Sorry....I guess the date on this document, July 22, 2016 led me to think it contained something "new".

new gun law New law makes small gunsmiths "manufactures". Permit will cost $2250.........

I use a pistol cleaning rod and move it in and out by hand with the lathe turned off.

I use them on the rimfire barrels to take off the sharp edges after chambering. I like to use a little bit of Flitz polish. Unlike jacketed bullets, soft lead bullets will take a lot of shots to smooth up the throat area.

And renewed his call for action on gun control: "We also know that when people are armed with powerful weapons, it makes shootings like this more deadly and more tragic," he said. This was part of the Obama's speech today. If I remember correctly the year 1966 when Charles Whitman did his...

Great shooting George.......Getting ever closer to that elusive " zero " agg. Only a matter of time. Gene

I was talking with Kelly Mcmillan at the Cactus and he said they are going to make a new model with a few upgrades to the EDGE in mid summer. It will be interesting to see how the present design can be improved. I tested one of the originals for them and presently have one on my LV gun and...

Mike, The fellow that is having this hard bolt lift problem does have a lathe and does his own barrels. Since he has already polished the chamber to a chrome finish, just putting the barrel back in the lathe and using the 320 paper treatment should do it. I recently started using a new...

I wonder if one of these would work.......maybe the .41 diameter........ http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/handgun-tools/hones-files/cylinder-polishing-system-prod61384.aspx

I will ask him to jump in here to answer questions.

I had a conversation today with a fellow shooter who is having trouble with heavy bolt lift after the cases are fireformed..........not the click but heavy at the beginning lift. He mentioned that he polished his chamber to a chrome like finish which I feel is the possible cause of the problem...

Boyd, you have a memory like an elephant. That happened at least 10 years ago and it still works today. I use a modified version now on my scopes in which I turn the knobs 2 full turns clockwise and then 4 turns counterclockwise then back 2 clockwise to arrive at the same start point. Gene

Hi Rod, I load a little hotter at 27.4 to 27.6. I settled on the 27.4 (50.0 on the Harrel) load for the Cactus. HV 200 groups were .441, .190 ( small group for the yardage ) .539, .429 and then the wheels came off with a 1.140 trying to shoot a complete reversal. I am not a fast shooter so I do...

Just spoke to Lou Murdica and the answer is no.....grain size is the same only retardant is applied to LT30 to make LT32. He also loads duplex with Lt30 first and Lt32 on top as you were suggesting with the Vit 130 & 133.

Been hearing about a few shooters using LT 31 (LT32 & Lt30) blend with good results. So I blended up 2 lbs. and gave it try. 27.5 gr. with Berger Columns shows promise. Just wondering if any one else that has tried this has had success and any do's or don'ts recommendations. Gene

I am using a 1.350 dia. barrel 24" long torqued to 40 in/lbs on my RFD Rail. It is a V block 6" long also. Start at 25 in./lbs and work up to 40 in 5 in/lbs increments starting in the center an working outward. If my memory serves me right, that's the way Bob Dodd told me to do it. Gene

Got the sad news today from Helen that Jerry passed away on Monday. Jerry and Helen shot benchrest in the Southwest region back in the 70s and 80s and Jerry set the world record for single group in Sporter in 1978. Our condolences to Helen and family. Gene

A big thank you to Art, Ed and Doc for running the matches under some very difficult conditions.......60 mph wind gusts makes things interesting. We will be looking forward to meeting the new crew in Oct. Gene

Anybody care to relate what they torque the bolts to on a V block setup rail gun? Seems to me, it was 40 in/lbs. Thanks, Gene

Jerry...Thanks again. Looks like the wrench I have is for a Panda by the measurements. The other one I have is a flat wrench all the way from front to rear and this other one is .700 on the round part so it is for the Panda. Oh yeah, I hear you on the glasses.........I recently got new ones but...
