    Mle High 5R 300 Win Mag

    This is like the one I purchased and it is AMAZING. Edited to say I agree on the brake. I shot mine W/O the brake to verify that there weren't any issues from the factory, and with 225 BTHPs, it was brutal but VERY accurate.

    Gunsmithing Good smith for Marlin 336 project?

    I think the Ballard cut is more of an initial indicator of the old rifles for him. Some say they shoot better but we haven't seen it. The 70's guns have shot great as well. The only drawback to the old ones is that the action is not drilled and tapped for a scope base. The other thing is NO...

    Gunsmithing Good smith for Marlin 336 project?

    My good friend (and business partner) has done about a dozen for me, friends and family members. He uses XS ghost ring sites, cuts the barrels to 16-1/8", shortens the mag tube, dovetails for the front site and stones the triggers. They are VERY handy rifles. I would agree with the post above...

    Gunsmithing Aaron Roberts in Spring TX

    I always wanted to find a gunsmith in the Houston area that did above average work. Well I finally found him. Aaron at Roberts Precision put together a .223 for me chambered for the 75 amax that shoots as good as any rifle I have owned. 223AI recommended Aaron and I'm glad he did. The...

    Saving brass/loose primer pockets

    Wile, That is an interesting question about the shoulder. I hadn't gotten that far yet. I was just thrilled that the pocket tightened up:) My tool looks very much like the Redding GSX. I did a full length resize before running them thru the SB modified die to keep the pressure needed to push...

    Saving brass/loose primer pockets

    Tenzero, The brass I fixed only has a couple of firings on them. It is a bag I've accumulated over years of ladder testing. Your right, don't put them back in with your main brass pool. I'm going to shoot UKD plates out in the field with it in my semis so if I loose it in the grass or...

    Saving brass/loose primer pockets

    I'd never seen that Redding die but yes that' s the way it works. Shrinks the case head and tightens the pocket.

    Saving brass/loose primer pockets

    OK, I've seen the Hart tool and heard of people using the RCBS swagger to "tighten" pockets neither of which seemed like a good solution to me. So, in an attempt to make a better mouse trap, my buddy and I took a .308 small base die and cut the top off of it right below where the body meets the...
