Im in Tacoma and can drive. If you do part I would take the zero press and annealer.

It really depends on what you do. A lot of SRBR shooters neck size only. If you shoot very hot loads you can run into chambering issues, hard bolt closure and that will pull your rifle around more between shots. I necked sized for about ten years, 223 and 308 and went to FLS a couple of years ago and am now going back.

Hmmm??? How come you're going back?

The only advantage I can think of, in my limited experience, is one can fill the case more if that is what needed for a particular powder.

Hey pal, speak for yourself. I've measured my barrel-installing hand torque to max out at 101 ft-lbs.

When removing barrels I really have to take 'er easy or I will crush the barrel with my bear hands.

In fact, I have a 308 barrel that I accidentally crushed down to 17HMR. Still hammers tho' @ .25MOA if I do my part breaks like a glass rod.

I once grabbed a 1 on 14 twist 22-250 barrel by both ends and twisted it into a 1 on 7.

Your velocity is telling you your charge weight is low and the gas system is also telling you the same thing. Most people find the 77 gr Sierra'a, Noslerswhich are very similar bullets run around 23.2 which is Hodgdon's Max.

Go up slow. LC brass is thicker than 223 Rem brass so it will have a lower case capacity. ( Currently seeing this first hand in a 308 gasser) This might yield a bit slower velocities but should still allow you get to a working load. Watch your cases and primers as you load up.

Nope. Not true in 223/556.

Use a 219 bore 5 or 6 groove pipe, stay away from 218 bore anything for a 22 build. Especially if you want speed.

Cheers mate!
I didn't even know you could spec the bore. I'll talk to my barrel maker and see what he says.

I don’t know anything about the builder, but this came up on a really quick google search…

Bump

LOL!!! I luv it!!

Hopefully the law, and the government supercomputers that monitor the whole of Earth's communications take the time to read this, and of course they'll know/should know is the only thing I'd shoot in the direction of downtown LA over my Son's house would be cameras as in "Lifelong Photographer".

There's no excuse for them to not know it now but thanks for the "heads up".

I think I'll be ok LOL

California? While you may be correct, you should probably sleep in body armor for the foreseeable future…

I regret getting it in 20” as tikka factory (typical) barrels are very accurate but on the slower side. I bought it to shoot NRA silhouette comps as a factory rifle and I don’t have enough speed to generate enough ke to reliably knock down the rams with 140, 143, or 147 gr bullets. I ring about 1/5 to 1/4 of the rams, they stay standing and don’t count for score. Switched to a 22” bergara and haven’t had that problem.

Update on my son, showing some improvement but it's a full time struggle. Thank you all for the prayers and please continue.

Try no go with tape. A chamber can close on the no go and still be in spec. If it closes on a field gauge it's too much. A field is around .003 over no go.

first thing I would do is clean that rifle and then shoot differs ammo.

Same thing I say

UPDATE! It finally works!! After sending the scale back a second time with a video it came back fixed! Works as it should thank god! I can now say that this is better than my old RCBS chargemaster

Back up, trade deal fell through

Always loved to look of sports cars modded into off road

I have one in black I'll sell for $60 shipped
Any chance you need a steel MDT bag rider as well?
Apologies for my awful pics

My Eley extractor would not grab Eley. Same for my buddy's. Try a different combination

I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but maybe try repeating it again before you’re four fingers deep in Jose Cuervo!

But did you see the big mole on the side of her eye? I mean I could overlook it but it stood out when they put her on the screen. All those fockers have hot wimmins.

No lol

I had closed captions on so it was only a glance lol..but that glance was good to go

If I knew her name I’d check for a mole pic but I know he goes through models once a month lol

Sponge paint is Krylon so can be taken off.
