The most common version was made by running a 222 reamer in .150 deeper than normal to the 1.850 length of the 222 mag. To make cases, put a .150 gauge block between the 222 FL die & the shell holder & push back the shoulders of 222 mag cases. The idea was to get the longer neck of the 222 with...

A 37 Rem for $175! You stole that one. Ron

I belong to a club that raffles of permission slips for deer & turkey hunting. I don't need one because I have a better spot to hunt, but I dropped in $10 for two tickets & won a slip. So I offered up the winning ticket to the the highest bidder. In the end, the club got my $10, the $50 the...

I made a fixture to hold the 60 degree angle and the clearance angle. All I have to do is run the fixture back & forth along the guide.

Here's how it was done in 1860. Here's how it was done in 1860. Didn't turn out well, did it. Ron

Skeet, Bruce Thom enlarged mine from PPC to BR and provided a new BR extractor for $75. Turn around time was very good. I put the PPC extractor back on so I could shoot the last match of the year & it worked perfectly with PPC. Over the winter, I'll get the 30BR barrel on mine. You can cut...

It's a #4 unrestricted action, 1.725" diam, 15 1/4" long, 8 lbs by Otteson's book. Regards, Ron

Looks like it could be a 1A heavy varmint action. What's the OD? Ron

My wife had cataract surgery a few yrs ago. The new lens fixed her near-sightedness and astigmatism so that now she only needs glasses for reading. She doesn't need them for driving, watching TV, etc. The surgery was one eye at a time, outpatient, go in the morning, out that afternoon. A month...

No problem, Mike. Just trying to keep the economy going. I love spending "other peoples money"! If you think this is expensive, those crazy trap shooters will spend $10K on a new gun and then want it restocked! Ron

Mike, While you're deciding on which stock & waiting for it to be delivered, why don't you just try a PPC barrel on your current BAT? I think it's the lower recoil that makes a biggest difference. Years ago I remember trying a full 308 Win HV (friends rifle) that was a real beast to shoot. Ron

"30BR brass necks keep getting loose" Have you annealed your case necks? If you didn't, they start out hard (springy) and only get more so. When they are too hard, you will get less neck tension. Regards, Ron

Dick, Rather than using a 1/2 case full of powder, the charge is just 8.5 gr and you may be able to cut that back a couple of grains. The meal is there to hold the powder back and provide the pressure to blow out the necks. Whether the corn meal just reduces the volume, or some of it burns, I...

I just got through forming 100 cases by the corn meal method (see reply #10). I set up 2 measures - one for 8.5 gr universal clays (similar to Unique) - the other for the corn meal dumped through a funnel, & plugged the neck with a wad of Kleenex. Worked great, didn't loose a single case, & the...

It's hard to get the walker jib to work close to the end of the barrel since one locating pin will be off the end of the barrel. Also the walker type jig is good on ribs that have no taper, but they won't center perfectly on tapered ribs. For either of these situations, I turn up a cylinder of...

"because I don't have the permit to acquire yet. In fact I won't obtain it until the rifle is almost complete. The permit will only last 3 months." Andy, Don't have the permit & it lasts only 3 months? Where are you? Regards, Ron

Picture of a line up of the usual suspects: I got a sample of them from Carrol at the NRA convention. These are long and need a fast twist to stabilize - longer than the 135 gr MatchKing, flat base, looks like a final point up operation to make a very small HP. I'm going to try some in 17" and...

Put me down, Mike, if you have not already done so. Regards, Ron

Drawing shooters from 6 states for this shoot is a reflection of the great work you & your father have done in getting BR matches started in CT. Regards, Ron

+1 for the sanded in TruOil.
