    I’m sure you are right and I’m not suggesting an alternative energy source but the industry will need to “give back” and that can take many forms. One of my clients has just bought over 300k acres of land and will hand it over to Fish & Game to “protect into perpetuity’. Others are funding...

    Barrel speeding up, carbon rings, chasing lands, 6 Creedmoor

    Check neck thickness vs new brass. I have a tight neck chamber, found brass necks thickened considerably and that led to a sharp increase in velocity. Speeds went back to what they were once I neck turned back to new brass dimensions.

    Accuracy International AT - Worth It?

    I’ve only ever owned AIs but I recently had the urge to build a custom rifle. I’m very happy with it but the first thing I bought after getting the rifle was the one thing I never bought for my AI....a spare parts kit ????

    Anybody else hate the gym?

    Bud you are doing it all wrong. Hire a really hot instructor, that will motivate you LOL. If you don’t like the gym, look for something completely different like hiking. You’ve got some seriously amazing mountains not too far from you. Check out Arizona Outdoor Adventures. They do 1-day to...

    Forster Full Length Sizing Die Question

    I’ve had the same problem with Forster dies being out of spec. Send it back. It really does seem to be quite a common occurrence with them.

    TriggerTech 2-Stage Trigger - I'm stoked!

    Weird because I tried one a couple of weeks ago on a friends rifle in the U.K and i can assure you we usually get everything at least a year after you guys ? It was really nice, better than my TT diamond and the first stage take-up felt just right. No after travel. Exactly as I would want it to...

    Bolt doesn't close

    I suspect it is your case neck thickness. Measure the tip of the case mouth with calipers for a case that didn’t load. Tell us what you get. You probably have a tight neck chamber. The case mouth might have flared a little too.

    Growth in Case Neck Thickness - what causes it ?

    Sorry, to be clear there is no expander ball. I use a Forster Bushing Bump die and I use the same in my .308 and .260 which doesn’t show growth. I was thinking it could be one or more of the following: 1. The die. It did have to go back to Forster because it was too long / wouldn’t bump the...

    Growth in Case Neck Thickness - what causes it ?

    From 0.014 growing to 0.0165 x 2 + .264 = 0.297 vs my 0.295 neck but even 0.297 is pretty tight for a non-tight necked chamber. Even if we take just the mouth of the case, the neck is 0.016 to 0.0165 so we don’t need to even get to the topic of a donut. When I turn the necks, I get a nice clean...
