    I want to raise my lathe 3-4 inches

    Thanks for all I'd like to thank everyone for the info. I've decided to go with an H shaped pad for foot clearance. I've got a blank canvas at the moment, but I'm very close to getting a permit to start this project. Thanks Jackie for the size 13 foot clearance recommendation. I hadn't thought...

    I want to raise my lathe 3-4 inches

    I'm 6"2' and I find myself constantly stooped over when doing work on my lathe. I'm getting ready to build a new shop. Can I pour an extra 3-4 inch thick area where I'm going to put my lathe. Will that be enough to support it? It's a Matthews 13X40 GT so not a lot of weight. It's around 1350...

    WSM Reamer Design

    210 in WSM I know quite a few shooters who do shoot the 210's in the WSM. I personally don't know anyone shooting the 230's in a WSM, but I'm sure there are some. I shoot the 230's in my 308 Baer heavy gun which is a larger case similar to a 300 Ackley. I have a light gun in 308 Baer with 11...

    Where to mount scope rails on barrel blocked gun?

    Scope mount for barrel block Max, I like Joe have seen the mounts done both ways over the years. I have several barrel blocked guns and all of my scopes are mounted on the action. One is a light gun(in 308 Baer), and the others are all heavy guns. I would think the cantilever off of the block...

On line chat with rep. Rep. stated that now that they were in my state they were charging sales tax on web orders. 3.5...

    couple of questions for the seasoned benchrest reloaders

    Nosler#7 manual In the Nosler#7 manual 88 grains of RL-25 is max. The variance between lot numbers with RL-25 can be as much as 10%. Back your load off. I would also make sure you have at least .0003-.0004 loaded clearance on that .317 neck. I shoot a 7 ultra with 90 grains of Retumbo and 160...

    New 300 ackley

    RL-25 equivilent I shoot 308 Baer which is very close to the Ackley. I also use 375 H&H brass, but have also used 340 Weatherby(Norma) brass as well. I think most of the U.S. shooters that respond will tell you they use RL-25, with std match primers. I have a heavy gun 10 twist that I have shot...

    240 gr sierra mk

    I have shot both in a 308 Baer(a version of 300 Ackley) heavy gun. The Sierras will require a little more work to sort. I sort base to ogive, and slide the bullets through a .309 bushing, before loading. I also slide the Bergers through the bushing, but do no other sorting with the Bergers. I...

    6 dasher brass - fireform length??

    1.538 is fine I just measured two different sets of Dasher brass. One a 1k light gun, and the other is a nine twist hunting rifle. They both measure the same as yours. Good square shoulders are important, but at that length you may never have to trim it. I'd say your load is fine. Shoulders...

    I agree. Bob does fine work. He built me a front rest, and 3 tops. 3",5",8". Now he is reworking my rear rests as well. Excellent work, easy to deal with, and fast. No pics yet. Waiting on my rear rests to take pics. Waverly
