Plastic coolers would be a good idea for storage shed storage. The biggest problem with storage in uncontrolled cold temperatures is condensation. If the temperature changes slowly there is no...

I don't know that being close to Mexico was a factor because there is a lot of oil and gas drilling pipe that is radioactive. It is contaminated by naturally occurring radio active drilling product....

Louis, can't you keep that kind of crap to yourself. It's nonsense.
Do you think the previous administration was more concerned with the welfare of this country?

Have the results of the 200 yard match been posted?

I've used GUNBROKER several times and had very good luck. They have some buyer protection. I don't know what it is now, but it used to be $500.

I do agree that a rifle is more than just the barrel and it's chambering. However, it is a big part. There is the inletting, bedding and glueing of the action that is important too.
Installing the...

I will be getting one of Harrells sizing dies to match the chamber of my new 30BR barrel.

They request 3 cases that have been fired 3 times each in order to get the closest die that matches my...

At some matches, technical information is requested to be listed, one of them is Gunsmith.

If one person built the gun that's being shot, the question is rather straight forward and I've never...

I appreciate your perspective and can't say that I think you are wrong as both methods have their talking points. I know which I would prefer, I think.

Whatever the rules are, they are the same...

I don't think one can actually say which is better, but it is different. The 249 24X would probably average as a smaller group than 250 0X, hypothetically. It could be 24 shot in precisely one...

Fire forming without a bullet is certainly one way to do it and is probably a good one. I have a fire forming barrel for my 6PPC.

There are two problems with fire forming for the 30 BR newcomers...

Two questions:

You say, "the external 'lump' remains and is turned off in a separate step before neck turning."
Are you saying the external lump is turned off in one pass and then followed by a...

I know there has been a lot mentioned of Doughnuts. I understand what they are and where they come from generally.
What I don't understand and have not seen explained is the best way to deal with...

San Jacinto

San - Sand without the d.
Jacinto - Ja like Jack, cinto - Cents with an O instead of S.

It would appear to me that some short range BR shooter may benefit from this barrel material. For some of us, if the cost of of having to pay a gunsmith to make a new barrel less often, there could...

My measurement is at the largest point of the bullet. Generally speaking, it's about 2/3 the way from the tip.

I believe the micrometers are reasonably accurate. I have several standards to...

Since I'm trying to do things the best I can, I'll fire the cases three times and send them to Harrels and let them choose what matches best in their opinion. They have more experience than I do. ...

I obviously wasn't clear in what I said or meant.
I know what you are talking about when using a fast powder and paper towel or wax to fire form. (No bullet)

I do have a reservation about using...

I agree the ideal way to fire form the case in 30BR would be to have a fire forming barrel and use a fast powder. However, I don't.

I'm guessing that not too many 30BR shooters have fire forming...

Ok, another novice question.

I'm using Lapua 6BR brass and expanding the neck using a Harrel's expanding die to 30 Cal.

I also have a 7mm mandrel along with the 30 mandrel. Is it beneficial to...

Yes, I am aware of neck size consideration. My chamber neck size is .330 and I will target .228 for neck diameter.

It's a fair question but should be directed to me.
It should be .3089 - .3090.

I will change that in my original question.

Whether Alinwa missed it or felt sure what I meant I don't know, but...

I'm trying to get started in 30BR, VFS.

I have a new Krieger 1-17 barrel that was marked 300 / 308. What meaning does that have?

AND
My concern is that I have some Lapua 100 grain 30 cal...

I'm neither very experienced at barrel changing nor an expert in metallurgy, but I talked to Kelby regarding torquing the barrel for a Panda action, and told 100ft LBS.
However, I can read, and...

When you say, Glued in, are you talking about the action or the barrel?
