I think so, though the dies that do screw into the press seem harder...but that may just be my perception because the seating dies with the damaged threads are black and the dies that do screw in are more of a grey. Good call on the tap. I originally thought that would solve it but when the...

I'm looking for the correct die size to use to chase threads on my RCBS micrometer seating dies. I bought a 7/8 - 14 NF and it doesn't seem to work. I also tried it on dies with perfect threads and it won't screw on. If you are wondering why: I bought a Lee Classic press to use just for...

The turret definitely lifts but the lift is consistent-topping out at the same spot each time. It is very convenient to use how you stated and to add more turrets with more dies. I recently bought a Lee single stage to use only for the seater, leaving the mandrel and neck sizer on the turret...

Jury is still out but shows promise Thank You Wilbur Fortunately, UPS was able to track it down by the following afternoon. I assembled the barrel to the action and all went very smoothly, then finished up the rifle with a standard benchrest setup: PredatorV Action and supplied rail, Right...

update I know you all have been waiting at the edge our your seat for an update! Criterion made me a new barrel to the PredatorV specs, completed it in the time frame they projected and were super awesome and helpful the couple of times I called. Seems like a terrific company culture. During...

+1 on Sinclair ...if you go with that style. I'm very happy with it. I paid 600 and saw them recently for 550, though they are back up to 700. I also have the DR Greenlaw adjustable bag top http://www.drgreenlawmachining.com/adjustable_bag_windage_top . I plan to get the non-windage version...

+1 on the precision rifle blog article(s) - very informative!

Gentlemen, Looks like you were a step ahead of me. I didn't receive any emails that there were new responses and missed the last few posts (including the one from CBI-- Thank you!)- I just happened to log in today to post an update. Indeed, this action is a single shot, has a coned bolt and...

I think you may have nailed it Nick about compatibility. More rookie stuff on my part but it appears the bolt head is oversized. I took the bolt out of another action and all seems well. This bolt tapers from the front of the lug down to the front end and doesn't seem to fit far enough into the...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes the bolt hits the barrel before the bullet/gauge is seated enough into the bolt. I took some measurements based on a PM I received. It appears there is a gap of about .050 between the bolt face and the no go gauge when the bolt is up against the barrel. I took a...

Hi, I measure just the rim, from the base to the edge below the ogive and total length. I thought there may be something wrong with it, so I was trying to be thorough, though now I think I found the culprit. Thanks!

Thank you. After spending more time with it I removed the barrel and realized the bolt is up against the barrel and still won't fire. When chambered, the brass is slightly recessed compared with the edge of the barrel. I'm not sure where it should be but since the bolt head tapers and fits into...

just answered my own question primed 308 brass for a different gun and it fired. Now to figure out the issue....

I have a somewhat rookie question: I am building a 6BR Norma with a Criterion Rem/Age barrel. I can turn the barrel in the action to the point I can barely close the bolt and it will still close with the no go. I measured the gauge and it is longer than the go gauge. I monkeyed around with this...
