    How did they make barrels

    Al, I also have a VHS of it given to me by the welding instructor who taught night classes at the local JC back in the 80's. He was a former Marine and certified gun nut so we hit it off quite well. He taught me how to TIG and I took care of him on a few things, so he let me come in and use the...

    Thank goodness they don't make them like the used to......

    You don't need Loctite just that 1200lb industrial grade gorilla to tighten em up. I would be curious to see how far out the action threads are and if perhaps they have a taper towards the lugs. I have seen them all over the map from damn near as square as a custom to so far out you didn't even...

    Does barrel straightness effect accuracy.

    Only if no one is there to see it.

    Does it make a difference?

    "I think I do a lot of things because I am scared not to do them." Jackie that probably sums it up better then anything. I do all my own (and a select few others) barrel work mainly because I don't trust anyone else to do it. I don't know if it's because I'm a control freak or not but I like...

    Does it make a difference?

    I am starting this thread because the title question is almost always asked in threads about almost every aspect of our sport. I am talking about things like case sorting, primer pocket uniforming, annealing, weighing powder, how accurate is your scale, bullet sorting, ogive measuring, special...

    Annealing made perfect aztec sort

    I too own an Entris IS64 (+/-.002 grn) and it is a wonderful scale for the price. You really know your over the deep end when you are dropping (or removing) 1 kernel of LT32 (avg weight .0056 grn on Lot 10) when loading your PPC. Then again I know a VERY successful Hi Power/F-Class shooter who...

    Bedding and floating a Interarms Mark x ?

    I use an old cloths iron set on high when i want to get a glue-in apart. Lay it on the action until the epoxy gets soft and pry er on out. Only time it hasn't worked is when I ran into a glue in that they had used JB Weld. That took a little more work! Greg

    Annealing made perfect aztec sort

    Funny you should mention weighing charges Pete. I was forced into preloading when I started the SR BR matches at Sac Valley back in 2002. I found out early on that you can't run a match, measure targets, babysit the complainers,etc,etc, and load at the match. Having always pre loaded for...

    Annealing made perfect aztec sort

    I purchased one of these @ 1 1/2 years ago mainly for my LR shooting 6BR,6.5/284 etc. I now use it on all my cases including my 6PPC & 30 BR SR cases. As to shooting any better at short range with the cases annealed that I can't answer definitively, but I can tell you that my seating pressure is...

    Neck Tension?

    Re: Neck tension As some others have already mentioned, neck tension is a measurement of force ie: how much force does it take to release the bullet from the case. The relative smoothness on the inside of the case also effects the release, you can really see this when you seat bullets and are...

    Feedback From The Tunnel

    First time tuner impressions I started reading Gene's thread a few weeks back (big mistake) and it peaked my interest. So I decide to thread my new HV barrel that I already had chucked up in the lathe waiting to be crowned for one of Mike's tuners. Right before the Cactus... (I like trying new...
