Thanks Steve, I had a good day. I was also happy to see John S do well on his first ever benchrest shoot. After the 3rd target he had me tied. Great job John S!

Good job Butch and with bullets you never tried before. Better stock up on them!

See if this works. Is this the one?

What is your question Steve?

Not that I can see for now. I sure do miss it though.

Dominic wins by 2 points. Way to go!

Thanks Hunter for posting! Congratulations Carlos! Pretty impressive agg! Jeff Summers didn't make it easy for you!

PMA TOOL

In the case of it being a left hand action the bolt is not closing enough, I would definitely start with a good cleaning of the action and bolt. Also check the firing pin and spring shroud for binding with the spring.

There is no toilet paper!!

Pretty close scores. Looks like a great time was had.

Congrats Ron and nice come back Tim!

Congratulations Dana!! I bet that was a good feeling to win one!

Sorry to hear this about Pat. He was a great competitor and a great guy. He will be missed.

I would think .268 would be good or even .2675. This area is the spot that usually centers up the case in the chamber to hold the bullet in alignment with the bore.

The reamer, if your operation is set up correctly, should ream the die to the exact dimensions. You only want it to be approx. .003" under depending on your preference of sizing... .012" is to much by far. You would be better off with standard dies of the shelf.

If you are using a bushing die than you just order the size bushings needed, usually for a .268 neck it would be .262-.264 bushing depending on your neck wall thickness and tension desired. I would find -.012 to be excessive sizing on anything related to reloading.

Thanks Jerry. I always did this while fire forming brass for the new barrel and after 10 firings would check the bullet jam and record this # for the barrel. I have noticed with the .268 -270 neck dia. that with the double ogive bullets and tight neck tension you can almost shove the bullet in...

Not that long ago when testing seating depth it was recommended to start at jam and work your way in. Nowadays everyone is talking about working from the touch point and working your way out. What changed? Why?

Ben, I would think 2 tenthousandths would be sufficient.
