    bulldog arms

    wilson seating die

    I recently switched to wilson dies. The bullet seating die comes with the base it sits on; the little disc with a hole in the center. Why is that necessary? I am using a Sinclair arbor press. I am sure this has been discussed but i couldnt find it. Thanks for the help. avd

    Gunsmithing TC gunsmiths on here?

    Re: TC gunsmiths on here? Thanks for the help Rider. We are on the same page. Sounds like we have had many of the same issues. Now that i got it to shoot well and consistently i am thinking about selling it. I would rather put a new barrel on my howa or start another build all together.

    Re: TC gunsmiths on here? The breech end needs material removed because it is too deep. Even factory rounds sit too far below the surface. I can and did shim out the firing pin housing but the chamber is simply too deep. I asked Mike Bellm for help but never got a response. I ordered his...
