Master Blaster, I too have Lee dies and they will rust. Mine are the collet dies in .270 and the carbide dies in 9mm. May not be the same as yours. I just use whatever oil I have on hand, sometimes gun oil, sometimes motor oil .
Could be the scope OR the stock. I float all of my barrels and glass bed the action in the stock. Actually I use an epoxy compound called JB Weld. Brownell makes a superior bedding compound that is stronger, but I am cheap.If you have never glass bedded a rifle, you had best read some...
I use a 130 gr. Sierra pro hunter over 51.5gr. of WW760 in a .270 model 70 Winchester with a 24 in. barrel. That is a mild load, but I can get 1/2in MOA. I am tempted to try Doorman's 53.5gr. of H4350.
I increase my loads by .5 grains until I get the best 4 shot group. I keep the barrel cool between shots with a wet towel and I clean between groups with a brush and solvent followed up with a shot of brake cleaner. The reason being that I am a hunter and when I go hunting, the rifle is clean...
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. When I was in law school back in the 70's, A cop could not search your car because he smelled pot. If a trained dog detected the odor of pot, that was grounds for a search. Has the law changed?
When bedding my rifles, I coat all metal parts on the action and barrel that will be exposed to the epoxy or whatever is being used for bedding with a release agent usually a carnuba wax- old fashioned Simonize works. If the metal parts are not coated- good luck with removing the stock. JB Weld...
I have used JB weld to bed my .270W and my muzzel loader. I had good results. Just be sure to use the original JB and not the quick set JB. Also it is important to mix the two components very thoroughly. It is probably not as good as Brownell's acraglass but it worked for me.
Cfullgraf, removing cases that have had head separations from the barrel are no problem assuming you can clean from the breech. Simply insert an oversize bore brush far enough to get to the neck of the case and pull it out. For example in my .243 I would use a .270 bronze bore brush. When you...
A few years ago, I had numerous case head separations with my .243W. I was forming .243 brass from 7.62 NATO brass by running it through a .243 die. After about 3 or 4 reloadings I would get case head separations and my loads were not hot. As I recall, my loads were 43.5gr. IMR 4350. I was using...
Ditto to what Kzoo said. I too have owned both and prefer the Browning. I had a Ruger MK2. 22/45. Good gun but a pain to strip and clean. With the Browning,according to the manual, all it needs is a ****** job. The trigger reset is better on the Browning.
I have a Bersa Thunder .380 cal. when I rack the action and insert a bullet into the chamber then pull the trigger to slowly release the hammer down to the safety area without firing the weapon. I have to pull the trigger twice to make it fire. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I...
The op mentioned that he was using a PF-9. According to the instructions that came with the gun, the gun is not designed to have a steady diet of +P ammo.
