God I love this place! LMFAO...

I would build a 284 Winchester in a heartbeat but I got sidetracked by loooooooooooongrange...... they used to offer it in both savage 99 and winchester 100and that was semi auto.

I think we are doing the same thing in different ways but the key thing is we are both achieving consistency and that is what we are after our neck tensions may well be different but by doing it the same every time we get what we want... awesome.

ok got ya but you are annealing after every firing correct? so in my reloading for this I am decapping old primer then annealing then resizing with no ball or decapping pin in resize die then I use mandrel and it opens case mouth 2 more K are we doing the same thingLOL i just did not understand you saying you used a bushing to size down to 3 K then used a 2 K mandrel which would do nothing ? so I guess I am confused.lol if it is working then get er done... what does your resizing die size the neck to ? it should resize to sammi spec right?

sorry been out of town in the mountains no cell coverage Ok you are reducing your neck to 3 thou.... but you mandrel only opens it to two thou.. you sizing die should resize the neck on the outside to 338 then you use the mandrel and open it for 2 thou. size.....call me if you are confused or I am confused LOL

Do they build triggers for bolt guns as well?

A whole sack full and throw some cocaine in the sack that is a guaranteed way to break a siege

Ok lets do this in parts ) Cleaned cases, deprimed, cleaned inside of neck with a nylon brush{} Yes!!!! 2) Lubed case with my standard case lube, bumped shoulder [and used a bushing that would resize the neck to give about 0.003" neck tension}<<< cut this part out 3) Cleaned cases to remove case lube Yes!!!! 4) Lubed inside case neck with graphite Yes!!!!! very little is required a dusting inside case mouth 5) Resized the neck with an expander mandrel give 0.002" neck tension Yes!!!! 6) Relube the neck<<<<<<< NO cut this part out the graphite in the neck already from neck tension is all you need} and seat bullets to 0.020 from the lands (didn't have time to do the seating depth ladder - so I crossed my fingers and went with 0.020) that is OK So yes your barrel is going to speed up between rounds 10 and 200 this will change your SD, you are using Retumbo right? so heat should not change the speed or sd as it is a extreme powder, and yes upon firing quickly lay another round on top of Mag and be prepared to fire when your spotter gives you correction or you yell hell yeah when he says impact.... but be ready to send another round to take advantage of wind condition. Yes numbers will drop and rise a small bit due to first firing brass and case stretch and as you reach copper equilibrium you will see your numbers start to settle that is why I hardly ever clean my gun only when accuracy starts to fade, also what seating die are you using are you getting consistant size? measured from the ogive NOT overall length . your 6 and 7 strings are shooting almost exactly like my gun playing with seating depth and tweeking powder charge up or down will also help, the biggest thing that helped my SD was being meticulas on weighing my powder charges no throwing from scale I weigh each one with a digital scale after getting charge from powder measure and i trickle up to weight, and stap as soon as my digital scale shows my weight.... but hey you are looking good and on the right track... And I do nothing on first firing except set neck tension just fire form the case and look for dents etc.

It is true, like the time Matt Cross and I are playing tic tac toe at night at what was it 450 anyway it was not 1000 but we hit every target dead center that night and had a cats game these gas guns we build are shooters..... way to Go JBMatt

since 90% of my meat is wild game the number one rule is NEVER over cook it ...it will be like a rubber tire over cooked medium at the most medium rare is perfect!

yeah I shoot 90% of the time prone and I am not a huge guy buy this gun at 29 lbs is a female cat cat with 300 grain Berger OTM's a can is on my watch list but I have a 30 inch barrel so damn she will be long with a can

heavy is good mine weighs 29 lbs

I agree that is why it is on my 338 LM they are made to order 4 to 6 weeks turn around but worth the wait...

That was my initial choice not a huge difference in price but I decided on the Ivey after much research for one reason Robust, i tend to be hard on things the Charly Tarac is held on with magnets the Ivey is all part of the mount

H.A.F!!!
