I just bought my FART. Guys that are loading precision rifle what ratio are you using for pins to brass? I size and then tumble for 15minutes. The way I tumble now is using a harbor freight tumbler that I made a container out of 4" PVC. Do you guys notice the inside of the FART getting dirty/staining from the carbon? With PVC the carbon would continue to stain and get to a point where the brass would come out gray, dull. Think this is why the Thumbler uses the rubber insert, since the carbon will not stain it. The containers that came with the HF tumbler confirm this.

So I just got the +7 in and with the spring being 18inch longs I'm able to get 12 in the tube. I know some guys cut it down to get more or to ligthen up the pressure, so question is should I do anything to it.

Thanks, didn't know if there is a rule of thumb how far out you can go. I'll go witha +6, hopefully be 11 in the tube and 1 in the chamber. What about chokes IC and M ? Is there anything else that I should get, other than ammo? Have about 600 shells now. Wife hates going to walmart becaust I'll buy a box everytime. Little here and a little there adds up quickly. Did take the mid beat, screw for the bolt release and add a small amount of blue loctie.

Hey guys, just picked one up and I'm in love. It's so much smoother than my JM Pro that I sold. I found the 2 type of chokes most run but for some reason can't find it anymore. Can someone help me? IC and M Clarkson Optima HP correct? Also with a 24" barrel 6+ extention tube will be the longest I can run without issue correct?

Ugh... I just bought a SP-01.... Atleast you guys will be getting more money from me. lol

Make sure the added grip tape does not prevent the mag from fitting the USPSA magazine gauge... it sucks to get bumped to Open. could have a machine shop knurl it

Looking to get some base plate extensions and if at all possible something like the Arredondo setup (how it locks up just like the factory mag) is preferred. However I am open to anything. Reliability is number 1.

I just got my forster dies for .308 and love their FL and Mircometer seating die.

Would this be ok with using different lots/headstamps of brass? I would assume so since the neck is blown out to my chamber. However that is the OD and not the ID. ID would be the dependent on amount of "blow out" and the wall thickness, correct?

Thanks Mike!

What about Redding National Match? I always hear Redding or Forster

I use RCBS dies not. But been thinking about getting Redding match or competition set dies as they produce fast less run out. Yes, this a semi and yes there are many different things that can effect shot placement because it is a semi. But looking to extract more out of my rifle through dies. I do load on a Lee press, would there be any benefit in going with a Redding type single stange or RCBS perhaps? I have no trouble hitting targets with it at competition but these are 1 moa or 2 moa targets at distance.

Well...things are not going to get interesting.

Well at least you didn't say my method was wrong lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Deer, I measure the case mouth ID then wall thickness. Then measure the pill. I take multiple measurement and average them and use those to calculate neck tension. I do not turn my necks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
