    Brass measurements confusing me!

    The only way to find the correct die setting for new brass is to test it in the chamber with a stripped bolt - the very same method you should use every time you adjust your full length die. Also, the .220R has a different shoulder angle than a ppc which means your headspace measurements are...

    Please critique this bench

    Make the tail two or three inches longer and the angled section shorter by the same amount.

    Eye relief, Leupold 45X

    The eye relief on the spec sheet only tells you the distance between your eye and the scope. You don't get hit in the eye, do you? Usually you get hit in the brow or the nose. The actual distance between your face and the scope is what matters. The more you tilt your head forward, the closer...

    I'm liking the new look?

    Some things have already been fixed. Nice. And there are new styles to choose from too. On the thread list the main problem is having a blue font on blue background - "Grayish & Red" has black on white which is easier on my eyes. Reading the discussions is easier when using" Dark Blue". Except...

    I'm liking the new look?

    The front page has been created the wrong way. The blue lines are meant to separate different sections and have multiple forums in each one to aid navigation. Here is an example from the vbulletin site: http://files.vbulletin.com/images/cart/screenshots/forum_main.png Benchrest.com only has...

    sorting brass and bullet question

    http://blog.sinclairintl.com/2008/12/24/weighing-cases/ Sort them to .1 and you will see a pattern from which you can choose what to use. There is little point in having exact tolerances (like +-.3gr or 3% etc.). Just look at the pattern, take out the oddballs and even out the rest depending on...

    Bat questions

    The bolt lift will get easier - just use it to break it in. Put your thumb on the tang to open it in an arcing motion and to prevent the gun from moving. :) Have you lubed the extraction cam and the nose of the cocking piece? The different installation options of the trigger hanger(s) will also...

    Robertson "new" JTR BR stock

    The angle depends on the distance from the bolt face to the butt plate and the profile of the barrel. The depth of the inlet does not matter since you always draw the line from 4" down from the bore center to 18" forward of the bolt face. I did some calculations and found that a 7 degree stock...

    6PPC fire forming

    Just load them with the Bergers and about 26grs of N133. Use the forming shots for practice - I'm sure it will group nicely even when fireforming. Lube the cases very lightly to reduce friction. That will help the case expand the right way. Read about it in Mike Ratigan's book. For my latest...

    New to neck turnin in 6ppc...

    Have you measured the mandrels? I expand twice. And full length size in between. Run at moderate speed and don't pause at the top. For expanding I lube the insides of the necks with FP-10. When I'm ready to turn I lube the turning mandrel with FP-10. I have tried other oils and Imperial wax...
