I have been using LB3 for some time now. I has been a real good program. Its time for a new phone. And Shooter has have some good reviews. Just the thought of getting rid of the GPS,PDA, and Cell. And having one device work for all 3 is worth the try. The phone will be here this week. Week...

Just a stupid question…Where the heck would you make the measurement for sight height, with a tapered base? Seams to me, that it would be the center of the scope. Not on the ends. Any thoughts. Regards Mike.

Mr. Ballard, good article. And grate work! Not to hijack this conversation about your article but have you used the Duracoat clear, over the Kryon? Seams that everyone reading is also interested in the different paints and paint types. Seams that an epoxy clear, not necessarily Duracoat, over...

I had the same problem for a while.Started going into the local shop 2 times a week. And sure enough primers. No bench rest primers.I haven't seen them in a year and nether have they. CCI 250 primers started to show up Last week. I will check tomorrow, if they still have some I Will get you...

Over the week end, I did some more sizing. I played with different lubes.I found that with graphite dry lube, inside the neck, the OL improved. The last 50 cases the max OL was 2.832 and the minimum was 2.828. Big difference. And the run out went down also from .oo4 max to a .oo2 max. I'm a...

+1 on the Large shank. The Rum action would be the best choice. Finding one will be the challenge especially if your left handed. Roomer has it, that Savage will be coming out with a new long,large shank, large bolt face action, this next year, for the 338 Lupa. If they do I hope it will be...

First my method of sizing. 1 - New 300 Rum case (Remington), expand neck with a Sinclair neck expander. 2 - Run through the Redding FL S bushing die. I start with a case "on average" with a length of 2.841. after expanding length drops to 2.827 (witch is to be expected). The shoulder stays...

The way I brake them loose is with a U shaped block of wood and a C clamp. Cut the block to fit over the receiver, and the legs of the U rest on the edges of the stock. Find a 4" C clamp grind the clamp to fit in the action. And tighten. I can post pictures latter if wanted. Regards Mike

I'm not familiar with a CZ bolt head. But I am with a Savage. The Savage system uses a FLOATING bolt head. Most others do not. The floating bolt head will compensate for barrel to receiver miss alignment. Which is what happens when the nut is tightened.Miss alignment can be caused by many...

Head space when, a go/no go gage cant be found. Can be done with a sized case, I will use clear tape .0015 " on the back of the rear of the case. Screw down the barrel and tighten..add another layer of tape,(no go). Remove the tapes (go). fired round to check actual head space. The last time I...

My edge still weighting parts:rolleyes: 30" 10 twist McGowen. #7, DE 1" brake, Savage 110. I have several McGowen barrels, I like them. They are on par with all the others. I do have a PacNor, and 2 Harts also. Call them and see what you think. McGowen Precision Barrels Home Regards Mike

The EXD just went on my list! That tool when you think how it is used will take all the guess work out of knowing weather you vertical alignment is on or off. What a simple idea!lightbulb

I'm going to invest in some more tools for this Hobie. The Topic today is scope tools. I have the weaver level level and other stuff that really just gets a person by.The level level is a ***. I use my small machinist level now, its much more accurate. But its time to invest in some good...

Thanks Guys. I ordered the scope, Now to find a good price in the range finder.

Hears a thought, Switch barrel rifle. Today it can be an Edge,tomorrow a 280AI,and the next day? Tell the wife its like having all those dang shoes,only that "you" will use them.:D
