  1. The rifles are setup with a .043 rim thickness in mind which is CIP minimum. Nevius design is great for match and BR application, but a poor choice for a repeating rifle if you want reliable function over the course of fire. Something along the lines of a modified Winchester 52D chamber is what most people are using.
  2. Yes indeed. A grail of mine for a while.
  3. Having a rationalisation of reloading equipment and have the following surplus to requirements. 7 x H4831 (not SC) 9 x H1000 5 X Retumbo 2 X BLC-2 1 x H414 all are new unopened 1lb containers and priced at £45 per tub. postage not possible.
  4. Apparently Barton Gunworks import HS Precision currently
  5. I’ve had a lot of unhappy customers with Christensen, couldn’t recommend. Have seen some shocking factory ‘bedding’ on their rifles too. have fitted a few Hardy tubes, just average button barrels with some carbon wrapped on. Shot ok, but with the price not far from a Proof, most people would rather opt for one of those. As I always tell my customers, the main benefit of any carbon barrel is weight saving and bling. None of them shoot better than the equivalent Bartlein etc, and generally you are double the cost of the equivalent steel blank.
  6. Having supplied and fitted more Proof Research barrels than most in the UK, I can’t say my findings would be the same as yours. I wish Josh all the best in his new venture, but there aren’t enough examples of his products in general use yet to give an accurate picture of their true performance.
  7. JMS Arms will supply you with the Latest update available. They ship very quickly too
  8. Totally useless contraption. It takes longer to remove the rectum from the device than it does to gralloch the deer. I used to cull deer as part of a team and we'd take 30-40 a week, any supposed time saving devices like this were discussed and tested. this one was discarded after first session.
  9. Interesting to see the process. Thank you for putting the videos together.
  10. Bradders, MikMak and Baldie all had terrible results with them.
  11. Have handled and looked through one, great scope optically, but I was disappointed with the limited 130cm total elevation adjustment.
  12. As soon as I saw the Tru-Bore it made perfect sense. Rigid workholding and the ability to align barrels axially and radially. You do still need a rear spider or spindle bush to control barrel whip at high RPMs and a workaround to allow bore flushing whilst chambering, but I think it is a fantastic piece of kit for any professional gunsmith.
  13. That load was 59gr H1000 with a 140 Hybrid. Think the guy is running 61 now.
  14. Haven't put up anything on here in a long long time, so thought i would :-) First up are some chambering pics of a recent 6.5 SAUM Build Krieger 8.5 Twist Blank set up in the Tru-Bore Alignment System Untitled by Custom Rifle, on Flickr Trying out the SSG dual bushing Range Rods..... no longer using these as the 2.75" Interaipd indicator is quicker and more repeatable.
