Bergara B-14 Ridge or Christensen Arms Mesa
Both 7mm-08 new rifles
Which would you choose? Why one over the other? Or neither and maybe something else? Remington 700? You can't choose Tikka I already own one.
I'm looking for a precision hunting. Rifle. Lighter wieght then my Tikka with the...
I'm going to follow up on you talking me into the Giraud triway. I'm going to say it works very well. To start I bought a cheap 3/8 porter cable corded drill. Then a electric drill gimbal. Drill holder for us simple folk. That's what I typed in to search anyway. The drill has a hold on button...
Variable speed so it would be fine but the one I was thinking of is only 1/4" collet. Thank you for replying. I use my dewalt drill for the wft so I have options. My brain was just sitting in my reloading room going through ideas.
What is the size of the shaft that goes into drill? I have the wft. Love it but chamfer and deburr at the same time I'm in. Just was thinking about a motor. I have a small router that I don't use much. If it had a 1/4" shaft that might work. I'd bet it's bigger though.
Yes I will be keeping the brass separate. I use lupua and I found some starline for him. It'll be easy now to keep them separate but if lapua doesn't come off of some 7mm08 brass I'll be stealing some starline from him. Good to know about the hard to close issue. I am pretty good about paying...
So a little follow up on my quest for perfection ish. Got my chamber gauge and made my case like instructions. The .1 they say to make it smaller than max trim length wasn't enough for my son's ruger and my trimmer wouldn't go any smaller so I grabbed my 357 mag le Wilson trimmer and got it down...
I have found my Tikka 7mm08 likes the lower end of the powder charge on every bullet I've tried. 45grains of imr 4350 is getting close if not compressed in my lapua brass. That was a 154 interbond. That was last year so my old brain is a little fuzzy sometimes.
This is good to hear. I picked up a couple boxes to try. I like the 175 gr partitions in my 7mm08. Should I say the rifle likes them. Havnt had an oppertunity to shoot anything but a running yote that had just got shot at by the neighbor opening day. I missed too. Can't find any noslers and with...
Yes this trimmer is fully adjustable. I did just find out you can measure the chamber in the last couple of days. 2 years in and still learning every day. I just used your link to order the Sinclair case length gage. Its only for hunting puposes but I am trying for the most precise ammo I can...
So got back out to my quiet space. Lol just ran all my nosler brass through the trimmer. Not a single burr. Did a few of my lapua no burr. So I guess I'm going to chalk this up to thinner softer brass. I have another question. Yes the wtf(world's finest trimmer) is cut from the neck or should I...
I just thought of something wonder if the drill I have my trimmer in is going in the right direction??? I have a memorial service for pastor of almost 40 years. He retired a few years ago but was one of the greatest men I've ever meet. I'll check when I get home and the honey do list is at least...
I have the WFT that I use for trimming. I don't think it has 100 cases on it so sharpness I don't think is the issue. I've yet to get to my lapua cases or my nosler cases. The ones having the issue were all hornady cases that were originally factory ammo. Might be they are thinner then what I've...
No I don't crimp. It's at the bottom of the slight chamber the end mill puts on the case. I just did a bunch by Rotating the case on that slight angle in the above photo. Seemed to get most of it. Just feels like if these things had a steaper angle on it. They would remove farther down the...
