    Securing press to table without drilling

    Re: Securing press to table without drilling I mounted my Co-Ax onto a very large solid wood chopping board (counter sunk the press mounting bolt holes to allow it to sit flat onto a table). I can mount it pretty much anywhere with either C clamps or bolting into onto another surface. The set...

    F T/R Competition Shooting a .223 at 600 yards

    Re: Shooting a .223 at 600 yards I've used my 20" SPS Tact with 69 SMK's for 500 yard FTR and it's performed very well. I shoot this combo out to 900 yards and when the wind isn't too bad its bloody accurate.

    advise on skim bedding

    Re: advise on skim bedding Look up the tutorials both here and on the Accurate Shooter as someone above mentioned. I've done a HS Precision with Devcon and it came out really well. I only bedded around the front recoil lug and the rear tang - let the sides untouched. Worked really well and...

    243 to 1000????

    Re: 243 to 1000???? Even 90gr Scenars from a 1:10 barrel make it 1000 with good results. When I rebarrel I'll go with a fast twist for the heavies. Very impressed with the LR accuracy.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace

    Re: Falcon Menace Yep they work just fine, I've had three and use them regularly out to 1000 yards with no issues - good repeatability and return to zero. Sure they're built to a price (knobs are a little mushy but I've had no issues with eye relief or adjusting paralax) and are quite heavy...

    De-burring outside of case necks

    Re: De-burring outside of case necks I think that putting pressure on the cutting head actually seems to chase a burr into the outside of the case neck. I find that an extremely light touch is required just to scrape the burr off. Remember you're not trying to get a chamfer like you would...

    260 Rem dies

    Re: 260 Rem dies Lee does make a .260 collet die, I have one. I use it in conjunction with the Redding body die. I also have the Forster F/L die set with micrometer seating die and to be honest the F/L die works every bit as well as body sizing then neck sizing.

    AICS Installation

    Re: AICS Installation SLO, I don't know where you've got your information but you couldn't be further from the truth. The barrel channel will easily accommodate the heaviest barrel off a R700 action with plenty of room to spare, so go ahead and order that 1.25" dia parallel contour. The only...

    Painting plastic skins??

    Re: Painting plastic skins?? I've used a white plastic primer straight onto the skins with no other prep work other than a degrease, then straight on with the Krylon followed by a couple of clear coats. The stocks taken some use and abuse and is holding up extremely well. Never going to be as...

    Re: On 308 Remington Tactical, a work in progress Good write up Niles, I like what you've done with the stock rifle and clearly its a shooter! I've got an SPS tact in .308 too (as well as a .223) and almost gone down a similar route, however mine wears an AICS, rifle basix trigger and has...

    Made it out to 1200 yds

    Re: Made it out to 1200 yds Nice one! Good shooting and nice pics, the countryside looks fantastic and almost looks slightly English too! You'll have the same problem I have at LR - spotting shots. It takes an eagle eye and good follow through to spot any misses in grass. Its actually easier...

    priming tool suggestions for a newB

    Re: priming tool suggestions for a newB I'm a bit biased because I've never used any different but I think the RCBS models are pretty good. I started off with the standard shell holder and tray type but upgraded to the APS strip model - this will do everything from .22H up to .338LM with the...

    belted magnum case

    Re: belted magnum case +1 on the Redding body die, I use it in conjunction with a Lee Collet die for the neck on my 300WM and it works out pretty well. I regularly check for thickness above the belt by sacrificing a case now and again plus paperclip method and have yet to see any excessive...

    Rifle Scopes wierd thing with scope

    Re: wierd thing with scope Are you running a one piece base or two piece? If its a two piece ensure you've got the short action version rather than long action. Other than that check ring alignment.
