This guy was the driver of our prime mover for the 105 Howitzer. He was a fun and laidback guy who could less about conforming. He never went to the...

I have a neighbor couple that are semi-preppers....he's fairly laid back but she's super serious and a bit of a doom and gloom type. She was...

My good pal Stan Ware told me this 'Spam Story': Stan lived in Windom, Mn. and was drafted into the Army and went to Viet Nam. Also in Windom...

You might want to have him check with Mack Bros. I've seen some of their replacement bolts and they're very nice. While their site doesn't show it,...

If you're bedding the rings after lapping, the Permatex valve grinding compound gives an excellent finish for the bedding compound. Good...

I misunderstood your statement about .006 to mean the case length was .006 shorter on that round. Reading it again, you were clearly referencing neck...

With a VLD tool, the necks can get pretty thin at the mouth. Depending on how big the chamber neck is, it's possible that the very end of the neck...

Agreed! :cool: Gene has put in many, many hours of behind the scenes work to make these happen. And to everyone like Gene that volunteer...

The late Dick Davis from McMillan told me that before the advent of CNC inletting programs, they first positioned the action screw holes perfectly....

Danny, sorting through stuff like this can get pretty difficult, via the written word. Again, I'd encourage you to simply send three fired...

What does a case measure at the back end after it's sized in your full length die (77524)? -Al

Danny, if your dimensions of .466 on the back end if the Redding f.l. die are correct, that's different than the one I have. Mine is right at .470,...

If your .470 measurement at the back end is accurate, that's a pretty small chamber for Lapua cases........:eek: -Al

Good plan, Danny. :) Harrell's also supplies a slick little bushing to help you measure the amount of shoulder bump. Keep us posted, sir....

Danny, this is the heart of the matter. The truth is you want to full length size the brass each firing to maintain consistent accuracy. I'm not...
