    In addition to gundoc’s great advice, a very light draft angle on the sides and a few thou off the bottom will help with clearance and prevent chipping of the bedding when installing the action.

    I use bushing dies and always turn my necks with a K&M turner. I just skim the necks to take high points off and give consistent thickness. Even with Lapua brass there is up to 1.5 thou neck...

    I use stainless dentist tools to get in there. I got mine by asking a dentist for used tools being binned after use. They dispose of them regularly.

    Steve123 liked post by Spitfire On thread : An accuracy challenge
    Some great shooting and discussion here. Perhaps hitting a 1 MOA dot with a single cold bore shot is more relevant to most of us? To prove consistency, hit it again with a single shot on a...

    I’m sure it’s possible with poor quality cleaning rods, aggressive solvents and poor processes, but I also think too many shooters baby their barrels. A brass or synthetic brush is much softer than...

    hotsoup liked post by Spitfire On thread : Sako85 SA 243 barrel change... 284win?
    Good advice here. My .284 is on a T3 with a long bolt stop and mag. A short action can be done but to get the most out of it with high bc pills a long action is better. Perhaps a 6.4x47 Lapua or...

    A few mentions of RE22 as a good option here, but I caution against it. I used it in my .25-06 with a variety of pills including: 100 and 115 NBT, 110 Accubond, 115 VLD and 117 SST. It’s a good...
