    Anyone shooting a lilja 3 grove barrel?

    As far as I am concerned Lilja make one of the best barrels made. The 3 grove is a good barrel in smaller calibers and they seem to improve barrel life on high velocity varmint cartridges. also my experience with the 3 groove it that they seem faster with the same load. I have three rifles...

    Web Site help.

    We have already done test to compare the factory brake to the Assassin and It out performed in every way. improving the shoot ability of the 50BMG was the purpose of designing a new type of brake. I will have another test coming soon with a fully tuned Assassin to see how much more it can...

    conventional stock vs chassis?

    I do a full action bed to hold the action without any movement during heating up or cooling down. I like to use Steel Bed or something similar like Devcon. That seems to be the best for cold bore shot consistency. A full bed also helps to prevent action flexing when torqued if a torque free...

    Tubb's final finish?

    +1 Do a break-en first, (Shoot and clean, shoot and clean)until the patches come clean after two or three patching's. As mentioned, shoot it first and after 75 to 100 shots if it is not coming clean or accurate enough you can try fire lapping as a last resort. J E CUSTOM

    conventional stock vs chassis?

    In my opinion all stocks need bedding. You may have good results with just dropping the action is and torqueing it down, But I find that bedding them makes them more consistent rifle to rifle. I look at the block as a good foundation to build on, and bedding it assures a perfect fit...

    Gain twist

    +1 This has been tried and tried again and is still not the new standard for rifle barrels. It is also not a new idea. at the turn of the century the Germans tried it and again in the second world war they took another run at it In the really big guns (Like the Paris gun) because of the size...

    Gain twist

    Gain twist are thought to be easer on bullets because they start the bullet rotating slower initially and increase as the bullet passes down the barrel To reach the best twist rate for the heavier bullets. With ever more velocity and heaver bullets starting a bullet rotating in a fast twist...

    Gearing up for a new build, 6.5 x 47

    I have built quite a few 6.5x47s and they are great cartridges and performers. None have used all the same parts as you but with good assembly and craftsmanship the 6.5x47 will impress you. J R CUSTOM

    Remington 700 tolerances

    +1 I made my self a set of mandrels 8" long with two sizes (half with one size and the other half .001 thousandths larger). starting at .700 and going up to .708 to test the receivers bore. It is easy to measure the bolt (Take one reading at 12 O'Clock and one at 3, 6, and 9 every 2 inches to...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    I personally don't like the rear locking lugs on anything, but there have been some fine shooting rifles with this type of action. With the advent of high pressure cartridges (55,000 to 65,000 Psi) I don't think they will ever do a comeback. PS; I did not separate your questions and posted my...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    I would not say that some people hate Savages. Everyone has there favorite action for many reasons. I build lots of custom rifles on many different actions and find them to be good if properly blue printed and assembled. All factory actions have problems. I have never blue printed any action...

    Remington 700 tolerances

    +1 The bolt is usually .699 and the action should be .701 to .702. It is very hard to measure an action bore with different manderls that goes all the way through the action. they are normally larger at the very back from being worked with the bolt all the way out (That Is where most of...

    Good news for the large bolt action crowd.

    Sounds like a great project ! I don't know much about the DTC but would like to know more on your build, What action, barrel, cases and bullets you are going to use? I have Dave mansion cutting me a reamer for my new 338 project (A 375 RUM case pushed to its capacity limits of 119 grains case...

    Good news for the large bolt action crowd.

    I have been doing more test on the Assassin Muzzle brake and some of the results are in. The original design of the Assassin was for the 50 BMG M82A1 Barrett and had to function in a recoil action. After tuning recoil is reduced enough to render the M 82 A1 inoperable, the good news is...

    Seeing the hit

    There is no doubt that the abuse will be less when shot off hand or off a soft rest, but the down force will still be present. The next time we set up to test I will try to see if we can see any perceivable flexing of the stock or the barrel while shooting without a lead sled. As we know it...
