    Annealing and Neck Cleaning

    What issues are brought up by annealing? On another note, I messed up my usual order on a batch just yesterday, I deprimed,wet tumbled cleaned, then I forgot to anneal with my AMP and I sprayed One Shot on cases. So I wiped cases down with alcohol and a towel but the inside still has some lube...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Build on that Tikka action. Get a prefit barrel or have a good barrel chambered in something like 6 mm dasher if you care to switch. That is what I hope to do with my Tikka ctr that I have shot for 2 years in a Bravo chassis, 3000 rounds and it will be due for re-barrel anyway. The action is...

    I don’t think that will work I was just talking to a guy at my range today and he said he tried that no dice so he feeds one at a time. Benchrest anyway so Good luck

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I bought a Bell & Carlson for a 1022 and it was not that smooth where it bedded against to receiver so I had to machine it flat on my drill press with a straight router bit. They are ok but IMO not worth the money. I think a KRG Bravo is a great choice and it is not that heavy. I have my Tikka...

    DIY Brass Marker

    I like to mark mine inside the rim so I find it faster to do it this way. Pretty easy and fast to make the block up.

    PRS rifle build choices

    Update: I am glad I chose to stick with 6.5 CM for now. I like the gun very much, it has a lot more weight to it, the chassis is longer which puts the bipod out front further. Barrel is nice, does not heat up as fast, accurate, stays clean or easy to clean as it is machined very well. My setup...

    Rifle Scopes Arken EP4 6-24 shipping ?

    I got an email that it is on the way shipping label created. I ordered mine before you did, I can't believe I actually took time to calculate that as I ordered in January. So maybe since I am not perpetually dissatisfied and held on hope for this scope, I will eventually have it this week. I...

    Terminus Actions

    here is a picture, best I could do. You can clearly see it and feel it with your finger. Same thing every round that is fired. Seems strange. Maybe it will help me identify my brass at least. ;)

    Terminus Actions

    Is anyone else getting a burr on the rim of the brass from the extractor? I assume it is caused by the extractor. It is brand new lapua 6.5 CM brass to begin with. No other problems I love the Zeus action. It is a slight burr I can feel on every case fired, it is not there beforehand. Thanks

    Tikka T3 Thread

    No, they are not made that way, I have a feeling I got an action where the barrel is not parallel with the top of the action therefore the slope of the rail is off. The CTR comes with a zero rail, I must have got a defective setup. I may know more info once I change out my barrel someday. Like...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    You can certainly get away with a 20 MOA rail to shoot that. As long as you are not dialing way up into the last 10 or so percent of adjustment I think you are fine. I have a tikka ctr 6.5 24" ss barrel and I began with the rail that comes with it. I lost about 10 MOA right off the bat and of...

    expander mandrel case support?

    Sounds good, thanks I will keep trying it with expanding after sizing in order to get the same neck tension. I now have the Imperial dry lube that is with the ceramic spheres, previously I was only dipping the necks into the graphite alone which was probably not good.
