Greasy way,to yield a Dirty Duty Sleeper...on the sly.fogswamp said:Think I can do enough with vanilla 223 and a 62x........we shall see.
Can you get us a special make up Kimber Montanas in 22LR, 22mag, and 17HMR? Tube fed, up the rear while you're at it. No frickin port-side scallop for loading either.shortactionsmoke said:Yep on the shop, on both counts. I'll be glad to offer pointers.
1:8 223, 22-250, and 243's would all go pretty friggin quick!shortactionsmoke said:No, but I am working on a special run of a couple different Montana's. 50 of each and expect them to be gobbled up pretty quick.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that if we get input as well as 1st shot @ special make up stuff, that'll be payment enough.shortactionsmoke said:I guess I better get with the man and pay some advertising on here too. I need to see how he wants me to organize stuff. I have lots of plans...
+1 That would be nice.Big Stick said:I'd love to see a S/S 1-8" 22-250 RAR,wearing a green Hogue.............
Not yet. Figured I'd wait for Cotis or SAS now. But if it'll be awhile with the transition I might try filling and milling.fogswamp said:Hey 4th pt, you mess with them clips yet??
I'd take a Hogue for the RAR.Big Stick said:What I like about plywood,is that it ain't living. It sculpts easily and one can glove fit ergo's,pinpoint balance and easily have his way.
I still would like to see a Hogue for 'em...............
Sadly,I've lotsa plywood handles.4th_point said:Klassic, Heritage, or Prarie?
Got any pics of Boyd's stock? Seen some pics with the bolts open and it helps decipher the cheek rest geometry.
I've had a few plywood stocks but one made of Rutland was soft like balsawood. Gave me the creeps and I've been trying to avoid them ever since.
Cookie dough Fill and Mill while waiting for the Plug & Play from SAS.4th_point said:Not yet. Figured I'd wait for Cotis or SAS now. But if it'll be awhile with the transition I might try filling and milling.fogswamp said:Hey 4th pt, you mess with them clips yet??
I like that a lot...think I may just need to start with that setup.shortactionsmoke said:It just got gooder....
Minimal cookie dough to lock the front lug. Then more dough to capture some of the barrel (would normally trim any nubbings but left it here). Rear lug is captured, but allowed to float. Might go back and lock it.ridgeline said:4th'
Have you Bedded the Boyd ?? If so you got any Pics ? Inquiring minds gotta know...
The perfect powder measure from Lee? Thanks4th_point said:Brazo,
I can't help in terms of best throwers. I have a Horny on my progressive and a couple of Lees that are set and forget. The Lees throw ball dead nuts. The Horny just sees pistol powder. Neither thrower is dead nuts with stick powder.

If you can look past a long action, I've found no other action that feeds as smooth, ejects with authority and has a great trigger out of the box. One thing I don't agree with is them going from an 8 twist to a 10 twist in .223.Big Stick said:My preference is to operate within the realm of reason and Tikka cain't make that cut............
You can mod the factory mag that came with the 223. I'm pretty sure there are pics in this thread.bobnob said:Couple of questions - and I'm happy to be howled down with derisive laughter but - has anyone tried to mod the 308-length mag to shoot the 223s at a longer OAL?
Hard to back down to 25.5grs,let alone 25.7...with a 24gr start.(grin)Shooter71 said:Buddy's rar.223 is getting a hair over 2700 with 24.0 of lever and 75bthp kissed in a modded mag, but occasional popped primer. Backed down to 25.5, 25.7.
400s.4th_point said:What primers?
I pierced a few CCI 400's with H335 at 2900-ish with the 75 AMAX. No problems with the Rem 7-1/2.
At prez I am neck sizing my formed brass and then not sizing all the neck at that.Big Stick said:Has anyone checked headspace on their Virgin poke,to CONFIRM just what in the fuck is transpiring?!?
Scotch Tape is cheap................(grin)
Everything craters and about 1 out of 20 will pierce. Guess I shouldn't call them 'blown'.bobnob said:LM are the primers "blowing" ie around the edges of the primer, or are they piercing where the pin strikes?
Trying the masking tape / feeler gauge shortly. Have a day off and have 75g Amax load development to do...
Trying to work out how alarmed I should be...Big Stick said:Might scare yourself too.(grin)

Length of a Virgin case was 1.760.
Length with enough tape on it before it got a nice feel was 1.767.
I kept putting tape on until it was REALLY hard to close and got to 1.796.
What's that tell me? How sloppy is sloppy?

Yep there's no doubt aboutcha; you'd be a bloody handy bloke to have around the camp!Big Stick said:Toldjaso.(grin)
I haven't pierced any in formed brass in mine, but still get mild cratering.bobnob said:Just went back and loaded 6 identically to the load that pierced a primer earlier today, only difference was I used fired/formed brass this time, neck sized only.
Problem apparently solved; no cratering, no holed primers. Speed and accuracy was all the same.
Amazing how much you THINK you know...
In fairness,you are better than most at fucking up easy shit.16Bore said:Funny how I size to the gauge and it feels the same. Course I remove the firing pin for "better" feel and shoot a Tikka.....and a 270.
Goddamn I'll never get it right.
Anyone got a spare Tasco and See-Thru's for sale?
I've never used them but these might work.bobnob said:For the sake of the thread I just test fired my first 75g Amaxes through the rifle having modded the mag as per the 4th Point Method.
Using virgin brass, a 2.433" oal and 24.2g of H4895 I averaged 2775fps and yes you guessed it, blew a primer on one of the three shots I fired. Group was pleasing however at 0.85" at 125y.
Need to put a false shoulder on this new brass... what's the easiest way to do it? The next bigger calibre expander I have is .257...
