Ouch - that really bites!
Can believe that they chambered the wrong caliber. Glad they are not surgeons. Hope they make it right! Definitely will not be recommending CLE in the future. Sorry D3 - Hope you have something good to drink for therapy! |

CLE has asked me to return the barrels. They said they will refund the cost of the barrels, the machining and the shipping.

Sounds like they did everyone a service by getting out of the custom work. Best of luck D3 - on to Plan B, which I’m sure will work out for the best. |

New arrival.
This is the second year Area 419 has done a special run of black Zero presses to support U.S. Special Forces. This year they did a run of 20 supporting the SFA Chapter 38, which is the 5th SFG,, which IIRC, is the most decorated SF unit. (maybe @mikeinNC can stop by and offer a history lesson). As you know, I did my time in the USAF, but I support these charities and fund raisers every chance I can, plus the press looks really nice blacked out.

Ranges were closed today so I took some time to setup a press head for the 6BR, .260R and 300PRC. It took longer to clean the dies than to get things setup.

I know it’s only @ 100fps better, according to load data, but real world it sounds more efficient than its competitors. I like the PRC (obviously). I think it's a good compromise between (for example) the Winmag and the Norma. I can get better performance than the Winmag, but not the speeds of the Norma. Not sure speed is the best measure for me as being on the east coast with the density altitude the way it is, and only the occasional chance to stretch out past 1,000yds. I might also get a few more rounds of barrel life out of the PRC. Regardless, you have to go with what you want or you'll always be wondering or spending money twice to get to where you want to be. |

My OCD is kicking in, while I can use the Type 4 SAC Seating Die for the 6BR and .260, I went ahead and ordered another so I have consistency.
If anyone needs any .260 dies, hit me up as I'll sell them off and just use the SACs.

I have heard of Clinton House (SC) About 3.5 hours from home (Myrtle Beach). Not heard of Colemans Creek but it is actually closer and it looks good. About 2.5 hours from home Both are definitely on the list. BTW - You have to join as a member to get access to the 1000 and mile ranges. I will check out Arena Training's website. |
