[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 812618, member: 25383"] Doug bought one of the first indexing machines to anneal brass. In my opinion he was overworking the brass in the sizing process, but the splits were even odd. They were never all the way down the neck, but in that last half of the neck. He had at least two different die sets with the same results. One set was made by Scott and the other was a Redding die set. (which I later got from him to modify) The other guy and a couple other buddies of his built 6/284's, and became a barrel maker's dream come true! They (at onetime) were going thru two or more barrels a year. Then one of them got the grand scheme to make the shoulder .100" shorter! Lost about 50 fps, and greatly increased his barrel life. Then one of the other guys went -.150" on the shoulder and saw a loss of about 75fps, and nearly doubled the life of his barrels; plus grouped tighter. (actually that advice came from Ferris Pindell). Looks like Ackley was right in his book. gary [/QUOTE]
