Thanks Thanks Kyle. I will email you before the summer. I am not ready for registered matches. I still dont have a dedicated BR Gun. I know you can’t be competitive with the gear I have. Some of the shooter I knew in my area have all jumped on PRS type stuff. That is not for me but I will...

In the 2009 and 2010 I shot a few club matches and attend a regional match at NTSA in Denton, Tx. Also made a couple of trip to the Okie Shooters in Luther. I was just getting in the sport and was learning to tune and read flags. I was a little more drawn to score shooting. Family situation...

I My oldest want to build an Elk gun. The groups is want to go with required the hunter be able to shoot a 3" three shot group at 500 yards. I am just assuming we would have to rebarrel and restock any of these rifles to get to that kind of accuracy. But until we bedded the actions and...

I have the opportunity to get a couple of used hunting rifles form an elderly friend that I care for our church. All used and most some signs of wear. A couple of only one Rem 700, one 7, and one 660 - I think all long actions. One Interarms FN Mauser action with an 3006. He has a dozen...

Groups to be competitive? I am trying to practice for my to-be rookie year in F/TR by shooting 100 yards with my rimfire. I am shooting my bone stock Sako FinnFire Varmit with a bipod using CCI standard velocity ammo. This rifle has a history of throwing the first shot after setting for a...

The Sinclairs are on sale. I think I will try one out. Tim

I am planning to make it to a few matches this year... Hopefully. Life seems to have a way of changing my plans. I have been practicing with a Harris with notched legs and a swivel lock. I am starting to realize this isn't this best way. Looking at the 3rd Gen Sinclairs. What are other...

Before making a purchase, I encourage you attend a BR match - even a club match - as a spectator. Ask questions. Walk around and look at the equipment being used. Like yourself, I have never heard of windflags. Cut my groups in half with one weekend of training. Even of you have to drive a...

Here is a decent resource. It is several years old but gives some reasonable comparisons about what you get for the $$$. Luck, Tim http://www.accurateshooter.com/optics/target-scopes/

Shot with??? I had the joy of watching Mike shoot several club matches at Denton a few years back. He posted a whole lot of 1s back then and even some 0s. I have seen his name at the top of the list more and more each year since then. I remember my jaw drop the first zero group I saw...

You might also try Jon Conley. I had some of his 116s that shot well in my 30BR a few years back. I haven't talked with him in a few years, by I guess he is still making them. http://conleybullets.com/ Luck, Tim

Sierra load table Here is a copy of the Sierra load table for the 30BR. They used a 1:10 twist for their load development and used up to the 168SMK. My favorite part is the comment at the bottom of the introduction, "The 30 BR is a good example of a cartridge in search of a niche. There are...

H-4198? How could forget H4198. I have a lot of H4198 on hand as well..... Tim

Lou, I have to claim my lack of powder knowledge here. What is It32? Thanks for the other suggestions. I will start with the Benchmark. I have a can that have never opened. Tim

I have never loaded a 223 with anything smaller than a 69 SMK. I am building a 223 sporter for my 10 yr old. 1:9 twist with a 19" barrel. I want to start with the 52s to minimize recoil. After he is comfortable shooting it we will switch back to the 69 SMK and the 75 AMax or some Berger...

"instructions"....? What is the meaning of this foreign word you mention...? :cool: At least that is my policy for most instructions. Too many instructions where written by the engineers that design the product. I would much rather help from someone that has actually done it before. I am...

I probably did overkill with the Kiwi neutral paste wax. One pop with my hand and it the action came right out. Tim

Thanks to all that gave me input on my first bedding job. This is a rifle I am building for my 10 yr old as his first centerfire. Will be a 223 with a factory sporter barrel shortened to 19". Action is a Savage LA that Fred at SSS did a T&T on. I actually used this with my first 30BR for a...

"Decon".... totally missed that. Thanks for the info on time. Tim

I have got my first stock set in Devcon Plastic Steel putty tonight. How long do you allow it to set before pulling the action out of the stock? My wife officially thinks I have lost it with the panty hoes used to hold it firm in place. Thanks, Tim
