Pete, size a 308W case and check the shoulder and back end dimensions. Use those dimensions to figure the taper per inch in .001's. Then shorten the...

Like most members, I have issues with the NRA in some areas. And I shudder to think where we'd be without them, for all these years. -Al

Dr. Tim, I've actually seen Randy swathed (festooned????) in orange. That's all I got 'ta say about that. Apologies to Forrest. Forrest Gump. ...

We talked just the other day. Might be best to give him a call. -Al

Sounds like a perfect candidate for what is sometimes referred to as a 'ring' die. Using a small base die for whatever cartridge family you're...

Great project, Jackie....can't wait to see the result. There's a lot to like about a 45ACP revolver. :cool: -Al

you're a good man Al. Mort

Keepin' someone shootin' is always a good use of time. ;) -Al

Thanks, Al. The other thought I had was the hazard fee the store would charge if they did ship. Could raise the price considerably. If the...

They were gone that day. The store wisely limited sales to 1K per customer. -Al

Al, I think I will give these a try. If you are down that way again I'm in for 2000. Do you still have my address? Mort If the store ships I...

What case are you working with? -Al

Morning, Al. I do recall you having some thoughts on it, but it wasn't your comments I was referencing. ;) No point to prove...just an...

I like the mechanics of the system. Interesting....see how it works out. Mort

Used 'em before in the .17 Javelina, 17 Remington and 22BR (all Rem 700's). Accuracy was the same as the Rem 7.5 and Fed 205M. -Al

Al, Thanks for the tip. Mort

They were available on line at biding sites and they STARTED at $50. Some went for $ 75+. Mort

All good questions. As Dave has pointed out, the 250 Savage Ackley is virtually the same cartridge with the exception of the shoulder angle....

From my sod hut on the Northern Plains prairie this morning, Jackie. :) -Al

We have a local/regional television station with a nice Classifieds section on their homepage that has always featured a Hunting section for...

Absolutely, Greg! :cool: -Al

Tom, the stuff is out there. It's just sporadic as to when it appears. And it's gone quick. Trying to buy consumables (powder, primers) online is a...

Bill, I thought of you yesterday when I pulled a barrel from one of your Barrel Bags! :) -Al

Take it easy on the egg nog! ;)

Good to hear from you Al. Merry Xmas. Mort

I'm not very savvy on cutting inserts and cutting tooling in general....pretty much stumble my way along using whatever seems to give a decent...

The long set screw is kinda' like a Kenworth shifter...makes it easier to adjust! ;) You and Chet are correct in that a true interrupted...

Rebuilding the 327 for the 1966 Corvette.

No....used a chunk of monofilament fishing line. -Al

Jerry, they were gone that day. The good news is that 80 people got some! ;) -Al
