Ever have a dream about your lathe

[Cloudrepair]

My priorities must be messed up.
I dreamt that my lathe was put in storage while I was gone and it was lost.
It was so real I woke up think damn all my tooling cat heads, buck chucks, cutting tools then I realize it was just a dream then I still wanted to run down to the shop and check.
Man all the thoughts that when through my head.

Now I got to get this barrel in the lathe,7mm 11twist pac-nor but I still can't decide 7saum,
7-08AI, 280AI, 7-08?

Go 280AI and use Barnes 140 LRX

My dream involved a read head female human and my lathe. It did not end well for the lathe.

Thanks I love that cartridge but wouldn't a 140lrx be a little long for a 11twist?

Maybe but not for the RED HEAD !

You should be great up to a 160 Nosler Accubond. I have a 7mm 4G Bartlein in 11 twist also in the magnum contour. I have a brand new JGS 7 Rem Mag reamer, STW, 7mm/06AI, 280AI, 7mm/338RUM, and a 7mm/300WM.

Now the 7mm/06AI sounds good for the 06 brass I have not sure I can convince the wife I need another reamer just yet?
Is it worth it for my 06 brass even with my 280AI ?

I`m just goofy using Lapua brass in everything I can.

For lapua brass seams like a good enough reason there, but then I'm going to need more brass maybe I can blame the nightmare?

Maybe the 120LRX

Maybe the 120LRX

I haven't seen 120LRX's I'll keep looking.
I'm going to try them 140LRX's to
It makes me think of my other 280AI 9 twist I made up some 168LRX rounds and they all made one hole but they were going through the target sideways.
Actually I think I measured it and it was
9 1/4 - 9 1/2

Go 280 AI and use RWS brass. YMMV

I think I've decided with the 280 AI.
Im not familiar with RWS brass ?

 

[DaveTooley]

I use Lapua from time to time but I've used RWS for decades. Lasts forever. I have some cases that have I know over 50 firings.
You can get it Huntingtons.
