baldie Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 The barrel wasn,t damaged in any way Andy, fortunatly. Did a .223 wylde this morning, and my heart was in my mouth as i started chambering. No problems whatsoever. When something like this happens, you have allsorts go through your mind, did i do anything wrong ? etc. It was simply a bad reamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casebar Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Which model Deckel milling machine was it Alan,did it fall or was it dropped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgobang88 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Which model Deckel milling machine was it Alan,did it fall or was it dropped! Hi Casebar, A Deckel FP1 Mk 3. I was not there otherwise you might be hearing about me on the news (GBH or murder)! Apparently the **** who was moving it decided to save time by dragging it out of the storage unit by connecting a strop to his truck and taking off at speed. The mill caught the lip of the door to the storage unit, toppled over and was dragged down a step into the yard. This guy was supposed to be an experienced machinery mover who was recommended to me by an engineer who had known him for about 10 years. At this moment I am not a happy bunny, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dave, Any particular reason why you're using .223 Wylde? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I thought it would give better performance with the 77 grain smks Mark. It was a toss up between that and the .223 match.Plus the ability to use 5.56 milsurp safely really. My old barrel [sgc ]was a wylde chamber and it was pretty good.I,ve put a lilja 3 groove on, and am very interested to see how it wears/performs in the abuse we csr/pr shooters put them through. Early morning edit... PTG have already been in touch with apologies and the immediate start of a replacement reamer today. That is excellent customer service !
