    Case neck lubing

    only way to determine if it works is try it for yourself and measure the results. It maybe different for you vs others.

    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    I’ve read that if you use a 308 or 270 small base die it will just size the head of the cause with out sizing the upper half of the brass. This will allow you to use your regular die to bump shoulder and size the neck.

    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    Doesn’t brass have memory especially in the base area? Won’t it go back to the larger size after fired? Meaning the clickers will come back?

    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    Did you use the small base die just once or do you have to constantly use it?

    Runout in size die body - Does it matter? Probably not...

    That would be a great test. Let us know about the results if you do decide to test. For me I got the best groups with the worse concentricity ammo. About .004 off, go figure, I’m never measuring concentricity again. It only drives me insane.

    Interesting as the primer edges are still round and the primer shows cratering. Are you using fed primers?

    I did the exact same thing, I cleaned my bolt and then found this video. Had to disassemble again. I guess it makes for good practice.

    6mm BR

    I made the jump myself and the 6br is crazy accurate and easy to tune. Brass never grows and should be good for an estimated 18 firings or so. I got me a Harrells sizing die and Forster micrometer seater. Annealing I got the annealeez. I hear most guys don’t anneal the 6br. My chamber neck is...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    What would be the cause of a tikka bolt handle bouncing? My tikka bounces about 50% of the time. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my tikka?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Odd question when you guys dry fire a tikka is the bolt handle suppose to bounce like a rem700 or does the handle drop down? I seen a post and can’t find it about the tikka bolt dropping on dry fire. Why would it drop and not bounce? Or vice Versa?

    Bartlein/gunsmithing Question

    The action mfg told me it was out of spec. Didn’t say what was out of spec, but if I had to GUESS it was the bolt face.

    Bartlein/gunsmithing Question

    I had a different experience, I was getting pressure issues and couldn’t figure it out. Tried everything from changing my reloads to different cleaning methods. I’m just a beginner so I called the Bugholes and sent pics of the brass and bolt face. Greg recommended a different cleaning method and...

    Yet another 223 load question...

    I had the same issue with a Tikka T3x loaded .020 off the lands, 77 smk 8208xbr had to back it down to 2600 fps. 2700 fps I was cratering primers using CCI400. I think the load was 23 grains but I can’t remember it’s been a while.
