Since the demise of the VHA, what was the VHA Midwest Regional varmint match has continued to live on as the MWVMS Midwest Regional. The new MWVMS website went live this week. This is a group of avid VFS (varmint for score) shooters who attend specific varmint type matches in the Midwest...

We had a MWVMS (Midwest Varmint Match Shooters) style 100/200 yd match Saturday, Sept. 30th. Over $600 in cash prizes were awarded to the top three places in all three classes (factory, custom and aggregate) as well as nice plaques for the three winners. Scores and plaques are shown in the...

Find out what kind of benchrest they shoot at your local ranges. The short range shooting is divided into two camps. They are score shooting (where you have to actually hit what you shoot at) and group shooting (where you try to put 5 shots into the same hole anywhere on the target). I got...

dangerous The application is VERY important for the Remington 6 1/2. A friend of mine was using them in a .223 and didn't understand why he was always getting blown primers. They were even blowing in his lowly .221 fireball. When we found the warning on every tray, he stopped using them and...

Yes, and I've been attending all three. My name is usually in the match results posted here in this forum. What did you think of the 195-10X tie between Bob Leier and I last week on the Custom rifle Blue Egg shoot? Edwardsburg shoots on Saturdays and I'm just trying to drum up participation...

South Bend and Mishawaka Yes, we get shooters from South Bend and Mishawaka frequently.

Surely there are some shooters within driving distance of Edwardsburg, MI that I can get to come out and shoot with me. I discovered on the internet that the ECC (Edwardsburg Conservation Club) has a benchrest shoot the first and third Saturday of each month. When I first started going there...

Does anyone know who this 'Mister Leon' is that outshot the rail guns to win a screamer patch? I ran into him in Wyoming last week but I didn't get enough info to find him on this board or on 6mmBR.

I don't think anyone has really answered your question yet, so here goes. I recently researched this same issue and found Bruno Shooters Supply to have the best prices. http://www.brunoshooters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=BSS&Category_Code=6 They have several options...

Hot load? Of course it's hot. If you have a marginally stable bullet, you want to drive it as fast as possible as long as accuracy doesn't suffer. It is not sticky at all on bolt lift and the primers look OK, so I'm gonna use it. I've got some 75s but I have not had time to work on a load...

After seeing one of these 'as is, out of the box' guns beat the custom rifles at a local club, I bought my first Savage. I figured if Savage is making guns like that, it was time I found out. I did some research to find out how heavy a bullet the 12 twist could handle and read conflicting...

I had two identical Krieger barrels. One I broke in using the shoot, clean, shoot clean routine. The other I fired seven shots through before I cleaned it. There was a LOT more copper in the latter barrel and I had to work a lot longer to clean it out. After that cleaning, it copper fouled a...

Testing is on the agenda for this week. I will indeed report back. An initial scope change on the rifle in question showed significant differences. After solving the basic issue, which turned out to be not enough clearance between the barrel and the stock fore-end (there were marks on the...

I've done a ton of reading over the last two years (including precision shooting's "The Benchrest Shooting Primer" and Tony Boyer's "The Book of Rifle Accuracy") and I've never seen this question addressed. My common sense as an engineer tells me that if you tune a load for a rifle with one...

Bob is right, if you don't use a bores-cope, you don't know I can echo Bob's story exactly. I always cleaned with both TM solution and Sweets until the patches came out white. Sweets gets the copper out, but little did I know I was merely polishing the glazed on carbon and not getting it out...

Well, not too many groups at 500 yards, but lots of them at 100 yards showed the improvement before I went to 500 to confirm the improvement there. I fired 200 un-turned rounds during load development and had a hard time getting groups in the .3s. There would be some tight 4 shot groups with a...

No turn neck? You know, I read all that stuff about no turn necks, so I got one on my latest custom 6BR. The Lapua brass consistently was .0005 thicker on one side of the neck. When loaded, the runout gauge needle swung .003 on every cartridge seated with the wilson seater. I turned the...

I have an old Kreiger 6 PPC barrel threaded for a BAT action that I want to turn into a varmint rifle. The barrel is beyond its useful life for competition, but should be plenty accurate enough for varmints. Who makes a good action that will fit this barrel without costing an arm and a leg? I...
