This has always been a problem with the Win featherweights. Usually a good pillar bedding job will help a bunch but the thin barrel heats up so fast, it will always wonder a little. Let is cool and shoot the third shot.....where does it go? Probably where the other two are. Hovis

Mike, I'm glad they have the issues worked out. Have you ever seen one shatter? Hovis

Haven't looked at any in years but I never seen one that was straight. The problems might have gotten fixed, I just don't know. Hovis

The best discription with pictures is in Tony Boyers book. However, there are three measurements. 1. Shoulder to Base length - this shows how much you are pushing the shoulder back for headspace. 2. Shoulder Diameter - this shows how much you are sizing the brass at the shoulder. 3. Base...

One other thing, might want to double check whether or not you have a good seating depth. The single hole on the target (first target) amd the single hole on the sighter are oblong and the ring around the hole isn't even. Sure sign of seating depth being off a little. This will make a load more...

In my opinion, the best upgrade you can do for the chargemaster (besides having good power) is the insert for the powder tube that David Moore makes, he is on 6mmbr.com This replaces the McDonalds straw a lot of people use. I tested it and out of 20 dispenses, I only had one that was .1 light...

Have you checked the balance of the rifle? Any rifle that jumps up in the front is usually one of two things: 1. Rifle out of balance - front to light. 2. Rear bag is sticky to the stock during recoil or rides down. Hovis

We would have been there but the school year was extended because of snow days and Beth drives a bus. School didn't get out until June 6th. She won't let me out of her sight for a whole week with you guys.....can't blame her...lol. Hovis

Dusty, I've never seen one of them used. Who made yours and I've heard there are a couple of different types. thanks Hovis

Jack, This wasn't my brass, I'm just turning and fireforming for him. I've already turned it all (74pcs) and scrapped around 5-6 pcs but that's not including the ones that turned funny. I was going to see how they fireform and hold neck tension. I do have the blue box and can get lot number or...

Depends on whether a stock is painted or not. This is the recommendation by a stocker/painter. 1. Non-painted stock - used hair dryer to warm and use lighter fluid if not easy to remove warm. 2. Painted stocks - Go slow and use lighter fluid. Hovis

Larry came up with it and several people copied his. Someone in the last year or so started making them but I don't remember who. Hovis

I'm going to look some of this over with a loop and see if I can get some idea of what happened. I have gotten a few emails from people stating the same thing I did. I was really hoping, and still am, that this is an isolated problem. Hovis

I just turned some blue box 220 russian for the first time last night. Was something changed? This stuff turned liked crap. Very inconsistant feel in expanding and that carried though on the cutting. I was turning for a .268 NK. 74 pcs Pumpkin expander and turner 1. After expanding, four...

RJM, He mentioned it is a 222 short case. Hovis

If I could only buy one LT32. Why, it can be shot in a variety of temps and humidities, you just have to become knowledgeable about how it reacts. Bascically, - When it's hot and dry, shoot low charges (27.5-28.5) - Cooler and humid, higher charges (29.0-30.5) These are just ranges, my...

Jim, Did you get my email? Kevin Hovis
