Woohoo! Less shit to do... -Bryan

Yeah, thanks, I went ahead and registered.

I see that this post is more than a month old. Do you still have slots open? I'm ready to sign up. -Bryan

Quick update: Me and my son both hit the mile target at Thunder Valley on Sunday for the first time. 22.5 mils elevation, .7 mils spin drift, .2 elev and .2 left for coriolis. Speed was a little off but my son hit it within a few rounds. We had the turret maxed out and holding 4 mils over on...

Wait, so the Intimidator is moved to Sunday?

Sorry if I missed it somewhere but how much ammo do I need to bring? Does your chrono read on the high side or the low side? :) -Bryan

Honestly, the area that we're talking about cutting is so far behind the part of the receiver that immediately supports the lugs and the barrel tenon that I don't see how you can even consider them related. There is also a huge cutout here for the magazine already and nothing (that I can see) to...

I was also told by Shilen that, even though the overall area of 4 lands is less than 6, the 4 lands are a bit "beefier" and might last a little longer. Might. The ratchet plays a role in this as well. It's less friction between the bullet and the land because of the "smoother" engagement. The...

I think we're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Anyone building a gun that uses a long cartridge (like 2.960) in a short action has had to do this mod. Scores of guys across the country have done it (myself included) and I don't recall any stories of anyone junking an action because of...

We shooting at 8:30 or just shooter's meeting at 8:30. Got a long way to drive so just wanted to home in on the timing. -Bryan

Don't forget McCree :)

With properly developed ammo, it will shoot a 5-shot bughole at 100 yards.

Yeah, I hear ya. Well aware. I would not recommend it for anything requiring precision. Also, the chuck is taper fit in the spindle so it will fall out if you put too much side load on it. I did mostly plunge cuts followed by light sweeping cleanup cuts.

Agree 100%. I run a custom Remington action that is cut for Savage-threaded barrels and I love it. Cheap but good barrels and easy headspacing with no machining necessary. Fast caliber swaps too. You can buy Shilen and Criterion barrels for most popular calibers from Northland Shooters Supply...

This may sound kinda janky to the machinists present but I also had issues finding someone to inlet my B&C for the PTG Stealth DBM. Not being one who likes to rely on others, I bought a cheap X/Y table for my drill press and a couple of different endmills and did it myself. I traced the bottom...
