    Bore Snake use with precision equipment / Rifles

    Re: Bore Snake use with precision equipment / Rifl Not too long ago I was in my local gun store and noticed a "do-all" cleaning kit made by Remington, it had a segmented brass cleaning rod with it. I bought the kit just for the cleaning rod, its not built for rough use but I figure if I pay...

    chronograph issues

    Re: chronograph issues I used 1" pvc pipe I think it was, its whichever size that you can get 45degree angles for. I just made it like an a-frame house type deal, tall enough to sit on the ground and cover the chrono. I put the smallest tarp I could find on it, folded to fit like a roof and...

    Help! Stripped threads in Ruger 10/22 rcvr!

    Re: Help! Stripped threads in Ruger 10/22 rcvr! When you are drilling and tapping your holes be sure to let the bit/tap pull itself into the hole. If you have to bare down on it much you're probably not straight. Also when your tapping make a couple turns in and back out a turn or so, this...

    chronograph issues

    Re: chronograph issues Ive built something similar, but with PVC pipe and a small tarp strechted over it, it looks like chronograph tent. Its inconsistantly shady where I clock my loads and ever since the "tent" and using the infrared screens exclusively I have had no reading errors. I also...

    Case neck trim length necessity?

    Re: Case neck trim length necessity? Ive been trying to get my muzzle velocity spreads down and decided to trim every time, I figure if every case is the same length that cant hurt consistant resistance on the bullet. Its not alot of effort to do, and you can rule out one variable in iterior...

    Beginning reloader could use some reassurement

    Re: Beginning reloader could use some reassurement I also agree on the cheap digital scale, if your not going to go big on a good digital then a low cost quality balance beam will give you better/more consistant service. Once you have read and understand and can practice safe reloading I...

    How Do You Get Consistant COAL?

    Re: How Do You Get Consistant COAL? Redding Competition bullet seater + Consistent press manipulation = about as good as its going to get, for me anyway. I dont sort bullets and brass cause as much as this stuff costs I aint gonna throw any away anyhow. I figure if I am getting quality...

    Reloading Press

    Re: Reloading Press +1 For the Forster co-ax, I used to have a rockchucker and I like the forster alot better, My runout went down a good bit and like its been said, you can set the dies once and swap them out at will with no ill effect. It has alot of "Power" to, you will flat ruin a case if...

    Forster bench priming tool- Any Count?

    Re: Forster bench priming tool- Any Count? I appreciate the feedback, I was thinking about the Forster cause it looks like it could be pretty quick to use and I wouldnt need to buy shell holders for variuos calibers. Thats a good idea about how to flip the primers, I figured that this tool...

    Forster bench priming tool- Any Count?

    Ive been looking at getting the Forster bench priming tool to add to my collection of reloading crap, cause Im gonna gear up to load for .223/45acp/38special. Ive already got a Siclair priming tool for loading for the bolt rifle but I aint gonna be near as picky about the new calibers that Im...

    TAB gear rifle cover

    Re: TAB gear rifle cover I also have one and love it. Short trips to the range I can just put the rifle in it and put it all in the back of the truck, and I dont have to lug around that huge clunky storm case. It protects all the important stuff on the rifle without all the extra weight and...

    Re: which 1911 if you had around $1500 to spend +1 on the G21SF, I toted a wilson cqb for years and every time that I had to leave it in the truck "like going into work" I would say to myself "If the window gets busted out thats gonna cost me at least $2K to get another wilson" I loved the...

    Re: Glock 32 night site install? I am in the market for a sight tool also and I found a guy over on Glock Talk forum that makes one that will do the straight and slanted side sights and is supposed to be an improvement over the commercial ones. I havent contacted him about one yet but I dont...

    Gunsmithing What boresight do you use

    Re: What boresight do you use I like the eyeball method as well, tried the "Super duper see it at 100yds laser" and that aint all its cracked up to be. But that little laser is handy for setting up the chronograph, just put in the bore, turn it on and use a clip board or something to locate...

    Never loaded before...

    Re: Never loaded before... I dont know what your going to be loading for but if its for rifle accuracy I would highly recommend a book called "Precision Shooting Reloading Guide" I think you can get it from Sinclair, it has great info and gear discussions on all of the popular rifle styles of...

    acculab vic 123 powder under scale??

    Re: acculab vic 123 powder under scale?? I finally figured out with my acculab that it needs to warm up to be stable, I could turn it on cold, drop a 162gr amax on it, come back in 10 minutes and I would have a 180gr amax. But after I let it warm up a little while it works like a charm. I was...

    Reloading for Glock 21sf

    Re: Reloading for Glock 21sf Reckon what it matters if your just matching factory loads and not getting crazy with pressures? Does the barrel know who put the rounds together? I aint being short, but when I get setup to load for my G21SF I'm just gonna try to match a good 230gr ball load the...

    Gunsmithing Dremel tools

    Re: Dremel tools Ive got a dremel with a flex shaft and I reckon its alright for the occasional job but IMHO if a shooter was going to be doing alot work with one he would be better off to get a dedicated setup like the foredom. Every time I use mine I wonder when that shaft is going to come...
