Thanks, tracked the South Bend manual back to 1935 on Amazon. Lock comCollege apparently only had cnc and cad stuff. Have to see if any vocational does evening stuff. Book is actualy South Bend 1914. Lots of time spent on running belts and pulleys, maybe asin water power.

What does anyone recommend as a good starting machinist handbook? I tried seach on the site but it was unrewarding. I think Im looking for something in the class of Machining for Dummies.

limited info. Well the lathe is sitting quietly in my son's garage. Cleaned some of the patina off of it and the only ID is that it's 12" and the SN plate is blank. It was apparently purchase in 1975, so it's an oldie. Tried calling Republic-Lagun but havent made contact yet. Gotta find camera...

Sorry didnt see the first one, thought it was lost.

Going to pick it up tomorrow, and will get some more iso then. Dunno only open it when its cool out. Next we have to assume I can get smart enough to get a picture onto my computer then on the internet. Lastime I did that about 5 years ago, I lost some hair, was yellin' at the puppies and the...

Where was Va state match?

Went to a school surplus auction yesterday and stuck my hand up to scratch ear at wrong moment. Wound up owning a 12" Republic lathe. Price wasnt too bad, I dont think. Question is -Have I done something stupid(had lots practice) or is this a reasonable lathe for a backyard gunsmithing? Might...

Ive been trying to get up and running with a 6x44. New barrel 1:8, respectable maker, 27" cut rifled. Smithed by a most respectable firm. Using H4350 and VV N160 w/ Berger hybrids. Fire 1 clean , times three; then fire 3 then clean repeat..... The groups are 2 shot groups and the copper fouling...

I had planned to start back into 600yd and 1K shooting this year, but delivery times and an extended hospital stay changed the plans. I had gotten some info on loads for the 6x44 in the past but due to all the disruptions the info was lost. Does anyone have any data starting loads ) for the...

Absolutely no doubt about it--standing benches are a life saver. Can almost shoot comfortably. Just don't shoot too much.

Yes to Bridgeville, only in colder months. Id love to get one of the upper line scopes, but to wait til I can afford one means I aint gonna shoot for a while, gotta budget my eyes and age. I did a search on scope power; brands and usually get nothing, but this got lots of replies on power and...

Setting up a 6mm 6-1000 rifle and would like some advice as to what would be the most useful scope for the regimen. I had looked at the last major matches equipt list and there is a wide range of scopes used. Ya know I want a March and can afford a Sightron. Im probably sold on a 8-32, good...

What is the starting load for N160 w/105-107 gr? Im SLOWLY assembling a 6-44 to shoot these bullets and was wondering about some reference data.

Could one of you gentlemen tell men where to find the Bridgeville match schedule posted? The last time I checked there was no calendar information available.

Im working on a heavy bullet 6-44 for 6O0 & 1000yd shooting. Just want a mild mannered, easily handled rifle. Using the6-44 because Id had a lot of experience with it in years past, and Ive got all the hardware to form and load the case. What Im looking for here is some starting loads with...

kostyshyn His barrels will certainly be missed.

Has anyone had anyexperience with Tula primers- some seem to be available at the moment???

Qc Everyones findings seem to agree, if you get a good Savage youget a good Savage. And if you dont you get junk. I think I have 4 of them currently and the BP and hunting grades are great, but the model 12 had 6 serious flaws.:eek: I see others find the same thing. Perhaps its time The market...

The last time I had a set you drinkin' case of horizontal grouping, it turned out to be a bedding issue, cant remember what it was but I beleive it was a tiny discrepancy , like a spec of overflow in the poured bedding. Groups varied from 2" to 4" horizontal and about 1/4" vertical @ 100 yd. A...

Nosler CC Ive been using the .224 dia 80 gr CC in both a 22 BR and a pair of ARs-223. Ive pretty much gone strait to the Noslers and left the SMKs on the shelf. My limited experience suggests the Noslers have a bit better BC. also Shows a bit less "come up" at longer ranges with similar loads...
