    Piedmont match today............

    For those that didn't show up today, you missed one of the best shooting days of the year. The weather was near perfect. By 11:00 a.m. some people were down to their T-shirts. Wind was almost non-existant (except for those little "ghost" winds you did not see:) ) Quite a few groups were shot...

    6mmbr brass prep

    Funny you mention that Charles.............the thing about the primer pocket uniformer not reaching the bottom of the pockets on Lapua brass? I have two of those "Whitetail" (Dick Wright) carbide tools that I have been using for years. And yes, noticed the same thing.....they will not reach...

    Tuning for different altitude.

    I think your biggest problem at 1,000 yards is actually being able to tell the difference between minute changes in loads on the target? There are so many variables that you never know if it was the load or a condition you could not see? For me, I would stick with a load that you can tune at...

    1000yd Bench Gun

    I also remember that one day I got an envelope in the mail from Wes..................He had taken quite a few photos at that match and was nice enough to send them to me. A good guy! Your right, it was that "purple gun" that was kickin' butt at 300! Rich De

    1000yd Bench Gun

    Greg.............was that the one where you loaned the rifle to every Tom, Dick and Harry that wanted to shoot it? You had that gun really lasered in! It was unfair for the other poor shooters who didn't get to shoot it! Rich De

    bausch and lomb 36x

    Two of my buddies who shoot 600 yard BR with me, each got one of the new Sightron's this past summer and really love them. Like Charles indicated, if $$$ is an issue, you will not go wrong with Leupold 24X. I have also never felt handicapped using one. Pick up a used one for maybe $400 and...

    Why isn't the Howa action used for 1000 yard rifles?

    Charles............I was just talking with Phillip and Debbie Thursday night at our club meeting. I was surprised he had not shot any benchrest this past year or Cowboy action! Nothing? Rich De

    1000yd Bench Gun

    Your Caldwell rest will work OK to get started but I would forsee a more stable platform in your future; depending on how deep your pockets are:) The tops tend to be a bit wobbly. Keep an eye on the handle that tightens the stem. There is a considerable amount of looseness in their...

    6mmbrx annealing problem

    Charles...............I got the "maroon" from Charles Bailey about ten years ago and have done it ever since? Rich De

    6mmbrx annealing problem

    I have a setup spinning about like Jeff's and it takes only about 6 to 7 sec. to get the necks just turning a dull maroon. They are then plucked up and dumped in the CLR (calcium, lyme, rust remover)(it cleans out the inside of the cases also). I can hardly see where enough heat is transferred...

    Bulzipro scope boosters.

    I have several. My first was from Gene Davis, but it was made by Bulzeye (according to the man I spoke with there). I have since gotten two more from Bulzeye. You will need to re-adjust the eyepiece on the ocular lens. In my case, due to the fact I need reading glasses, my eye piece is...

    New Barrel plans for next year.

    That 6.5 x 284 don't really need the bullet (assuming the 140 gr. type) pushed more than 3,000 fps? Probably most are in the mid 2900's! That can be accomplished from a 28" barrel. Rich De
