Actualy Jerry thats not realy correct and is a bit of an old wifes tale. The chamber pressure is applied to the rear inside face of the brass case. The soft brass case is no match for 60,000 PSI and will stretch easily, so 99% of the load will be transfered to the bolt head regardless of how...

Are you sure? Seeing his comments on some other forums of late i could be fooled into thinking the "a." stood for something else entirely... ;) Leeroy

You just can't help your self can you JR..:rolleyes: Leeroy

Actualy it works, and it probably works better than most rotary phase converters! You are dead right about the programmable ramp down and back up, but that is only part of the story. Most modern VFD's offer dynamic braking and can be equiped with a suitable brake resistor. Once they are set up...

I designed and built my own action and i incorporated a drop port into the bottom of the receiver. Initialy it was sized for the little BR case but as the rifle took shape i changed my mind and lengthened the port to take a longer case. Right now it'll drop the 284 Shehane cases i'm shooting...

Thanks for the replys guys.. I will look into this a little further and see what i can do with it.. Cheers Leeroy

G'day Folks.. I know this is a BR forum but i've been having an issing with a rem 700 Hunting rifle. It's been chambered in 223 rem and i have been having the usual problem of dented case mouths from the Rem ejector causing the case to cant over on extraction and smack into the receiver wall...

Why stainless in the first place? With all this talk of barrel threads and bolt lugs galling one realy has to wonder why manufactures persist in making receivers from stainless in the first place. Yes they do look nice and shiny and do offer some (limited) corosion protection but given the...

Yes mate that is how i did it. I didn't trust the local heat treat shop to do it without distortion so i machined it after heat treatment. Ok for one or two but far too hard on the tooling for production.. It's been great. On to the second bbl now. Moving up from the 6.5x47L to a 7mm...

I built my action from EN26. I'm not sure what the SAE equiviliant is, but according to my steel supplier (bohler) it's stronger and tougher (for a given hardness) than 4340. By all accounts it does the job perfectly and acording to my calculations has a 600% safety factor. See it here...

Yep your right Butch, about the possibility of the tail stock barrel being out of alignment when extended. But with my lathe i have found it to be very accurate and if i just put a little pressure on with the barrell lock it stays within about 0.0005" all the way to full extention. I usualy set...

Is it realy required? I realise in this BR game we should always strive for perfection but i've never really been able to understand the need for a floating reamer holder. I've chambered up about a dozen bbl's now, non of them have any runout or are out of round, none of them have any chatter...

Oh man you blokes have it good... :) Out here in OZ we pay well over AU$1000 for a remo SPS.. The shiny blued and jewled bolt verson is arround AU$1600..:mad: Cheers Leeroy

G'day all. I've got about 150 used 6.5x47 Lapua cases with over sized primer pockets that i would like to put back into service. I've done a bit of reading on pocket swageing and have come to the conclusion that it's realy not a viable method. But i then wondered of i couldn't ream them out...

Lookls good mate.. Judging by the light chatter in the flutes, i think a shorter tool length might be in order? Cheers Leeroy

Thanks mate that is just what i was looking for!! :-) Any others? Cheers Leeroy

G'day guys.. I've tried to contact PT&G via e-mail a a few times over the last couple of weeks but they don't seem to be responding to my requests so i thouight i would ask a few questions here before i give them a call.. As the title says i'm looking at ordering a 223 remington reamer. Can...

G'day gentlemen I am rebarrleing my 1k BR rifle from a 6.5x47 Lap to a 284 Shehane and was thinking about adding a muzzel brake. Out here in OZ brakes a pretty rare (at least in our club) and i'm wondering are they very common in US 1K BR? I am worried about the brake effecting the pure...

G'day all I have just finished blueprinting an old rem 700 action for a .223 hunting rifle i'm building.. On all of my customised 700's i've always jewled the bolt and it has made it super slick to cycle the bolt. I'm planing to cerakote the entire barreled action and i don't think that jewling...
