I just snugged them up in good and tight mode without going too crazy and some blue lock tight as always. The whole assembly was an exact fit so the tolerances are bang on. The scope hasn’t moved and I was shooting 1 oz slugs

@@kingbee4474 I use my synthetic 5/30 left over from my oil change jugs. That and premium gas without alcohol as it’s draws moisture

@@Richard-D which gas station has that gas? If you are in Canada. Thanks

@@kingbee4474 good old Shell :)

@@Richard-D so it is better to use the most expensive Shell gas with this snowblower? Thanks

@@Richard-D how many liters of 5W30 synthetic oil do I need to fill it after flushing all the oil? Thanks

That is awesome. He enjoyed having it and knows its legacy with be passed on to you. This thing surprised me. Indestructible and proves older was better than the new cheaply made stuff.

@@azrls43185 I’ll post the new stuff when I get back. The 47.5 imr4350 soft points are at about 1.5 inch groups. The 196 bthp are also about 1.5 inch groups too. I’ve got a ton of footage and need to get back to the range :)

I believe we slugged it but I’ll double check. These are fun old rifles. We could hunt with these old rifles in close for sure as it’s quite the smack when the bullet hits the targets

@@ethanhines838 it’s weird this year. All the pine trees are dropping sappy pine cones as well. I’ve never seen that.

@@nicolemorris6474 I should have video’ed him inside a suitcase snooping

@@rachelmcknight425 I missed taking a video of him in a suitcase waiting for use to unzip the other half of the case. He knew something was in there the second we came in the door.

@@CarolineLee-h1g he’s the perfect dog…minus the barking at strangers and other dogs :)

He can be aloof

That’s his happy place

@@stephaniepiazzese2602 it’s true. He jumped into that fire pit jacket

@@BackyardDispatcher My son’s condo neighbour is a dick and would deserve that. Got to get an amp

I’m thinking of loading up coarse rock salt for the bag removal thing. It mg way of being a kinder gentler person :)

A friend giving you their old junk android would work. I’m in the same boat :)

Did they ever get the iPhone app working?

It’s hardened steel. We’ve done close to 500 without a scratch on it.

I’ll let you know how it does as next week we’re hitting the range with slugs. It’ll be with and without a rifled choke and we’ll measure groups. So far it’s been great

IDK what economics you are using but the fact you can push powder coated lead to dam near jacketed velocity means you are saving money and makes casting for rifles much more available to the common loader.

That’s the goal. If you like to shoot and if you’re a hunter in theory you could feed your family for next to nothing depending on how far you have to drive to go hunting. I’m doing this for fun and to learn new things. Damn my wife’s venison steaks are good though. Video coming soon.

You don’t have to handle lead anymore once they are coated, there is no barrel fouling from lead and you can squeeze more fps out of a round before having to go to a copper jacketed bullet. Traditional store bought bullets are getting out of control price wise

St Albert Alberta Canada. Just outside of Edmonton. -40 in the winter sometimes but in the summer it’s 80-90 at times and you can read your paper in the backyard at 11 pm if you want :)

The lawn got aerated yesterday and fertilizer today. It’ll all get raked out and cleaned up with large cedar chunks around the trees :)

I’ll post some shots of old manuals and how the loads have changed over the years

We’re using old 3030 brass resized and casting our own bullets from wheel weights so we’re back to cheap. Factory ammo and factory bullets are brutally expensive these days

It seems to be easier to clean as well after using the chalk. We’ve got to sit down with some acetone and give them a good cleaning again. The heat is the biggest thing. We might rotate between 2 different calibers if we’re running a bit hot to give it 10 sec to cool between moving to the alternate die. This Wed night we’re back at it casting lee 7/8 key drive slugs, 1 oz and .690 round ball. If we’re on a roll we might do some more Lee 170 gr cast and well as some 7.62x39 and 7.62x54 Mosin Lee 155 gr .312 cast stuff.

Basically. It uses bolt holes that were used as pins to hold in the trigger assembly. It’s quite a decent setup as it’s snug and has been holding up to some heavy slug rounds. We’re getting ready to range test some new roll crimp slugs so you’ll see it in action shortly.

@@Richard-D Thanks for the quick response! and looking forward to your slug-fest test!

Perfect. Same idea but different caliber. Saves money all round :)

I couldn't bring myself to do that to 30-06 brass since I have several rifles in that caliber. But not having a 270 and plenty of range pickup all of my 8mm was once 270 Win brass.

@@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor I just picked up a 3006 now too. I’ll check forums and the range as I’ll be needing more now :)

@Richard-D 30-06 is a great caliber but factory ammo is insane. In addition to the surplus rifles in 30-06 I have a Remington 721 (the father of the Remington 700) in 30-06. Best thing is Remington 700 stocks fit and I have a Magpul with ACS magazine, talk about modernizing an old rifle.

@@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor I’m going to be reloading for 3006 shortly with some 178 gr amax and 180 gr cast bullets and test the group sizes until we nail it

Yup. He had it set for longer but we shut it off waay before the timer went off

@@Richard-D I don’t think a lot of people realize the huge difference between a quality powder and something cheap. I Powdercoat caterpillar parts at work everyday and that’s how we do it

@@Richard-D I have so many yellow bullets because I get the yellow powder free

@@AmmoshortageNP that’s s good problem to have :)

We used an old oil change pan to catch the bullets like morons. We needed to rinse or nothing would stick. I noticed after the first batch of powder coating. As clean as it was it still left a residue

Even though an anecdote, en masse, anecdotes reflect reality. I have heard quite a bit that using a proper coating negates the need for a gas check. Do you suggest getting molds that do not have a gas check then?

@@m4rvinmartian I have a lot of molds but maybe only two that are gas check. I have never been a fan of gas checks and haven't used em for a decade. I have not experimented with coated gas check bullets and really? see no need to. If i were to tho I guess I would try sandbag rest testing at 25 yards with gas check type bullets that were coated with some having gas checks and some not.
