    Rayner's monthly Steel Match July 24 Blue Rock, OH

    Re: Rayner's monthly Steel Match May 22 Blue Rock, OH Mike, I just got my rifle back and I'm having some brass issues. But she still shot a .275" three shot group today with the new Alliant 4000-MR powder. If I get the brass issues resolved, I just might be able to make it to the June...

    Re: Throat erosion A little over a year ago I had four threads cut off due to .040 throat erosion at 1100 rounds. But after another 200 rounds throat erosion grew to 2".

    Gunsmithing Is .003" enough for neck expansion?

    Re: Is .003" enough for neck expansion? Even though I've got brass issues - when I resized my 223 wssm brass to 243 wssm, I got the dreaded donut at the neck/shoulder junction - the gun shot a 1/4 MOA group with 105 A-Max's clocking 3250 at the muzzle. So it would appear Custom Blue knows how...

    Gunsmithing Is .003" enough for neck expansion?

    Re: Is .003" enough for neck expansion? Well, I hope I didn't make a mistake. My gunsmith (Custom Blue) reamed the neck earlier today. He felt confident he could get things centered and I trust him.

    fired case won't fit after resizing ?

    Re: fired case won't fit after resizing ? You might need to "cam over" the press. Move the shell holder out of the way and turn the die down another 1/8 turn.

    Gunsmithing Is .003" enough for neck expansion?

    I just had a rifle chambered with the 243 WSSM Match reamer. My loaded brass has a neck diameter of .284". The reamer's neck diameter was .282". So the gunsmith is going to ream the neck to .287". Is this enough clearance?

    270 wsm loads

    Re: 270 wsm loads Its probably a 10 twist. My Winchester 70 270WSM shoots 1/2 MOA shooting 130 SSTs .003" off the lands 65.5 grains of RL-19 with 215M primers - 3260 MV from a 24" barrel. And it shoots 150 Bergers at 1 MOA.

    Range Report Palm apps

    Re: Palm apps I just bought the Pixi Plus and was told it would view AND edit excel files. WRONG!! It will view but not edit. Does NOT have DataViz 'Docs To Go' and DataViz does not even list the Pixi on their website. Emails to Palm confirmed all of the above. And to make matters...

    Too much time to reload,is this normal.

    Re: Too much time to reload,is this normal. I am not a Lee fan EXCEPT for their case trimmers. You do need one for each caliber but they are only a few dollars. Chuck the trimmer in a drill or cordless screwdriver, spin the case for a couple seconds and you're done.

    Thou shalt NOT break-in your new rifle

    Re: Thou shalt NOT break-in your new rifle But its the transition from reamer to hand lapped barrel. Ask Kreiger. Or Walt Berger. But you don't need to shoot & clean, shoot & clean, etc. However it is wise to make sure that transition is lacking burrs, etc.

    Real difference beetween .223 and .22-250 @1k?

    Re: Real difference beetween .223 and .22-250 @1k? My 223 wssm 27" Kreiger barrel pushing 55 moly VMax's at 3935 fps lasted 1300 rounds. At that point a borescope showed 2" throat erosion. Groups had gone from .25MOA to .75MOA and velocity had dropped to 3770 fps. It is now being converted...

    Range Report Quickload tweaking - some observations and ??

    Re: Quickload tweaking - some observations and ?? Fred C Dobbs beat me to the punch. About the only thing I can add is you must calibrate QL for each bullet/powder combination. I also tend to run a higher 'weighting factor' for heavy-for-caliber bullets. And Chris says about +/- 20 micro...

    7mm projectiles

    Re: 7mm projectiles Greg, I totally agree. I happen to have some 130 SSTs loaded for antelope in my 270 WSM. When you look at 3260 MV with a .460 G1 BC, it can really reach out there.
