For those of you intent on reaching way out there to the lands I would suggest partial neck sizing. It will help align the cartridge in the chamber and allow it to seal more rapidly upon firing. I've dabbled with reaching the lands but found no improvement doing so. Alot depends on your particular c...

I wanted to be a knight when I was young.

Aftermarket sounds so cheap. Buy a custom 8)
Pac-nor polygonal 11 twist. Sounds like it should shoot anyway :)
This summer I'll be looking into a real barrel with an attention to detail.
I havent been looking into them much because I knew if I figured out what I wanted I'd have to get it.

But the downside to that is, if the necks vary that much, most likely the body of the case does too, so those cases will never give the accuracy you're in search of. ) Wow Rick Never thought of that!!! I quess thats the last nail in the coffin for those 600 Win cases that've been a thorn in my side...

I only bought one box of Noz 32's seeing as I had such bad luck with thier fortys. They do look sexy in that little skirt. They're next on the list.

Of note, the data, well...is just that...data. I think, some of the targets show a lot more promise than the data. acloco Just to be sure you know I wasn't besmirching your data.

Have any of you ultrasonic guys done any side to side accuracy comparisons with your squeaky clean brass vs carbon still in the neck brass? I have polished the neck interiors and found an improvement in accuracy but its not an easy procedure. With a normal vibratory tumbler I would need to repolish ...

Just for ha ha's I checked. Berger recommends a 1-9 twist for thier 50's so I guess a 1-6 would be required for a 70. I just dont think its happening. I did find one post on benchrest central that mentioned it and the poster said the .20cal would be a contender at 1000 yds. I just use the products I...

I'd have to agree with Glen. I'm not sure any .20 cartridge could push them fast enough to make them viable at the extended ranges they would be designed for. Does anyone make a barrel twist that could handle them? The market for Bergers 50 grainers must be small enough why 70? Someone building a 20...

Its a big country and different traditions/scenarios everywhere. And yes feral dogs in parts.
I own three large dogs. 1 like new leash and 0 chains.
Its a good thing no one in my neighborhood would consider shooting any dog not chained to a tree. My dogs might not bite but I will.
