[QUOTE="Sheldon, post: 25507, member: 768"] BountyHunter. I might just do that. I don't want everyone to think I'm THAT much of loser when it comes to reloading. I own and have read Glen Newick's book several times, and I do understand some of the techniques I SHOULD be using. I have just never invested in the gear required, and was always satisfied with the 1/2" or less groups I get in nearly all of my rifles. Now, to get there, I have spent hundreds of hours pillar bedding, opening up barrel channels, adding pressure points, rebedding, fussing, cussing, etc. I've also spent thousands of dollars on trigger jobs, new chambers, recrowns, action truing, blueprinting, etc., etc. New barrels, better dies and better loading gear probably would have been a better place to spend my money, but just like good optics, I had to learn the hard way. Once I put my first Leupold on, I never went back and except for one, all my scopes cost more than the rifles they are sitting on, and the one that's cheaper is only about $100 off! I think I'll contact Neil for my 6-284's too. I'm building two - one walking varminter/carry rifle on a Model 7 and the other a 12# gun with 30" barrel. If they are both cut with the same reamer, can I use the same dies even if the throats are different lengths? [/QUOTE]
