I've heard a million ways, you just have to do what works for you. I've used a lot of methods and so far the old school way works best for me. I take a somewhat loose necked case with no primer like you mentioned that can still grab a bullet and I set it for a bit less then what I assume is...

I see this is an older thread... Have you decided? I'll add another opinion for the 22' being short. I do understand purpose built guns. Just that if a manufacturer is going to change from a 1:14 or 1:12 standard to something that can use the other 50 percent of .224 bullets on the market...

Not a bad design at all. I’m carrying some wood and hardware around in my van for a similar project bouncing around in my mind...

When I'm searching through forums and come across an old post, I never know if it's better to continue posting relevant information on the old thread making it easier for people doing general google searches (how I found this forum initially) and keeping similar info in one spot or to create a...

I’ve read posts from you before (bud light) ... first thing ... i’m Sure I hold several international records for quantity of bl consumed. Second, my foray into precision shooting is solely going to be around the 277 chamberings. I’m curious if you’d swap any load info with me for a 270win...

Same here. I'm using this barrel to learn how to efficiently do load development. The biggest part I've learned is to not try to do more then 1 bullet/powder combo at a time. I think I'm going to start doing 1 bullet with 3 powders per box and in the estimated charge/velocity window that I...

I'm curious too if any gunsmiths have worked on the B14 action or rebarreled any. I heard a company exec state their tolerances are very tight, but we all know how marketing works. As an entry into the sport I purchased a Bergara B14 Hunter in 270win (nostalgia and hard headed reasons, not...

Makes complete sense. Difference between RL-19 and H4831sc, different barrel exit times regardless of velocity at 15 yards past barrel. However, I still am noticing that as I conduct tests I'm able to ball park guess (SO FAR) based on velocity and seeing as though that is the easiest thing for...

I can't speak to the exact physics but so far nodes are directly related to velocity in my 270win from powder to powder. Sure I get better accuracy with one powder over another but the nodes seem to be right on with same velocity figures. As stated above, might at least not be a dumb thing to...

I am in the market for a lower cost front rest as well. I've heard good things about the Cadwell Fire control. Some posts I've read state that it's better the the rock br. It doesn't look at durable for larger rifles but I've only read of 1 issue someone had from a post in 2010 or...
