Both a LV and a HV RIFLE share the same max bbl dimensions. The problem is weight. You'll be more than hard pressed to make LV weight limits with a HV bbl.

Yeah, recoil and quality custom bullets are the two biggest reasons we don't see more people playing with things like that or maybe a 338BR, or similar. A standard 30BR is somewhere very near max practical recoil in a gun built for true accuracy, and that's only with premium bullets that are up...

It's why my tuner is made to attach the way it is! It's intended to MANAGE vibration, not to stop it! The late Gene Bukys and I had a couple of debates on this subject. He claimed his pinch bolt tuner design didn't move. I had the benefit of testing and seeing it with my own eyes with fancy test...

Hindsight is 20/20 but if you had used a machinable material, you could've tapped a hole in it to remove it with. ;) Al did a great job of explaining what I believe is an ideal weight system design..or very near it. I think it's ideal for several reasons, some less obvious reasons and some...

I much prefer to attach the weight to the butt plate and being machinable is a big deal in this regard. I've seen stocks destroyed by a weight getting loose in the back end because it wasn't attached. Most of us don't have the ability to machine tungsten carbide. Copper/tungsten alloy is the way...

I use 70/30 or 65/35 copper tungsten alloy rod that can be found on ebay. It's machinable and still almost as heavy as tungsten carbide. Not cheap but about 1.5x the weight of lead. It just works well. Lead shot and epoxy can be mixed on a budget but you won't get the same weight from it.

Less than a br. Closer to a ppc but close to middle, depending a little on which variation. Either way, a grendel is a .070 long ppc and the 6 ARC is even between those while the 22 arc retains greandel datum length. Bottom line, I look at a 6 Grendel as nothing more than a 6 PPC on streoids and...

A 22 ARC is exactly a 22 Grendel and a 6 ARC is a shortened Grendel, .040 IIRC, which would make it a ppc + .030 long. Been shooting a 6 Grendel in BR for a few years now and have won multiple national aggs with it. Just started playing with a 22 Grendel aka ARC. It's fast and has potential...

Didn't say that. SAAMI length is set and all mags must fit ammo at that length but not all mags are the same. The saami is minimum, not max.

Not sure what "no size" means but the days of only neck sizing are long gone in the br world. Virtually everyone full length sizes and most use a bushing die that also sizes the body.

I look at my bullet as being a mandrel and clearance on the od of the neck is just that...clearance.

AFAIK, the only thing SAAMI has to do with this is that ammo at that length should fit in ALL mags but has nothing to do with the mag length of YOUR gun, nor throat length being a specific length. It could be a short action or a long action. Obviously, the same ammo should fit both mags...

I didn't see any specifics but I'll try to look further when I have time. Thanks

No need to turn the brass for it to fit, hopefully, with proper and adequate clearance.. It's been working great for a few years now, with a National championship and maybe a couple of national yardage wins on top of that. I'm not the only one toying with it again and seeing good results.

The bbl swells a tiny bit every time ya fire the gun and the brass tries to go back to that expanded state. That's how they can get tight after they lose a bit of elasticity to spring back. I find it rare to feel radial expansion upon close but it can be very apparent upon opening. If only neck...

It's not a big deal at all. Most people remove a little from the shell holder but I prefer to take it from the die, myself and not have a dedicated shell holder. Plus, I could then use the redding shell holder set if I chose to. Just take .010 off the die and you're set for the holders to do...

They only REDUCE bump. They won't give more bump. The one marked zero, is the same as a standard shell holder and they get thicker from there. So no.

Trying to follow you as best I can here but I think what you're seeing is fairly common. The brass has nowhere to go while being squeezed down radially and gets longer UNTIL the die comes in contact with the shoulder and pushes it all back where ya want it. It's not uncommon and is typically not...

I understand about NDA's but that makes it harder to offer the best advice is all. Good luck with it.

Are you running for office? Sounded familiar! Lol!😀 Sorry if this is the wrong place to try to be funny. ;)
