Thank you for the reply(s).

Does anyone have a current phone number for the Hood's. I have not been able to get in contact with them via email. Thanks DanO

Another product that my help is Eezox. While it goes on wet it is a dry lube which does not leave a dust collecting film. For a little more information on it, look at the technical artical section on www.accurateshooter.com

I have seen folks apply velco to the press body and use a old style camera film container with the opposite velco on it. It may require notching the container a bit to get it situated so it will catch all the primers as they exit a different velocity. Easy to remove, for emptying and...

To your concern about Proof Positive issue, Dewey has brought out a line of Aluminum jags and adapters that will address your concern. The brass rod tip is far enough back that you patch and solvent should not be an issue. DanO

Dennis, To your point about the scope mount, Near Manufacturing has proto-typed a Pic Rail for the #1. The one I have seen was for the Tropical barrel configuration. It did look good. DanO

Take a look at the Shooter's Choice line of products, they have a lead remove that works quite well. DanO

Has anyone ever had this type of detonation occur when using factory loaded ammunition (major ammo supplier)? DanO

To swing this thread in a new direction, I am interested in hearing about some of your quality control methods. What measurements do you take of jackets, cores, finished product, and how do you track/record this data? What is it you are looking for in each of the measurement steps? Examples of...

Dennis, I was surprised at the 32TPI and added it to the list of threads in my log book. It was .996" diameter shank. DanO

I have just finished working on a A-Bolt and found it to have 32 TPI and some kind of thread locker on it. Also found the recoil lug to be glued on to the barrel. This combination may explain the stripped statements. DanO

I am trying to identify the manufacturer of a barrel blank. It is stamped K1788, it also has a 6 stamped seperately which I confirmed to be 6 grooves. It is a SS barrel, with a HV contour @ 28" OAL. This is the least amount of info I have seen on a barrel to date, and have never seen the K1788...

Does anyone have the results from the match? DanO

Congratulations Rick. Sorry I had to miss the match. DanO

One disadvantage of having different presses in play for any one rifle/barrel/die combination is that the die set-up may not enable equal ram travel because of the press top thickness. For BR keeping everything repeatable aids in reducing variables. DanO

You may wish to concider Mike Bryant. Check out his web page for a perspective of his ability and quality of work. DanO
