    Agreed. What twist are you using for the 153.5 grain LRHT? Thanks.

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    You know it is possible they might have changed their verbiage over the years with regard to metals. Years back I had called and asked specifically about aluminum for wheels and engines and they said Purple was the one to use. They touted it for stainless steel range hoods, etc. which is why I...

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    Thanks for the info. I run it diluted in tap water temperature, and haven't had a problem. What's odd is it is their recommendation for cleaning aluminum engines, and they suggest against using the Green formula for cleaning aluminum engines, as per a call to their tech people. It could have...

    Barrel wear Vs velocity/weight/energy

    2-3K out of a $4,000 set of tires? No disrespect but I'd be trading that in or selling it.

    300 Norma

    Rather than start another thread I have a question which fits in here. If not @mods please delete my post. I have a Stiller Predator action when Stiller first started making them, it has the 338 Lapua bolt. Aside from limited stock selections, are there any problems using that action for a 300...

    Barrel wear Vs velocity/weight/energy

    The 308 Win is relatively easy on barrels, especially if you don't get it hot. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

    Do you clean before load development ?

    I clean my rifles after shooting them, so in your case with 300 rounds through it, it was clean when I put it away. At 300 rounds I have a load for it, unless I'm working with a new bullet or another powder.

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    You were taught by some of the best, and people who had good work ethics. Your last line says it all: "Today's people not so much...they are waiting on the "new plan" robots to do the work, and a personal monthly income check from the government for just being alive." Especially the personal...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    Years ago I experimented with expanding from time to time. What I learned was there was a sweet spot, meaning lets say I typically ran a four man crew, I learned that crew was the most profitable and efficient. Once we got to lets say a six man crew I became a full time baby sitter. That meant...
