    Caliber choice for .284 barrel blank

    Re: Caliber choice for .284 barrel blank Correct, I like 280AI you get a little more volume than a .284 win and it feeds like a dream, also no loss in magazine capacity, I'm building one in a Howa la over 3.5" mag length with a Hart 1-8 for the berger's 180

    Gunsmithing Reamer Speed

    Re: Reamer Speed your stated speed of 45 rpm will cut chrome moly great but the s.s. barrels usually cut better faster like the other guys stated. I can "feel" the flutes filling up your experience may differ but others have agreed with this. Also I've spoken with other smiths that have...

    Gunsmithing Vanguard Triggers

    Re: Vanguard Triggers With the pull weight screw backed out all the way I get 3.5 But thats o.k. its the engagement screw that seems to be the prob when I back it out to get rid of the creep the safety quits. i.e. the lever won't move.

    Too Neck Turn or Not To Neck Turn??

    Re: Too Neck Turn or Not To Neck Turn?? Do you mean 3/4" or 3/4 M.O.A.? at 300 because 3/4 m.o.a. at 300 is close to 2.25". So if you are shooting for .5 m.o.a. and your shooting 3/4" you have exceeded your standard my friend.

    Too Neck Turn or Not To Neck Turn??

    Re: Too Neck Turn or Not To Neck Turn?? Maybe you could shoot that one "as is" and start saving up for your dream girl, I agree unless you go tight neck, neck turning doesn't do much for ya. If you're shooting under .5" at 100 Thats probably good enough, unless your bench shooting. If you're...
