My only complaint about the Zeiss PRF is that the button can be inadvertently continuously depressed while it's stowed in it's case, even in a range bag. I've blown through a few CR2s (which aren't cheap) because of this. I wish the button was recessed more into the body. To get around this...

Probably about 1250-1300 yds. in clear conditions.

You can still bump the shoulder with no bushing in a bushing die. Some people do this on purpose to use it only as a body die. Both his non-bushing and bushing dies are full-length. It could have just been a mix-up if you ordered the regular die and got a bushing die. I think sometimes the...

Are you sure it's not a bushing die and there is no (or the incorrect) bushing in it?

I would guess you could get away with around 0.105-0.120", but it does vary with bullet (VLD, Hybrid, etc). Best thing is to call Dave Kiff (if you want a PTG reamer) and ask, he is usually very helpful and knowledgeable. I went with a 0.112" for my Dasher, which has a tad shorter neck. I am...

If you can find it, 2000MR will push a 75gr bullet pretty fast, and it meters nicely for progressive presses.

This. Try a field gauge if you have one. Or, take the no-go gauge and put layers of cellophane tape on the end (head) of it until it matches the field length (use calipers and good measuring technique) to make a field-gauge (for 308 or 7.62) and try again. For example, you'll need to add...

Most reamers are HSS though, right? I know you can special order carbide ones, but I'm guessing this isn't the case.

It was mainly tongue-in-cheek. I'm happy for him, but I wouldn't be surprised if the next time he needs primers, the guy before him in the LGS gives a wink to the cashier and gets the last brick. I'm just saying it works both ways.

And we wonder why there is no powder available.

Welcome, from another central PA guy. I'm looking to compete soon at Williamsport too, have a 6 Dasher project in the works.

Another option is to get a chambering reamer with no freebore, then use a throating reamer to cut your freebore to the desired length. You would make a test cartridge with the desired OAL, then incrementally cut the throat until it chambered without jamming - then a small additional depth for...

Took at least 24 hours I think before I felt comfortable removing the action last time I used it. Definitely prefer Devcon.

If I'm not mistaken, the barrel will slide back into the stock during recoil, which I'd imagine could put a few scratches on it right in front of the stock.

Seems like this cartridge is picking up. I don't have any data yet, but I'm having one built now. IIRC my reamer had a 0.160 FB, not much different than yours (especially with the long neck, not much difference).

Now that is pointy!

I know you are referring to those individuals, but don't you think the blame really lies on the people who make these ridiculous laws and interpretations?

I like the 3.5 lbs Rocket connector (~$35) with the overtravel adjustment and a smooth trigger face, if it doesn't already have it.

Would like to know more about this as well. Looking around at lathes now, particularly the G0750G, some Precision Matthews models, and a few others.
