    Gunsmithing Painting barreled action?

    Re: Painting barreled action? I did the same thing you are wanting to do to my 10-fp about 4 yrs ago and used krylon. I didn't sand it, only degreased it. I removed the bolt and masked of the action. That's where you want to pay most attention to detail as to not get overspray in our action...

    .308 dies out of spec???

    Re: .308 dies out of spec??? Sean- yes i did but its not a matter of force, its bottomed out. I should have noticed that but i guess the force from the deprime made me think it was ok.

    .308 dies out of spec???

    Re: .308 dies out of spec??? Fuzzball- I found it odd too, I have other lee dies and have never had a problem. I found a few different people on forms that have the same problem. It doesn't make sense, I don't see how it could only happen to a few people. I could very well be doing something...

    .308 dies out of spec???

    Re: .308 dies out of spec??? Yea, i tried it without the decap. theres just no bite at all in the die. Im going to see if lee will do anything about it, the dies are old but this is the first time ive used them. I have other sets from them and never had any problems at all.

    .308 dies out of spec???

    OK, I have a set of lee dies, that have never been used before last week. I deprimed, cleaned, preped and primed about 250 rounds while i waited for my bullets in the mail. When i finally got them, I quickly found that my neck size was way to big, allowing the bullet to drop into the case with...

    HK super 90

    Re: HK super 90 I have the same weapon, ive put a side saddle, forward light, plus 2 on the foregrip, a gg&g charging handle and oversized safety. I havent had any more cycling problems after the upgrades then I did before. It is temperamental on which shells are ran in it but no problems due...

    Installing Bolt on an AR15?

    Re: Installing Bolt on an AR15? That does look pretty sexy and slightly useful. However, I can't help but think that it would have some affect on the accuracy or cycling.

    I'm looking for a good rifle

    Re: I'm looking for a good rifle I agree, if it's your first rifle and your on that kind of budget, you should look into getting a bolt gun. However, if you are going for the "cool factor" and are set on getting an ar-10, dpms would be a good start. They are comparatively cheap in price for a...

    Rifle Scopes Tapered base for savage 10-fp???

    Re: Tapered base for savage 10-fp??? I will definatly let you know. The largest taper I have been able to find has been a 30 moa from ferrel. If my math is correct, that should just barely do it but I'd like to have a little room to play with. I'm still trying to find that magic bullet that...

    .308 @ 1760....

    Re: .308 @ 1760.... well shit gentelmen, i didnt want to incite a riot. i was sure i would get plenty of shit for wanting to shoot a mile with .308 (trust me, i know how crazy it sounds) but i didnt really think i would make other people argue. However, i do understand the how hard this is...

    .308 @ 1760....

    I know, I know, it sounds pointless and highly improbable but its something I've wanted to try just to say I did. I'm wondering if anyone has any load data for anything out that far. Ive had great luck with 168gr smk out to a grand but I know that I'll need to go heavier. I know that the farther...

    Rifle Scopes Tapered base for savage 10-fp???

    Re: Tapered base for savage 10-fp??? Well.... Funny you ask cause I'm sure there is goin to be plenty of doubt. A friend of mine and I have set out on a bit of a project. We want to attempt a mile shot with a .308. The main goal is to do it with what's in the closet. Not going out and...
