A few wet patches before 1 st shot, then fire 1 shot, wet patch fire 1 shot, wet patch etc about 12 to 15 patches worth. At the end of a shooting session I will run a wet patch down the bore just to get the carbon out. Thats it, nothing complicated. Essentially 1 is pushing a layer of some sort...

I have used it with good effect on experienced rifles. The key is to get 110% of the copper and carbon build up out of the barrel BEFORE you use Gun Juice. Once the Juice coats over the bore everything that is under it is there permanently. Only 2 ways to get rid of Gun Juice, bead blasting or...

I don't remeber where it got to. I will dig out the borescope and the camera again and post a more current photo shortly. Those who believe me will believe, those who won't will only claim trick photos or something. In that post Kirby challenged me on it, and as I mentioned to him, I have no...

Have YOU tried it? Many knock products they have never used is why I ask. It is easy to slam stuff with no 1st hand knowledge. I think like many products there are some willing to try a product, use it as directed and find that A) either the manufacturer was not totally truthful, or B) the...

I have 1800 rnds out my 1 st 338LAI and 4500 rnds out of a 300 win mag I built a few years back, both which exhibit virtually NO throat erosion or firecracking. Both should look like parched desert mud by now but don't, the only thing I can attribute it to is Gun Juice. The 338 has a Rock Creek...

Before you use Gun Juice you have to get 100% clean, all copper and carbon MUST be removed. If you coat over it with Juice it will be there permanently. I would recommend Wipe Out as a cleaner, you may need to use 2 or 3 doses to get everything out. I started my own rifles from shot#1 with...

VERY TRUE!! The 338 LAI version I have uses a 40 degree shoulder, as opposed to the Speedy which has a 35 degree shoulder. Also some of the versions straightwall the casing more than others. Generic dies and wildcats do not mix.

It is all about the sharing of experiences, whether they are similar or totally different that makes forums such as this so valuable. To be able to capitalize on someones successes or failures is always positive. I totally agree that the only animal who can tell the differences in velocitis is...

I find it interesting the different experiences many of us who have played with this combination have had. I do not doubt your experience for a moment, just different from mine. I have a buddy in B.C. who has built 1 with Shilen barrel and he is not getting the velocites either. Something else...

This certainly has not been my experience. This year I have built 12 , 338LAIs and all my clients are reporting the virtually the same velocities I have achieved with my own 2 338LAIs. Which is 3050 to 3090 fps shooting 300 gr SMKs. I use Rock Creek barrels for most of my custom builds, they...

Having built alot of 338LAIs this last few years, agree with Daves observations. Personally I have had phenomenal success with 9.4 twist Rock Creek barrels. We use them consistently out to 2400 yards with great success when shooting 300 gr SMKs or 300 gr Scenars. If and when Berger or Hornaday...

In my experience brass life depends alot on how much you size or work it. I use only bushing dies from Redding and have had great suucess with case life on the Edge AI. I will admit I prefer the Lapua, as high quality brass is much more readily available. To build a cost effective 338LAI why...

In the last year I have built several 338 Edge AIs. There is a minute increase in case capacity, which effects nothing in reality for increased velocity, the 40 degree shoulder I had Manson Reamers put on my reamer, makes case trimming virtually unnecessary. Getting 10 or 11 reloadings before...

Have been using it for years , great stuff!

NF makes the program for Palm as well. You can get cheap Palm pilots that work well or as I have done, a Palm cell phone
