If i know my customer is going to use norma ppc brass i use a small base reamer and i stop the headspace .012 short of normal headspace. I keep a couple pieces of new brass to use as a go gauge. i want a crush fit on new brass no matter the brand being used. i have shot the norma brass in my...

I wont even touch them in my shop. i have no idea how Remington centers up on their barrels and like you i haven't figured out how to redial one in. Ive tried several times early on but not any more. i do like the new RR prefix actions though. pretty darn good!!!! Lee

I found what I needed fellas. Thank you. Lee

Any of you fine men know where I might find a shop that can grind me some rods at a reasonable price? I'm looking to get some 8" long rods ground. .2364 .2366 .2368 to start with. I want to something a little different. Anyway if anyone knows of a shop that can do this please let me know...

Look up Ernie the gunsmith web page. He sells these little spacers for the ha stocks. No need to grind anything unless you just want to. The spacers pick the action up just a pinch but it allows room for stress free bedding. Works excellent!! Lee

nez Some might giggle a bit but i have made a couple tuners for myself using a limb saver dersonator slipped over a threaded piece of aluminum or stainless steel. these limb savor donuts are around 10 bucks and they dampen vibration like crazy. i turn a piece of aluminum for the weight i want...

I tap the muzzle end on new blanks. You always cut a inch or so off anyway so it works out really well. I think I'm using 1/8" pipe tap. Lee

I have since changed my truing fixture since my last post above. i didnt like the idea of truing a surface so far away from the spindle bearings. i also dont like jacking the action receiver rings against each other. remington actions bend very easily. with the fixture i now use all my jacking...

I do. I use a sand blast tank to hold my coolant and i run a supply air line directly to the tank. I supply my take with or at 120psi. I regulate the outflow with a simple ball valve. i catch my coolant with a pan that sits in the lathes chip tray. I clean and strain my coolant before i...

agreed!!!

I have a gench in a 12 twist and it does flat shoot. I'm shooting some 80gr fb bullets a friend of mine has been making and they are very good bullets. The grench of course has to be fire formed and it can get expensive for a fella to barrel up and shoot. Reamer and dies are not exactly cheap...

I moved away from using pushers to hold my reamers and started using a PTG floating holder. I think Dave calls hos holder a Mighty Might. I couldnt be any happier with the results. i have very little to no runout with my chambers. I also now have better chamber finish than i had with the...

I would disagree hole hardheartedly that 36x isnt enough power these days. With winning aggs as low as .1350 you need as much magnification as you can get. I myself, cant hold that close, Not with my 36x. my opinion of course! Lee

I cut my internal lugs as i have seen as much as .004 difference between the two. usually .002 or less but i have seen .004 im not sure you could lap that much? When i do an action truing i always let my customers know that there is a possibility that the bolt handle will need to be re-timed...

i have an indoor bench as well as two outside benches. the inside bench is almost a waste of time in the winter. As al said. You cant see squat!!! Blowing out brass or some informal steel plate shooting is ok but real accuracy work i use the outside bench no matter the outside temp Lee

H4350!!!

mike if your wanting to try a 80gr FB i have a supply of excellent bullets. this bullet maker i know thats making these has already won a match with them this year. His bullets are excellent!! I shot some last night and i can guarantee them. they flat shoot. A 6mm Grendel with 80gr bullets is...

i have been shooting a 12 twist a little with a 6mm grendel and old folwer 68gr bullets with excellent results. I have some 12 twist barrels on order so i think one of my ppc barrels this year will be a 12. I had a hall of fame shooter tell me one time that a 12tw is a OK!!! Lee

make no mistake, weed is very additive as one of my oldest friends is hopelessly addicted to it. when he doesnt have any he goes into withdraw. Danny is a great soul, but time has taken its tole and its hard for me to even be around my friend much anymore. High or otherwise he isnt the same man...

I have also seen a mausingfield with only one lug contacting it was in my shop last week. I was a bit surprised. this action was smooth and it truly is easy to look at. the internal lugs have a gold color to them, and they arent very wide or thick. Nice action but i couldnt help but wonder...
