DNAL, yes the whole house including the basement is controlled by a forced air heating/cooling system. The basement stays between 68 and 72. in the last few days I have re-charged the silica in one safe and the inside humidity dropped to 25% (from 30% outside). the forced air systems in the...

I have recently moved to a newer home. My gun room is in the basement. Being located in Western Colorado we don't typically have a corrosion problem. In my new gun room I have noticed some surface rust on my Wilson case holders (haven't been oiled yet). So I purchased the Golden Rod humidity...

I just recieved some HBN and was thinking of "other" ways to use it. I have a 7mm RSAUMLN wildcat that requires me to remove quite a bit of neck material. I have not had very good results from neck turning (+/- .001"). I have noticed that when I got in a hurry (to get to a match) i gaulded the...

alinwa, thanks for your thought. I hate clicking, that is usually when I throw brass away?! This rifle build is with a BAT MB action set in an ST1000 stock and 28" barrel. Primary use of 600 yd br. using a berger 105? Will running the reamer in deeper solve the clicking problem? Thanks again...

My gunsmith is currently chambering a new rifle for me. It is a 6br using his reamer w/.269 neck. He told me that it is a little on the "tight" side, meaning I will have to full length size & neck turn all of my brass to get it to chamber. The neck turning part is what I wanted, but the tight...

Stonewall, to answer your question, Dakota Arms still holds the rights to the PPC cartridge. someone ought to call them and ask why not make 6PPC brass? The answer will not be because they are getting rich from royalty rights from Norma.

Butch, you are spot on for the Dakot/Kokesh update. The question is: Does Remington have the rights to the PPC brass? IF so, what are there intentions?

I own several guns with a Vais brake installed: two 7mm RSAUMS and one 300 Win Mag. They definately reduce recoil (how much exactly, I don't know, but enough I enjoy shooting them with a brake and not really without). two of the three afore mentioned guns are lightweight hunting guns and one...

Badazl, did you try going back to BAT? I have several BAT actions, most of them work great (both the short model S and the longer model M & MB), none have been modified after the factory. I did have some extraction issues with my M, BAT jumped right on it and gave me more clearance under the...

the effect of a gene davis optical booster (3X) on a 25X scope would make it effectively a 32 power give or take a bit. congrats on getting that new gun out. I will hopefully have my new gun out for the next shoot. Good Luck!

thanks for the replies. Maybe i'll just have to wait for my resize reamer to show up. I did speak with Joel Kendrick. Very nice guy, i'll probably send my re-size reamed dies to him. I have learned many things during this minor wildcat process, one of them being, order the resize reamer at the...

I spoke with Troy, he told me to call Fireball. Troy didn't know of any other plating companies to try. Troy is a very nice guy, seems to be quite knowledgable.

I have created a somewhat wildcat based on the 300 wsm (norma) brass. I need to build sizing dies to make it work. Ordered a re-sizing reamer, but have not seen it yet. In the mean time I was toying around with the idea of using the chamber reamer and having the ID of the die plated (.0015")...

Boyd, I sent three cases that were formed with the dies I wanted to use when I ordered the reamer (unfortunately i could not chamber them without the reamer). i don't know how to do it differantly when starting from scratch.

Boyd, there is a couple thousands clearance under the extractor. Though I have noticed that the front of the cone has very little clearance to the base of the case.? I don't konw, still thinking i need to send to BAT. What i'm afraid of is that it is a problem with my brass or chambering. I...

Now than I am home and inspecting my brass, two of the three that i marked as not extracting have cratered primers.?

He believes it to be something not right with the extractor also. But hard to tell. A shell that must be pushed out with a rod is very tight and held well by inserting into the end of the bolt while out of the action. I haven't called BAT yet, i'm sure they will have a solution. Their...

Hi guys, well i finally got to shoot my new 1,000 yrd gun today (been 6 months in the build). It shot resonably well other than overy once in a while after shooting i would pull the bolt back and...no empty case. I can cycle the bolt back and forth several times, sometimes felt a little stiff...

Thanks for the clarification. I was also told by the same gentleman, that adding lead to the back of the stock to help with gun balance is ok (as long as the lead cannot move, IE: epoxy in). So my question now is "lead in the stock" is legal? Thanks,

Joe, are you saying that PA 1,000 yard rule is a state rule and not IBS or NBRSA? Thanks for your input. I mainly shoot in the west IE: CO, UT, AZ, NM, WY, etc.
