    Finding the Lands

    Does a true measurement to the ogive require the barrel to be mounted to the action?? Or can I get a measurement with an unmounted barrel?? I've seen video purporting that a measurement can be obtained with an unmounted barrel... but I am dubious. My usual method is to removed the firing...

    Dasher with Berger 109’s??

    Maybe is the best answer..... It will probably come down to what you can get your hands on. 105 Hybrids is like finding ground up Unicorn Dust at times. I'm betting that the 109s will be similar. Andrew

    Just wanted to drop a big thank you to CH precision weapons and Buck Holly. I had an issue with a Parallax Spinner on a Kahles hitting my scope rings. Buck kindly modified the spinner, refinished it and dropped it in the mail. Doing a 1 off project like this is a great sign of their...

    Lapua case - 32.8gr Varget, 105 Hybrid, 2950 fps Alpha case - 32.5gr Varget, 105 Hybrid, 2935 fps Equally accurate in the load development. Haven't got to spend much time shooting them at distance. Uses same 267 bushing for neck sizing. I'll post more as I gain info. Andrew

    Alpha Dasher brass

    I was told at the Gap that A Team Precision / Brian Allen will be receiving the first 50k pieces in distribution. So, I'd order from them. Got my first 200 pieces from the prize table. Andrew

    Defective whidden dies

    These types of posts tell me two things only - 1. Yes, it is a failable word and occasionally products escape QC. But with a company like Whidden, RARE and Unlikely. 2. The original poster is unaware of inexperienced in what he is doing. So to salve his tender conscious, he blames the tools...

    Gunsmithing Stuck Muzzlebrake, Any Suggestions on getting a brake off? Is Cold Weld possible??

    Other possibility is the use of Rockset as a thread locker. That should release with a 24hr soaking in water. It's cheap and easy to try. Andrew

    1st time annealing. Critique me.

    Color of the brass during or after annealing is not an accurate method of assessing the effectiveness of the process. Get the Tempilaq 750 and use it to relatively assess your efforts. Andrew

    Gunsmithing How to Enlarge Barrel Channel

    Other option.... for $50 or so, McMillian will re-inlet the barrel channel. I'd call them for a lead time and compare that to manually doing the job. Andrew

    Gunsmithing Crescent Custom Rifles

    I have had 8 rifles and about 6 re-barrel jobs done by Moon.... always impressive work. He's helped me out on 2 occasions with quick turn around work (bolt handle coming off and a crown recut). Never met the man in person. But he's the only smith that has worked on my long rifles over 10+...

    Gunsmithing Crescent Custom Rifles

    Yes … still in business. But a one man shop and busy as hell. I call - leave a message and he gets back to me in a reasonable time-frame. His work is fantastic and I'll wait for it to be done right - the first time. Andrew
