    • Laurie replied to the thread 6.5x55 load development.
      ^^^^^^ Exactly so! A tight fitting patch is near essential otherwise the bit apparently following the rifling slips and gives an...
    • Laurie reacted to Sonicdmb73's post in the thread 6.5x55 load development with Like Like.
      Tight ish fitting patch or brass brush is the only way I have found to be consistently accurate measuring twist. Nylon brushes just...
    • Laurie reacted to 25 Sharps's post in the thread 6.5x55 load development with Like Like.
      Are you sure it’s a 1:11? That’s an odd twist for a 6.5x55 designed for long, thin bullets? Normal would be 8-9” twist.
    • Laurie replied to the thread 20 year old n160.
      Yes - it's most probably still fine to use. Look for any signs of breakdown / dust forming and give it the 'sniff test' holding the...
    • Laurie reacted to McKenzie's post in the thread The price of cars! with Like Like.
      There an awful lot to be said for spending £5,000 on a car & running it into the ground over 5 years/80,000 miles. Which is what I’ve...

      I had a near head-on collision with a buzzard on an estate road on the Blair Atholl estate once. I was driving slowly downhill from the...

      There are considerable capacity variations across makes (and even production lots within one make) of 223 Rem brass. Certainly enough to...

      Not REACH-compliant, so unavailable for three years now!

      Buy a kilo of N133 and live an easy life.
    • dont claim to be in the same class but all the rifles I am building for my own use or customers who are open to taking advice are at...
    • Laurie reacted to tim@tcs's post in the thread Effect of faster twist on short bullets with Like Like.
      Indeed the ideal calibre trials used a radar to plot stability along with hanging paper sheets to check for yaw. Some impact upon...
    • Yes, you're correct. Bryan Litz amongst others has shown how this old theory is quite incorrect. The original reason for using the...
    • Laurie replied to the thread GT 85 spray.
      Yes, used GT85 for years. Good stuff and cheaper than lubes supposedly made for firearms.
    • Laurie replied to the thread Reloading data for 6.5 Creedmoor.
      N555 is an excellent powder for 130gn and heavier bullets in this application. Unlike other Viht N500 series grades which are very 'hot'...
