    I need to buy a roll pin punch for the Remington 700 trigger assembly roll pins. What is the diameter of these pins? Your recommendation for a good punch that will go all the way through?

    Giraud or Gracey Trimmer?

    Re: Giraud or Gracey Trimmer? Giraud here. Trimmed 400 .308 cases in one hour the other day. No more sore hands and fingers and each case is perfectly trimmed. Will never trim any other way. As the previous poster mentioned... it really is that good. The machine is a high quality...

    SS media better than Ultra-Sonic "No Voters"

    Re: SS media better than Ultra-Sonic "No Voters" I have been using the stainless steel method for quite awhile now. Although I like the process and the results, case mouth peening has been problematic. Now that I use a Girard trimmer, it is even more apparent because of the finer chamfered...

    barrel fouling, pressure and accuracy

    Re: barrel fouling, pressure and accuracy You are not really getting the bore clean. Use a brush. Patches alone just don't clean well. After the bore is scrubbed (one stroke for each shot) and patched dry, use some bore paste and give it a go about every 100-200 rounds. Clean the bore at...

    155 Lapua

    Re: 155 Lapua Heavier is better for me. I shoot the Berger 185 BT LR and launch them with 41.6grs. of Varget. MV is in the 2580 range and I have alot more left at 1000 than the 155 guys who are burning up their barrels. Don't believe everything you read on the internet about 155's. Some...

    What electronic scale?

    Re: What electronic scale? +1 for the chargemaster. Always accurate. I do however check my match loads on a beam scale and they are always right on. As for the Dillon Terminator, it's not a good scale. Within 20-30 seconds it is drifting and needs a new zero. Don't buy one.

    Re: Any air compressor experts around? I use a portable air compressor from Extreme Air. 12v and I carry it in my truck toolbox to air up my tires after coming off the beach from surf fishing. It does double duty for other jobs as well. 3/4 hp, 150psi working pressure and continuous duty...

    Gunsmithing New trigger for 700 5r

    Re: New trigger for 700 5r I really like the Jewell trigger. The only beef I have is the narrow shoe. Maybe someday the Jewell folks will realize that more people than just benchrest shooters are using them. Tip: Make sure you give the Jewel a little more overtravel than what comes from the...

    getting different OAL with each load?

    Re: getting different OAL with each load? Forget OAL. The bullet tips will vary. You are talking .005 variance? Know your bullet seating depth to the lands and measure your rounds to the bullet ogive. Now you are good to go.

    Re: Yes, I know you guys reload mainly rifles, but... Unless you are shooting bulls-eye competition and need your brass perfect, don't worry about it. I've loaded 45 for over 10 years and never have a problem with residual crud in the cases. I shoot IDPA and USPSA and use the Precision 'Black...

    Trouble chambering .308 and .223 handloads

    Re: Trouble chambering .308 and .223 handloads Is this the same brass that you have been shooting from your rifle without problems? If so, it is probably just as simple as a shoulder bump like the previous posters stated. If this is once fired brass from somewhere else, it may need a...
