I did ask the dept. involved as clearly stated in my mail (read the quote from Sinclair); furthermore, I stated their reasons are true. They are not in price gouging...in the States; I am just saying that I, and all of us here, regret the disappearance of our choice to deal with these companies...

I have been a Sinclair Customer for many years, and helping other Bench Rest shooters order when they couldn't understand English; so, I was quite surprised when I wanted to order 3 carbide pocket uniformers on behalf of a French shooter to be asked to deal with the French Brownells franchise...

I agree with you and Lou. Whatever it measures, the point is to have the lowest deviation possible, thus indicating the best possible homogeneity: that reassures us... Whether it translates into measurable benefits at "point blank" ranges is another matter. I have tested the Euber FB 68gr in the...

Not the same gunsmith; actually, 2 different gunsmiths with the same reamer gave me the 2 chambers matching the .262 reamer. I agree with you about the clearance, I like to have .002, personally. Anyway, I have the 2 reliable gunsmiths now: long may they prosper!

Out of the 12 barrels in 6PPC I have, only 2 have chambers corresponding to the diameter stamped in the barrels; this from 4 different gunsmiths, even when the last 4 barrels used the same reamer. Sometimes the difference is quite small, for instance .2622 or 3 instead of the advertised .262. I...

I raise the bolt handle and put the rifle upside down in the cleaning craddle; pull the bolt back to get the case out slowly so as not to go anywhere near the trigger, tap gently the stuck round with a bronze rod I always carry and blow the powder out, down, through the barrel with a can of...

Yes, that's seems to be the case (no pun intended). We'll have a look as soon as we can lay our hands on a borescope but I reckon it's time to lay it to a well deserved rest...

Yes, it is and if yes, he'll try Boyd's suggestion with IOSSO. I am using Carbon Killer after every series, just one patch followed by a dry one, but I am shooting moly and whenever I checked with a borescope the leade, neck & all was clean. But let's not start a cleaning thread!

I asked him to take the barrel out so that I can measure the actual chamber & neck diameter against the advertised one, just to be absolutely sure, but as I wrote in the original description the rounds measure .2610 for a .262 advertised diameter and as the problem appeared during a match where...

No, we were running out of time but that's the first thing I told him to try.

Yes and yes, for the second lot of brass; every round is checked for OAL.

Thank you all. The rifle has shot at the top of European matches for quite some time - and still shoots well. The brass was 3 matches old for the first lot and new for the second lot (Rohn Hoehn) Carlos, We did try 2 different lots of 133 and the reason I posted was because I was flabbergasted...

Boyd, Thanks for your opinion; we'll try the IOSSO treatment. I hadn't thought about 'alligatoring' and copper pile-up: we'll put that on the "Usual Suspects" list! Best regards.

A friend's rifle suddenly started to produce enlarged primer pockets: It is a 6PPC Panda, with a barrel that has shot over 4000 rounds of FB 68 gr on top of 29,16 gr of 133 shot just above sea level and in températures between 16 and 25°C, this with 2 different lots of Lapua cases, 2 different...

My 0.01€ worth I've had one for about 30 years and I've thought it measured the consistency, or uniformity, of the the mass of the bullets and the thickness uniformity of the cases. The deviations shown by the needle would indicate more or less resistance to the signal generated by the ICC...

I got some for a 6PPC .268 neck from David Kerr in Australia: resonable price, good availability and very fast shipping. let me know if you need his mail address and website.

I was tuning a barrel yesterday in the range where the 1st WBRC tok place, in the South of France; temperatures went from 84°F to a bit over 93°F, relative humidity 51-55%. Even at 100m, through the X 45 Leupold, the mirage was pretty bad, just able to see the rings and the image bouncing...

Thanks for your comment: I stand corrected. Your method is so simply evident!

This time, I happened to have to prepare a set of .220 Lapua cases for a newly installed 6PPC HV Krieger barrel on my Teddy. As usual, before starting anything connected with cases, I like to make sure I know what I’ll be doing, and the first step is to measure the neck of the chamber and not...
