    Thinking of buying a lathe, how hard is it to chamber a rifle?

    I’ve chambered a couple barrels on my lathe, it requires patience and the right tools. Make sure whatever lathe you buy has a large enough spindle bore( through the headstock behind the chuck) to pass a blank through and can have a spider attached to the rear. This greatly simplifies the...

    Ruger #1 in 223 rem

    Number 1’s can be hit or miss accuracy wise. Mine in .270 ran me ragged trying to get it to shoot. Dozens of loads, hours of work. Finally got it to shoot acceptably by shimming the barrel to the spring hanger. If your’s shoots, great, if it doesn’t, consider one of these...

    How/when do I order .270 AI (wildcat dies)

    I am really happy with the 6.5 x 55 AI Dies that https://www.ch4d.com/ made me. Under $100 for a fl sizer and seat die.

    Which bullet for deer for 6.5CM inside 400 yards?

    I’ve been loading a 120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip for my friends.260, he thinks it’s some sort of death ray, drops deer dry. Most of his shots are under 200.

    How much do we really gain from the A.I. rifles.

    I built a 6.5 X 55 AI ( not really an Ackely since he never did the Swede) I can comfortably and accurately push Hornady 120 grn ELD’s to 3100 and 140’s seem to plateau at 2900 no matter what. Well above standard US loading for the cartridge. But it is well known that the standard Swede can be...

    Recontouring a barrel

    I re-contoured an ER Shaw barrel that I ordered short chambered and crowned. IT turned out to be ridiculously accurate, but they are button rifled.

    Rem 600 action

    I did a complete rebuild on my 600 in .308 last summer. It was my first deer rifle, and has accounted for untold number of whitetails, including some memorable(for me) trophies. So i have quite an emotional attachment to it. in my younger days I served in the National Guard and may or may not...

    Rem 600 action

    Nice Rifle! I love those little guns, I have two in mostly factory trim, one in 6mm Rem and one in .308. What have you got on there for bottom metal/trigger guard? Obviously not factory....:)
