    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    When I suggested it, it wasnt necessarily to see when ammo is too big, more of the opposite. Making sure the specific round youre about to fire off isnt going to be stretching longitudinally a gross amount if one gets impatient and shoots it before gauges arrive. I agree whole heartedly that its...

    6.5 creedmoor Headspace Gauge - 8 sites backordered?

    Worst case, take a factory round and add layers of scotch tape to the case head, see how many layers/how much length needs to be added to the case before it wont chamber.

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    The cdg will be just fine, it’s set up for high pressure already. All the arc actions are. Most customs. It’s mainly factory that is a concern.

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    Make sure you have a smaller .062 firing pin vs a larger .080, or at least a tight fitting pin the hole fitment. Helps the thinner small rifle primer material resist cratering and ultimately punctures.

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    Because the are thin cupped and not intended for as high of pressures. The br4 has the thicker cup material so it should be suitable. It’s not the brisance, it’s the ability to hold up to pressure after ignition I’m concerned with.

    Barrel Vise

    I thought I had pictures but I can’t find them, I use a viper on my 1.2 and -1.25 barrels and generally go to 80lbs but I’ve also maxed out the torque wrench at 100 and it held. The issue is factory barrel removal- but it’s gotten off the notorious howa… once I tightened the top clamp bolts down...

    Trigger options..... bix n andy triggertech diamond or timney hit

    The sear and pull weights play together- you need to find the right combination of adjustment to each to get the optimal trigger pull for your particular action. Generally the lighter the pull weight the more sear you will need to maintain fall safe. But too much sear leads to creep. Goldilocks...
