    CZ 457 Varmint MTR - Bore Tech cleaning rod length info needed

    I was able to get a hold of Boretech & there were several reasons that they gave me... which lead me to the 40" 1) I am also using one of their bore patch guides 2) and if you ever get a tight patch near the end of the barrel... it's best not to have a cleaning rod "Just" long enough. Figure...

    CZ 457 Varmint MTR - Bore Tech cleaning rod length info needed

    I have a CZ 457 Varmint MTR on order and it should arrive in a couple of weeks. Because I don’t have the rifle in hand - I am unable to use Bore Tech’s website to determine the length of cleaning rod needed. Is anyone running a 457 Varmint MTR with a Bore tech Bore guide and Bore Tech cleaning...

    Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

    Just as a final summary straight from Redding to help clear up any confusion. When doing an initial die setup & using competition shell holders (this part of it is KEY). They recommend a slight cam over. Then you use the competition shell holders to obtain the amount of shoulder bump that...

    Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

    Baron23… I am not failing at this. I understand the directions as stated in the video when using the non-competition shell holders. That being said - I will be using competition shell holders. After getting off the phone with technical support - the official answer is when using the...

    Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

    Sorry for any confusion. I am using the Redding Type S full length bushing die to both resize the brass and adjust the neck tension. I am just trying to determine how far I should screw the die into the press. Do I screw it in until there is some cam over... or do I setup up so it does not...

    Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

    Baron23... and that's my conudrum. Mulitple sources suggest mulitple ways of setting up the die. The reason why I am leaning twords setting it up w/ a slight camover is because I do have the competition dies to set the shoulder bump and don't need to rely on moving the die to adjust the bump.

    Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

    Thank you - that was the direction that I was leaning... because: 1) I figure that a little cam over will cause the die to be concentric with the ram on the press (assuming I tighten the die down while the press is cammed over) 2) Once the die is set I will be using the comptition shellholders...

    Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

    I am getting ready to setup a Redding Type S full length sizing die for a 300PRC. I do have (and will be using if necessary) the competition shell holders for the 300 PRC. My question is… is it ideal to setup the die so that it free floats a bit?... or is best to setup the die so that there is...

    best carbon remover?

    I have and use both BoreTech & KG; of the two KG does seem to get the job done sooner and with less effort. To make real quick work of carbon I use iosso paste... but then again it is an abrassive.

    I am looking to swap out the radial Vais muzzle brake that came with my GAP 6.5 Saums Xtreme Hunter to a directional muzzle brake. I lack the tools to measure thread counts. Can anyone tell me the size of muzzle brake I need to replace it?

    Which Sinclair Bump Gauge for 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC

    I am trying to verify that I am ordering the correct Sinclair bump gauge for both a 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC. Unfortunately Sinclair’s website does not specifically list the PRC cartridges. 749-011-481WS #30A 30° Shoulder (25 to 338 Caliber) Bump Gage Insert Mfr Part: 0910301...

    Dakar

    I'm with Atomic41 - Love: Danilo Petrucci. Seems to be a great guy and a heck of a racer. Minus a small mis-hap after stage 5, I think that he had the capactiy to be a serious contender for a podium. Next year Danilo... next year!
