    A Polishing Question

    I've converted one side of my bench grinder for a polishing wheel but have run into something I didn't expect so am asking. I'm new to polishing sp have a lot to learn. Problem I'm having is the "wheel" a open, unsewn sisal throws off a LOT of threads even just applying the green polishing...

    Neck Cracks

    Just noticed this on a couple fired rounds.... This is 25/06 made from 30/06 brass. No neck turning and it was before I knew the value of annealing necks as well. The loaded rounds measure at the neck (.287) before firing, (.291) after firing. Regular 25/06 brass measures generally /257-8...

    Who is David Keene

    I'm sure a lot of people have joined or rejoined as I have the NRA in hopes of having a bigger conservative hammer to use in the 2nd amendment fight! Just read an article at this...

    225 case forming

    I've had the idea to convert a 223 in a break action to 225 Win which would give me 22-250 ish performance and rimmed reliability in the single-shot. I've had pretty good luck in the past forming from one caliber to the next, 308 and 30/06 class cartridges, that I thought to try making up some...

    Remington Barrel Threads

    Anyone know offhand if the "standard" 1.060/050 x 16 thread used on the 700 and older bolt actions applies to the new models like the 770 - 710 etc., or have they gone to a reduced shank size? Thanks!

    6.5-06

    Been thinking again how the 25-06 has always been a bit of a problem with bullet selection over the years though it's better now perhaps than 30 years ago. Mine barely will stabilize 120's and only at max at that. I'm thinking perhaps a good replacement for it, it's nearing the end of it's...

    AA-2

    Wondering if this is a common thing with this powder. Opened a new lb of no.2 today to work up some test loads for my 9mm Mak. I don't guess I was really surprised to see some of the powder sticking to the styro seal but it didn't end there. While it didn't seem to stick to the Lee dipper I...

    What's going on?

    I guess I've been pretty guilty all the years of taking for granted components we usually pay good money for are what they're represented as :uhoh: This week a 44 Contender barrel that never "excelled" in the accuracy dept. was 5 thou. over jacketed bullet size. .4335-.434 as it were!:what...

    Short Cartridge - Long Action?

    I'm tossing around rebarrelling a Rem. 721 I have in 30/06 to a flatter and perhaps lighter recoiling cartridge. I have a 700 in 25/06 and it's a fine round but don't need another. I've been thinking about 243 or one of the 6's. I'd appreciate any input on any inherent problems I'd be setting...
