It's not uncommon for several of my benchrest shots (at 100 and 200 yds.) to look like flyers, and I don't know the cause. Oftentimes, I see that regardless of the load. One think I'm wondering about is my wind-flag watching technique — or lack thereof. I don't seem to be good at trying to...

In the past, my long-time hunting and shooting buddy and I occasionally went to various state-controlled, rifle ranges (WMA range) to shoot our deer and/or varmint rifles at paper targets approximately 100 yds. downrange. (Getting a three-shot group under an inch was a noteworthy...

Wilbur was a good friend; I'll share some memories. The first time Wilbur appeared on my radar screen was the result of me scanning this website in the early days of my presence here. I really enjoyed reading his insightful and well-thought posts, including post 15 at...

An idea for helping revive this forum. Of the approximate 70 shooters at this year's Shamrock, would some be willing to post a short write-up here of some of your experiences surrounding that shoot? I suspect many of us who did not attend might be interested in some of the following: 1. Your...

An idea for helping revive this forum. Of the approximate 120 shooters at this year's Cactus Classic, would some be willing to post a short write-up here of some of your experiences surrounding that shoot? I suspect many of us who did not attend might be interested in some of the following: 1...

I’d like to see a revival in this forum and one way for that to happen might be for us to post some shooting-related, autobiographical snippets. Feel free to post as many as you’d like; I’ll start. When I was about 19 years old, I bought a snub-nose, .22 RF revolver. One day, my then-squeeze...

I talked with Elmer and he's interested in selling Benchrest.com, ASAP. If you're interested in buying it, please let me know. If you have the ability and interest in posting this elsewhere, feel free to do so.

Given the weather and DT's participation, I'm anxious to see the results of tonight's caucuses. Anyone here have any thoughts to share?

Unless nasty weather, high water, the virus, or some other calamity interferes, we're shooting centerfire benchrest "open” matches on the second Sat of each month (as shown below) at River Bend -- starting Jan 13th. Info for those who haven't shot one of these matches at River Bend: 1. Open...

I have not seen Mort or George on the forum lately, anyone know why?

My brother-in-law, WIlliam M (Mac) Grogan, Jr. of Moseley, VA, died this afternoon, unexpectedly. He was a good man -- Godly, friendly, honest, smart, a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He's in the presence of God at this very moment.

You probably know that Wilbur created this forum, and you may know that he was: (a) a life member of the NBRSA, (b) the NBRSA Southeast Regional Director for several years, (c) a member of the SER Hall of Fame, and (d) a good guy; regrettably, he died awhile back. You probably also know that...

Open matches are non-registered; thus, you don’t have to be a member of any club...

I'm in the process of learning a painful lesson, i.e., don't talk politics with family members of a different persuasion. All I can do is wonder how/why it happened.

Using the same Harrell's die to resize various pieces of Lapua 6PPC brass (none of which are new, but no neck splits), some pieces chamber (without the bullet) very easily; others chamber rather stiffly -- in the same chamber. I asked someone at Harrell's and he didn't know what causes that...

It seems that Wilbur's death left a huge "hole" in the forum. It's been over three months since the last member joined BRC, and several former frequent posters seem to have left the forum in search of "greener grass" elsewhere. As has been said before, Elmer may be temporarily tied-up and...
