One of my memories of Wilber involves another of the guys shooting back then Paul Wolfe. They were at the wailing wall talking about their groups at Rockingham one morning and Wilber said the morning buggers got him on his first group. Later that day we were at the wailing wall again and Paul...

Good shooting in tough conditions

We had 21 guns on the line for the match Saturday morning. The conditions were pretty cool with around 40 for the start and finished up in the upper 40s with a pretty decent switchy headwind. The kind that can eat your lunch in a hurry if you get caught😁. Lee Martin had it figured out for the...

The shade tree resttop is excellent and will serve you well for whatever you are doing, another rest would be way down on my list of needs. You don't need a huge amount of magnification for 1-200 shooting but it needs to be rock solid on holding point of aim. I would stick with the sightron as...

Fireform 2 times should be match ready, probably good after 1 but I usually do 2 times. You can do load development on the 2nd firing for sure. VV130 it's a great powder for the 30BR. You can start with 34 grains to get a seating depth and go from there. That should get you in the ballpark. You...

The tnts will work fine for fireforming, or you can use your match bullets and probably figure out a seating depth. The brass should be fully formed after a couple firings. HARREL'S are great to deal with on dies. I would probably shoot them 3 times before i sent a car to them. The last firing...

Great picture of Wilber doing what he loved!

Butch lambert makes a good joystick rest top , shadetree engineering, good quality and price if you already have a base.

Sorry to hear of JDs passing, he was a good guy. Prayers for his family and friends

+1 on the Magnum metal, great rest and reasonable price.

We had the first club match of the year today at the Rock, Conditions were sloppy and wet to start with heavy rain over night and light rain this morning. The forecast was for rain until noon so we had a poor turnout 10 shooters 9 VFS and ! mod. Conditions were much better than forecast but...

I still have decent hearing but I've lost some high pitch hearing from shooting guns when i was young and dumb and too many open headers from the same affliction! 😁

I wish ya'll great luck on getting the site back to what it was in the day. Thank you for all that you do

I appreciate the vote of confidence Mike , but I'm certainly not a computer guy. I can use one to look at stuff if it's working right!😁. I agree, i loved the site back then and it was a great help to me and many others. I hope it can get back to its glory days.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wilbur and shooting with him many times and got to thank him personally for this site. Wilbur was a salt of the earth guy and i feel blessed to have known him

Love the new banner honoring Wilbur, he was a great guy and competitor. He did Benchrest a tremendous service creating this site. .

According to a post on the general discussion page it is

I hope the site can be saved, Wilbur did the benchrest community a tremendous service creating this site.

Nice looking rig Lee, hope it shoots good for you!

I think you are exactly right, they are selling a pipe dream for the most part. I use to buy the br primers when they were basically the same price, but when they went up i stopped. Haven't bought any in 20-25 years.Cci bears the blame for the price i'm certain
