We hiked a long way on this day, over 15 miles, but the payoff was that we got into a lot of cool stuff…
…With Berger out of the market and no longer providing the required J4 jackets to the custom makers, finding 30’s on J4’s is mostly a game of buying up old stock… So, when I heard from Montana Mize recently that he had worked up a new 30 gr. flat base design, I was definitely interested! I got him on the phone and ordered a couple hundred of them to play with.
This year, I had one day that I called in seven coyotes. But, I went back again to that spot just recently, and got skunked…
Calling has been slow so far this year. The slow calling hasn’t tamped down the fire in my belly to just get out there though!
…for the guys wanting to neck turn for chambers that are not tight necks, be they factory or custom, the question of what thickness to turn to is a bit more muddy. Obviously, you don’t “need” to neck turn at all, for a factory or non-tight neck chamber. And of course, factory chambers are generously proportioned and sloppy of fit to begin with, so there is always concern for making things even sloppier…
There are several reasons you might want to outside neck turn, even if you don’t have a tight neck chamber. Probably the best reason is that neck turning is the “easy button” to producing excellent concentricity.
CPS stands for Competition Primer Seater. The original CPS from Primal Rights is a stand alone, bench mounted primer seater…
I got the idea to section a bunch of bullets at once for a picture gallery. Finally getting around to it!
…we spent five days playing in the Arizona Strip/North Rim country. A little over 400 miles of dirt. Had a great time!
I got a Lyman borescope recently and the first barrel I wanted to look at was this one. What I found was horrifying. Just gawd awful carbon fouling…
