GRT is based off measured user data. I did interact with the creatir a few years back but he sadly passed away. I sent him velocity data for 458 lott. Basically the more common calibresband bullets have more data. So 375 H&h is common but Degol bullets will have less data than say Hornady. My...

I think you probably used the most efficient way of doing it. I found that all dimension are interconnected. So you may adjust magazine width to get cartridges to stay in the magazine and then you need to adjust the feed lips to fix alignment and you go around in circles for hours, each change...

I use GRT but Have compared it to Quickload and to normal reloading manuals. I find GRT and Quickload pretty similar. I think both are pretty conservative with regards predicted pressure and velocity. I have had one load workup that went past their dangerous pressure before showing pressure...

I haven't noticed any size differemce. Tyre tread pattern pick up mud while crepe sole does not. Tyre is more flexible and a bit heavier. Size is also pretty consistent across models but they all feel different. Some have double thickness leather in the toe box while other are single thickness...

Is for hunting or punching paper ? 6x is plenty of magnification for hunting out as far as I can make reliable hits ie 200m. However I feel that extra magnification is nice on targets. Hunting, I like to see the animal and be able to line up the leg/ pick one third of the body etc. If you zoom...

You can just adjust the set trigger off. I did that on my 458. They did the same triggers on all their 550 rifles- so from 223 short actions to medium 30-06 actions to the magnum DG actions. My 30- 06 trigger is identical and I am pretty sure interchangeable with the 458 trigger. I also adjusted...

Cz 550 is not a bolt/ firing pin safety, it blocks the sear/ trigger assembly. I have been able to polish and set my 2 CZ to have excellent triggers. Safeties have been fine so far. Blocking the sear or the trigger seems pretty even to me. Blocking the firing pin is better but not without its...

I have 5 in the rifle +10 on my belt for my 458. I do school trips with that carry plan, taking groups of students out into the Bush on walks- usually have a few extra rounds in my backpack. For hunting with my 30-06, I have 5 in the rifle + 10 to 15 in my pack. Then I often have a box or...

I think zero replies tells you the story. Most people can see the difference instantly. A few look at a distant object or the dark corner of the room and see the difference. But if you ask for the metrics and testing procedure then you are greeted with silence. I would put Swarovski glass...

My trusted rifle is a CZ 550 in 458 Lott. It needed work to feed flat nose solids. It also came with the front sight soldered at an angle and an odd piece of plastic behind the recoil lug. I bedded both recoil lugs. It has been tested under pressure and now I trust it. Every rifle can fail, all...

Pillars are mainly to stop compression of the wood an isolate the screw from wood expansion and shrinking. Splitting of a stock is often started on the end grain by the action splitting the wood. So to stop that you could put epoxy bedding compound between the stock and action or a steel insert...

I have been using a beeswax based polish-dont know the brand on my belts and leather slings etc. I used the polish that comes with Courtney boots-also a beeswax polish. But for more than 20 years I used parafin wax shoe polish. I dont see much difference in performance, I end up wearing them out...

Hacksaw or power saw blade ? I am pretty sure you can find one at the right dimension. Last resort a circular saw blade but that will need a fair bit of cutting.

So what the smith did was put the rifle in a support like a lead sled or similar and set up a straight edge equal distance from the bore centre and action centre and measured with a vernier to the bead and then the backsight V. There was 1/8 " difference. Then you could warranty the rifle.
