Great info, thanks for that. I spent ages looking for something to add some texture to mine, from nonskid grit for boats to truck bed liner. Never though about using this underneath a colored top...

This is what I have done. I ended up with an RCBS and Lyman FLS die, so I bored out the neck and shoulder section of the Lyman, plus shortened the base a little. Now I can size hard up against the...

I sectioned one of the cases to check this out and there is no sign of thinning. They have only been fired once.

Hello Gents,

I recently purchased a 7mm Rem Mag Browning X-Bolt and also bought some once fired Norma brass off Trademe.
I found that the cases all had a bad bulge right in front of the belt....

55.5gr 2209
162gr ELD-M
Tikka T3
18" Barrel
2716 FPS

This about 0.5gr less than the hard limit for this rifle.
The throat is longer than a std 284 so the projectile is seated with the BT...

Link to this years one.

I am also already signed up.

Yeah, I was limited in size for this one because of the front sight. I'm tossing up putting a red dot or small scope on it as my eyes are not the best. If I did that, I would likely remove the front...

I made a suppressor for this a while back and have not shot it since making it. So I took it along to the range on the weekend to sort out a load for it and see how it shoots with a suppressor.

Try the buy and sell section, post a WTB thread.

Wow, those look fantastic. Nice work on the checkering, it's not easy and most don't have the patience for it. I have checkered a couple of stocks and it will take a very special project to get me to...

Looks great. My lathe would be the very last tool I would part with.
It's very satisfying making bits for your rifles and reloading tools.

I have a bunch of threaded inserts in the bench top

I came up with a 4 bolt pattern (150x75 from memory) and...

Cheers, I will be using it for service rifle and already have some Speer 140s to try as they are the cheapest 6.5 proj in NZ I can find.

I also want a load for longer range, so will be working on...

Thanks, this is great info. I have full length sized all the brass I have as it's all once fired but from multiple different rifles, all PPU. I intend to collet neck size only going forward, with a...

I have an M38 Swedish Mauser on the way and will be reloading for it. I'm planning to use 140gr HPBT projectiles and trying to match the service load velocity (from what I understand this is around...

Glass beads from The Tool Shed. Regulate the pressure to get different levels of satin on different materials. For example, I find 30-40psi is plenty for a fine satin on aluminum before anodizing....

I have a machinery house benchtop unit. I made rubber seals that sit in holes that I cut on each side wall so I can pass a barrel and action through. My recommendation would be to pull it apart when...

Im also using Eastwood powder from Resto Supplies. Im a fan of clear. I think its mostly because I cant see the tiny imperfections in the coating when its clear. Light blue works well, black is...

Cheers, I was pretty sure they did not offer them as standard. I'd rather not deal with the hassle of ordering a custom one. To be honest, it would be faster and easier for me to make a collet from...

Hey Folks, I like lee collet dies a lot and have been trying to find one for 284win. Seems they aren't available in NZ if they are even made at all. I have heard a 7x57 die may work with a bit of...

I have made chisel handles from Rimu when I was young and didn't know better and they did not last at all. Split pretty quickly without hitting them at all. I also made some tool handles from manuka...

Ill be there. Should be great fun. Have heard from ex defense force guys that the range is very nice.

If you would like to come, you can shoot any rifle you want in open class. Ideal would be a...

Im also interested in the nickel plating. Was the plating hard enough to not gall on the brass cases?

I have found Hornady 62gr SP to be better in my Howa than the 62 FMJ. Average group is about 0.8moa at 100m. I'm running them around 3000fps with 2206H from a 20" 1:9 barrel.

When I had my 284 barrel chambered, I seated the projectile with the boat tail level with the base of the neck as you have done and sent the dummy round and barrel to Mitch Maxberry in Wellington who...
