afrench, This is an easy one.....seating depth. Hovis

Tom...your right but I'm sure this LT32 will work for me, just have to figure it out. Are you airing out any of your powder? Boyd, I learned long ago to never trust the same seating depth for different powders, even different lots of the same powder. I run the full spectrum of testing...

Boyd, I do not shoot V133, at all and haven't since 2005. I am still in the lands but that is the load with my old 8208 that tightened up across the whole powder range....no need to play with any other seating depth. The two bullets I tested are a 67gr FB and a 67gr BT. With the FB, I started...

Heck Lee, you have some of that and don't even know it....lol Hovis

I've been working with this in two guns and can't seem to get the flyers to disappear. It does seem to show potential for me at the low (27.X range) and the higher (29.X range). Just can't get it to settle down in these two new barrels. After several hours of working with it, I went back to a...

Lee, When I worked evening in Germany for Lietz, the parts cleaners for general use had Simple Green in them and if you warmed it, it was even better. There were a couple set up for serious cleaning built up tooling or heavy carbon that had acidtone type cleaner but I never had to use anything...

Your probably right with the start up capacitor. You probably hear it hummm when it's trying to start. You can usually tell when one is bad...either the bottom or (more likely) the top of the capacitor where the connectors are, will buldge. It will look like it's made this way sometimes but if...

Awesome group..congrats. Hope to see a pic soon. Hovis

Don't know what happened to the humor forum thread so I posted this here: An old cowboy walks into a barbershop for a shave and a haircut. He tells the barber he can't get all his whiskers off because his cheeks are wrinkled from age. The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the...

You are correct...Rem 600. Why use a XP? Oh by the way, I hope your talking about a XP100 and not the newer XP100R, it is a Model 7 action. Hovis

If a rifle chamber reamer (in most cases) is reground properly, the deminsions should not change. The reason is most rifle chamber reamers have body taper. Thus, when recutting the leading edge of the throat and the deminsions back to the shoulder, you are in fact setting back the reamer and...

Sad to hear. Prayers for his family and God Bless. Hovis

Jackie is hitting it on the head and there is not much that can be done about it. When the wife and I attend a shoot (closest around 5.5 hrs away) it's around 900.00-1000.00 for the weekend. Just the way it is. Hovis

750.00 to 850.00 depending on condition

Don't forget the 4895's Hovis

I remember when the federal goverment mandated to the states that the maximun speed limit shall be 55. Several states said, "We won't do it". They held out right up to the point the Feds said "No more highway dollars". End of revolt. Hovis

Yeah, I think I'm just going to leave it in the action, shorten it and deal with the rest later. Bummer is, I have two other barrels for this gun (used). I bought this to shoot varmits. Hovis

Rimfire - I prefer fine-cross hair with a 24x or bigger. Centerfire - 36x I prefer dot, 40x plus fine-cross hair With the higher power and fine-cross hair you can hold on a more precise point. That's me. Hovis

Here is a little more info. This is a Rem 40x. It has a custom 30BR barrel on it, no lug, not glued in. I remove the barrelled action from the stock and heated until normal 5-30w oil was smoking well. I had a T-handle rear entry wrench on it and could not get it to budge. I tap it a few hard...

How much heat can be applied to the action to pop a barrel loose. I have ran into the tightest barrel I have ever seen and it's not a factory barrel. thanks Hovis
