Well I'm assembling my setup one piece at a time. I have the walnut hill press and I'll probably go with blackmon for my 30 caliber dies. I have located a local source for lead wire. They sell .250 lead wire in 18 inch strips packed in 50lb boxes. Will these size wire strips hinder the core...

I just picked up a Walnut Hill press from RCE. Is there any advantage to using this type of press for benchrest bullet swaging as opposed to a regular reloading press?

Congrats to all the shooters that participated. Quick Question. Why was there such a low turn out for a State Championship? The Tomball Club matches have had 20 - 30 shooters in the "benchrest" class alone come out for just a club match, I would have imagined a registered match to have a...

I cant hate on what the Big Box stores are doing. They have a LOT more costs to cover than any internet only business plus they are in a business to make a profit, plain and simple. If their business model didnt work then they would be operating at a loss and you would almost never see any...

I support them anyway with my trips to Walmart and the Nikes I'm wearing right now. If I buy a chinese import mill best believe that many American workers along the way get a cut of the money, from the dock workers that unload it off the ship to the truck driver that delivers it to the house.

:p

will this be a public range or private?

Wrong forum but the search tool will give you a ton of info and will have you reading for a couple of hours. Also check of the current bullet making thread.

Mr.Robinett, Can you provide a link or contact info on the person who did your Lee press conversion? I heard that something has to be done to the ram linkage in order for it to work properly as a swaging press.

under federal law you were still shipped a firearm. doesn't matter if the bolt is in it or not. Stripped AR receivers are considered firearms yet they are nothing more than forged pieces of aluminum with a stamped serial number. In regards to federal firearms laws they are all published and...

Butch I've had your rest since early lasy year and here are my suggestions to an already good rest top: - Somehow integrate a level to the rest top - Easier Adjustments to the friction of the rest w/o using an allen wrench - A taller and more adjustable forend stop

Greg, What tool are you using to neck the case up? Would the k&m tool expandiron that necks 6mm to 30 work with this cartridge as well? Ive never expanded case necks before.

I just went through this decision myself (see my other thread). I decided on a 30major because case prep was pretty simple and I found a smith who already had experience with the round and a reamer on hand. I have a stiller drop port action so in addition to rechambering I also had to have my...

How is case life compared to the BR? Any contact info for hillbilly bullets?

After going through many options in converting my 6ppc to a 30cal VFS rifle, I decided to rechamber to 30major as opposed to 30BR. For those unfamiliar with this caliber its simply a 6.5 grendel necked up for a 30 caliber bullet. Mike Ezell (mwezell on here) will be building the new rifle for...

What is the cost/benefit analysis of carbide dies vs steel dies?

Amazing to see the PPC do so well in those type of conditions.

Try internet forums that are specific to those pistols. You'll have to register but thats the best way IMO. Go to glocktalk for the glock and there is also a smith & wesson forum as well.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Running successful matches; like any thing else in this world related to money, is all about marketing. How are clubs marketing these matches? Do they leave fliers with local guns shops, shooting ranges and other firearms related business? Or...

Benchrest is an expensive sport, not as expensive as most, but still it takes money to compete. If the clubs do pull a profit for a match I'd like to see either more money awards or some pretty nice prize tables with powder, bullets, actions, etc. However i don't think that Benchrest is at the...
