[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 105506"] Bart Its sort of like giving load data. I always input that this load worked well in my gun you should lower your load by 10~15% to start. Even though I know many on these boards already know that its the beginner that I am worried about going straight to my load data and injuring themselves or others in the process. Same goes with giving any information on here you should always consider the beginner as they may read it to mean something that was not intended. I always consider the worst and try and write it for the best so that all information is givin and nothing is left for chance. On a 12 inch gear ring for an apu we have to heat it to 400 degrees for 20 minutes in order for it to expand enough to get it over the mating surface. At this temp expands it roughly .025 thou. When you stated "couple ten thousandths of an inch" a hair drier simply wont expand it that much. It took 400 degrees to expand a 12 inch ring .025 thou. Thats where flame heat or oven heat is needed to expand it .020 or so. A hair drier at the most will only heat it to 140 or so degrees before the internal saftey cuts the power off. This is simply not enough to expand the bore more than .0015~.003. This though is enough to allow the bullet to move more freely. However you friend must have spent a while heating the whole barrel or did he do it in sections and push the bullet in segments as he heated it? What I envinsioned was someone in their garage firing up the propane torch or acetelene and warming it up. I wanted to jump on this before anyone got that idea and needed to get a point across very plainly before the aforementioned took place. Sorry for stepping on your toes I wont do it again. [/QUOTE]
