Break Free CLP stuck my Browning Citori ejectors in place, while in long term storage. Applied WD-40 with a Qtip. Let soak over night. All 4 barrel ejectors came loose.

Does not make sense. .293" OD of neck, before and after firing would leave a loaded round with no neck tension/ bullet hold. o_O

A variable powered scope is nice when the mirage is heavy. I use an old Leupold 36 fixed power on my 1970s Rem 40x in 243 win. I mostly pick a day with no sun & over cast, zero wind to get a few 1" 5 shot groups @ 300 yards. Most 1.5" to almost 3" when a puff of wind comes along. No...

6mm Norma BR cartridge

No 6ppc. 6mm Norma BR cartridge will. Compare rim diameters.

Trifocal glasses, bad idea. Bifocals with line better. You will know if you move out of the top lens that produces 20/20 vision. The parallax gets adjusted so the view is the sharpest. Forget the yardage lines.

Random failure i hope. I had some defective Rem 9 1/2 many years ago. Two years ago some Win SPM . Happens in all brands, soon or later. There is now a guage to check pocket diameters. If the primer pocket is loose, gas will come up the side of the primer & make a hole, in primer. Should see...

Not on a 2 screw action. If it was a Rem 581, then yes, where only 1 screw holds it. My guess. More on the subject.

What action is being used?

IMR 4895 - move to HDPE plastic, Black best. Shot some IMR 4198 that had red rust from metal can. Was not as bad as the 4895 can. Shot normal, after blowing red dust out of powder.

Brass Fired in other rifle, may not have a bolt face square to the chamber. New gun, new brass.

A for neck turned brass. B for unturned brass.

After cleaning, put rifle in rack, muzzle down. Any oil, solvent will drain out the muzzle, not into bolt.

The sooner the bullet is pushed off course, the bigger the group. Close flags over long flags. After the bullets stabilize, less effect the wind has on the bullets.

I like the idea. Ty. My 243 bushing should work with the 6.5 ? Have to try it. Using Redding Type S FL sizing bushing die. The Redding standard die, 6.5 seating stem was contacting the bullets nose. Had to drill it out.
