    C'mon now, you gotta keep at least one of those 10/22's. A good Volquartsen can sling 10 into a tree rats a$$ faster than anything.;) Not that you need ten, you just want to make sure its DEAD. I don't kill anything, just sounds funny to me. Good luck with your addiction, you must not be married.

    Barrel length vs velocity

    I can see my 7mm bullets through my scope starting from about 400yds all the way to the target sometimes when the light is behind me. I am just a plinker (rimfire), and like to see the bullet to get a newly mounted scope zeroed. Jim

    Fixed Rest vs Bipod Accuracy

    I like using the bi-pods because it's convenient, less to carry to the bench, faster to set up and lighter to tote around. I see no accuracy difference at 600 -1K, but the only gun I have with a pod on it is a 6BR to compare with. Curios, what matches can you use them in?

    Stock making?

    Yeah, it will be a little tough, but I have a few of my friends picked out. He said we could work something out. It took me awhile to find a couple big enough. Jim

    Stock making?

    Thanks Boyd and Don. That's good to know. I think I'll be working with the Eastern red (though I'll probably paint it). I don't think I am allergic to any trees.

    Stock making?

    Kent, why laminate? Is that for cosmetic reasons or structural? I was thinking of polished aluminum rails on the forearm sides to strengthen the forearm after milling Buick holes in the bottom. Jim

    Stock making?

    I am thinking of making a stock out of Cedar. Does anyone have any info about this they would like to share? I am making a saw mill now and will need to learn a lot. It seems that this would be a good choice, weight and strength seem good not to mention it smells good and doesn't rot:). Any...

    what cal would you choose.. Just for fun???

    for fun I'm lovin my 284 Shehane. But I think my next 600 yd barrel may be a 7-08 or something based on it. Accurate, barrel life, great ballistics, low recoil, availability of brass, what's not to like? I see a lot of 7mms in the future. There's gotta be something that will run with Greg's lil...

    Barrel change

    Righty tighty and lefty loosey, is about all that is required after you have the barrels.

    Please Read, Another Perspective on "Score Shooting"

    Charles, that's kinda my point, about sorting bullets and buying up barrels til you find a hot one. It may be more difficult to shoot the smaller group, depending on weather and quality of components. But that's just it, that's what it depends on, not just the ability to read and adjust for...

    Please Read, Another Perspective on "Score Shooting"

    for what its worth, a new shooter I am a relatively new shooter. To date, I have only competed in IBS 600 and 1000yd. One thing that I do not care for is that it seems more important to shoot a little group than to actually hit the bulls eye, as opposed to carrying at least the same wieght or...

    A modest propoal . . .

    I've thought about this to. It seems that what ever you can think of, there will be logistical issues. I had an idea of a correction factor. Maybe give a value to an average group size or score for a relay. Kinda be like giving the wind a value. I guess you measure a wind meter at record string...

    new lathe

    Joel, did you get Garret squared away with his AR? I was just thinking about a device that could possibly combat the effects of a misaligned tail stock or bed ways. I'll get me some time on the machine before I go trying to solve the problems of the world with it. I'll stick to a bought pusher...

    new lathe

    Thanks Don, that about sums it up for me. I know, I should use the search option first. Reading that thread covered a lot of what I was thinking about. At work, we use tapered pins to hold against shear that require drilling and tapering. Sometimes done with a mag drill. Crude compared to a...

    new lathe

    Could you tell me a little more about reamer pushers? A friend said he would sell me a Manson floating reamer holder, not sure how that works. Is it what your talking about? Some of my questions may be premature, but I am enthusiastic at the moment. I will look for pictures, as they say = 1000...

    new lathe

    First I would like to say hello as this is my first post on this forum. I have enjoyed reading a lot of topics here for a while. I live in NC and shoot 600 and 1000 yd. br and am open to any type of trigger pullin. I purchased a small Grizzly G4003G lathe for turning my own barrels and my...
