I turn my compound to where it's 29.5 degrees off of perpendicular to the lathe bed. 29.5 degrees instead of 30 degrees gives more clearance as you go out from the chamber. This is for a Panda bolt...

I'd think that the spindle bearings needing to be adjusted would give you variations in runout, but I guess it could give you changes in runout depending upon where the bearings came to rest as they...

Your headstock bearings may have worn a little and you may need to tighten the jam nut on the end of the spindle. Paul Dorsey told me to chuck up on a 1/2" rod and then chuck the other end in a...

Attached is a photo of a ladder test I ran. All groups are three shot groups except for the four on the right which are five shot groups. One thing I noticed is that I didn't write enough...

I've made a plug before that's a tight fit into where the bayonet mount goes with a allen head set screw that tightens up against the inside of the bayonet area of the bolt. You have access to the...

Eddie, it depends upon how close to the center the firing pin hole is whether you can center on the firing pin hole or not. If you've indicated very many bolts in, you'll find they aren't very...

I looked up the specs for what they allow for a rifle cartridge in Indiana. Don't blame you at all for building a .35 on a WSSM case. Not sure I understand their reasoning behind the case size and...

I'd think with 4 sets of fonts that's a pretty good, as in cheap price. But, that's getting in the area where you need to be doing more than just work for yourself to justify the purchase. But,...

Saw this listed on e-bay. I'm sure it will work as it looks very similar to what I use to engrave my barrels....

I doubt if you'll see much experimentation with a BR case in a .22. I've moved shoulders back on them and compared to moving the shoulder back on a .220 Russian it's a royal pain. To move the...

Bill Ackerman is the only person I know of that boosts scope magnification. Optical Services in Santa Theresa, NM http://targetshooteroptics.com/#2747 Unfortunately, two others who used to boost...

I looked at the top speed on my mill and it was 2670 rpm. With the VFD, it will probably do a little more than that. Top speed on my Kent lathe is 3000 rpm and that's scary when you put a barrel...

Jerry, don't think I can run that fast at least with carbide. I might be able to get the 18000, but would have to look to see what the top speed is on my mill.

I think it's going to take some time to see much change in the sporter class rifle. It's possible to build a benchrest rifle in the years trial run for the new sporter class rules, but you'll have...

Boyd, after re-reading Dan's article on barrel stiffness a few years ago, I installed some Hunter class taper barrels on one of my Sporter class benchrest rifle. They shot well, but the main thing...

I use the same thing. The clearance size doesn't make much difference as long as it's centered. I built a brake with .002" clearance once for a .22 PPCXL that I had built. Accuracy with or without...

I use 416 stainless steel. Seem to always have some scrap barrels laying around, turn them to .615" and drill out the hole in the middle to 5/16" with a through hole unless it needs a screw head...

I'd suggest using a carbide 1/8" end mill plunging down through the trigger guard and making your slot in the middle. Then open up the slot with the sides of the end mill on each side of the slot. ...

Kris, I've set sako style extractors to depth for PPC's before and used BR bolt faces. The end of the extractor needs to be beveled a little more to allow the case head to snap over the BR sized...

I use the larger diameter spring with Remington ejectors and the...

Typically, the way that the NBRSA has checked for flat forends in classes such as hunter classes that require the forend to be convex and not flat was to take a straight edge and lay it on the...

Check your private messages. I messaged you Cecil's e-mail address as I didn't want to post it here due to so many problems with spam and web bot's picking up e-mail addresses online.

One of the first .338 Lapua's I built was on a Bat M action with 1 1/8" diameter tenon and 3/4" bolt body diameter. The customer was using some .50 BMG powder in it and blew a primer and couldn't...

I was wondering as well and asked while I was out at the Cactus this weekend. The same thing has happened to them as has happened to every other firearms supplier. They are swamped. They aren't...
