  1. My Sako quad is intermittently firing and not striking the case. I have only noticed this recently when entering a 30 round competition at our club. When I reload the rounds, they fire ok so l assume it is not an ammo issue. The rifle has done in excess of 4000 rounds but hasn’t missed a beat until recently. Just wondered if anyone has had a similar issue, any help would be appreciated.

    The Redding Instant Indicator Comparator with Dial is useful for quickly comparing headspace and bullet seating depths within 0.001 of an inch. The headspace measurement is from the case shoulder to the base. This information is critical for setting the sizing die to achieve the precise amount of shoulder bump. To compare bullet seating depths simply insert a standard Redding sizing bushing of the proper bore diameter for the calibre you are using. Supplied with instructions to check and quickly compare overall case lengths and bullet base to ogive. One bore diameter bushing is included (as indicated). 

    Technical Information

    Fits: The Instant Indicator fits the cartridge listed in the description, however it may be used for a family of cartridges with the same shoulder angle 
    Function: Check headspace from the case shoulder to the base of the case 
    Notes: 

    • Information provided by this indicator is useful for setting up sizing die to achieve the precise amount of shoulder bump 
    • Indicator is supplied with instructions and requires the use Redding Neck Bushings (One is included for the appropriate cartridge)

    Having imported both entire rifles and various rifle components to be built from the US, I would possibly rethink the choice.

    If the price is $2k, that’ll work out the same in £. Then factor shipping, handling, cost of the US Export License, UK VAT and import duty, UK proofing, etc etc. I suspect the $2k will end up costing close to £3.5k by the time it arrives at your door.

    Absolutely no disrespect, but given that it’s likely going to cost £3.5k I would look at something with a better action, one that doesn’t have a pinned recoil lug or rail (less to come loose or go wrong). One of my rifles is a Defiance Mutant (tube gun action) and they’re nice. I also have an Impact Precision 737r...which is very very nice. I ordered 4-5 spare pre-chambered barrels for each gun in the various calibre’s I wanted. Tonnes of other stuff too. When deciding what to import, I went with the max I could afford knowing the cost and effort makes it more worthwhile.

    But again, for the cost, time and effort, I would either save some more pennies and spend on higher end spec to import to the UK (it is a hassle...so buy once and cry once) or possibly look at higher spec 2nd gun here in the UK. Plenty of AI’s kicking about.

    Just my opinion!

     

    Well said 👍

  4. Thanks for the info, l haven’t heard of Murom KVB-223m primers before? I have just purchased 6.5x47 & 22-250 Blaser with 22” match barrels so trying to work up some loads. I did think your loads were hot until l read about you coating them.

    Saying  that I have a Borden Alpine in 6br and l run that above the recommended limits with no pressure signs. 
     

    Can l ask what determines how often you coat your barrel and does this affect your cleaning routine?
