Back on line Glad it's up and running again .

I read in a nother forum that ""The 222 with 50-52 gr bullets and 1-12 twist is where it earned its reputation as a tack-driver, "" I allways though it was a 1:14 twist that made a 222 a tack driver ?

Well I guess I had a lot to learn . But now that I don't have a lathe anymore and have to depend of someone else to chamber my barrel maybe I will be able to shoot better ? LOL I'm not a gunsmith just a tinker I do have a couple guns that will shoot in the high .100's and sometimes get in the...

Butch Lambert , I don't know if you remember who I am but you really helped me years ago when i did my first chamber job and made my own dies ( you give me a die blank ) and my own form dies it was all a big job for a newby . But I got the gun done and was able to usely get 3 shots at 1 inch...

I never used a steady rest , But if I did , what makes the difference if the bore is true or not to the OD ?? I think dialing in the throat area and the muzzle using a chuck and spider , then pre-boring, is one of the better ways . (( Not better )) , BUT the best way.. I have never heard of a...

I never used s steady rest , but why can't the bore run true even if not true to the OD . The bore can be trued the same as truing up in a chuck . I'd say it would be hard to find a bore that is really true to the OD .

When I had my lathe I dialed in the Chamber throught the bore and I'm slow it took me a day and half ( I'm no machinist ) but when I was done chambering a .0005 indicator showed no movement . And did the same on the crown . The guns shot very good if I was not shooting in a match . So now that...

Yesterday I watched a video on chamber a barrel a popular gunsmith chamber a barrel and he only indecated off the out side of the barrel and NOT the bore . Now that scares me about having someone chanbering a barrel for me . It needs to be indecated off the bore on both the chamber and the...

I'd have to say shoot it in a match or it is BULL **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** !!!

Base to ogive dimension is what I'm checking checking for . I'm using a gauge that I made with my chamber reamer and a Mitutoyo .001 Dial indicater . I have checked the same bullets about 5 times to make sure that I'm checking them right , and the same bullets check the same every time ...

Do any of you check the bearing length of your bullets ? I just checked some custom bullets that I have . And from one maker they run .073 . 065 .075 ,085 and I checked them 3 times . Also I checked Berger bullets and they were all within .002 of eack other . guess Ill be only be using Berger...

This was taken from "Benchrest shooting and Gunsmithing " Scott Haywood siad . I’ve got several Bats with weights added, one is a 3L that Dwight Scott worked over, another one is a B that I got from a very well known West TX shooter that he won the WBC with. Bat is now making firing pins at...

Sorry it was on Facebook "Benchrest shooting and Gunsmithing " is where I read it . Tony Boyer was shooting a match with a weighted firyng pin . They talked like slow lock time was not a problem when shooting off a bench . Butch Lambert said Mine was modified by Dwight Scott. A lightened or...

Have any of you experimented with adding weight to a firing pin? I just read some about it on Accurate Shooting for benchrest only .
