Jim, that's exactly how I had it pictured in my mind. Very clever indeed. Merry Christmas Gene Beggs

Jim, very clever idea! Think I'll make one of those for my Kennedy box. Gene Beggs

Ol' Beggs again. Plus 1 on that!:)

Excellent Post Greg, it couldn't be said any better. :D Like you, I have often wondered why so many shooters have trouble understanding what seems to be a simple concept. I'm glad you are getting good results with, 'Just off the lands.' I have been experimenting and teaching in the 100...

Hey Brickeyee,,, ,,,I hope I didn't run you off by poking a little fun at you about trying to advise Dans 40X.:eek: You're too valuable and knowledgeable to lose. We benchresters need all the help we can get in trying to unlock nature's secrets of extreme rifle accuracy. We've made lots of...

Ol' Beggs again. To quote Strother Martin in the movie, "Cool Hand Luke." "What we have here is failure to communicate." Mr Brickeyee, you are evidently an expert in your field as evidenced by some of your comments, especially the one where you say, "I used to design welding procedures in...

Mr Retired, you are obviously a very knowledgeable man of substance and I can understand why you and many others prefer to remain anonymous on these forums but I would be greatly honored if you would send me an e-mail telling me a little more about yourself. genebeggs@cableone.net Thank you...

Good Point You make a good point Pete. Your reasoning is why I like to create my own seat for the bullet nose of my Wilson straight-line seaters. If you use the seater stems as they come from the box they will work fine for most purposes but if one wants the utmost consistency for benchrest...

Good Post Pete ! Pete, I have read and reread your description of how you find the lands and establish seating depth and I must say, 'It is, no doubt, very precise! :) May I say again what an honor it was to shoot and visit with you in my tunnel facility. I hope you can stop by again...

Thank you Michael. Now I remember, "The Accurate Rifle" by Warren Page. I loaned out my copy several years ago and I guess it was not returned but I certainly enjoyed reading the book. That was only about 35 years ago as I was getting back into shooting after a lifetime of involvement with...

Interesting It's so interesting to hear how others accomplish the various tasks involved in loading for extreme rifle accuracy. Case prep, fireforming, sizing, bullet seating, powder charges, tuning etc. Some go to extreme lengths wasting time with trivial, obsessive compulsive procedures...

Good Question Francis, You bring up a good point and back when I used lighter neck tension, I had that happen a number of times. I can thank Mr. Ed Watson for teaching me how to prevent the bullet from being dislodged as you open the bolt. Simply open and close the bolt handle smartly three...

Pure Gold!! This is pure gold and should be memorized and used by any and all benchrest shooters! :cool: Later, Gene Beggs

Read carefully, Boyd's post number 11 Mr Fellow Retiree :cool: You say "There is no definition of JAM nor of HARD JAM... none." Boyd Allen described it perfectly in his post number eleven. Any extension beyond touch will cause the bullet to stick in the lands. This can be felt easily...

Feedback from the tunnel Best method I've ever seen for finding the lands. I've used exactly this procedure in the tunnel for years. Gene Beggs

Richard, most benchresters will agree with you and Alinwa on this tight-neck vs., no-turn issue. If one is after every last little bit of accuracy for competition purposes, most will have more confidence in a tight-neck chamber setup where loaded round measurements are within .0001. Me? I...

Ol' Beggs again. Wilbur, again, I'm with you on this. Many years ago during a discussion among the Midland Shooter gurus, I remember Harold Broughton stating, "The barrel is the final bullet swage." And you know what? I think there is a lot of wisdom in that statement. Sorry Alinwa...

I never cease to be amazed at the mass and weight of such vessels. Man, all that steel. :eek: And I guess every square inch of it will have to be sandblasted and painted with some sort of epoxy coating that will endure the harsh environment they operate in. Can't imagine what one of those...

Alright ! Wilbur, glad to hear you've been thinking about this issue and have come to the same conclusion that I did some time ago. My experience with the no-turn 220 and 6mm Beggs cartridges has proven to me that there is nothing gained from laborious neck turning as long as you have high...

You came to the right place. Welcome aboard. Gene Beggs
