Changemaster Lite on sale...

So what are you getting at? Are you suggesting Erik Cortina is full of it? Because he is selling (hawking) his tuner-brakes. How about all the video interviews he has provided with leaders of the F Class community? Shooters, gunsmiths, and machinists of the industry. Many a time he has said, "...

look at the SWFA scopes. $299.00 for many of their fixed power. they usually have a big sale on Black Friday. Turrets are good on these scopes. Glass for this price range is good. Made in Japan by Light Optics Works. https://www.swfa.com/swfa-ss-12x42-tactical-30mm-riflescope-3.html?___SID=U...

now that you mention it, I remember how easy it was to remove just the extractor. The first time I took apart and reassembled the entire bolt, I took pictures. now it's easy and quick. kind of surprised that Savage hasn't addressed this issue in a more consumer-friendly manner.

Would it have been possible to use a Dremel-like tool with a small stone to hone down the ejector without having to disassemble the bolt?

Just a question for somebody that has experience with this issue. Trying to put it in the simplest of words: When shooting a round you are fireforming the brass to match the imperfections of the chamber. And when ejecting the fired brass, a portion of the case is ‘abraded’ off and leaving the...

correct, my mistake, looks like it's at about 3:15 or so into it

is that a can of acetone on the same tabletop as his annealer? pause the video at 7:17

I purchased the Annealeez unit about 8 months ago. Just yesterday I annealed 100 cases. I timed the process at just under12 minutes. With about 5 minutes of setup that included connecting the propane bottle and adjusting the flame and cycle rate. My average rate was 7 seconds per case. Unless...

funny you mention that. my box of Lapua .308 came with one extra. not 100 but 101

I still use the Frankford SS wet tumbler. But I did switch from the stainless pins to the stainless chips. I find that they do a better job of cleaning out both the inside of the case and the primer pockets. Checking the inside of each case is a must for safety. Takes a bit longer, but results...

I can’t seem to find that illusive ‘velocity node’ when I graph out these values. I would greatly appreciate Anyone with experience that can look at these numbers and shed some light on just where there is or isn’t a node. Rifle Savage model 12, new Shilen 26-inch bull barrel (36 total shots)...
