Could the issue be with front rest and not the rear bag??? I have found on occasion that the movement of the rear bag was due to my rifle not be squared up with the front rest. The front rest wouldn't move so the recoil pushed the rear bag some. The rear bag always moved in the same direction...

Thanks again Most of the sine patterns are not purely horizontal but do progress away from the horizontal axis with increasing charges. In the vane of treads, I assume the better charge would be near the midpoint of the tread vs the beginning or end? I am curious now to revisit the many...

Thank you Keith Keith, I may be finding what you describe without realizing it due to unfamiliar terminology, angular muzzle velocity. With regards to shooting a ladder test, I have heard several variations of a similar theme so again, I am not sure if what I do is a ladder test. I have used...

MKS-Some more insight please. Keith, or anyone else for that matter, please help me understand some of Keith's statements as I am not fully understanding his position on barrel angular velocity. I have never worked with ballistic programs and all of my experience has been with short range CF...

No limitations on competitor numbers....interesting I found interesting the initial requirements for induction did not require a minimum number of competitors. Not much rationale was provided other than to not exclude any classification of rifles. How times have changed, the committee...

The August 22-23 date is fast approaching. If you haven't registered for the IBS 100/200 Score Nationals to be held at Capitol City Rifle and Pistol Club in Augusta Maine, please do so as soon as possible. We have approximately 50 or more very nice items to give away to competitors. (You can...

Thanks and yes. Thanks Eddie and Mike. It sure was a fun weekend with some really nice people that came to shoot with us. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get to bed Sunday as person after person found their way to our cabin. It must have been all the noise we were making! :) It was...

Pag Windy as hell and you are able to shoot everything in the low 1's. I wish I could shoot that well. I have no doubt you will win every match you attend this year.

Thanks again, Dick, Gary and the remaining nameless committee members. I like the idea of the Grand winner getting two points while a yardage winner gets one point as the grand winner is best over two yardages. The rationale seems to have been well thought out and I commend the committee for...

What's special about 2011??? I wonder why 2011 was chosen as a cut-off year for minimum attendance??? It makes you wonder doesn't it? I'm not knocking it or anything, but being the curious type, I would love to know the rationale. Anyone know who was/is on the committee besides Gary Long...

Joe, I too was wondering so I asked Gary L. Gary responded that the minimum number of shooters is 20 in a class to qualify. Randy J.

James, I have never used a 24 inch barrel. Most of mine finish at approx. 22.5". I have seldom gone above 35.2g of H4198 with the majority of loads being from 34.2-34.9. I did have one barrel that would only group at 33.0 gr. using Randy's 118-7 ogive bullet. That load was going around 2950...

Jackie, I don't disagree but I was not thinking in terms of 50 f/s. For argument's sake, if you had two loads that grouped the same (as I mentioned in my post) and there was 200+ f/s difference in speed, which would you use?? Randy J.

.0015 clearance I generally run .001 and .002 clearance radially between loaded cartridge and chamber. Randy J.

Wall thickness less than .011" Measuring some used 22ppc USA Norma brass, the necks were less then .011", any where from .0105-.0109". Measuring the two loaded rounds that I have using 52 grain Sierras, they measured .2467 and .2470. Looks like you have some turning to do but not a lot. Good...

Yes to velocity In the 30br there are several load nodes using H4198. LT30 is said to provide an additional velocity increase over H4198 without additional pressure issues. For score shooting, when given several loads and for arguments sake equal grouping capabilities, I want the fastest...

Dick Dick as you know better than I, the ppc's started as a wildcat cartridge but at some point, Sako got the rights to produce it as a factory offering. Thus they 'standardized' the dimensions. My understanding is that they had propitiatory rights until their patent ran out (10 years???)...

Norma 22 ppc and also Nosler 22ppc Checking the internet and Midway is showing Norma 22ppc USA. The Nosler site is stating that they are producing brass in 22 ppc USA also. You certainly can fireform Lapua 220 Russian also. Randy J.

I have one of the Sakos in a 22ppc USA and another in a 6ppc USA. Sako obtained the rights to produce the then wildcat 22ppc and the 6ppc as a saami offerings. To distinguish the factory version the cartridge was called 22ppc USA and 6ppc USA, hence the connection with USA and Sako. The...

From the little time I spent conversing with Dave, it became apparent to me what kind of person I could strive to be. Condolences to his family and friends. Randy J.
