    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    Did you use the small base die just once or do you have to constantly use it?

    Runout in size die body - Does it matter? Probably not...

    That would be a great test. Let us know about the results if you do decide to test. For me I got the best groups with the worse concentricity ammo. About .004 off, go figure, I’m never measuring concentricity again. It only drives me insane.

    Help identify pressure signs. 6.5 Creedmoor with H4350 and 147 grain ELDM

    Interesting as the primer edges are still round and the primer shows cratering. Are you using fed primers?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I did the exact same thing, I cleaned my bolt and then found this video. Had to disassemble again. I guess it makes for good practice.

    6mm BR

    I made the jump myself and the 6br is crazy accurate and easy to tune. Brass never grows and should be good for an estimated 18 firings or so. I got me a Harrells sizing die and Forster micrometer seater. Annealing I got the annealeez. I hear most guys don’t anneal the 6br. My chamber neck is...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    What would be the cause of a tikka bolt handle bouncing? My tikka bounces about 50% of the time. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my tikka?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Odd question when you guys dry fire a tikka is the bolt handle suppose to bounce like a rem700 or does the handle drop down? I seen a post and can’t find it about the tikka bolt dropping on dry fire. Why would it drop and not bounce? Or vice Versa?

    Bartlein/gunsmithing Question

    The action mfg told me it was out of spec. Didn’t say what was out of spec, but if I had to GUESS it was the bolt face.

    Bartlein/gunsmithing Question

    I had a different experience, I was getting pressure issues and couldn’t figure it out. Tried everything from changing my reloads to different cleaning methods. I’m just a beginner so I called the Bugholes and sent pics of the brass and bolt face. Greg recommended a different cleaning method and...

    Yet another 223 load question...

    I had the same issue with a Tikka T3x loaded .020 off the lands, 77 smk 8208xbr had to back it down to 2600 fps. 2700 fps I was cratering primers using CCI400. I think the load was 23 grains but I can’t remember it’s been a while.

    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    Get yourself a harrels custom die, send them 3 pieces 3x fired new brass and they will send you a die to match your chamber. Use that die to size your old brass.

    Terminus actions availability

    I feel for you guys waiting is like dying a slow death. When I called defiance a year ago they told me 1 year backlog and said to get it from a vendor since they have standing orders. My buddy has been waiting over 1 year from SJA, so many lies their going to file with ATF.

    Terminus actions availability

    He is pretty responsive when I had an issue. No questions asked he fixed it and sent it back in about a weeks time.

    Possible false ejector wipe/ring?

    Also once you size and reload (enough shoulder bump based on wheeler videos and lower powder charge to truly eliminate pressure issues) take the ejector and spring out when you shoot the rounds. It could be the ejector hole, the ejector or the ejector spring causing the bolt swipes. Assuming the...

    Possible false ejector wipe/ring?

    Since you’re getting swipe marks on the bolt face cycling factory ammo you could have an issue with the ejector hole or bolt face. I had a similar issue, fire the brass 2x with a low charge and get a good measurement of the brass using a headspace comparator. Note fired and sized, make sure...
