I understand now.
I think I will stick with my LW .308 and lee 113 f .

Thank you.

Not a stupid question at all.

Gun barrels are hard as fuck.

But, here is the thing with barrels, bullets and guns, they are precision instruments and they need to be that way to perform best. What I’m saying is, even trying to remove that much steel “EVENLY” all the way down a barrel PERFECTLY is next to impossible to do by hand and it would probably take FOREVER….

Much easier overall to just buy the right barrel.

We still have to size the .257 bullets for the .257 bbls. 😉

I was thinking that I can make my barrel bore bigger to use .257 Lyman mould without sizing the bullet.

Man, I’m Jealous!

Warmed up a bit. Been getting all the shooting in I can! 😀

Knife,

I certainly am, seeing a lot of ancient Buddhist Wats, eating a lot of great food, although the wife and I did have a couple days down from food poisoning from street food.

We are heading for Hanoi, Hue and then to Hoi An, Vietnam in two days, unless the protesters in Bangkok have closed the airport.

Keep warm buddy.

Hi ya Roach, Your on here!!! 😀 Get a good connection at a Hotel???

How’s it going over there? Still eating your weight in great Seafood? 😀

No doubt a good lap may change if by as much as .0001 But not .003

by that time, the bore is ruined! 😥

Knife

No.

Not laughing, the only stupid question is the question that is not asked
