BTW... Illinois just started a rifle season for whitetail in 2022. This would be the first time the state has allowed rifle for hunting anything larger than coyote. Here's the catch; the rifle cartridge must meet the following criteria: •The cartridge used shall be a minimum of .30 caliber •A...

How close does the case need to be to obtain a suitable fore-form? If I can get the case to fit the chamber but the shoulder has large difference from the chamber, is there anything that can happen which I should want to avoid?

If you guys are looking for a way to host photos, download the Imgur app or use their website. It's almost as quick as old fashioned free photo hosting sites. After I upload and submit images, you'll get a page with the photos. I click the photo on the page, and copy the link directly to the...

Just out of curiosity, did the form die against the case spin with it? Because I would not think spinning the brass against something static would be very good at preserving the case surface; would think it would get all galled up. So far I'm still fairly impressed with this method. I mean...

Back again guys, this time hopefully with something useful that I can add to the discussion. I was about to start turning a set of dies in order to keep moving forward with this project (which has a completion goal of being a chambered, complete rifle by October '23), and I thought about...

Greetings fellow shooters, I am building a new wildcat cartridge based on the needs of a local set of hunting restrictions that apply to me. In other words, it is out of necessity that I build the cartridge, and therefore the cartridge design is something which is maybe a bit of an oddball by...

I am building a shooting bench top which is concrete and had a few questions. Basically it is a double joined T for 2 shooters. It is using a 4x8' sheet of plywood for the pour mold base. 2X4s will be framed on top of the plywood. So the concrete will be poured as thick as a 2x4 and mould...

Hi TRA, Is there a mechanical design software out there that you would recommend?

Thanks a lot for suggestions. I started modeling the part using the IPT part file in Inventor. This looks fairly straightforward. It was what file type the Autodesk tech on Youtube was showing he likes to use for most simple parts in the tutorial vid series. I almost have the part model done. I...

I have a part which I need produced in bulk quantity. I machined the prototype and now my next step I believe is submitting a design file to some CNC shops to get a quote on the parts run. The part has a very simple design, basically a rectangular cube with slanted sides, and four large holes...

Butch, This is what I am curious about since you are doing it. I am wondering what you do with the new brass that is unturned in order to fireform it. Does the brass fit the chamber new, or do you have to do something like use a neck bushing to size the brass so that it fits the chamber the...

I am having a new reamer made for a tight-neck. So I will turn them down, then fireform in my tight chamber instead. OK, gotcha. I wish I could find a mentor. My problem is I don't get out much to meet people. I walk out the door to my 500 yard range in the front yard. So I pretty much work...

Okay. My logic is unclear then. I have not made a wildcat before. I thought that I would place the brass into the tight neck chamber, and the brass would be neck sized to fit the chamber, but not using a seated bullet. Just using fast powder and bees wax. After I blew the shoulder out, I...

Sorry, the round I am working with is actually a wildcat on the 30 Rem AR case. It is a higher pressure round than the 308 Win.

This is the one I have been using: http://cgi.ebay.com/160-WATT-2-5-LITERS-DIGITAL-ULTRASONIC-CLEANER-HEATER-/310297789170?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483f3082f2 I paid $100 for mine. It does a good job for rifle cases. It doesn't work on stuff heavily caked. Just lightly dirty cases. But...

I would like to get an idea of when you feel the best time to neck turn is. Should you always neck turn after the fireforming? That is what I have mostly read, but I noticed a few people mention that they do it before fireforming. So I'm trying to get an idea about when it is necessary to neck...

Mark, you sound just like me. I thought I was quite the expert in ballistics, until I started reading here. Then I realized that I just should not talk anymore to save myself the embarrassment. This place is honestly what I feel to be the greatest place to read on the net, based on my shooting...

A bullet nosing over would be dependant upon aerodynamic center of pressure, center of gravity of the projectile, and gyroscopic stabilization which fights axis movement. Without gravity you would have no axis movement in a neutral atmospheric condition until spin ran out, since forces would be...

I found a very interesting article. Check out this link, scroll down to "Stan's Short-Necked Wolfpup". http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2010/08/ No more questions on the neck. :) I am blowing those shoulders forward!
