    Primal rights cps

    The forum has a search function, ya know. Right there in the upper right corner. All of those questions and more have been discussed and debated numerous times.

    Primal rights cps

    That's got to be one of the dumber questions of the day, even for the 'Hide. WTF would someone jump ship, from the original to a f'ing knock-off?

    LE Wilson arbor press

    Got off night shift this morning, took a nap and got up ready to finish loading for a 600yd match tomorrow. Looky looky, new toy on the front porch 😉

    Cleaning and abrasives and Fire Lapping

    I scrub my Bartlein barrels with abrasives, after pretty much every range trip. Pretty sure that's not what's keeping me from shooting a clean @ 1k ;)

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Funny you should mention that. I remember years ago an article came out in the old Precision Shooting magazine, with this guy just happy as a clam with his new switch barrel rifle that he could change barrels with 'a snap of the wrist'. The ensuing debate on the benchrest.com forums was what...

    LE Wilson arbor press

    I've got a couple hundred rounds loaded on it so far... just under 200 for my main 308 FTR gun, and about 70 or so for one of my 223 bolt guns. Overall, I like it quite a bit. I do however have some... not sure if I'd say 'concerns', maybe more... 'reservations'... about the toggle link setup...

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    Gotcha. I picked up a CDG this summer, and should be picking it up from the gunsmith today from having a barrel fitted. But like @AllenOne1 I have a number of Savage pattern barrels from my Origin(s) that I'd like to be able to use on the CDG. I guess the question in my mind is how they are...

    @personalbest @AllenOne1 Any updates on the conical breech adapters?

    Not yet. But I'm talking with a friend that makes a hydro seater base for the K&M arbor press to see about getting them modified for the Wilson.

    Bore Rider Jags Alternative

    I've been using these (the 21st Century version) for years - probably 10+ - in my match FTR guns - ie .223 Rem and .308 Win - as well as my 'play' guns (6.5CM, 6CM, etc.). I use them the same way I use pretty much any other jag with patches - I pierce the patch (Pro-Shot 1-3/4" for .30 cal)...

    Picked up my new precious this morning... Sometimes it's good to live 5 minutes from their shop ;)

    Purpose and Idea behind using 155gr pills with a .308?

    Anything in the general burn range should work. Used to use I/H4895 back when; today I'd probably look to 8208XBR for a first choice. Maybe N135/N140 if you want to work in the Viht ecosystem. In theory N540 should work; I had some less than positive experience with the stuff long ago so I...

    Does it matter who machines your barrel?

    I'm as guilty as the next guy in going down the pre-fit barrel rabbit hole. But pre-fits aside (they're kind of their own thing)... generally speaking, the guy who is free to do your barrel right now doesn't have a back log of work FOR A REASON. Most of us learn that lesson the hard way...

    Deburring tool

    Huh. Usually when the tool starts cutting poorly, yeah, a new (sharp) one is called for. If your trimmer is leaving a big nasty burr even when trimming after every firing, then maybe the cutter on your trimmer needs looked at. I had fits for a while with my Giraud - but only in one...
