    Lightloading high capacity cases

    Re: Lightloading high capacity cases Are you referring to reduced power loads or loads of fast powders utilizing less than complete case capacity in order to achieve similar MV? I don't think most people do it to save $$, I think they do it because the faster powder loses less MV when...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances That's one thing I was unsure about with the JGS, does it float radial and parallel? Sounds like yes. I'd like to get one I can put an ER or DA collet on so that it can serve more purposes than just holding 7/16 reamers, considering trying to track...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances Just a small update, it is the Dave Manson reamer holder, not anything from JG. I'm terrible with names. In any case, it appears to have been a conflagration of the holder having a strong bias to cutting on one side and a pilot bushing that was labeled...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances I forget the name, not the PTG one, JPT or something like that. I promised to take the boys camping this weekend so I'll have to look later, but I figure I'll probably need to push it back a touch more than the neck length, plus whatever is necessary to...

    MagnetoSpeed Chronograph Review

    Re: MagnetoSpeed Chronograph Review Tried mine out yesterday and am very pleased so far. Not a single missed read and setup/takedown is a LOT more convenient. I can even easily shoot from prone rather than having to setup off a bench as I normally do when using a chrono. This thing is...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances Well crap, it looks like my floating reamer holder was frozen up. One of the retaining screws is gorked down way too much. Ah well, a quicker fix than needing a new reamer.

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances Well, no need to cut the scrap, I guess. I just tried using my Wilson seating die (which the fired brass will not fit into) as a case gauge and the reamer slipped in easily. So now the fun part of figuring out where the tailstock went out of true...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances I'm not sure I have anything that can bore a .276 or .284 hole deep enough, but I'll check. ETA: NM, I guess it's not really all that deep. I should have a drill long enough.

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances No, both rifles are like this. I can try to measure the reamer, but obviously that is much more dependent on exactly where I measure and the angle of the cutter rotation, etc. I will try and make a case gauge using a piece of scrap, but I need to wait...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    Re: 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances Running the fired brass through the body die (Redding Type S with no bushing installed) required a fair bit of force and two passes w/ Imperial Wax but it formed it back to a perfect 0.5510" max diameter and correct (0.002" under minimum) headspace...

    Gunsmithing Stiller M700 Short DBM install/review

    Re: Stiller M700 Short DBM install/review IIRC, when Seekins first started shipping their DBM they included a measured drawing with it. Do they not any more? I've wondered if a "measured drawings" sub-forum would gain any traction here.

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    I've got a new 7 WSM reamer from PTG that I used to chamber a couple of barrels. The drawings on this reamer specified 0.5563 +- 0.001" at the base of the cartridge (0.2000 in front of boltface). However when I went to start load development with one of the rifle today I discovered that it...

    H4895 . . . is this load too hot? Help!

    Re: H4895 . . . is this load too hot? Help! Did it shoot well at any charge weight? Perhaps your gun doesn't like that bullet @ that length. When trying to get 130 VLDs to shoot in my 260 distance from lands was the all important factor, charge weight made relatively little difference...

    Lapua Brand Brass. Worth it?

    Re: Lapua Brand Brass. Worth it? Unless you're trying to WIN a benchrest competition, probably not. Certainly wasn't for me. You might get a couple extra loadings out of it before the necks go because they anneal it at the factory, but unless you are able to re-anneal it (in which case you...
