[QUOTE="Brent, post: 25316, member: 99"] Everything I wrote was just deleated...That sucks! Anyway...I hate it when that happens! Thanks for the help Steve. CrowMag has helped me out here alot too and I just want to say thanks alot guys. A caliper reading an 1/8" up in the die will give me something to compare to the one CM gave me as well. I'll just add .001" to it because of the blade width for a better idea. Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool has helped me out quite a bit on this too. He's a super nice and helpfull guy, if you all have a chance to talk to him he's highly recommended. I have been wrighting alot and now doing it all over again, so I'll be short. I know what you mean Steve, about the quality gunsmith, more later. My smith Dave, he's good, and not shy of a beer and game of pool either. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] He's built many big bench rifles, the last one was a beautifull 300 Ultra about 65#. Too big for me right now! Started with about a 4"x10" block of laminate and man what a beautifull gun now! The thing shoots little bughole groups with so many types of ammunition you'd swear I was lying!
