    Gunsmithing Opinions: Series II Power Custom jig?

    Very high quality fixture. It does take different stones. Brownells lists them on the same page if memory serves me. I bought one right after they came out. I picked up adapters for numerous handguns and AR trigger work. Follow the directions for adjustments just like with the series 1 . It...

    308 dies

    I really like the Hornady New Dimension dies. The alignment sleeve on the seater really minimizes runout. I have them for all my rifles. Used with the CoAx press where everything self aligns I seldom see more than .002" runout on the concentricity tool. I added the micrometer seating...

    Need some help picking a press

    A bud of mine loads .338 Lapua on his. I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work with the CheyTac.

    Need some help picking a press

    Forster CO/AX is the best thing out there. I use it for all rifle stuff. Still have my Lyman crusher press as a backup. Dillon SDB for handgun ammo. I hand prime all rifle ammo so the priming system on the CO/AX isn't used. The ease of changing out dies is great. Set them and no worries about...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why open carry?

    I have had a CCW for some 31 years now. Open carry is legal in this state and carry both ways. My wife also carries both ways depending on the situation. Our Governor recently signed into law a bill that clarified our handgun laws. Several great things came from this. !st. Employers used to be...

    Shot timer reccomendations

    I have the shot timer app. on my android phone too. We couldn't hear the "beep" with hearing protection on. Went to Wallyworld and bought a battery powered speaker that is small and LOUD. Put a little Velcro on it to hold it to the Otterbox cover and volume level issue was cured.

    Gunsmithing 223/556 Chamber opinions for bolt gun

    Mine is 29". didn't feel the need to chop it shorter. Should allow a setback or maybe 2 if throat erosion becomes an issue. I would guess at 22" you would loose maybe 40 fps ? Also in mine after trying tons of loads. Mine just doesn't like the 80 A-max, but the SMK is good to go if no Bergers...

    Gunsmithing 223/556 Chamber opinions for bolt gun

    This. But I'll add to the bullets that shoot in this chamber the 80 Gr. Berger VLD. I'm running them over 26.3 Alliant Power pro 2000MR and getting 2925 fps. Lapua brass loaded jammed in the lands about .003"- .005". .139" grouping 5 shots @100. Mine shoots 1/2 moa at 1000

    Rifle Scopes 30MOA base too much?

    I use a 30moa on my Rem.700 .308. with my Vortex 6.5-20 x 44 hs scope I have 5.5.moa of down adjustment left from a 100 yd. zero. I don't think it will be a problem. But nothing wrong with using a 200 yd zero.

    Choate stock

    I have used 2. One on a 3006 Ackley, and currently have the ADL version on my new Rem.700 .223 long range rig. They are built like tanks, a bit heavy but that was a blessing on the Ackley.

    My 223 only likes slow loads. Any recommendations???

    THIS 80gr Berger VLD jammed in the lands (long throated chamber) 26.3 2000MR CCI sr primer Not BR 29" barrel 2885 average 5 shots 1/4 moa accurate from mine and 1 other guys 29" barreled rifles this load showed no pressure signs in either rifle. As always back off at least 10% and work up.
