Clayton Martin - excellent shooting! Old man Clayton is always in contention in our region.

Much better weather today, breezy switching conditions. 200 LV 1. Ted Heindselman .3126 2. Clayton Martin .3180 3. Peter Smith .3377 LV Grand 1. Clayton Martin .2932 2. Peter Smith .3070 3. Ted Heindselman .3072 HV 200 1. Alex Calder .2217 2. Vic Halverson .2368 3. Greg Reed .2749 HV Grand...

In Holton this weekend. 86 year old Canadian Clayton Martin is in the lead! Keep in mind that this is not unusual...Clayton often ends up in the top ten at our Eastern Region matches. Clayton won in the afternoon with a teen agg. I hope I can be like him when I grow up-if I make it that long...

One Piece with TIG welded handle Our bolts are a one piece body from chrome-moly steel, and we've been TIG welding our stainless steel handles onto this body for the past couple of years. We used to silver solder them, but too many shooters decide to exchange brass from one barrel to another...

Fall under a quarter-inch could be the reason. My rifles are set up with 0.270" to 0.280" of fall. It's possible to see a little createring with a 0.075" pin using warmer loads. It's nothing to worry about unless you are piercing primers. In fact, it's a good indicator that you might be too...

Insufficient FP travel That is not what I said. I said that a common problem is insufficient fall; and a new trigger hanger with the appropriate hole spacing to match your trigger may or may not fix the problem. I also said that the firing pin spring may be weak and would need to be replaced...

For optimum precision... Do you want the bolt to open easy, or do you want to shoot well? You only have one choice. Are you sure that it is the original Remington spring? A heavy weight "speed spring" might have been installed, which would cause a hard bolt lift...among about a half a...

Are you doing the machining yourself? If the extractor won't clip over the head of the BR cases, send it back and we will modify it for you. The only time a BR bolt face won't work with PPC cases is when a plunger style ejector is installed. It will work with BR cases, but might not be...

lighter action Weight will be approximately 26 oz. This is 4 oz. lighter than a standard Panda. Greg Walley Kelbly's Inc.

Thanks for the information 308Nate. I wasn’t concerned about barrel whip as much as a massive chuck being out of balance (depending on how it is adjusted and oriented on your gimbal plate). It might be a problem in my Mazak at 3300 RPM, but it sure looks like a nice setup otherwise…much...

Since the action will be lighter, a little more weight can be added to the stock to compensate. This will make a better balanced rig with the LV barrel taper that BR shooters typically like to use. We've decided to keep the tenon/HS the same as a Panda/Kodiak/Grizzly II for compatibility...

Interesting Indeed! I wonder if there are balance issues at high RPM? Greg Walley Kelbly's Inc.

There are a lot of very good responses to this thread. The "mother syndrome" is spot on! I'll add another - I hate to be morbid, but it is a fact...many of the benchrest shooters have died. One can see the posts and reminders on a weekly basis on this website about another benchrest shooter...

Tighten the screws to the dovetail as tight as you can get them without breaking anything. Tighten the split rings no more than 10 in./lbs. There should be a small gap (~0.020") between the top and bottom ring tops. Greg Walley Kelbly's Inc.

Don't! Bill and Jerry have given you very good advice. If you try to bore the hardened chuck jaws, you have a good chance of a disaster...ruining your lathe and/or injuring yourself. The right way to do this is with a tool post grinder, and it's a very tricky job to do it right...

By removing the imperfections left behind from the reaming process. Brass flows into these imperfections (often seen as rings) and makes for difficult extraction with high pressure loads. I've never seen a chamber reamer from anyone cut a chamber with a finish that didn't require a little...

Someone had the following equipment listed in the classifieds a while back: Includes: a) one deep hole drilling machine with high pressure drill fluid system, b) one sine-bar equipped button rifling machine, c) one barrel contouring ... Google didn't cache the rest of the post, so PM me if...

Ignition testing Yeah! I resent the jab of being called 160 lbs. of mutton. I’m only 155 lbs. of mutton right now – I’ll be up to my 160 lbs. this winter when I become a couch potato :o) I was thinking of another application for the slow motion video – inspired by German Salazar’s primer...

Another clip at regular speed Thanks for the kind words guys. I actually see some room for improvement in my technique…which is why I tried this experiment in the first place. This as another video at regular speed – and the faults in my technique aren’t as obvious when viewed in real-time...
