You will want as much length as possible in the rod, especially if you have a guide with a solvent port. Buy at least a 44".

(y) Yeah....I want some of that stuff too :lol: A good bore guide and a brush is still my best friend.

Wipe-out with accelerator does well for powder residue and copper fouling, but carb-out is the best product I have found for serious carbon buildup in the throat area. None of them are very fast after 200+ rounds have gone down the tube. Some of it boils down to how clean you really want your...

My Ruger #1 is an 8 twist and throated for the heavier bullets, but will shoot 55 grain varmint bullets fine. Using Benchmark powder with the 55's you will get over 3700 fps with a 26+ inch barrel. For the heavier bullets, Varget, 8208 or VVN135 are great options. With the lighter bullets you...

Thank you for clearing that up Cole. I just ordered a new reamer for an "improved" 6BR that has an OAL case of 1.550. When the print was first sent to me it had an OAL of 1.560. I know how much those cases shrink when they are improved, and that is why it was ordered to that case length for the...

The Sinclair tool does work well to give you the chamber length. You could also have the gunsmith do a chamber cast. Not sure what you mean by "pie on your face if you listen to someone else". There was a question asked by someone looking for advice and a couple of us that are familiar with...

270WSM lengths will work (does on my rifle). It depends on the specs of the reamer that was used to cut the chamber. If you know the gunsmith, he should have the print of the reamer unless he rented it.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned the Delta Point with all the Leupold users here. I have one on my home defense Rock River .223 and really like the fast acquisition with the red dot. Dot lights up when it senses motion, so battery last forever. I have only shot it out to 100 yards, but it is spot-on.

Load a dummy round and place an orientation mark on the neck of the case. Chamber the round with the orientation mark facing out towards the ejection port. When you extract the round, note where the mark is on the bullet in relation to the orientation mark you made. Try this a few times and see...

What I'm trying to figure out is why they always seemed to give the "60" to the smallest guy in the squad...I might have weighed a buck 40 back than. :roll: Wish the same could be said now...

Great little press to use with a portable setup to take to the range if you ever do load work where/while you are shooting. I bought one a few years back for that purpose.

Yeah buddy! :mrgreen: Then there was humping "the humbler" carrying the doggone receiver of the good ol' M2 Browning... Dang. That receiver alone was about 60 pounds as I recall. Uncomfortable too! Much smarter to carry the spare barrel bag... Semper Fi, Guy Never had to hump one of those...

Yep...we were usually assigned to a rifle squad when out on a mission. The number 23.6 pounds is etched in my mind forever. My a-gunner didn't like what he had to carry either :lol:

Get a Wilson seating die for the best chance of Great concentricity.

I am a huge fan of the swift A-frame bullets,especially if you are hunting with calibers that some may consider marginal. I have taken three elk with a 7-08 and the 140 A-frame.I don't think they are necessary when hunting whitetails or similar size big game. The partition is a fantastic bullet...

Bryan Leitz has Pierce build his F-class rifles, You are making a great choice having them put their action on a Bartlein barrel.

R 25 and Magpro have both worked well for me with 130 & 140 grain weights. I would bite the bullet and go with the 6.5-270wsm brass over the 7mm brass. Great caliber for LR hunting and shooting. I have about 400 rounds down the tube of a #4 contour barrel that might have another 5-600 rounds...

rmarshall - your .260 is a great cartridge and the Creedmore or Swede will not do much if anything more than it does with similar weight bullets. What you need to do is get a 6.5 barrel burner like a .264 WM to see much improvement in velocities. A 140 grain bullet in all three of the smaller...

You will like the action. I have another on order for a build in a .284 Winchester.
