Neat! I sat at a picnic with Dean and his wife and Cyle at Coors about 1986. We discussed how to improve the 32 Miller. I had been to the Super Shoot that spring, and talked to Doc Palmisano about what made the 6PPC so accurate. Higher loading density. So, when Dean asked how he might improve the original Miller, I just suggested shortening it. He says "how much?" and I said 1/4". That is where the Short version came from. Cyle says, a set of reamers is about $350; a lot for an experiment. I had designed a wildcat 25 cartridge for long(er) range Rockchuck shooting, and JGS cut the reamer set. I got the reamer print on the cover of Precision Shooting Magazine along with an article on the cartridge. JGS owner Jim Cuthbert liked it so much, he gave me a credit for $350. I hand the slip to Dean, and eight months later my wife and I drive up to St Onge and pick up my Miller. Mine had the sideways wire trigger, about an ounce.
A couple years ago, I owned two, an offhand and a bench model. I am more back to Rockchuck shooting, after three trips to Africa.
I own Neal's HiWall false muzzle 32-40 Schuetzen rifle. Single shots, I have shifted to Borchardts more these days. I also have one of Argus Barkers' DST Borchardt Schuetzen rifles. And, a couple CPAs'. It's a terminal diease, single shots.
I did some horse trading with Joe Dobrzynski (sp?) editor of the ASSRA Journal, and got my dream rifle; a Pope Stevens with complete tool kit in 33-47 and Fecker scope.
Like I said, it's a terminal disease. I did actually sell my Millers, Earl Hines bought them from me.
