Most merchants with good history have their rates negotiated down to something like 2%, mines been there for years.

Richard, what contour do you start with that requires you to flute 14 oz out of them? Thanks, and how many flutes and what size are they? Have often thought a fluted barrel may cool faster than a smooth unfluted barrel.

Mike, do you know of any tuners that are available for unlimited centerfire rifles? My rail barrel is 1.350" I could turn it down for one of your tuners but if I could leave pretty fat that would be preferable. I've seen many different homemade tuners on rails that are nothing more than...

There are a host of known loads that work well in the commonly used cartridges in SR BR. For example if a 6ppc won't shoot with 27.2 of LT31 and a light jamb on the bullet, then it likely won't shoot. There are also know loads with old school T32, N133 etc. As a general rule adjust the tuner...

This!! I also have some Carmex tools with full profile inserts that works well too, but the HSS gets the nod. If you buy one of their threading tools, it will come with two inserts, use the correct inserts it will work very well.

I need a couple of quarts, bring plenty!!

Gentlemen, thanks for all the input on this, I can swipe some felt out of my wife's sewing room and probably use some long connection nuts and a couple of bolts for screw jacks.

I'm not really sure but the only difference between the SR match and the SR205's is the match primers have been inspected to make sure they have an anvil in them. I usually shoot the SR205's and look to make sure they have an anvil. In something like 7500 primers I haven't seen a standard...

Thanks Justin, very useful information!

Would you guys that do stock work in a mill post some pics of the holding fixture and tooling you use to do this kind of work? Thanks in advance!!

Exactly the reality I live with in Colorado.

After growing up working on old South Bends, Atlas's, and Clausing's I would say that they aren't even close to a new decent Chinese lathe like a GO709 from Grizzly. The 709 required some work to make it smooth, new start and run capacitors, the link belts and had to remove the sheave on the...

You can buy it in a stick too, carry it in my range box.

Nice work!!

I suggest you email her sorry, you know what, every day.

A little update on the Howa Mini action. Turned a mandrel yesterday and did some checking on the receiver face where the tenon faces up, had .002 TIR the bolt face in the receiver had .001 TIR. Don't think I'll do a thing to the bolt lug recess except to lap it in, a light cut on the receiver...

Well, know what you struggle with--me too. I've built several 6.5 grendal ar's and would say they are very impressive on that platform. For an autoloader they are surprisingly accurate not to mention easy to shoot at ranges out to 800 yds or so. Out here in the west they get blown around...

This!! After jacking around for 2 years I took a course, it was priceless, best $800 I've ever spent. With what you know right now you'll be ahead of most of the other students and in a good position to learn some real useful stuff from the instructor.

Scored a mill the other day, it's a Bridgeport Clone 9X42. Now I need to rearrange my shop and make room for it, does anyone have an idea about how much of a footprint I need for this machine?

Got sent home from lathe class during last years spring semester for leaving the chuck key in the chuck. Third time was the charm!
