Thanks, Okie John Originally Posted by Brad If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Not long ago received a LOP lengthened and Terry's Loggerhead comb on a MacaMillion stocked Custom 7mm RemMag from him. Top Notch as usual. Hint. Just sayin'................

spence1875 Campfire Tracker S Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 3,507 Likes: 1 Texas	I just do my own now. Got a cheap grinder at harbor freight. Bought a few used pads to grind and fit to wood for practice. I have done about 6 for myself and friends. They look pretty good, not pro quality but you have to look close to notice it isn’t. The toe angle is the tough part. I may but one of brownells fixtures. One thing I learned is pad grinding makes a mess. Be safe all. Spence
