i will never understand why anyone would indicate a spot twenty something inches away from the business area. your just indicating in one spot at the chamber by doing so.. i just dont get it! LOL. everyone's brain works differently i guess. lee

jerry if dialed in properly why would there be any angular differences? am in not following what your describing properly? lee

Having my own range right outside my machine shop, i have done some pretty silly testing with crowns. One test i did was to simply chuck a barrel up in a 3 jaw and cut the crown at 11 degrees The crown and barrel shot a 3 shot zero right out of the gate. 6PPC. Perhaps the bore was pretty...

Pete I use a really small carbide boring bare. Insert is a CDCD . I cut 30 degree chamfers on crowns all the time. Good friend of mine just placed 7th in the two gun at the east west shooting one. i think its pretty safe to say, it will work. I see nothing wrong with a 45 Degree chamfer...

OP There are range rods, indicator rods and then there are gordy rods, sometimes called Grizzly rods. Each different than the next. The range and indicator rods are similar but still different. I use a range rod on a new barrel to dial in a rough start. I then go to the grizzly rod, followed...

5R sucks!!! LOL Personal thing. Im a four groove fan. A four Groove makes my life much easier and i see nothing to gain by going with a five. Some say they are easier to clean? I say bull crap. I never though a four groove was hard to clean in the first place. A five groove build...

pete what lathe did you get? This is just my opinion and as we all know everyone has theirs. Anyway i dont see any real need for a DRO on a lathe. i have one machine with one and one without. I certainly wont be buying one for my machine that doesn't have one. i mount a magnetic dial...

With my new rifle shop, I don't have much time to play. Not like I used to anyway. The benchmark powder shot so well I didn't see any other reason to try anything else. I do have a dear friend who is shooting and winning with a different powder, but I cant recall what powder that is? LOL...

The Grench is a great cartridge with 80gr bullets for short range BR, no question . I have one and i like it. With this said, i have a 6mm Grendel reamer that is equally fantastic. I have chambered a couple 6mm Grendle barrels for friends that dont want to mess with blowing out brass. What we...

The best 6BR barrel i ever owned for 600 yard benchrest was a .236 bore Brux barrel. Brux Barrels are my preferred barrel, and they make their 6mm mostly in .236 I really dont know why though?? Lee

I like Ackley cases simply because they stretch less, I am not a fan of the 243 but when i was shooting one a lot while chasing coyotes i noticed that i was trimming the brass fairly often. when i went to the 243AI i wasn't. Velocity gain is very minimal. Lee

I have experienced this a couple times. In my experience i am not so sure its the reamer. Reason i say so is that the reamer in question has cut other blanks without any trouble. I guess the one reason why i even brought this up is that there is a very common denominator in each of my...

I have been making tuners with those deresonator for years. I have even mentioned it here a few times. yes they work, and i take mine one step farther. I like to place one on my barrel about mid length. I had a rifle i had built here recently that you could feel it vibrate after the shot...

Have any of you fellas ever had a chamber where the reamer was super tight while reaming and even a little hard backing the reamer out after a cut? Your thoughts as to why this would be?? Lee

thanks men

Does anyone know where BAT or any other action builder buy their springs? I would like to play around with some different spring weights on my BAT actions along with some other minor modifications, but i do not know where to source the proper springs... Thanks Lee

For 30$ you can buy a harrels and finish machine it for whatever bore size you desire. There is no way you can make a muzzle brake for any less money. Harrels brakes work extremely well. and like i said, they are a steal. I use the heck out of them!! Vias brakes are ok, but they cost...

jay i like your method as i have used it myself. i dont cast a chamber though. if i am a little short i can see it with my bore scope. Jays method works extremely well. jay has tough me several little tricks over the last couple years. he might not relise it but i am always listening. Lee

Does anyone have any info on the newest illinois gun bill thats going in for vote? i keep hearing some ugly stuff but i cant find any info. thanks lee

mike ive only had one that after truing wouldn't eject the case reliably. the rest weren't perfect but definitely functional. lee
