More thinking, usually a problem......

Erik,

What about the mechanically centered Tony Boyer type method? Is that still valid? I've been out of this for a number of years.

That issue with that is that you do not know at a simple glance if you are centered or not. The only thing you are doing by zeroing the scope at the bottom is that it will allow you to use it like a micrometer and know where you are at always.

Yep, I think I'd rather have it like your method. Should also work with different loads thru the same barrel, after each zero is obtained. Cool, thanks.

Yes. Each load would have it's on zero for each yardage such as:
Load A:
100 yards = 17 MOA
300 yards = 21 MOA, etc.

Load B:
100 yards = 15 MOA
300 yards = 18 MOA, etc.

Erik,

This might be off-topic but have you had issues with your co-ax and Redding dies not being able to bump the shoulder back far enough? Trying to resize some .25-06 brass and I can't move the shoulder back because the die is bottoming hard against the sliders? They worked fine on my old press. Will I need to have some material ground off them to get them to work correctly?

No issues for me. Take a little off the bottom of the die.

Same as the HF lathe. As you saw, I got the HF lathe and paid $399.00 for it using a 20% off coupon.

 

[wheelgun7360]

the grizzly i'm looking at is the micro mini lathe. it's a 4"x6". i'm thinking it should work for my intended purpose though. thanks allen
