    Determining touch vs jam

    I've also measured the difference between jam and touch for barrels where I had a gauge made from a barrel stub with the chambering reamer run about halfway up the shoulder. For bullets with a 7-ish ogive, and with bushings ~0.003 smaller than the loaded round, I generally get jam-to-touch...

    Determining touch vs jam

    With the Berger 115FB and a bushing 0.004 smaller than the loaded round neck diameter used to measure the jam length, and measuring "touch" using the Sinclair tool, the difference in my 30BR is about 0.020.

    How do top shooters handle their barrels?

    My recollection is that he said that he had to take a month off work for an injury, and spent that month extensively retesting his reject pile without finding a single barrel worth taking even to a small tournament (0.250 agg capability by his criteria). Not a heartening prospect, is it?

    Bare bones shooting

    A used BR rifle with excellent components and expert smithing may not be as expensive as you think. http://theshooterscorner.com/

    Equality?

    I guess the USA is in good shape, by your standards, because the rich do pay more -- a hell of a lot more. The top 0.1% of income earners pay 17% of the country's total federal income tax revenue, the top 1% pay 37% of the total, and the top 5% pay more than half of all federal income tax...

    IBS Short Range Caliber Limit?

    A .308 averaging 0.400 is expected to shoot a 250 at 100 yards about 70% of the time as long as the group is centered on the x-dot. 70% seems a bit better than "luck." Not competitive in the real world, though. WARNING: There are some math and statistics (not just arithmetic) involved. See...

    IBS Short Range Caliber Limit?

    Hence "unlikely," as I said. If bullet diameter doesn't matter for score shooting, as you claim, then why the 30BR in VFS but not (often) in top-level group shooting -- a venue where bullet diameter truly doesn't matter? E.g...

    IBS Short Range Caliber Limit?

    Bullet diameter DOES matter for score shooting. Imagine a .308 bullet in the 9-ring that barely grazes the 10-ring. With best-edge scoring the .308 scores a 10. Now put a 6mm bullet in the center of the hole made by the .308 -- the 6mm gets a 9 because of the ~0.032 of white between the edge...

    Are "black rifles" allowed

    The NRA isn't the sanctioning body for benchrest. See: http://internationalbenchrest.com/ go to downloads and rule book http://nbrsa.com/rules.pdf Except for the unlimited/heavy bench class the rules require a manually-operated action. I don't know if a gas gun with the gas system disabled...

    I need rings for my Lawton action. Help!!

    Talley can just send the set for a Savage 12 (which is cylindrical, like many of the customs). That's what Gary recommended for my Stiller PredatorV and they worked like a charm. For a hunting rifle where the scope needs to be mounted as low as possible the Talley lightweights are hard to...

    Any Washington State motorcycle riders here?

    Hi Dennis. Though not an on-road donorcycle rider, I'll suggest from Anacortes on Hwy 20 over the North Cascades Hwy, spend the night in Winthrop or Twisp (watch out for the deer on the road in the morning and evening!) or even farther if you're making good time, then south on Hwy 97 along the...

    Wolf standard small rifle primers

    Hi Larry. Yes, they plainly say "Small Rifle Magnum" Primers. Bruno's and Powder Valley have them (or did a week ago), but of course you'll have to pony up for the hazmat fee. Here's a photo: http://media.photobucket.com/image/wolf%20small%20rifle%20magnum/ender156/DSC04713.jpg Toby...

    Rest Affects on Accuracy

    Even if a bipod were superior to a pedestal rest, I don't think bipods are legal for the "bag" classes. From the IBS rule book: 1) A front rest shall support the front part of a rifle: a rear rest shall support the rear part of a rifle; neither rest may be attached to the bench, the rifle, or...
