Ah, I figured. It seems like the distance to the lands without the ejector and extractor changes once the ejector and extractor are installed. But if you stay in the hundredths jumps then I guess you allow yourself some wiggle room.
Here is the video I watched that led me to the OP:
Yea, that sounds like what I do now. I use the Sinclair depth gauge for a starting point and then work backwards. I meant when using just the bolt, a case, and a bullet and gently chamber the cartridge.
When not using a depth gauge, why is it recommended to remove the extractor and firing pin when finding your lands, yet both are installed when shooting. I've heard/read you don't want anything pushing on the case, but the case will/may be pushed once you reinstall the extractor and firing pin...
Initially I was after the most mechanically consistent --for rifles-- out of the bigger brands. Not looking for exact throws, just as minimal variances as I can obtain. Then I saw all this "competition ready" "benchmark" "Match" series of powder measures, and wasn't really buying into the hype...
Thank you, bds. I will give them a call on Monday. Their price is very reasonable and I'm fond of smaller companies.
Thank you, daboone. I'm more into an OCW range and don't get too bothered by safe variances. I've been reloading pistol for several years, just getting into rifle reloading. It...
RCBS and Redding have "Competition" and "Match" grade powder measures....they are getting close to a Harrells' price, but that's a side point.
Does anyone know if these "more-precise" measures are more precise, or easier to throw more consistently than the less expensive RCBS/Redding models...
Thank you all for the replies.
I wanted the .260 for the ~120-125gr range of bullets (and have the luxury of going heavier if needed). So, glad I'm good to go. Or should be.
B&C & Boyd's has drop in stocks for the Howa 1500 action. Can buy the Howa 1500 barreled actions off Brownells at Christmas time prices, or you can get a complete gun with Howa 1500 action for same price if you look around.
Cheap flimsy stocks should be of no concern when there's fiberglass...
Does anyone shoot a 100-125 grain from a 1:8 .260 Rem ? Can't seem to find the .260 1:9 twist rates any more, as production guns are now 1:8.
Some say you "can't" over-stabalize a bullet...others say it depends on the caliber. I'm not sure what is said about the 6.5
Thank you
Hey -
I am wondering if an import vise such as a Grizzly will work for my very basic need(s)...My only purposes, and I don't see it progressing, is to tighten AR-15 barrel nuts and the stock tube's castle nut.
I have read review after review and post after post of these "crummy" imports...
As said -- same folks that started Bushy... I will add this -- I have 2 of each brand (I'm waiting on my neighbor to pick up his 2 -- I'm not a hoarder) and both Windham triggers are superior to the Bushy triggers during the travel stage. So this may be for every case but it is for the 4 that...
I wonder if "The Book" is from store to store rather than company wide? Because we went to multiple walmarts in a Louisiana city and went thru the chain of command up to the store manager and no one at the 6 or 7 walmarts in our city knew anything about this magical ordering book
if you're getting 1 gun and 1 gun only -- ammo abundance or reload components is clearly the #1 priority. 9mm wins.
226. 15,17,18,20, and + magazine capacity...a lot of fun range fire power and plenty of threat stoppage in a 124gr USA brand HP.
The 220 is great but I can't figure out why...
I read this and went out and bought a 10mm and a .45acp...duct taped them together (3M brand for added adhesion and strength) and now have an awesome side by side. problem solved
anyone have a good comparison of where a colt 70s NM could be compared to today...Dan Wesson Valor?? Morris Custom?? Heirloom?? I'm joking on the last 2
I knew I should have went with a "HK vs The World" or a "Best Pistol Under $1,000 thread!!!"
