I didn‘t do it for him. I threaded the barrel off. You can imagine the chamber wasn’t any better. I had a 6.5 barrel I had taken off one of my open guns with a few rounds on. I chambered it and gave it to him.
Young guy, not a lot of cash. I hate to see people taken advantage of.
My whole...
That was actually done by a gunsmith with 20 years or more of experience. I have seen work worse than this out of his shop. And it’s easy to see what happened. But he chose to screw the brake on and give it to the young guy for his PRS rifle.
My whole point was that just because they have...
One other thing to keep in mind is that not everyone wants to wait to have a rifle built. With the wait times at gunsmiths can be kinda crazy. Good that they are busy.
Also one of the reasons I got into doing my own was the quality of work!!!!!
I have taken guns apart that have been done by...
3.148 is the oal, bullets are seated .030 off the lands
Lapua large primer brass, with a F-210 match primer and 43.5 gr of varget.
The throat was cut with a throater to be able to seat the bullets out this far.
I have shot almost 2000 rounds using this combo.
I load the 225 ELDM in my .308.
I use it for shooting FTR. 1-9 twist bartlein 5-R barrel is 30 inches long.
Varget was all I tried. I have them going 2530 FPS.
I would have all the measurements if you need them
No all good on that.
I have tried a few different positions on the scale. And have also gone back and weighed charges.
All was the same. No idea what the billet ones weigh.
This is easy and you could always look for and aluminum set I am sure they are out there.
I just like it being metal...
I have a 9 twist Bartlein 5R heavy palma on my .308. I use it for f-class target, and shoot the 225 eldm out of it. And being a .308 it only shoots them at 2530 fps. Shoots them very well and still has a .752 bc even going this slow.
When I was building this the guys I talked to that shoot a...
Hi
Just got my fx 120 auto throw and powder trickler.
I wasn't that happy with the cup they sent and with it being plastic the powder was sticking in it and would splash out.
Simple and cheap solution. Head do the store or in your wife's cupboard.
Get a stainless steel measuring cup. 1/3 cup...
I have a redding set of competition dies for my 257stw. Uses the bushings. Should be able to get a 7mm stw bushing die and use the right diameter bushing in it.
I am sure that's what I have.
Send me a pm if you would like a pic or the part number.
I haven't used them in a while so I would...
