    Gunsmithing Freebore needed for 115dtac dasher

    Again I'm not sure. You could probably calculate where the base would end up given the DTAC tip to 0.242" ogive distance is 0.64" and the overall length is 1.295": https://www.6mmbr.com/DTAC115hbc.html That means a 0.125" fb and 0.060" jump would put the base at: 1.295 - 0.64 - 0.125 + 0.060 =...

    Gunsmithing Freebore needed for 115dtac dasher

    I'm not sure on freebore, but this shows pretty well that the DTAC performs best with a significant jump (0.060" - 0.080") in a variety of cartridges https://precisionrifleblog.com/2020/04/05/bullet-jump-load-development-data/

    Suppressors Ultra 7 10.5oz Heavy after 28k rounds of 6.5 CM

    I'd bet a power supply like this connected to a peristaltic pump like this would recirculate solvent nicely for about $40. You would likely have to upgrade to an Arduino if you want periodic pumping or spraying.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help with a 12 ga auto

    Clamps work of course, but the forend is pretty long especially on the Comp. I like it positioned there, but you'll have to see what feels right.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help with a 12 ga auto

    The Hayes custom guns look set up for 3 gun, and >$1600. Nice looking of course, but if you're looking for HD and range toy, go with the factory. I haven't modified the loading port on my Comp and quad load fine. Not competitive in 3 gun really, but the loading port isn't what's holding me back...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help with a 12 ga auto

    Good call on the 1301T, I'm sure you'll both love it. I've got the Comp, that thing is super light and soft shooting. Theres a local girl who just rocks 3 gun with one too. My buddy's Versa Max was really soft shooting too, but was heavy as hell and swumg slow, wouldn't recommend it for a...

    3-5 rnd Cartridge loops

    That's enough of a niche thing I think you would have to have it custom made. If you send me $40 and dimensions of the velcro section I'd make one for you. Some shooting bags I made here: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/diy-sticky-shooting-bags.6945275/

    Goldilocks - which "middle" 7mm?

    I like the numbers on the middleweight 7mm cartridges a lot. Great ballistics out to past 1000, great bullet selection for targets or elk hunting, efficient with powder, and not too much recoil. I have brass and dies (though not yet a rifle) for both 280 AI and straight 284 Win. I'll be building...

    I've got Hornady dies, 56 fireformed R-P cases, and 61 fireformed Winchester nickel plated cases I'd sell for cheap. Planned on doing the same but ended up going with 284 Win. PM me if you're interested.

    Shelf for Lee turrets

    I thought I'd share a simple storage solution for my extra Lee Turrets. I've got the Classic Turret press, which isn't anything fancy but has been working. One of the best things about it is the super easy swapping of turrets, and that each only costs like $13. The awkward thing is how to store...

    Cheek piece comfort

    Another vote for the self stick neoprene foam pads off Amazon. This was $10 for a 6-pack, 1/8" thick. Clean off the surface well with IPA (or soap and water if it's painted) and it has stuck well for me.

    Best d.i.y. option for brass annealing.

    Amazon for the PVC rod and cake pan, eBay and slow boat from from China for the electronics and clamps, hardware store for case material, angle aluminum, U bolt. Here's mine. Here you can see the prox sensor that should theoretically run the case feeder only when it senses there isn't a case...

    Best d.i.y. option for brass annealing.

    That's the PVC rod I listed as case feeder. I drilled a hole in it that just press fit over the motor axle, and then drilled a set screw hole. It being PVC I actually didn't tap it per se, just let the set screw self tap. As I said the tricky thing here is assembling it all, and one of those...

    Best d.i.y. option for brass annealing.

    The Skip Design is what you're looking for. Here's my build list, it's a bit of a pain to fit it all together. I wouldn't use MDF again personally, and I could not get the proximity sensor working but I've seen other people with them working fine. Here's a link to skip himself:
