Problem Installing Barrel in Short Action

[GaCop]

GaCop, There are a lot of great powders for the 175's with that 1:10 twist you can even shoot the 185 or. What do you have? All I have at the moment are 175 gr SMKs. They seem to shoot better with Varget rather than 748.

Is this Jim (James) Skinner, of Apache Gun Works fame ? Yes it is.

I have thread files that I use to clean barrel threads. You can't really use them on a nut or receiver but you can repair somewhat external threads very easy. I have used them for years when I was a millwright.

They do come in handy once in awhile, don't use mine often either, but for those times when needed I'm glad they're in my toolbox.
