Does fire cracking where the beginning of the bore begins affect accuracy? From that point forward into the throat and rifling the barrel looks pretty good. Just at the junction where the case neck diameter ends (the 90° step up into the bore I have fire cracking around the complete...

After your brass has been fired, what exactly do you guys do to the inside of your case necks to prep them for the next load? I have brushed the inside of the necks a few times with a nylon brush, and I have also brushed the inside of the case necks with a bronze bristle bore brush. Should I be...

Great information guys. Thanks.

I got the idea in my head to use a Forster bushing bump neck sizing die so that I can just bump the shoulder back and avoid resizing the complete case. When I went to seat my bullets with my Sinclair bullet seater die the cases would not enter all the way into the die due to the case being too...

What primer pocket tools do you guys use for primer pocket prep and cleaning? Do you do anything with the primer pockets on new brass? What is your typical cleaning method on the primer pockets of fired cases? Do you clean after every firing?

I am going to start annealing my brass after every one or two firings. Should a person use some steel wool on the outside of the necks to clean off the burnt powder before annealing the brass? Or do you not worry about the burnt powder and just go ahead and anneal the necks?

For you guys that get burnt powder on the outside of your case necks after firing, do you bother cleaning it off before reloading it again? If you do what do you use?

I would like the Benchrest shooter's opinion's on the following questions: 1) How much space is sufficient for brass expansion between the end face of the case neck and the face of the chamber before you start trimming your brass? 2) Do you want as much case neck length that is safely...

Sorry, it is not any of the calibers you mentioned. This is pertaining to my 6.5x47. I am getting serious about wanting to compete with a 30BR build.

My procedure in the order shown for neck sizing and bullet seating prep. is: 1) Lightly lube the outside of the case neck. 2) Size the case neck with a Wilson bushing die. 3) Clean any remaining lube off of outside of case neck. 4) Brush the inside of the case neck a few times with an RCBS...

I am shooting at distances out to 1000 yards, using 40.5 grains of RE17, and shooting 140 grain bullets. I have been using CCI #400 standard small rifle primers for these loads. Should I optimally be using a small rifle magnum primer like the CCI #450 for this load? Thanks for the help.

With Gary Eliseo's tube stocks you are suppose to be able to just slip the action in the sleeve and screw it down without having to glue it in. If you were to install your action this way you would probably want to make use of the recoil disc that comes with the stock. Has anybody here just...

How many lands would you guys recommend for each of the (3) bullets weights? Caliber 6.5x47 1) 120/123 Bergers and Scenars 2) 130 Bergers and Norma's 3) 139/140/142 Scenars, Bergers, Matchkings I am most likely going to shoot 130's out of this next build. Would a 4 groove or a 6 groove be...

So you are definitely advising me not to glue the action in with the recoil disc contacting the front face of the sleeve. I should make sure and leave .020" between them. Should I leave air in between them or put bonding material between them in that .020" space? Unfortunately my action has the...

Are conventionally rifled barrels (with the 90° land wall) still the mainstay in BR competition or are there shooters out there using 5R barrels? Can the premium grade cut rifled 5R barrels shoot as well as the conventionally rifled barrels? Any advantages/disadvantages to staying with the 90°...

Is the Hysol EA9340 a 2 part adhesive?

How difficult is it to get Hysol? Is it available for purchase? If it is do you or Jim know where to purchase it from? Thanks for the info.

Did you use the Hysol industrial adhesive on your 3 glue-ins or something different?

Are you guys that are shooting Eliseo tube guns bonding and bolting your action into the action sleeve or are you just slipping the action in and bolting it in without any bonding material?

Are any of you shooting a tube gun in competitions? Are you happy that you went the tube gun route? Any particular negative issues that you have had with yours? I handled one and got behind it for a few rounds not too long ago. I like them a lot. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
