    Gunsmithing Totally awesome barreling and action truing system

    Re: Totally awesome barreling and action truing system Anyone tried using brass 5c emergency collets held in a hexagonal (or square, depending on the chuck) collet block? I'm mulling over if the time saved starting with an emergency collet would be worth the $20 cost.

    Gunsmithing CAD/CAM to learn on??

    Re: CAD/CAM to learn on?? You can do a whole lot with the Alibre Design Personal Edition, it's only $99-$199 (I forget which offhand). Unfortunately you'll still need a CAM package with it and I haven't found a low-cost option for that I was pleased with. In the end I went ahead and dropped...

    Rifle Scopes ARD/sunshade?

    Re: ARD/sunshade? If you get one of the ARDs that is an inch thick or so (like USO makes or some of the nicer screw-on Tenebrex) then it can be as effective at cutting indirect glare as a sunshade that's twice a long. Getting the ones that just clip onto the end of your objective like a...

    Whats the difference?

    Re: Whats the difference? The VLD bullets have a very long nose with the ogieve sitting much further back on the bullet. Consequently sometimes they will actually be too long for standard seater stems in that the tip of the bullet will run into the back of the stem rather than have the stem...

    Gunsmithing Buying a Lathe as a newbie...

    Re: Buying a Lathe as a newbie... The other problem with most good old american lathes is that the headstock is so wide that it takes a 26" barrel or more to feel all the way through and into a spider. So trying to do anything on shorter barrels becomes a PITA. I looked at this for quite...

    .260 in aics mag. can you reach the rifling?

    Re: .260 in aics mag. can you reach the rifling? I don't know what you plan on doing with this gun and this is just my opinion, but I don't think it's a great idea to develop a load designed to touch the rifling for a gun used in practical long range matches or field use. Especially not to...

    .260 in aics mag. can you reach the rifling?

    Re: .260 in aics mag. can you reach the rifling? How much neck tension did you have? If it was enough to seat it back and then stay in place when you extracted, most likely it was just jamming the bullet into the lands. Get a Hornady (Stoney Point) gauge and measure what the actual distance...

    Looking for a case trimmer

    Re: Looking for a case trimmer I have a Giraud and it's great but I honestly am liking the output of the WFT a little better, plus it costs abput the same as a cutting head for the giraud. I've found it works best for me by holding it in a static (non moving) chuck and then putting the case...
