    Chasing the lands?

    I know it varies depending on several factors, but could anybody give me some numbers you've experienced on extending seating depth in relation to increasing round count? Numbers on the 6.5x47L in particular would be great. Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Timney 510 question

    I put a 510 in a 700 yesterday and I noticed the sear seems to be putting a lot of upward pressure on the bolt. Anybody ever notice this? I have one other Timney and the bolt is smooth as silk on that action.

    Lumimox "Navy Seal" watch questions

    OK, I got a Luminox "Seal" watch for Christmas in 2006. I know they have a not-so-good rep here, but it was a very nice gift at the time and it worked flawlessly for 3 years. Then all of a sudden it started losing several minutes a day. That was a year short of the advertised battery life of 4...

    Another annealling question.

    OK, I'm setting up a Giraud annealer for the first time. I have several pieces of Winchester .243 brass that I'm using to set the flame and time on the machine before I do 150 rounds of Lapua .260 brass. I'm using 750 degree Tempilaq on the inside of the case necks and I'm following the Giraud...

    Where does annealing fit in?

    I'm thinking: Anneal first, then size, then tumble, them clean primer pockets, then trim, then prime, and then load. That way the annealed brass gets the full benefit from the sizing, and the trimming is done after the sizing lengthens the case. Is there a better way? Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes S&B click increments?

    I've been looking at S&B scopes lately, and I noticed the adjustment increments are shown per 100 meters, instead of the 100 yards I've always been used to dealing with. Does that mean I'll need to set the rangefinder to meters, change the setting in the ballistics program, and convert all of...

    Giraud annealer questions

    I've been reading some of the older posts on the Giraud, and I have a couple of questions for the folks that are using Giraud annealers. 1. Could somebody please post some pictures of the regulator modification for the more consistent gas flow, and 2. Is the Temp-i-Laq set-up needed every...

    Another "atta-boy" for Steve at Triad Tactical

    After struggling with a credit card denial on an online order at Triad this morning, I called Steve and left him a message. My phone rang less than 20 minutes later. It took about 3 minutes for Steve to get the security settings problem lined out, and my order went through as slick as boiled owl...

    Range Report 105 Hybrid in Shooter app?

    Has the 105 Berger Hybrid been added to the bullet library in the Shooter app? I'm pretty sure I'm running the current version and I can't find it.

    GA Precision stamp?

    "MH" and the last 4 digits of the serial number? No emblem stamp, just the initials. Would it be Matt Hoch, Mark Hall, or somebody else? Thanks!

    Tightening up ES and SD numbers?

    Well, I shot some rounds through a new chronograph at the range today, and let's just say the results were, uhhhhhhh, enlightening and informative. If the SD and ES numbers aren't where they need to be, where do you start trying to make them better? I've got some different primers on the way as...

    Forming 6x47L brass?

    Well, I got a new set of Forster 6x47L dies today, so I thought I'd tinker around with forming some brass for the rifle that'll be ready in a month or so. I set the die to touch the shell holder and lubed a 6.5x47 case inside and out and ran it into the die. It came out with a partially sized...

    Altering AICS mags?

    If you drill out the 2 spot welds in the front of an AI mag and remove the reinforcement plate, will the seam still hold the mag together?

    GAP smith stamp?

    Which smith at GAP has a stamp that looks like a "W" with the 2 uprights pinched in at the top? I can't find it on the GAP site, and I can't get any results in a search. Bill Tompkins doesn't have his mark on his profile, and I'm thinking it's him. Anybody know for sure? Thanks!

    Bump gauge on 6.5x47 L?

    I'm trying to bump the shoulder back on my first batch of (once-fired) 6.5x47 L brass. I'm using the Sinclair #30 insert for the 30 degree shoulder, but the neck of the fired case won't fit through the hole in the insert. The new brass fits snug, and I can get a shoulder measurement on it, but I...
