    Kinda vintage -- in a way, question

    Thanks Packrat, I thought that was the case but memory was foggy. I called Joe, but his memory is worse than mine. Get calls to "make" this or that of old cartridges and explain we only remake from existing parent brass via the dies we make. After wildcatting, it's ready to win matches...

    Kinda vintage -- in a way, question

    Ken Howell in 95 published Custom Cartridges and wrote about volume two being in the works. Anyone know if volume two ever made it to the printer?? I have signed copy #400 of vol. one and would like vol. 2 if it exists. A handy reference source for odd ball shit \ Thanks Alan

    Does anyone have a blueprint showing the location of the side mount iron sight holes for the Rem 700?

    Too late. You are self f---ked dip shit. Too bad Frank doesn't require users to use their real names. The most fun being in the trade is to fire a customer. Gotta like the ignore button.

    F-Class Instruction.

    First, FTR is 308 or 223 with a bipod with no bullet restriction. Any other cal is F Open with a front rest. You can still use a bipod, but you will be at a slight disadvantage. Once you have a rifle that groups inside 1/2 min minimum ( 1/ 4 is better) you are ready for a mentor. Rifle handling...

    How to wildcat/shorten parent case?

    I can help you out with advise from a lot of years of die making and brass manipulation but this typing it all out sucks. Call me and I'll offer what I can. Just finished up a very similar 500 pc lot of just what you describe. Peterson brass, 37 + shoulder. Needs to be moved incrementally. Alan
