dk..........if you want to speed the drying process.......after you blow them out? Put them in a metal coffee can and apply heat from a heat gun our hair dryer. I get them pretty hot.......too hot to touch. This dries them right out. Let them cool and reload! Rich De

Lynn.........No, I don't think the quenching in CLR does anything more than water. But the CLR does definitely loosen the crud inside the case. So rather than quenching in water, I use the CLR and just let the cases soke. You will be amazed at how clean the inside of the cases are. By the...

I anneal after every firing. I had 13 reloadings on 100 pieces of brass. At reloading #8 I shot the 5 shot light gun IBS 1,000 record. I retired the brass and barrel after 13 loadings althought, they were still working. After removing the case from the flame, ( I drop them in CLR calcium...

Thanks Charles...........I was unaware of that! Rich De

I don't think a barrel block is an issue in any benchrest discipline. In short range, it might not be feasible because of the weight? Rich De

I don't know if Tommy Williams or maybe Sam Hall migh jump in on this, but from my perspective shooting at Piedmont, I would say 4 to 5 feet is sufficient. Rich De

I personally like the rule change! I was getting tired of lugging that heavy gun around so I sold it. I still shoot both classes in 600 yard competition and this was a welcome change. Its a little bit easier to spot my shots on the clays with the brake. Rich De

Jerry..........the hole actually looked OK and I did fit one of Hollands new oversize firing pins. Plus, we used a bot from another Remington with the same results. Rich De

Charles........I am also shoot a BRX using 33 gr. Varget with a 108 Berger out of a 28" Brux with Fed. 205M primers and getting 2910 fps. I am on my 9th. reload and have no pressure signs or blown primers. I have three friends whose barrels I chambered with the same reamer (.272 no turn). Two...

I believe we had about 20 shooters today braving the cold (23*) and wind (probably 15 to 20......maybe more at times). While the sun did come out, it never really warmed up all day long. Quite a few DNQ targets:p..........Yes, I managed one in heavy gun. Not a whold lot of small...

Yes, there is food at the range. It is served by local church women in their new heated clubhouse which also has nice bathrooms. The covered cleaning areas are actually aluminum garage ports of which they have three. There are some tables but you might want to bring a small one. The carports...

Waverly.......what happens is you will shoot Two targets at one sitting. There will be 2min. inbetween targets. Once you have completed your 6 min. sight in period for the first target you only get a two minute sighter perior for the second target. Unless there is a major wind change, you...

T Pohl............Actually what I did was to build a "mock-up" out of wood first. Then presented it to the clubs board of directors. Once I got their approval, I proceeded to make it from steel. I still have the mock up and use it in my basement. Rich De

T POHL: The benches are 31.5" high. Front to rear is 48"..........The forward portion is 36" wide by 18" deep. The narrow or rear portion is 18" wide. Rich De

Here are the benches I built for the Catawba Valley Wildlife Club in Hickory NC. It is all 2" welded tubular steel with 3/4" plywood tops. They weight 80 lbs. and are as stable as shooting on concrete benches. Definitely go the three leg design. No matter what the surface, they will be...

I am with dk hunt 14................When I borke the 1,000 yd. record with my 6.5 x .284 super, it was during the eigth reloading. And that was the good Norma brass. I did not retire those casings until I retired the barrel a 1300 rounds and 13 reloadings...........Right! I had 100 cases:)...

Gary.........Very nice work on all aspects of your project! As Charles E indicated, I also put my rifle together (but did not have the ability to produce the action) and did quite well with it. You really get a sense of pride when you can compete head to head with the professional gunsmiths...

Jim..........Thanks for reminding me that I am 8 yrs. older now with much less hair :) Rich De

I remember when Lawdog had those Norma brass problems :(.................However, I got, what was one of the first batchs from Bill Shehane, shot the record in 2002 on the 8th. reload and was still shooting it when I retired that barrel with 13 reloads (100 pieces of brass). Rich De
