I read somewhere, I'll try and find the link, that if you have thermometers in your house that read in C. you need to load with the metric press regardless of caliber.

I wanna be sure I am reloading correctly here in the good old USA;

I am loading for a 22/6mm Ackley Improved. So I have a metric case and standard bullet.

Should I use a metric press for resizing, since it a metric designated case and the standard press for seating the bullet.....since I am in the USA....but if in Canada....would I use the metric press to seat the bullet and a standard press to resize?

George can you help me with this I don't think these other guys have a clue....

Well the results speak for themselves, you've obviously gotten yourself a metric press.


If you buy a standard press, your bullets would come out concentric to the bore, and with the bases perfectly perpendicular to the cartridge base. That away as long as your rifle is on face, everything would be perfect.


Your rifle is on face isn't it?

No, Mike. Where did you learn about double rifles? If you reverse the rifling it takes care of the problem. By that I mean measure the rifling twist from front to back rather than back to front. Works every time.

PS. However, my finnegan pin is a Westley single pin rather than the traditional double pin. John Taylor wrote of this often--either if fine, just keep it the same to avoid confusion.

I'm not so sure about the counter rotating rifling guys. That's usually reserved for DR beginners to help them sort out centrifugal regulation about the Y Axis. George would be well advanced beyond that and now ready to deal with the complexities of critical rotational forces of the right barrel, since that one is fired much more often than the left, assuming he knows to pull the front trigger first - always! That's one of the primary reasons firing the back trigger first is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Excess wear on the non critical barrel can cause all sorts of issues such as changing the point of impact with a change in point of aim! NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD at all!! Come to think of it though, this may be the root cause of the issue George had with the rifle from the start. I wonder if he inquired with Butch as to whether the rifle was built with counter rotating rifling or if Butch just assumed, rightly so, that George could handle critical rotational rifling? Hmmmm ... something to think about for sure! And to think, this COULD have avoided the entire sight filing, sight lock-tighting fiasco from the get go! Such a simple question to have asked before breaking out the files.

Todd,

Are you aware of the issue with Y axis misalignment in regards to isogonic force and hyper sonic compressor stall causing point of aim shift and point of impact irregularity right? This is a rare yet serious condition also caused by using the non critical barrel to often. But I thought both barrels were critical if they had counter rotating rifling? I guess I've got a lot to learn! What if the both counter rotate to the outside of the Y axis?

This would all be so simple if he would just use a metric press!!!

A little insurance provided by using a little black max loctite just on the edge.I learned this from firing my big bores.Big bore recoil will knock sights around.This is the only way POI will stay unless you have those sights where you have to knock them in and there is a tight fit.
