Re: Tang sight vs. quality ladder sight

MM has got it exactly right. Tang mounted sights give you a longer sight radius which improves accuracy. i have learned to place my thumb alongside the rifle's tang rather than over it.

He has the right idea of taking off metal from the front of the rim. Gives proper headspace and you don't have to re-cut the primer pocket and thin the brass around the flash hole. A drill press and a new sharp file might work for you. .010" should go fairly quickly I get the theory of thinnin...

Re: Is there a cartridge machinist in the house?

Why does it have to be off the forward edge? Can’t you just take it off the rear and deepen the primer pocket? Aren’t most USA primer pockets already cut deeper than European? IIRC primers don’t need to be deeper than the rim more than .050” but often they’re more like .130”
