    shooternz liked post by zimmer On thread : Thoughts on new barrel ' break-in '
    Someone will chime in here with Gale McMillan's recommendation of barrels not needing running in. Gale is well gone now but even the current custom barrel makers are 50:50 run-in/don't need to. I...

    Dupont IMR4895 smells like spirits, and has zero rust inside. AR2208 smells a bit stronger, but still not vinigery or acidic.153866

    A carbide cutting bit is much cheaper to replace than a reamer.

    shooternz liked post by gundoc On thread : Fire cracking, barrel erosion
    Bore scopes are handy if you are actually making barrels. As a gunsmith with more than 50 years experience I have never found the need for one, and regular firearms owners have even less need. The...

    shooternz liked post by chainsaw On thread : Load Testing Analysis. What do i make of this?
    Yep, Nosler reload guide states 63.0 gn as max with IMR4831. Your 62.5 gn load shows promise, try 62.3 and 62.7 gns. Also have you measured your max COL ? Ie where the ogive hits the lanz? The...

    shooternz liked post by gundoc On thread : Diagnosing a accuracy problem with my .222

    Yep, that must be putting the hurt on his brass and throat. With the very high BC there’s no need to send them any quicker than 2850-2900, or to over twist them. I run them in my 7 RM at 2840 in...

    popular brand is DPT. Modular , can be taken apart for cleaning , can add or subtract baffles as wanted . I own several of theirs and have been very happy with them.

    Test parameters: 1 - Make sure primer is not Winchester. 2 - Pull trigger on loaded case, if it goes bang, test complete.
