If their economy is so great, why is the state broke and why are we bailing them out all the time??????

In most bolt rifles, .002"-.003" is all you want for shoulder bump to get reliable bolt cycling etc without working the brass too much.

Because boat-tail bullets may have differing tail measurements, same as ogive differences. The point here is to measure the bearing surface of the bullets for consistency in "drag in the barrel" and possibly in the force needed to overcome neck tension to start the bullet travel.

So, I wanna hear the result! Oh, wait, I guess you haven't had a chance to find out yet????

Good job on getting the wife involved. I did so, and now I have reason to buy guns for anniversaries, or birthdays. They make good gifts, as I get to play with them too.

Yep, that's it. I have not ranged it, so I would have to go on what I was told, 1760 yards.

There are a lot of folks who keep saying that a 30.06 only gets marginal performance edges on a .308. I would venture to guess that most of those folks do not have a 30.06 because they have convinced themselves that the .308 is really the way to go. However, it has been said, and I'll say it...

You have to look on the ridge about 10:30-10:45 to see the rock.

Thanks for all this info. I have just gotten a 30.06 Ackley Improved built, and am getting outstanding results with RL-22, pushing 230 Bergers, with Fed 215 primers. I have been using OBT calculations, and getting 2680 fps average on a 32" barrel. No pressure signs at all, calculations are...

I wouldn't use RL-22 on that short a barrel. You would do much better with a faster powder.

OP, from my experience and research, I would say, why not consider starting with the RCBS Summit press, than upgrade to a Hornady Lock-N-Load Turret Press when you get into mass production for .223 or pistols. Buy a bunch of Hornady Lock-N-Load adaptors for quick change of the dies---should fit...

Interesting, LC. thanks for the link. The only drawback I see to this is the choice of snaps for secondary closure. I have a BlackHawk with said snaps, and I couldn't get along with it as well as the plastic break-away style clips on the AIM bag. This one is cheaper, however, and doesn't...

Because you are in many cases oversizing the brass, which causes it to wear out much faster. I do not S/B size any, and so far haven't had any issues----there is always a first time, I know....

Having several regular RCBS sets in a variety of sizes, one competition Redding set in 30.06 Ackley Improved, one RCBS Gold Medal set in 338LM, and one Wilson Seating Die for an Arbor press, I don't find a huge amount of difference from die to die. The Redding, Wilson, and RCBS Gold Medal sets...

Yes, sir. AIM Field Sports out of the UK has a very nice 60" bag. I have two of them, as I have a 338LM with a 34" barrel, and a 30.06 Ackley Improved with a 32" barrel. They are very quality made, and are quite roomy---I have a large NightForce on one of the rifles, and bipods---they fit...
