Hands down the best bench vise I've used is the hydraulic one they sell in Brownells. I've fooled with a half dozen different one, notably the "screw down" ones, and most of 'em just flat out suck.

I keep overlooking that.

Barrels can be incredibly tight. I watched a guy use a 6 foot cheater bar and all he did was tear his bench apart.

Forget that method - you'll kill yourself doing that. You want a deadblow hammer. A coupla good shots and they come loose.
The worst are Enfields(really tight) and believe it or not, Remington 700s. Remington apparently has taken to locktiteing in the barrels. There's a coupla ways to beat this - a little heat, dumping the whole action in kroil for a coupla days, or sheer brute force.

D5CAV, A friend of mine lent me one of those rifles a few years ago. I procured several hundred rounds of original Berdan primed corrosive ammo and take it to the range now and then. I have kept a fair amount of the brass, since I have a stock of Berdan primers, but do not intend to buy dies for it at this point since it is not (yet) my gun. Email me if you want to buy the fired cases I have.D5CAV wrote:I will banish this rifle to the back of the safe for the time being.

Thanks for the offer of berdan-primed brass. I have a couple of boxes of new manufactured ammo with boxer primers.
I don't have any way of removing Berdan primers, so Berdan primed ammo goes to the scrap brass dealer for me.
This not my only rifle, so the oddball caliber means it gets taken the the range last. It will likely sit in my safe a long time before it gets to the range.
