    Kelbly Atlas

    With the trigger hanger, there's not a lot of room for a decent sized pillar for the tang screw. I made mine from a piece of 3/8" stainless tubing with a 5/16" inner diameter. For a real deal BR gun, I'd consider using the front two screws and floating the rear tang. An insert in the stock for...

    Kelbly Atlas

    The coned bolt feeds like a real BR action. Kelbly's makes a .173 spacer that works with the Atlas .692 headspace and .250 recoil lug to allow the 1.115 Panda spec barrels to fit on the Atlas coned bolt. I have mine set up that way....all my Panda/Kodiak barrels fit on it.

    Kelbly Atlas

    Is it a coned bolt or a flat bolt?

    Let's talk about bullets

    Pete, the point up die I mentioned is the die used in making the bullets. The after market dies sold for 'pointing' bullets are a different animal and can potentially open the door for what's termed in the computer world as 'undocumented features'. 😖 I just finished pointing 1,000 .30 cal...

    Let's talk about bullets

    Good morning from sunny South Dakota. :) Having done blind testing with bullets having up to .015 base-to-ogive variances from the pointing process (intentionally done for testing), I never saw any 'on target' accuracy loss. My conclusion is that on the list of things that matter...

    Let's talk about bullets

    Some time ago, I made a simple ogive profile-to-base checker for my .30's. Rather than indicating from one thin area around the circumference of the bullet, the contact area is the entire nose of the bullet. It makes you rethink the whole base-ogive measuring thing.

    Barrel Sight Hole Plug Screws

    Tikka's come with 6-48 plastic plugs for the base screws. ;) Can't imagine those setting off too many alerts.

    Bullet choice strictly for 100 yards score matches.

    By all means....if you don't have flags, that's Step #1. 👌

    Bullet choice strictly for 100 yards score matches.

    It may not be the bullet. It could be the tune (do those .150 groups have a verticle shape?), gun handling, a bag/rest issue, etc. But I would try some other bullets, too. A flat based bullet on the .790" jacket rather than the .825" jacket would be what I'd try. The BIB 67gr would be an...
