Lederer Barrels

Nice group.

Can't wait for my Lederer barreled mid range sling prone gun in 30-30 to shoot the Berger 168 Hybrids.

Ya'll can guess who is doing the project.

Next, are you setting the 30-30 to headspace off of the rim or shoulder?

Jackie,

I'll be using the same method on his as I do on mine. I will headspace on both rim and shoulder. I have attached my last eight shot group from my LV 30-30. Unlike Lee's group, there was no wind at all.

I forgot to mention, this is my first Lederer barrel that fired this group.

I heard about this post and your group from James Lederer. When he told me this past Thursday, I was standing in his shop in Wisconsin. After spending from 9:00AM until midnight with him, making and lapping barrels, all I can say is I learned a lot. More than anything, I learned that James is extremely serious about the details. Probably 80 percent of the stuff that leaves other manufactures, would never make it out of his shop.

When I get home, I'm going to try my 30-30 again. I didn't spend a lot of time with it when I tried it before.

Pete,

Didn't you say that you might have a chamber or barrel problem? I seem to remember something about you not being satisfied with the gunsmith. I do remember you having a problem with the trim length, and the gun shooting better after trimming, but still other concerns.

to have that kind of memory Michael. When I get home I will re-assess what I have and be in a better spot to make a judgment. Only 3 more months! As I recall, I don't think I had a case problem but accuracy was lacking, as I recall but i didn't put a lot of time into it. Perhaps I was expecting too much, too soon!

Pete,

I understand the memory thing. I decided to take a look at the messages you sent me concerning your 30-30. I have copied and pasted what you said to me below.

"I had an inexperienced guy do the barrel and while it seemed to have been done right, a 30 BR barrel he did at the same time doesn't shoot up to my expectations either. That one is a Krieger and , to me, looks like it was not lapped. It is very rough inside. I didn't look in it before I sent it to him".
