What does this have to do with gunsmithing?

TRA good observation. If you are going to ream ream a die conical runout is another concern. If you have any ideas on how to deal with it I would be interested.

Twelve pack of Becks, I'm gong to keep you in mind for machine repairs you work cheap. Have a good one Gary.

Gary I agree with everything you said for a high dollar high precision lathe. I have one of these lathes and find it to be good piece of equipment for a weekend hobbiest. This is a machine built in China, most likely goes through a chines trading company, landed in the USA, goes through a...

.0005" TIR run out on the lead screw? Do you have too many zeros I can't believe a lead screw in a Chines lathe is going to be that straight.

Thanks guys I think Dennis has it nailed as a MasburnBee. Every measurement of the chamber casting is within one or two thousands of the specs for the MasvurnBee. The Ackley Bee has a longer neck and is a lot longer overall. Thanks again Dave

I have an Interarms Mark X action that has the same problem. It has given me fits in a deer blind several times. For some reason the ejector won't slip over the rim.

Try a piece of paper between the bag and stock works great.

Great Post Steve great post! I'm not sure I understand everything about core seating. Do any other bullet makers want to explain their method? Dave

The problem is it is way to pretty to use. Beautiful work

It was a cool 75 degrees in Los Angeles today, but at least it was sunny.

If you are going to use a Remington bolt the hole is going to be about .703” in diameter. It is going to be difficult to bore a hole that diameter 8 inches deep and hold any size or finish. When it goes to heat treat, also known as the bend and warp department, you are going to end up with...

How much clearance do you have on the case necks?

I put them in a pan full of water with an few drops of dish washing detergent and boil them on the stove for a few minuets. The detergent will cut the oil and they come out squeaky clean.

The sear engagement and the pull force screws are .050". The overtravel screw is 1/16".
