Patrick, torque wrench is a good idea with pillar bedded actions. I won't put a number on it 'cause pillars and bedding material differ. "moderate tension" is the term I'll use, same number on front and back. You should be looking to " moderately", firmly seat the action into the bedding, no...

Mark, It's hard to come to these conclusions alone. One needs competitive "buddies" to bounce this stuff off of. Much experience goes into conclusive barrel evaluation. Some barrels look good early on, some come to life a little later.Different bullets and tunes have a significant influence on...

Calvin, I'm of the opinion that a good rifle,bullet,powder,tune, overcomes anything YOU can do to it, BUT......... All your rear bags look way too hard.Get a screw driver and sift a bunch of sand out of the body first, the ears second. And, As I posted before, get yer head out of the upper...

.222 vs. 223 It's all about that long, lovely neck. The .222 is just more esoteric to work with. Same reason woodworkers prefer cherry over oak.The Deuce is beautiful to look at and beautiful to work with. Some reloaders savor the moment, some reloaders just want to go "Boom".

That's the stuff that makes us who we are Bernie. :) I couldn't imagine a better "first BR central post" from You Joel

Calvin, don't buy into the hot rod BS. Tune around 3250. Joel

Good one Al, One would have to almost have been there to be able to re-tell that story with such e'lan. Wouldn't they Al ?

Yeah, Inspirational to say the least. Somehow it was like he wasn't in that wheelchair, he transcended his earthly limitations. I'll bet Bronco is just crushed without him.

Not a lot of meat on a hamster.

Recoil, A 6br beats on you more than a 6ppc in a LV rifle. Shoot all day,day after day, the ppc preference becomes obvious.

Thanks Gerry, I know this is hard for you. Herb was always missed when he wasn't around a BR match or club shoot and always a pleasure to be with when he was.He always treated me like gold, treated everybody that way. A few years back at a Camillus Winter league shoot he showed me a bunch...

See now, here's the problem with BR central, JD, a perfectly normal, bullet makin', BR shootin,addict. is havin' a little melt down here. Maybe it's girlfriend,wife related. Maybe his old beagle got runned over,maybe the doctor gave him 6 months to live( but doc, I can't pay my bill in 6...

Vern, Yeah, but what balance,where? Changes with different dies, jackets. No set formula for success . Gotta make em and shoot 'em. I had 6 guys shootin for me on four different dies, different bullet weights, different jacket lengths. When it worked it worked for everybody, when it didn't...

Vern, really not that complicated, and all BR shooters should have a handle on this ,so here goes. Stability is primarily a bullet length--- barrel twist equation with a few other little things like velocity,weight,altitude,temp,humidity thrown in there. For all practical purposes, a 14...

Small world afterall, Yeah, I remember being up there one old time crazy winter to see family.The entire UP had snow plowed so high next to the roads it was like driving through a tunnel system. An Olympic luge run in a blue and white '56 Chevy Biscayne with 4 bald tires and 5 screaming kids(...

Al, Small world, My mom's from Calumet. We might be related ? What's Mr's Alinwa's maiden name, French or Finlander ?

Nothin' all winter, over here in "lake effect country". Weird, lookin' at that old trusty snow shovel, sittin' all lonley like, in the corner of the back porch. Where's that E-flat harmonica of mine ?( can you hear-- that lone--some whipp--or-will ) Yeah, I feel real sorry for you guys.

Jerry, I didn't realize his Airstream was that old. Compared to my "Hacienda"( 1969 )and the "end of the world" generator that Joe Metz gave me ( it uses one cup of 30wt oil to a gallon of gas and pull starts with a section of plastic coated laundry line{ from the '50's }) I figured his rig...

Lee, don't know anybody running that kind of die,something may have been modified to work with different length spacer bushings on top of the sizing bushing to size the neck longer or shorter ? Does the bushing rattle around a lot when you shake the die up and down ? You should talk more with...

Vern, a few years ago I went to the, Sportsmans show in Harrisburg PA. Lot's of outfitters from all over the country promoting their hunts.I kinda noticed all the flatlanders were big guys( like me),all the mountain area outfitters were shorter,leaner,smaller guys.Them mountains will wear you...
