Some time back Speedy discussed the warehouse. He said that in a season that he was doing excellent, he tried switching to everything that was said to have worked well in the warehouse, with...
Why bother cutting the die? All you have to do is to leave out the bushing.
Harrells uses CNC turning equipment and boring bars to produce the interior shapes of their dies. The reason that they have such quick turn arounds is that they make standard versions that mostly...
Sad news.
You can be sure that there was real provocation. I have gotten along with Al just fine. But you do not want to insult someone when you are standing in his house.
Before you do that remember that doing so will position your cocking piece farther forward relative to the front of the firing pin flange. Check how much clearance you have between the bottom of the...
Here is a link to the YouTube video by Stan Ware on bolt timing. You can get to all of his videos from this page.

It is not that simple. You need to maintain a little gap in the dry fired position of the pin, between the front of the cocking piece and the bottom of the cocking cam notch. Since the existing gap...
My early Viper came with .200 with a HVR Jewell. Sometime after I got it, Jerry told me that he feels that there is no substitute for enough pin fall, and that he recommended turning the trigger...
If it ain't broke....
I don't know why anyone has any issue measuring firing pin fall on a 700. If you take all measurements with the trigger in, and the bolt closed, all you have to do is measure from the back of the...
Not quite coaching, but related: I think that many would benefit from videoing themselves shooting. A while back I was trying to help someone more than half way across the country. At my suggesting...
According to reports, it will take bluing right off, and I am not sure about other metal coatings.
This can vary significantly from rifle to rifle. Finding the combination of how a gun likes to be handled, and how it likes to be rested requires experimentation. It is a range thing, that cannot...
Great news! Wilbur, get well soon. Look forward to updates.

I just got off of the phone with them and it is strain gauge.
Because for not that much more, I could have a magnetic force restoration scale.

I looked at the features PDF and unless I misunderstood the abreviation, SG refers to strain gauge. Personally I would never invest that much in a SG scale.
I had someone who has been well known for die work open up the shoulder of a PPC die and when I got it back, with a $60 bill that I paid, it was effectively ruined because of the runout of the sized...
I use a top loading case, with no drawers, that Harbor Freight used to sell. It resembles a pilot's case. With everything for loading, including a couple of powders and my whole Chapman screwdriver...
I would not use Bullseye for the Beggs, but for the PPC, in the past, I have filled the .220 Russian cases half way up the shoulder with Bullseye and used a 3/4" square of ordinary kitchen towel as a...
My friend Gary Ocock holds several current records (short range group) both NBRSA and IBS. He throws all of his charges, including when he is shooting 133.
