Get a Gov't surplus paint locker.

I used to do the water deal. Used a bucket of ice water. Eventually shifted to setting the turner on a gallon ziploc back of ice between turnings. Used STP/Mobil 1 mixture. Finally quit it all, went back to just being patient, going slow, taking two passes and Imperial wax for lube. You can...

Buy a used Weaver T-36 or a Sightron. You'll be much happier.

Hi Jim, Thanks again for the help. I appreciate it very much. My scale is tuned. I think it's the same guy that makes the Prometheus unit did it. I bought it second hand, so I'm not 100% sure. I have a Ken Light annealer. I'm not very good in using it. Any tips that you might have about...

Hi Jim, Thanks for the info. I know that you're successful in the long range game. I appreciate you taking the time to spread the wealth. I'm going to play some in the longer range games this year. Thus, my question. Of course, I might have played "straight man" to get a good answer out...

Jim, you have a handle on the precision reloading gig, what scale are you using?

No problem, Jim. Have recently started having to wear reading glasses for some tasks myself. -- Greg J.

Jim, I was addressing who I addressed the post to in the salutation. You know...where it says "Edwin,".

Edwin, You are either a troll or you are seriously misinformed.

Thank you, Robbie. That was very illuminating. I appreciate it. Really wish we were neighbors. I wouldn't feel bad about taking up your time if I was cutting cores or doing something else useful for you. As you noted, seeing holes is a huge, huge deal. In addition to bigger holes, I'm...

No flags, no sighters, several minutes between a brief sighting and record targets. To make matters worse, there is a wind tunnel before the 300 yard line. It's tricky. Wind cheaters have been winning.

I slightly mispoke. I've got a butt load of 284 Shehane brass. I would do a 30 Shehane and throat for one of the two big Berger hybrids. It would be interesting.

Jerry, I'm tempted to shoot a 30-284 just to get the most BC and the biggest holes that I can. At 25 lbs and able to shoot a muzzle brake, recoil shouldn't be bad. Greg J.

Because he has promised them to me, and he's a man of his word.

It'll be interesting to see how I end up on this. Looking more like I'll have two barrels. As an aside, I have a source with 50,000 jackets for the 135s. Thanks for the heads up.

David, As stated in my first post, I'm attempting to draw from old score info to help with a couple of different, related formats. Neither have any capacity limit. Neither has any barrel or stock profile rules. One has a 25 lb weight limit, the other no limit at all. Both are best edge...

Use The Force, Luke!

I'm thinking about a 135 gr custom. That depends on everything else, though. Lapua brass. Maybe Palma, maybe LRP. I'm concerned about the powder to get 100% case fill at the right velocity, what kind of neck clearance works, etc. There are actually two formats. One is unlimited weight...

I've seen people post about some folks in TX, at least back in the day, perhaps currently, shooting a full 308 in score. In a different format, this has bubbled to the top as a possible solution. Could some of you guys clue me in as to the details? Bullet weight, powder, velocity, etc. If...
