Just a follow up: I received a prompt response from Defiance, nothing from Long Rifles. I ordered Rem M700L and M700S 28# springs from Wolff, cut off two coils from the Short spring and installed it. (The 28# Wolff spring has same OD/ID and wire diameter as the Nesika, but 2 coils more and over...

I have a Nesika single shot long action, possibly an type E as the serial# is E000XX. The firing pin spring appears weak (20+ y/o) and I would like to replace it, but neither Wolff nor J&P can help. Does anyone know a potential source for a replacement spring? If one cannot be found, can spring...

Nice Build. Nice build. Well done. And congratulations on your successful shooting season. I read your post/story with great interest as I am building a very similar rifle based on the action from a Savage 12FV rifle, purchased for $349 at Cabelas. It’s somewhat of a budget/local range sleeper...

I am wanting to test several different brands, types and lot#'s of 22LR ammo in both my 10/22 semi and bolt 541-T. The goal is improvement for next year's PRS type competition. Problem is, it's much colder now (40-60degreesF) and will only be getting even colder through the winter. The PRS...

Refinish that beat-up 40X stock?

PS Copyright? Does anyone know . . . What is the copyright status of the contents of PS magazine? Many shooters would benefit from the online availability of some of the excellent articles published over the years.

Taper the bore? Does this system possibly slightly taper the bore as well as smooth/finish it? Can you feel any tightening down the bore using a tight patch?

Thank you all for the information. I understand Bridgeville DE just had an F-Class meet with 600 & 1000 yardages. I will likely head that way for the next scheduled F-Class event.

F-Class Questions Can someone answer three questions regarding F-Class please? 1. What does a typical match consist of? (scoped rifle kind of F-Class) Quick description of what position, yardages, number of shots, times at the firing line, target types, scoring, target feedback...

Tight Neck? Just an FYI that you may already be aware of - Is there any indication as to chamber neck diameter, and/or did you also inherit prepared cases? If you are going to load and shoot this rifle, you'll need to determine neck diameter to ensure safe operation.

Thanks to all for your responses. The vendor has finally responded, citing medical issues. He recognizes the reamer is damaged, and says he has processed a full return. Everyone screws up, it's how it's handled that counts. I am not confident/skilled enough to attempt a setback on my...

Thank you guys for confirming my suspicions. Unfortunately, due to my inexperience (stupidity?), too late for my barrel . . . This reamer arrived dirty, covered in small chips and oil, and the two of the three extra bushings were the same size. Again, this vendor has been politely contacted...

I ordered for rental: “308 Winchester Floating Pilot Chamber Reamer”. The reamer I received is shown below. This is the first time I’ve used a reamer, and I used it as shipped, to ream a short (~.050”) chambered barrel. Pardon my ignorance, but shouldn’t this reamer have a throat...

Still works for me . . . with a caveat I have 7+lbs. of this powder from many years ago. I just started using it again, and have not noticed a change in smell or color. I have, however, experienced much higher pressures than expected. I used Vectan load data for both 22BR and .223 in a 22BR...

T J Conevera I get my Sierra bullets from: http://tjconevera.com Low price, really fast shipping, free shipping with $75 order.

"accelerator"? What is "accelerator"?

Too much coffee and a day off Jim - Thank you for posting the link to the USAF sponsored bullet coatings testing paper. Very interesting reading. While as a scientist I appreciate the value of conclusions based on empirical evidence, particularly from well-executed testing with carefully...

Just an FYI - A shipment of long awaited Lapua 6BR Norma cases must have gone out. Midway sold out quickly, Brownell's has none, but Cabela's is still showing availability, albeit pricey.

Some is good . . . More is better? Thanks guys for sharing this detailed info. Seem like the only significant difference is that I have likely put WAY too much powder in my tumbler. I will clean the container and bearings and keep experimenting with the BN. I have also started to use...

Okay . . . Read these HBN posts. Did some online reading. Ordered some BN ($22 delivered Amazon). Tumbled some 6.5mm 142grn. SMK’s in BN. (Don’t trust them – can’t see the coating.) Went to the range, shooting old moly coated 155gr.(?) & 140 gr. SMK’s (6.5x55S bench rifle). "Okay" groups for 100...
