    338 Norma... first 3 rounds down range!!!

    Re: 338 Norma... first 3 rounds down range!!! Just finished my second build. Home made muzzle brake needs some work, but the rifle shoots like a house-a-fire. My try-load for this one was 3.602" COAL, 300 SMK, and 98.1 grains of US 869. Half minute group at 100 yds. I really dig this caliber.

    Gunsmithing Removed two Rem700 factory barrels. what a PITA!

    Re: Removed two Rem700 factory barrels. what a PITA! I followed the path of parting off the recoil lug. After numerous other methods attempted, I zero'ed out the barrel in a 4 jaw, clamped it with brass shim stock, then cut off the recoil lug all the way to the barrel threads. From hence...

    Any Winchester 52 people out there?

    Re: Any Winchester 52 people out there? Youngun, You might think I'm crazy, but I think I used to own that gun. Is there ANY indication of somebody trying to fix that crack with clear accraglass or epoxy? Is there any handwritting in pencil or pen inside the barrel channel or under the...

    Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr As with any propellant, there is an area where it should and should not operate. Be sure you're in a safe place for pressure.

    Speer Target Match Grade Tips (Dont Buy)

    Re: Speer Target Match Grade Tips (Dont Buy) Holy cripe. How bullets go flying thru the air is not only controlled by weight. It's a combination of coefficient of form, dynamic balance and sectional density. This combination is more commonly referred to as "ballistic coefficient"...

    Gunsmithing Throat erosion

    Re: Throat erosion You got a lot of heat in that case. 900 rounds and 0.060 is reasonable to me. However, you've got to mind your manners with that combination. Set her back and she'll come round for you. 50 fps degradation ain't that bad, but watch for key holing as you increase your...

    Gunsmithing 1or 3 phase for lathe,mill

    Re: 1or 3 phase for lathe,mill I was in your shoes back a year and a half ago... 1 phase or 3, Chi-com or US??? My decision: Old-time dial machines are going for pennies on the dollar right now. Everyone wants digital, cnc, xyz. I picked up a 16" SB lathe and standard J head Bridgeport...

    Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr

    Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr As for 208 Amax, I don't know if, and at what charge weight it might work. I do know that this powder was designed for heavier .308 bullets, but will also work very well with the 155's. Stretching it up to 208's, who knows. Seems to me that the...

    Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr

    Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr Well, what's up with the RL 17 in a .308? I'd like to see some comparable data against the 2000MR. Might anyone have data? Has anyone shot them both over a chronograph with the same load? Has anyone brought both up to pressure, then shot them for...

    Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr

    Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr Point being this powder dumps beautifully, you can run it thru a Dillon with no problem, the temperature sensitivity is very good, it's flash suppressed, and I'm betting the velocity/charge weight/pressure relationship outperforms RL-17. By the way, is there...

    Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr

    Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr JLM, You may be able to achieve 2700-2750 fps, out of a 24 inch tube with a 175 SMK. It'll depend on your chosen primer and case (and barrel). If you're shooting a 26 inch barrel, I would not be surprised to see ~ 2800 fps. Of course, I must provide...

    Ladder test ? Cool between shots?

    Re: Ladder test ? Cool between shots? warmers before the test is the way to go. Warm it up with 3-5 shots, then pace the ladder test such that the barrel never gets "hot". Starting a ladder from a cold bore will do nothing for you. Theoretically, that means cleaning the barrel at the end...
