bdotson; Not to argue but it is not uncommon, I have 2 chambers that do the same thing, @ 34 grains it is compressed, I can get 34.4 max and no more in the case. I use my own 118gr/ 1 inch jacket bullets, H 4198 powder, Lapua cases with a .330 neck, .324 neck bushing and the chamber is Robinette...

Dick; That is wonderful news about ICSC; I look forward to the mid-Michigan shoots, especially Harrison. I may just have to dig out the old 22 so I can come and play. Rick

Amen!

Chuck; might want to check this out...(http://www.charm.net/~kmarsh/whiting.html) Rick

Wish I could make it but I am in Estes Park Colorado, good luck to all ya and have fun. Rick

There are good used American made machines to be had, you just have to look and be ready to jump when you find them. I being fussy looked for a long time to find just what I wanted and for $800 as it sits, I thought it was a bargain, it also came with 14 new collets, new set of mills and drill...

Yup Jerry, it looks a little rough, I agree with that but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad machine. I worked with machines for 30+ years that had War Machine name plates on them, run them, repaired them, set them up and they looked rough but they were some of the best and most reliable...

There are 3 SB 13" lathes at Vander Ziel Machinery,(Michigan) see the link below..They are a whole lot less in price. $1750 http://www.vanderzielmachinery.com/index1.php?cPath=31 Rick

This is nothing fancy, a piece of conduit with lead pored around a threaded insert then attached by a 10-32 screw to the butt plate. I have used lead shot mixed with modeling clay in a zip-loc plastic bag, pack inside of the butt stock then use Styrofoam to wedge in place; this is for non...

Francis, Yes, I will be at the IBS Nationals; I have already so to speak registered, just not sure whether I will shoot in the Hunter class yet. If they change the wedding for some reason I have informed them to bring me a video of it. Mike, Thanks, we made our last tuition payment the first...

Well due to scheduling I find out that no matter how many events are on May 8th , I won’t be there and possibly one to two others. On that day I get to see just what a Hundred Grand and 5 years have accomplished for the last born. I have also found out that someone didn’t check my Match...

Bullet making is a laborious, boring, mindless job……….If I hadn’t jumped into making my own some 10-12 years ago for the simple reason of cost, I would never have done it. It seams that when you make your own that you get requests from everyone asking can I try some of your bullets? For those...

If you can adapt this universal chuck you will never go back to the other ones. It doesn’t solve the wobble problem associated with others but it is by far easier to use and not caliber specific. It is in Midway’s catalog...

Do you have brass other than Norma, seems that I read that Norma is somewhat soft and don’t like high pressures. In the past I have run across a 7 Mag. and a .243 Win. with similar problems, one ended up changing the brass and the other was long necks, but then they were factory chambers...

Your necks aren’t too long for the chamber????

I found the same thing on my new Coyote and what I was able to find out they changed the threads because there was chamber issues with the new short magnums. Apparently they had egg shaped chambers and there wasn’t enough support in the one inch tendon for those calibers. Also the larger fine...

Ok, the pic of the French Walnut stock has a repair that I made after screwing up the pillar bedding job, glued the darn thing in and took a big chunk out of it, can ya tell what’s grain, Pantone Marker, and repair, it’s all there. It is very evident to me and taking a pic this close shows it...

It depends just what you want to accomplish, hide the bedding as much as possible or make it a show piece. If you want to hide it you can try Pantone Markers, or Prismacolor Markers. The colors are endless and should be no problem finding something to match the stock color then recoat with stock...

With these tools I have so far not had a problem removing factory barrels. As Jackie stated wrap the barrel with a piece of note paper and if for insurance some powdered rosin and it shouldn’t slip. The oak blocks were cut slightly under a Remington Varmint barrel contour, and one other set is...

I have not posted on this section before but the M-70 is my favorite, I consider it to be one of the best switch barrel actions out there. Ok, I know I will get a lot of flack for that statement but it is of my opinion and have 3 of them. The original factory Winchester barrels of past years...
