    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    That third photo has me baffled, I've borescoped too many barrels to count and I can't tell what the fuck I'm looking at there. The center land looks as I'd expect, but the ones on either side look "bellmouthed" which is impossible- as I look closer, it appears to be dark discoloration on either...

    What can I do with an old AW barrel?

    Not even close IMO. Never owned a belted magnum- but seems like a bad idea to me to fireform the brass in a completely different rifle. While the belt to shoulder datum dimension would be consistent from the same reamer, the belt to boltface dimension is most certainly going to vary. If you've...

    Gunsmithing Bullet tumbling

    This is logical... Pic of a pulled boolit would be helpful. Never encountered it, because I've never shot fucked-up bullets- but if they're really that bad, it's reasonable that the combustion gases pushing an asymmetrical bullet base could induce imbalance. My question is who's ammo is this...

    Geometry question.... Angular movement

    Which still amazes me when punching a bullet through the same hole, or tiny groups in the 2's.

    Gunsmithing Budget sandblaster and spray gun for cerakote

    Make sure you get a blast cabinet of sufficient length to hold your barreled actions.... Because I already had a compressor, I bought a second one which when connected in tandem with it gives me the CFM I need so I don't need to stop. For just your limited home use, you can always compensate...

    338 Lapua mag build

    Action is irrelevant, all that matters is the mag length in the context of your question. I recently chambered/rebarreled one (Bartlein blank), SAAMI spec reamer. Berger 300 Hybrid OTM's were one of the load-workup choices, along with 250 Scenars and 300 A-Tips. The burned-up barrel it...

    Anyone familiar with the pillar bedding offered by Boyd's with their stocks?

    RIchard's Microfit is a solid alternative for walnut and laminate stocks if you don't mind doing the final fitting and finishing. I'd rather do final fitting/bedding/pillars on a stock that hasn't had the exterior finish applied.

    From NZ... https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.300+Winchester+Short+Magnum.html The .300 WSM achieves what its designers intended, duplicating the velocities of the .300 Win Mag from a short, lightweight rifle platform. Generally, the savings in length are approximately 2.5” when...

    Very disappointed

    Contact CZ cust svc to find out what match ammo they use to verify sub-3/4 moa accuracy (their website states every rifle's accuracy is "verified". Then I'd get a box and see...
