Started to feel the recoil after 30 rounds or so. The light Stevens Tupper ware stocks may be great to carry in the mountains but are a little much on the bench after awhile.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Thanks Roger.....more great info.

You're a credit to AR!

bartsche what kind of wall thickness do your CBC cases have?
The reason I ask is I bought 100rd of loaded CBC 139gr ammo back in the 90`s that came in brown mil-surp style boxes. I found after firing them in my old M96 that my RCBS die wouldn`t size them back down enough to hold a bullet. You could spin the loaded bullet in the necks and push them in the case with little pressure. The neck walls were literally paper thin, maybe 0.009"/0.010" max.
I tossed the brass and never messed with CBC again

Well Roger, if you gotta shoot whatever critter it is 30 times, something is wrong.

Great info. Alas, I have none of those powders.

FNM TARGET = .012"

CBC = .0115"

Bosnian = .0095"

PMC = .011"

RP = .011"

FC = .011"
It seems that my sizing die takes them all down far enough.
Use to have that problem with my Carcano cause I only had .264 Diameter bullets.
Having a set of Butch's bushings would help. roger

Thanks, It seems they are falling in with every thing else in your stock. I must have had a bad lot or maybe my die was on the large side of tolerance...

Do you know how to measure the inside Ø of the die? Its not too hard. Let me know if you want me to walk you though it.
