I used to wash lanolin lube off with solvent - wax and grease remover from Mitre10. Have now moved to One Shot and just give the outside of the case a cursory wipe with a rag while watching TV.

For the group size thing, Ballistic-X on the Apple App Store works well for me.

That said, for most now I zero a pair of callipers on a projectile, then can quickly measure the outside edges.

Well, not wanting to be too much of a contrarian, I like small steps, so 0.2gr would be my call. I'm having some success with the Eric Cortina method of load development, and small steps with powder...

This time the summary is two words: pleasantly surprised.

Given the first depth-seating test series indicated a narrow node within the range and strong hints of a node at the end (longest...

Thanks distant stalker for that extra analysis. I will let you know how I get on with the next test batch in a few days.
R93 - the cold bore first shot velocity difference and clean bore vs...

Soooo, some results...

"Inconclusive" would be the one-word summary. Maybe my expectations were a bit high, but I'll need to do a bit more testing. A couple of good groups, but not yet Cortina's...

Cheers Cyclops.

Hi, Mainly 308 for F-TR (Barnard S/Trueflite) and 6 Dasher of F-PR (Barnard SM, Bartlein, KRG Bravo). Have been having trouble getting the Dasher to shoot well - some days it is outstanding, other...

After watching the Erik Cortina YouTube videos and following this thread, I thought I’d give it a go. Thanks DannyB for starting it up. I waste far too much time and too many components on load...

Hi,

I’ve been using this forum for a while – it is great, so thought I’d introduce myself.

Most of my shooting is long-range target shooting – F-TR and F-PR. I enjoy tinkering with different...

Yeah, it feeds the OCD amongst us nicely.

Interesting recent research and articles on seating depth/jump on precisionrifleblog.com too.

I often wonder about the repeatability of the “stable”...

Hi,

Anyone out there got a .204 Ruger "Match" reamer (tighter neck and shorter throat) that they would be prepared to part with, or know a gunsmith that has one?

Cheers, M

I got a Rem700 one in from Brownells. Bit of drama with permits and stuff, and took about 6weeks, but price was ok at about $375US inc postage.

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a KRG Bravo stock for a Howa 1500 short action? Reloaders seem to have sold out now. Any help appreciated. Cheers, M

Righto,

On your letter, there is an e-mail address right at the top - service.delivery@customs.govt.nz. You send an electronic copy of all the things they ask for in the letter.

I got an...

Thanks Moa Hunter,

Rather than bothering you, I got on the phone and have some clearer instructions from Customs, which I will follow, and if it works, I'll post them here.

Cheers, M

Under-rated if you get a good one.

I purchased my first one - a Gold Crown 4x40 about 35 years ago. It has been on a spring powered air rifle ever since and never missed a beat. I've had some...

Hi,

Soooo...

I've got my electronic import permit (pdf is locked so it can't be printed), and I've got a letter from Customs saying my part (a stock) has arrived and they need the import...

I’m kind of with Flyblown on this. I tried 8208, BM2, 2206h and 2208 in my 20” 308, and there really wasn’t much difference. Just go with what is accurate.
