i think Forster dies use proprietary bushings and other manufacturers won’t work. But someone else might chime in to say I’m wrong.

I used an Extreme tumbler for years. Then I decided to upgrade the drive and roller system. I found a fellow who was working on the project, but he decided to go another route. So I jumped at this. I can fit two of the drums from my Extreme unit on the rollers. So if I have a lot to clean, I...

Thank you!

I see what you’re saying. I’m just looking for a starting point.

Two different lot numbers of brass.

I don’t see any data on AMP’s site with regards to 6.5 PRC and the Lapua case. Has anyone got a program number figured out? I don’t really want to sacrifice multiple cases to Aztec. Lapua brass is tough to find and very expensive here in Canada. Any help would be appreciated. Andy 6MT

I’ve found N140 is pretty similar to Varget. In speeds and temperature tolerance. What’s dissimilar is the price. VV is the better value up here in Canada. Even though distributors are stuck with only one source.

I looked into building a 6.5prc on a Greyboe stock, KS Arms action, and a Kreiger barrel. But when I saw this factory Bregara Premier Pro, I had to jump at it. You just can’t build one for the Bergara’s money. Yeah, yeah…I know the obvious. But when the time comes, I‘ll re-barrel with a...

Here’s two of my three Cadex builds. Both started life as Cadex’s “Field Open Top” chassis. In years gone by when Cadex first started, these were just the receiver and fore end (no butt stock or hand grip included). Just a bare chassis. This is a Remington 700 action chambered in .223rem with a...

Ouch! My brain hurts.

No, the 4” isn’t tall enough. By just under a 1/4” or so. (I’m not using the quick change Unimounts.) Here’s my two Co-Ax’s with the 4” mounts. I moved them forward so the rods are just in front of the bench (no conflicts).

Varmint eradicator

AutoTrickler V4, with a 1/8” shim under the motor unit. The shim is necessary, I found. N570 is a bitch. I also use side cutters to snap some pieces for additions when necessary. N570 has to be the worse extruded powder ever for stick density. Which really is a problem for “fast” throwing. The...
