Junk, I've sent a lot of them back because they were way over size and the bore shadows the contour when you slug them, they miss the twist rate frequently and the heat treat is variable!! Some will shoot despite how poor they are but your not stacking the odds in your favor!!

I've been using the Gretan holder and have had excellent results but I recently bought a PTG holder and it has worked well so far can't say I've seen much difference though the idea of a full floating reamer holder gives some guys the warm fuzzies so I though I'd try one, I do like that it is...

It doesn't really matter to me if it's cut or buttoned I put the largest thread on I can, not only to keep from the possibility of the bore moving but why do more cutting than you need to!!

Things seem to have been a huge cluster recently, I had orders shipped not even close to what I ordered and one it took several tries to get the unshipped portion stopped and get the wrong stuff back, it was a complete cluster!! It took three tries to get a 7mm Uni throater which each time I...

I got about a half a box of 150 Matrix down range from our newest 6.5 Sherman, no load development just took a guess from shooting the 142's and 160's, 3120 fps from the Magneto, optic calibrated and a G7 of .320 put me on either side of the 3 inch aim point at 1030 yards. I'm really digging the...

I have some picture of testing at 1027 yards on 2.5 gal water jugs prior to season but don't have any pics of game with those particular bullets. The 160 Matrix will shoot through 6 2.5 gal water jugs at 1027 yards all pin holes in the jugs, after annealing they start opening in the first jug...

I anneal several bullets, it can take a Berger 6.5 140 Hybrid from not expanding to opening very nice and long ranges, the 6.5 160 Matrix is a completely different animal after annealing the tip. I have a tool that just exposed the tip and I hit it with a torch, there is no lead in a good share...

Bedding is where it the nicest, I don't use the front strap over the barrel but I tighten the saddles down after I've snuggled it down and strapped the rear down, it's in there like it grew there and I can move it any where I need without moving the stock. I have an other more regular vice that...

VersaCradle, best solution I've every had for holding rifles and worth there weight in gold!!

In short no, I sure would not do it for that. Remove a barrel without marring, clean up threads on both action and barrel, install and check head space, it may head space close may not but I would shoot you a price for putting it in the lathe and dialing it in and resetting the head space. You...

Pick the bullet you want to use then pick the chambering to push it at the level you feel comfortable with for impact velocity at the range you intend to shoot.

No emotional attachment at all, prefer to mount Nightforce but some guys don't need that much optic and the Vortex has been working very well, they aren't a Nightforce but they've been serviceable! Funny how emotional every one gets when some one does not have a problem!!

Dude, have several thousand rounds under more than a couple of them and no issues, smallest rifle is a 6.5 shooting 140's in the 3200fps range and on the top end is a couple 338 RUMs, one shoots a 300 at 2800fps the other shoots a 250 at 3100fps, 300 mags make up the middle of the pack and all...

I've never seen a PST or HS LR fail on better than a dozen braked rifles most being magnums and RUM's! If I had a steady supply of these break I would be looking at myself or changing brakes because something is happening that isn't good for any optic, even if they to hack it for a while!

I bought a VersaCradle and it's about the best gun holding device I've used, gun is secure but you can work on it and it can be reconfigured to hold any gun, I'll be getting a couple more!!
