    buy the case tumbler, and treated media, for it, then put a very tiny drop of cae cleaning fluid in, or my prefered method, a little brasso, very small ammount. leave for a few hours and you cases will be shining, give a wipe with a cloth once you take them out and your ready to rock.... always wear laytex gloves, when handling the cases and media.....

    Was in italy a few years back and there was a snow festival, some of the carving was unreal and i will never forget it, but there was so much fog the camera would not take a picture..... thats one ace snowman......

    Right guy's here's a tip for you so listen up......... make a fairly deep cut when deburring the neck on the inside, not overly deep but enough that a boat tail bullet will rest nicely down when sitting on the case this improves the seating concentricity now when you have the bullet seated about 1/2 way in back of the ram a little and rotate the bullet through about 180 degrees, this will also improve the concentrity thus the bullets will be more accurate, seat the primers with the same pressure each time also, use the same movements, when doing each part of the reloading proces

    Unless you can shoot to the abilites of your current rifle, meaning if it's capable of 1/2 MOA groups, with a load that you can shoot that load consistantly, and know you will be on the money everytime, then a target rifle is the next step, And a custom is not necessarly going to be more expensive, If you buy a shot out rifle and use it as a donar action for the build..... i have seen the effects of wind on a .308 at 500 yards and shooting againest my .243 with 95 grain nosler, the .243 was grouping better, and the shooter also shot a .204 which achieved better groups again, and its a l

    Quite understand your stance on JB Snap Shot as it is very abrasive, however the secret of its use for removal of the carbon ring is to use it VERY sparingly. I have used it over 10 years and still have the same barrels that work flawlessly. I believe the people that have had things go wrong using JB is because they have used it either too often or incorrectly. Peter how do you clean only the throat without touching the rifling, or what way do you do it?

    guys i may have a brain freeze here but there is no listing for the 35g v-max in .222, i'm off now as i'm fooked, looking at a computer all day..

    for fox and deer i would not choose the 6.5x284, if reloading and testing 800 rounds won't be long ticking up, you must have a good job!!!! any one i know who had one one these is shocked at the barrel wear.... and will be changing the calibre, exbal and a wind meter are a must...........

    After cleaning with JB, clean with MC#7 and wet patch the bore until patches are not discolored. DO NOT USE PHOSPHOR BRONZE BRUSH AFTER JB COMPOUND as the abrasive paste and bristle brush could do something rather nasty to your bore? more people have told me to stay away from jb compound. i would be weary....sorry

    thats great grouping for a factory rifle, i'd count yourself very lucky...... nice to get a real shooter out of the box, Yes I am well pleased with it, however I believe that I have also found the perfect round for it and have the perfect (in my opinion!!) cleaning regime. Peter What do you use as a cleaner mate intrested to hear, and it's all down to bullet selection, do you just run the one brand and weight?

    the shot's are either worked out on the mil dots, or dialed in mate, but there is little room for guesswork at these ranges, what looks like a tiny error close could lead to your bullet heading somewhere you don't really want it to go at 1000 your judgemnet of the wind is critical, as well as bullet drop tables, read this for info on everything you need............. http://demigodllc.com/articles/practical-l...ting-equipment/

    you only have to fear the law if your not obeying it............... i get stopped a good few times on long journeys to some of the stalking grounds, most of the coppers say where you going, tell them..............cool is the answer, i even had them look in the back window of the landy and call their workmates over to take a look..........

    Seemingly, the .243AI will send a heavier load with more velocity than the standard round. Ideal for long range (up to 1000 yards) .Sounds ideal to me without going for something like a .308. yes indeed it will, but the bigger powder, with lead to fire cracking within the throat of the barrel with time, as the bore diameter is relatively small for such a load, barrel life is a problem too if running the .243AI at the higher end of the scale, also the cost of the extra powder to get it there a couple of seconds quicker needs to be looked at. a 20 MOA rail will do the job fine if

    difficult extraction is some case, cratered primers, or blowen back primers, sooty deposit around primer edge, are all signs of overpressure.... now in cases of loading, to little powder, is as danerous as too much as, the powder ignites it will result in a longer pressure build up before the bullet head is released, also the danger is then taht a squib round can get stuck in the barrel, and you may not notice it, upon firing another round which strikes the lodged round end of the line for the barrel. the volume of the case and the powder type used are all carefully considered, when re

    DO NOT USE lil'gun in the .223, it is a far more quicker burning powder, and will produce a very rapid build up of pressure, even with small loads!!!! you are playing with fire if you stray away form the recommended powder's for the calibre's you could end up blowing the bolt back into your face killing yourself and your GUN, give it to someone, or burn it off safely..................

    light just won't cut the mustard mate, velocity, and BC hence the 87 grain v-max then you got a long range bullet, or the 105 A-max should be a fun summer for me

    i'm just getting geared up for the longer range stuff, and the rifle is getting, a new stock, pillar bedding, new barrel, trigger worked on, i'm shooting a .243, one thing you WILL need is good glass so don't skimp on it, i've got my wind meter in the post today and my pda sohuld not be far away either to run exbal on. you can achieve great results with tweeking homeloads, and good glass, check out long range shooting on you tube with a .223 at 860 yards. nice to reach out there and touch something, but i've been shooting years, remember small mistakes at close range are big mistakes
