youngtg: The best bet is to get new brass for your barrel and turn the necks on that from the start. While many of us can in fact swap brass around from barrel to barrel in these BR guns, that's a situation where the same reamer is being used and there's much more control of...

It will be as concentric as the chamber is. If you're checking the necks for runout after firing, make sure that the case is extracted and ejected easily. A strong ejector can slap the neck against the receiver and give neck readings that are a fake out. Obviously, this depends on the ejector...

Thanks for the link...works fine.

It's not much of a conundrum. The Shilen triggers have a small tension pin that protrudes below the rear cross pin holes. When using them in a hanger, you simply need to make two small relief notches so these pins will clear. If someone tried real hard, they might be able to stretch this tweak...

I have several Shilen Competition triggers and they are very good. They've  always been available. -Al

Balance on a BR gun is an often overlooked but important factor. Steve's suggestion is solid. -Al

From purely an accuracy stand point, a well done Rem or clone is going to be fine. But that's not the whole story. Custom actions offer more options for ease of operation and convenience. A coned bolt for easy feeding, trigger hangers for easy trigger maintainence and adjustment, bolt...

On factory rifles, neck turning may or may not show improvements....depends on the individual chamber. At most with a factory chamber, a light clean up cut that catches 50 to 75% of the neck is all I ever do. Remember that all neck turning does is to minimize the wall thickness variation of...

Dr Tim, my ultrasonic cleaner gets used a lot...great for triggers. Just finished tweaking a Jewell BR and it's going in next. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz. ;)

Yes he is. So is 'boltfluter' (Paul). Both do excellent work. -Al

Lee, that's some great advice. :) -Al

Respectfully, if you've never made conventional jacketed bullets before...this .228 deal is not where you want to start out. I'm not sure who the "scientists" are you are consulting with or what the aim of the project is? Sometimes the best way forward is to back out gracefully. Good...

Doc, I did this on my Panda....works slick! (pun intended). 👍 Thanks for the tip. Good shootin' :) -Al

At one of my local stores, all primers are 15% off. Hopefully, a sign of better times ahead. -Al

Our club, the Dakota Benchrest Shooters, will be having several club shoots later this year. Factory-ish guns are in a seperate class and we encourage people starting on their accuracy quest to join us for the fun. Hopefully, the O.P. can join us for at least one of these events. He and I...

My work with the Ezell PDT 7 oz. tuner last season: The next day, I went a little further out:

With the popularity of 600 yd competition events, why not add a class to SR BR that allows those guns in a seperate class? The shooters are there and they already have the gear. Seems like a good way to bolster the number of shooters and encourage cross over in both directions. The...

Pete, I use lengths of spring stock from McMaster-Carr. PM me you mailing info and I'll drop a length of it in the mail.

If you could build your perfect SR Score rifle for registered tournaments, what would it be and why? Whether it's one you currently have and would duplicate or your dream build, lets hear about it. Forget the budget..let's have some fun with this. Looking forward to your replies. Good...
