Here is a link to the YouTube video by Stan Ware on bolt timing. You can get to all of his videos from this page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFlKuj2La_0

It is not that simple. You need to maintain a little gap in the dry fired position of the pin, between the front of the cocking piece and the bottom of the cocking cam notch. Since the existing gap is less than .050, moving the hole as you mentioned would result in the pin fall being reduced by...

My early Viper came with .200 with a HVR Jewell. Sometime after I got it, Jerry told me that he feels that there is no substitute for enough pin fall, and that he recommended turning the trigger hanger around to gain some. I did that, and after had filing a matching clearance not in the other...

If it ain't broke....

I don't know why anyone has any issue measuring firing pin fall on a 700. If you take all measurements with the trigger in, and the bolt closed, all you have to do is measure from the back of the cocking piece to the back of the shroud. If the cocking piece sticks out of the back of the shroud...

Not quite coaching, but related: I think that many would benefit from videoing themselves shooting. A while back I was trying to help someone more than half way across the country. At my suggesting he set up his phone on the bench next to his and videoed himself taking several shots, and emailed...

According to reports, it will take bluing right off, and I am not sure about other metal coatings.

This can vary significantly from rifle to rifle. Finding the combination of how a gun likes to be handled, and how it likes to be rested requires experimentation. It is a range thing, that cannot really be done properly by consensus.

Great news! Wilbur, get well soon. Look forward to updates. Boyd

I just got off of the phone with them and it is strain gauge.

Because for not that much more, I could have a magnetic force restoration scale. https://www.oldwillknottscales.com/store/shopCart.aspx

I looked at the features PDF and unless I misunderstood the abreviation, SG refers to strain gauge. Personally I would never invest that much in a SG scale.

I had someone who has been well known for die work open up the shoulder of a PPC die and when I got it back, with a $60 bill that I paid, it was effectively ruined because of the runout of the sized cases. This was a long time ago, but based on that I think that I would stick with opening up the...

I use a top loading case, with no drawers, that Harbor Freight used to sell. It resembles a pilot's case. With everything for loading, including a couple of powders and my whole Chapman screwdriver set, it is quite full and weighs about 35#. I have small, snap on lid plastic boxes that fit...

I would not use Bullseye for the Beggs, but for the PPC, in the past, I have filled the .220 Russian cases half way up the shoulder with Bullseye and used a 3/4" square of ordinary kitchen towel as a plug. I center the square on the case mouth and use long leg of a small Allen wrench to push it...

My friend Gary Ocock holds several current records (short range group) both NBRSA and IBS. He throws all of his charges, including when he is shooting 133.

Years ago, they built me just the reinforced bag that I asked for. Mine has an arched profile running from front to back. I shot it for a while, and decided that for my rifle, that a softer bag shot better. The work was impeccable, but my idea did not work out. Perhaps for a different rifle it...

IMO this is someone trying to convince the viewer that a problem exists order to sell the "solution". Related story: Years ago I had occasion to get to know John Illum, who manufactured Rampro actions. Those actions got their start as part of bolt action unlimited silhouette pistols that he...
