I responded this morning. Did you get it?

Are you looking to trade for another barrel blank?

It works just fine. I’ve used my backup gun that’s a 6.5LRP (260 AI) and it held its own. Just do it.

What are you looking to learn? I’ve been helping out some local Billings guys with the basics lately.

X2 on the Ross vise. I like that I can take it to the range and swap barrels out. i use it with a piece of leather or thin cardboard for extra grip.

New price

For sale is an excellent shape Kahles 624i Gen 3 RSW with SKMR3 reticle. Included are NF extreme duty rings and Tenebraex caps. I‘d accept PayPal. $2000

This jack wagon probably got a 1 in a billion rifle barrel and took 56 days to clean the accuracy right out of it. We may never know.....

Yes, I’d agree. I don’t baby that case either. It’s usually thrown in the back of my pickup and the wheels are nice for rolling in the back. That rifle is 15.5lbs. You wouldn’t have an issue with a 20lb rifle as long as you cut the foam right.

49.25” That’s a 28” barrel with a PVA brake too.

Pelican Storm IM3300. I’ve got 3 of them and they’re worth the cost. You can’t go wrong. They definitely are not 5–600. I usually wait for sales and can pick them up for 200-220.

I’ve been using H4831sc for two barrels now shooting 110smks on the first and DTACs on the 2nd. I’ve had good luck with both combinations.

Thanks for the help guys. I’d have to agree about using bronze brushes. I bought into the barrel damaging rhetoric and the only difference I see in using nylon brushes is that it takes twice as long to do a shitty barrel cleaning job. I hate to admit that is probably the majority of my issue...

3 firings on ADG brass. I anneal every other loading. I run Redding Type S bushing dies with .002” neck tension. No variations on seating depth which tells me the consistency is good.

About the time I think I‘ve got shooting/reloading figured out, I come across something else that make me scratch my head. I occasionally shoot competitively and reload for multiple rifles. My rifles generally shoot 1/2 minute groups and I don’t normally spend much time doing load development...
