Shooter's World Match in my 19" .308 Win with 130gr Barnes TTSX. Amazing accuracy.

I just used some WD-40 to (accidently) neck size some 280 Rem brass to 257 Roberts. The lube worked fine, my glasses... a solid fail. Such a multitude of products we can use, I'm not limiting myself to just one. If I have a jar of Crisco on hand, that's what I'll use. Maybe even some Brill...

This is what I use - just a little bit on the fingers, rub it on - works great. I dislike those sticky waxes and ultra-heavy oils. To clean it off: a little brake cleaner on an old towel, roll 'em around and I'm done.

I cut mine back with my cheap'o 1" belt grinder then Cerakote them. Precision not required, just a nice clean consistent edge. No GS consultation needed or additional expenses. Maybe it's not the belt grinder that's cheap... :)

I can't wait for Show and Tell day! :)

I'm doing load development now for my 257 Roberts AI with the 115gr Berger specifically for long range Coyote zapping. It isn't exactly flat shooting, but I have a Sightron STAC 4x20 scope on it and want to practice my dial-ups and wind calls. I'd suggest not using the TTSX and look at one of...

That's a cool rig! Did you remove the wheel stud on the rear axle to save a little weight?

I'm think'n it's a dead snake... the best kind.

So this thread has me thinking about HBN coating all my bullets - including the mono's. Has anyone coated their mono's and observed the results? As I rarely clean down to bare metal, my "go to" c-c and mono loads appear not to affect one another as my barrel baseline is semi-fouled. I...

I've had excellent results with H4831sc, RL-19 (my favorite for 140 - 168gr pills) I constantly use the Nosler and Barnes load data sites for powder and charge weight reference, they're excellent resources. I want to try some of the VhitaVuori N1xx series powders next, they're much cooler on...

Thanks - I like to have my own reamers, I tend to set barrels back and fiddle a bit. It's my wife's money... :)

I have an old Mauser pre-fit barrel that needs to be reamed a bit deeper. If you have a decent finish reamer that you're willing to part with, please let me know. SAAMI spec is desireable. I could use dies, and a go/no-go gage set as well. -thanks!

I read someone's post lastnight about his primer comparison testing -which included WR, CCI and I can't recall the others. I beleive he found the WR primers being almost the same as CCI 200. They were close enough for me. My WR primers arrived an hour ago - they measure .003 taller than a...

I hope you have a better experience than me! I've read a number of posts that note they're difficult to seat - that was me too. I thought about trying the Fiocchi primers but decided to try the White River Energetics LR primers instead - they arrive today. They sound pretty good from reading...

@Beng - my wife and I are headed to Luxembourg in September then headed to Germany, Belgium, England and France - if there's anything I can bring you from the good 'ol US of A send me a PM. Reamers, bullets, barrels, whatever will fit in a checked bag and doesn't get me probed or arrested...
