    My new 6XC Tubegun

    Re: My new 6XC Tubegun Diggler44, you are going to love the Eliseo. Both my wife & i have shoulder issues; a matched pair i guess. She has been using my .223 bolt gun this summer, can't handle the recoil of anything else. Next spring i plan i getting her behind the Eliseo; she won't go out...

    TC varmint rifles

    Re: TC varmint rifles I won a TC icon in a raffle, the trigger is ok a little bit heavy for me but has a clean break. W/O any load development it grouped 1/2" on 3 rounds which is factory spec if i remember correctly. My son has laid claim to this one. I had him prep all of the brass & load...

    My new 6XC Tubegun

    Re: My new 6XC Tubegun For years i've shot off of an uncle buds bull bag in front & a rear sand bag. This year i decided to start using my bipods exclusively with a rear bean bag. I can't haul the weight of my sandbags anymore unless my son goes with me. He prefers to leave the sandbags at...

    My new 6XC Tubegun

    Re: My new 6XC Tubegun wnroscoe: Recoil is a beast! Similar to the recoil of a .223 bolt. With my crappy scale it weighs approx 20 pounds. The barrel is 1.25" for 5" then a straight taper to 1" at the muzzle. I needed minimal recoil due to shoulder issues & this accomplishes that. Chiller...

    Rifle Scopes Good Torque Wrench

    Re: Good Torque Wrench Get the Borka tools torque wrench, works exceptionally well. I've been using it for the last few months on everything i can find that needs to be torqued. Boris has great service! Can't beat it for the price & quality & it fits into your range bag or case.

    45 acp brass question

    Re: 45 acp brass question I use a dillon 650 & never clean primer pockets. I just tumble & load for pistol. Corn cob will clean cases but walnut hull will clean them quicker. Corn cob leaves a high polish & walnut leaves a satin finish. Never had crud in the cases after tumbling but i leave...

    Progressive Relaoding

    Re: Progressive Relaoding I use the Dillon 650 with great results. I can't compare other models but the quick change tool heads are a must for me. I have 4 tool heads setup. Changeover only takes 5 min or less between the different calibers. I don't have much time for reloading so quick easy...

    243 barrel

    Re: 243 barrel Besides the longer freebore there should a different lead angle from what i remember during my discussions with PTG on my 6XC DTAC reamer. With that said i successfully used 107 SMK's for my first 100 & they worked great. The 243 reamer for the 115's should be the same...
