    Do the pros use stainless steel pin/wet tumble or Dry Tumble?

    Definitely not a professional but I think I've got and tried every type of brass cleaning gear. I decap all my brass first whatever the case. The SS pin tumbler is the best clean, particularly for really dirty brass. They come out shiny and squeaky clean inside and out but with slightly dinged...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Without even trying it, I want one just because of the work put in to make it look cool. It's rare that engineering and art come together so well (y) When the lefty's are available I'm in for one if there's a way to get it to Australia.

    Bag for brass at the range

    Maybe it was more expensive? It's handy whatever the case (y)

    Bag for brass at the range

    I picked this up at a local hardware store. It's a collapsible gardening bucket, you can set the top at an angle to catch brass and you twist it to close it. It cost about $5.

    Scope>Gun or Scope<Gun

    You need an accurate rifle and a scope that will let you see your hits. I'm pretty happy with my setup now, a Bergara with a K624i. It's won quite a few matches this year. The 50m parallax is a bit of a hassle on close targets but I just dial down the mag and it's plenty good enough. I ran a...

    Introducing The 5-30x56 Match Pro ED

    I'm having a bit of a look at one of these for the rimfire for next year as well. It's currently running a K624i which is awesome but some of those targets under 50m get a little blurry and I don't think I can justify a 318i. I like the big numbers on these turrets for my 50+ year old eyes as...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    I used knitted basalt sleeve on mine, I just slid it onto the tube before winding it. It doesn't seem to have the itching problems of fibreglass and is supposed to take 650 degrees C.

    223 Ackley Improved

    I’m not sure on the freebore numbers, just set a dummy to as far out as I could run it and throated it to suit. There’s a fair bit buzzed out of the front of the mag. With the 88 I’m running 26.3 gn of RL15, ADI brass and a BR4 for just under 2900 in a 25” 1:7 twist. I just put a new barrel on...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Mines throated to put the 88's as far out as possible. I opened up the MDT mags and had to notch the feed ramp but it feeds beautifully and gives a bit more room in the case.

    223 AI powders besides 8208

    I've tried it in mine and it needed to be a fairly compressed load to get close to decent velocity. I run ADI brass, ADI 2206H (H4895) with 80 ELD-M's 25.8gn with a BR4 primer for around 3080fps. I run 26.3 gn RL15 with the 88 ELD-M's, same brass and primer for 2890fps. It's a 7 twist 25" long.

    Airsoft stock for Bergara B14r

    Yes, there's an AT and an AX AICS still being produced to fit Remington footprints. Also an AT-X AICS. None seem to be left hand though :confused:

    Airsoft stock for Bergara B14r

    I changed everything a few times since that photo :) very happy with it now:

    Airsoft stock for Bergara B14r

    The airsoft AICS stocks are junk, you could get away with a 22 that has the magwell attached to the action like a CZ but they're still junk. I've had my Bergara in an AICS, it's cool but a little bum heavy.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I swapped out barrels on mine from the carbon 6BR barrel to a heavy 6 Creedmoor. Should be a bit of fun for a while!

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    I've made a few different ones for mine, mainly so it was short so I could position 6BR cases in a good spot. The latest one I made smaller diameter, around 3/4" on the inside with the outer coils wrapped pretty tightly around the inner ones, 7 1/2 coils in total. It works very well, I had to...

    MPA F-Class Front slider plate.

    I 3D printed one that slides onto the arca rail, it works really well. It's got 1 little 4mm screw at the front to lock it in place.

    Best arca rail attachment with bag ????

    I 3D printed a plate to fit an Area 419 clamp and use a little Warhorse Developments bag on it. It was supposed to be just to try it out before machining a proper one up but it worked so well I didn't bother changing it. I use a waxed canvas Shmedium most of the time but this definitely has its...

    What’s your favorite tripod ?

    I picked up an Artcise AS90 and fitted a Sunwayfoto IB-40 ballhead to it. For the price it's a brilliant bit of gear. I had to make a spacer ring to fit the ballhead into the 90mm base but I imagine you could buy them. The tripod is as solid as they come and quick to deploy. It is big, but...
