that feels more steel on steel. Little heavier too. I will report back on the Shilen. Tim

Hi. Looking for some opinions on this trigger. I'm slowly putting together a "throwback" style BR rifle chambered in 222 1/2 and want to use companies or at least styles of couple decades ago. I see that the trigger adjusts down to 2 OZ but is it temperamental on the outer ends of it's...

How about a boattail? Lester Bruno makes a .22 cal boattail that is called a 52gr, weights more like 51.6-51.7gr and is first class. I don't know how your reamer set up but there isn't much bearing surface to grab onto though. Check it out. tim

This is the same Williams that is selling the bullets in the reloading section of classifieds. He is 80 years old and does not "do" computers. You must call him. I bought some bullets from him and the deal went really smooth and he was fun to B.S. with on the phone. I have his number you need...

Ooops Well I don't know what the intended outcome of the original post was but I must admit to trying to obtain some of this powder. I wish I could read the thread one more time but I mistook it as the powder being on shelves for a year. Sorry. I never wanted to get anyone in trouble. Tim

Skeet, I'm a pipefitter here in Alaska and deal with that B.S. also tying into mains. This is ducile iron correct. HDPE shouldn't fail this early in product life cycle?? I once had my apprentice "go shut off the main" while I drilled through an 8" ducitle main with 2 1/2" hole saw to tie-in a 2"...

10-4 on that Mike. I just took a look in Huntington's catalog and form dies for the two versions are the same price. Form difficulty must be approx equal as well. Any opinions on the Lapua Palma brass? I bet its awesome. Anyway the Mark I version will be my choice. I first got interested...

I'm not sure if this is the proper subforum or not but many knowlageable shooters frequent this one. Which of these two are better? I have been sittng on 200 pc UBR Remington 308 cases and a lilja 3groove 14" twist barrel and I'm finally ready to move. I always wanted a 1-16" but thats anouther...

It's unfortunate that you can't negotiate with seller on auction type classifieds. Having said that I don't believe the sellers price is out of line so long as you are buying them to proudly own them. In other words not solely as an investment. This is based on three years of hem and hawing over...

Since dk hunt 14 just mentioned it I might as well admit it. Same thing happened to me recently while testing WC 872 in a 6.5 STW with 140 gr A-MAX. Worked up to 89grs for pressure then dropped back to 85gr and started over with different seating depth, then the bolt froze three times in a row...
