Harold, I'm major jealous!
Not just of the rifle, but your being able to go out and do the shooting.
My escapades with custom rifles hasn't been nearly as successful as yours, but have had some beauties. Mostly with Coopers. Never with the sophistication of bench equipment you use. I did find that my major success accuracy tuning several of my Vartarg 20's occurred with the 32 grain Blitzkings and either N-120 or N-130. Wish you could have found some to try. I wonder if you have tried LT-30, but it might be too fast for the heavier bullets you've been shooting. I've had a lot of fun following you on this thread. Wish the pics were still visible. Keep it up! Alex |

Harold,
I'm sure there is good reason, but, I don't know it. Why is the scope so high above the barrel? Regards,Ken.

Harold......
Quirks.........I see we share one.
Except I I.D. lapped ring halves a bit differently. Mine are on the opposite side, and are centerpunch hits......one on the front and two on the rear......in between the ring halves. Once assembled.....they are hidden. Ya made that neck turning gearmotor yet??? Kevin |

Thanks, Harold,
I didn't know free recoil was used for conventional rifles. I always think 'Machine' when someone mentions free recoil. Ken.

Love Sinclair Int. and their products. However before you drop the coin on their Power Center, look for a good deal on a used Sherline lathe. Will do everything the Power Center will and much, much more. Plus, you get the versatility of variable speed DC drive. I looked and looked for a reasonable gear reduction motor to purchase. Everything I found (new) was either too expensive or of questionable torque strength. I am really glad I went the route I did. Huge, huge gain in what can be done with it. |

Im getting a BR rifle made very similar to your Full up BR rig. Panda action, lilja 11 twist and mcmillan stock, but its the reamer print that im worried about. I had a tikka hunting rifle rebarelled to 20VT and the reamer the smith used has a .050" freebore. When i seat the 40gn bergers to touch the lands i have only .058" of shank in the case neck, and the 35gn bergers are only a bit deeper. Ive been emailing PT&G and the last reamer print they sent suggested a 0 freebore. But im thinking that not be the best way to go. In your honest opinion seeing that you shoot a 20VT in competition, if you were to get a new rifle built and using either 35 or 40gn bergers, what would you specify the freebore to be? Would you leave it as it is at .032" on top and .019" on the bottom as shown on the Todd Kindler reamer print? The Todd Kindler reamer print you mention is the print dated 4/15/2010? I cant work out how to add images here or else i would add the reamer print to see if its the same. Cheers Michael Last edited by michaeljp65; 11-04-2016 at 03:31 AM. |

Why not buy the reamer with the throat removed and then get a separate throating reamer. Seat your bullets where you want them in the case. Your smith should be able to throat it exactly . You can't trust getting a reamer from them with the required throat.
