    Neck Bushing Sizing

    Mine shoots factory 150 ELD-X’s the best. I’ve got 140 accubonds and 162 ELD-X to try as well. Haven’t tried ELD-M’s in it.

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    So to get this thread back on topic since it seems to have gathered some unnecessary fluff… I took the following advice: Chamfered and deburred the necks, and squished the 150gn ELD-X into the new unsized starline brass. The result was a neck diameter of 0.3110”…subtracting .003” results...

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    This is exactly the stage I am in; trying to consume and understand a ton of information. In hindsight I should have bought a regular (non bushing) FL die to start as I did not realize the added complication a bushing die would introduce. I do appreciate everyone’s input and follow ups.

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    Just got the bushings in Monday .306, .307, .308 and only got to play with setting my die up for about an hour. Hopefully will have time next week to get a real update to post.

    New shooting bags (front and rear) from S2H

    What's the fill type/weight? I've just started playing with my first "real" bag from armageddon gear and already noticing how much it improves my shooting. I filled mine with a probably 65/35 mix of git-lite/sand and it's probably 80-85% full.

    Bolt coating after fluting

    Thanks for the clarification on nitride being a treatment. I admittedly am ok with the $50 for a purely cosmetic modification to my bolt. My question remains…are there any “performance” benefits to nitride over leaving the raw stainless

    Bolt coating after fluting

    Looking at sending off my tikka t3x lite stainless bolt off for fluting at LRI. Is there any reason to have them apply a coating afterwards? Either nitride or cerakote? If nitride will improve performance/durability I’d be happy but if it’s purely cosmetic I’m happy leaving it “raw” stainless

    What's in your bino harness

    Two purposes: 1. I saddle hunt and 50/50 leave the bino harness on. I use the carabiner to hang the harness on my strap 2. It’s a fully climbing rated carabiner so it’s just a good back up to have for when you’re in and out of trees. Can be part of a emergency decent system or help prevent...

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    That’s along the same line of thought I was having, almost seems better to go .306, .307, .308

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    So spoke with Hunter at Starline and he confirmed that ball mics are necessary and that I should chamfer the necks prior to measuring. Got some ball mics and chamfered a random selection of 12 pieces of brass and averaged 0.0137” neck wall thickness. So 3-4 thou thinner than calipers…. The...

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    This is what I’m planning to do, was measuring just to have a starting place as I don’t want to buy the full range of suggested 7mm-08 bushings (.304-.312).

    I have a 3 and it still is going strong. Battery still lasts a week. My one recommendation is whatever you do get the Sapphire glass. My bezel is incredibly worn and there is not a single scratch on the glass. I've worn this thing all over ship yards for the last 6-7 years and the fact the...

    Neck Bushing Sizing

    so I’m measuring an average of 0.01675” neck wall thickness across a random pull of 12 cases from 100 pieces of new starline brass. Granted I’m using calipers and not a ball mic so that could be causing in accurate readings. My largest wall thickness was 0.017” and thinnest was 0.0155 most...
