Lynn........Here is the thing............Everyone is looking for the "holy grail" and I admit, I have done so. Someone's winning a few matches and well, that is the hot cartridge. I have gone to the BRX but probably could do as well with the BR which I did and have???? I guess we help to keep...

Steve...........Very well said! You can recall when I used those 147 gr. Clinch River bullets that Greg started making back in 2001-02? Bob and Leslie Crone were winning a lot of wood with the 6.5 x 284 super Bob developed and I jumped on the band wagon and got a reamer cut to his spec. With...

Heck! I might even have a Hall "C" actioned 300 Whby mag. 17 lb gun that I might be talked out of? Rich De

Funny..........I just looked over the match reports from the NC 1,000 yrd club during the past few shoots. Actually, the last match there were 36 shooters and only ONE 6.5 x 47L being shot. A couple of 6 - 6.5 x 47L's were represented. No wins were posted by the 6.5 or the 6's??? Definitely...

Cheechako........Thanks for sharing those pictures......Very interesting. Charles........Maybe you can get Dave Tooley to whip up a few on his new CNC lathe:D Rich De

I have tried a number of products including Imperial sizing wax and have found Remington oil with teflon to be the ticket for me. Not messy and very slick. Just a "little dab will do ya!";) Rich De

You will probably get several opinions, but to me it seems the 105 Bergers have the edge. When top custom bullet maker (whose bullets have served me well in the past) tells you that, you can't but take his advice. Richard

Good luck Lynn and good shooting! Rich De

There in lies one of the pitfalls of the Savage action utilizing the "barrel nut!" Usually when you see a Savage used in competition(which I might add is a rare occasion), you will find the barrel nut eliminated. The shooter will generally at least have the action face squared up and then a...

Lynn......It would seem the 30/378 would be a formidable case for your conditions, No?. Brass should be somewhat cheaper than the Chey-tech brass (necked down to .338). Rich De

Lynn........Thanks for that reply. As I had indicated in my post, I did not deny that they can shoot. Just figured they were a bit on the overkill side. With that being said, has anyone played with the .408 Chy-tech? I believe that is the maximum bullet diameter allowed? I know the bullets...

Lynn.......I tried accessing the NBRSA results from 2009 but it only listed the shooters. I could not find the equipment list? The reason being, In all the catagories you listed, Lou Murdica in not higher than 5th. pl. Just curious what the other shooters in front of him were shooting? And...

Familyman..........Your question can be very difficult to answer without a whole lot more information. My suggestion is that you attend either a 600 or 1,000 yard match and talk first hand with shooters who have been in your position. Rather than waste you money on a rifle that will become...

If there were a whole lot of strong points, you would see a lot of people shooting them...Right???? Just check the equipment lists for the 1,000 yd. matches around the country and see how many are being used? I'm not saying that they DON'T shoot, I'm just saying what "oneflyer" already posted...

I would think that the fact he is using the "high" rings along with the heavy Night Force scope might be the reason for the extra support. Rich De

600 yards gets boring??? I guess thats a matter of opinion? Actually, after shooting 1,000 yards for the past nine years, I am enjoying the 600 yard matches more. I like the IBS format of shooting four targets for an aggragate rather than shooting against twelve other shooters on a relay. In...

Just for Ha, ha's, here is a better one................. This true story was related to me by two good hunting friends of mine up north. (it happened before I got to know them) Anyway, the two of them were heading from NJ to Colorado bow hunting for elk. They were driving one of the parties...

Lynn..........is it my imagination, or is the only picture of Billy Copelin "smiling" when he is hugging Dee Tompkins???????????????:D Rich De

I'm not a big 7mm shooter, but seems to me that guys I talked with are shooting a 9" or 10" twist and using the 175 MK's??? Rich De

JD.........thats "former" ;) Sorry on the Dasher loads James. I have not shot the Dasher. The 6mmBR and a 6 x 44 imp. are the only two 6mm's I have shot in 600 yard competition. This BRX will be new to me. I have a Brux 8.5 twist sitting in my shop awaiting some attention on my part:D. So...
