It's not impossible for somebody unfamiliar with coned bolts to err on the side of generous (AKA known as WTF) clearances. This is from an incorrectly fitted barrel from a Barnard action.

Beats the hell out of Coke can shims. :cool:

I had considered modifying a Forster bench unit, but it's so clumsy....

The comment going around here in Australia at the moment is: How do you spell Zuckerberg with out u, t, c & n?

I hope I don't ...

I checked the rule for international matches (ICFRA Rules): F13.12. The time allowed for the string irrespective of distance is the number of sighting and scoring shots to be fired times 1 minute – e.g. 17 minutes for 2 sighters and 15 shots to count (or as the number of shots may dictate)...

Some while back, I seated 210 grainers in a .308 case, albeit with a seriously long throat for my 1000-1200 yard rifle using a Redding competition die - and I buggered the seating plunger. While Redding replaced it & the scratched die body promptly, these days I understand that they recommend...

Was a time a decade or two back when it was said that Federal GM primers were batches with a high degree of uniformity selected off the general run, anointed with wax & sold at a premium price. The rest, irrespective of the level of quality were standard primers, leading to claims that there...

Like polishing a turd. You still end up with s**t on your hands.

Great to see you sorted it.

Maybe he can't log on either.

Back when we camped at the same site on a farm property regularly, we had the bunny warrens marked out for us with a peg showing the holdover at each distance. We were able to head shoot them easily out to 150 yards or so off our fallen log bench & connect regularly out to 250 - early in the...

I'd be looking for something to stop or slow the firing pin fall. For example, our Aussie Omark action tended to get sloppy after time & the cocking piece on the firing pin would drag on the channel for it in the action body. Our answer was to gently break the forward edges of the cocking piece...

Using The Lee Collet Die. I started using Lee collet dies when they first came on the market and have found that they are very good for the purposes for which they were designed . I have found that there is a lack of understanding of how to use the die properly and as a result people fail to...

or a million acre lot. :cool:

Out here, we've used those large blue plastic commercial food storage drums to deaden muzzle blast. With both ends opened sufficiently to sight and the drum lined with soundproofing matting, it works quite well. Sonic boom is another issue. Having the muzzle within the drum reduces the need for...

Weren't any riots and such 4 years ago and eight years ago when US gun owners panic bought their country dry.

They don't really. They're a cousin of the north American alligator. https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/chinese-alligator

Three Aussie blokes working up on an outback mobile phone tower - Mongrel, Coot and Bluey . As they start their descent, Coot slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Bluey says, 'Well, bugger me, someone's gotta go and tell Coot's wife. Mongrel...

Our local 50 meter smallbore range is walled but with the main range uncovered. At certain times of winter, cool air coming in above interferes with the warm ground air so that a "bouncing meniscus" is formed between the two, just like oil on water and on certain nights, or at certain times...
