    Gunsmithing How Much Direct Heat - breakdown Red LockTight

    Re: How Much Direct Heat - breakdown Red LockTight I generally just warm the parts up till you can touch them but not hold them and that is enough to soften it. In my line of work I do this on a daily basis, you just need to soften it not liquify it. Direct flame, moving back and forth over...

    Gunsmithing 338 bore diameter

    Re: 338 bore diameter I just had a Brux .338 barrel in the lathe for a 338 RUM and .3304 was perfect with .3306 a little on the tight side.

    .300 Edge

    Re: .300 Edge It would appear you don't have a 338 Edge if the shoulder angle and case taper is anything other than a 300 RUM necked to 338.

    Re: cold bore shot, how long ... I've had a couple rifles with definite cold bore issues but all were solved by truing the actions and getting rid of as much of the mechanical stress as I could. A mechanical cold bore issue will show up within a shot or two with a POI change irregardless of...

    Re: First chamber job It sure is a great feeling to get the first done!! I recently did my first chambering job that came out better than I had even hoped, every thing went smooth but putting that reamer in for the first time made my stomach turn over! Pulling the trigger on it is a very...

    wsm's

    Re: wsm's The 270 WSM is quite capable of shooting to 1000+yrds with easy and get there is a hurry. I frequently shoot out to the 1450 yrd mark without much trouble with 140 and 150gr bullets. Starting this weekend we'll see how the 165 Matrix shoots, also have some 169.5 Wildcats that should...

    Matrix ballistics 6mm 117grain

    Re: Matrix ballistics 6mm 117grain They list the BC as a "static" BC, I'm thinking that is just a calculated BC. If you look at them they are more or less built like the Berger, J4 jacket and VLD design so they should be similar to the Berger in BC IMO. Bullet Data Check out the data Litz...

    Matrix ballistics 6mm 117grain

    Re: Matrix ballistics 6mm 117grain I think Litz ran some of the Matrix bullets in some testing. I've got some of the 165 .277 cals to shoot as soon as I have a chambered barrel, word is they are good but not covered in pixie dust.

    Hunting & Fishing Debone a deer in 8 minutes

    Re: Debone a deer in 8 minutes You want the 3in boning hook, the larger 4 or 5 in are worthless for breaking. Remember to respect the hook, you can bury one in yourself just as easy cutting yourself with a knife, been there have the scares to show for it!!!

    Re: Debone a deer in 8 minutes He did that very well!!! I used to cut in a nearly identical way with a few different movements but found a faster way that was not as brutal on the body. His knife is so sharp that all you feel when you run it though your arm is a little pressure, he can most...

    Re: Jet Lathe problems (threading) I recently started getting the hang of it also, take a look at Bob's channel on YouTube and find his threading series, it cleared it up for me and I knocked out some good threads after watching. Nothing beats turning out your own work and have it look...

    Gunsmithing Jet Lathe problems (threading)

    Re: Jet Lathe problems (threading) I recently was threading 24 tpi and during a practice run I engage the half nuts on all the even threads just to check and see how it came out so I knew how the lathe was working. It came out good on all even numbers and I found out that my natural rhythm...

    Gunsmithing Getting a lathe ..... now what?

    Re: Getting a lathe ..... now what? I've been using HSS inserts and tools from A.R. Warner, cheaper than carbide very nice finish at lower speed when threading, for me anyway. And you can buy inserts in any quantity which I like since I don't hammer them that bad I need 10 at a whack. Nice...

    Re: All around caliber Fast twist 270 WSM, 110gr to 175 gr bullets! 338 Norma is in hot contention though. Fully agree with the 308 guys, burning a barrel of every year is tiresome!!!
