The whole idea is to "not" to be able to Identify them. This is a practice routine first used by Harry Pope the famous Barrel Maker and one of the very best 75 ring Schuetzen shooters. Later it was adapted by a very few prone Silhouette Shooters as a means of maintaining proper Follow Through...

When I go to a match I firmly believe I am there to win, and I am fully capable of doing that when I do "MY" part, no matter what the other competitors do. I also live in the real world and after 30 years in the Corps I fully realize that these targets we shoot at don't shoot back, and a WIN or...

Lee, I am going to second zippy's post. Part of my practice routine has been for years to load 5 rounds with completely dead primers out of each 100 loaded. A few years ago I was able to buy a 1,000 empty primer cups from Winchester. After I had used all of these up, now they will not sell me...

I would do either, have it built or I have no problem buying a rifle. It would have to be the right one for me, but that would be cool. Why do you ask? Know about something out there Paul? Roland

I was able to find there web-site Vince. But no information about this stock. Would you know of another resource for information? I also want to thank everyone for there input. I believe I have a basic understanding of this now, but it is that basic. I would like to give this a try and maybe as...

I just didn't make myself clear. I do understand that the barrel will screw into the action just like before, then the barrel block is put into place around the barrel and butts up to the receiver, something like the recoil lug would do if it were there. Then to Barrel Block itself is bolted to...

Al, Let me see if I have this right. The stock needs more of a relief cut for the action than a true inletting, Right? The barrel channel is inletted the same, with the exception of a place to mount the Block, Right? The block itself is what holds stock and action, barrel together, Right...

Guys I am wondering just how does a Barrel Block work, and I mean this in the basic form? What are the mechanic's of doing this? At the risk of appearing completely ignorant of this way of building a rifle I would really like to know about this. Roland

It is true that the Remington 700 does have a short tenon, so do many of the Custom Actions as well. I have a Farley action rifle that has the same short tenon as the Remington and have had a 32" 1.125 Straight barrel on it for Two years now. It has won its share of F-Class match's and is still...

As skeetlee says Release Triggers are defiantly still being used in ATA Trap, they have not even gone away in that sport. I know at least 25 shooters that I shot with on a regular basis that use them, and at the Nationals there were probably a hundred minimum in use. As far as I know there...

Art, very nice interior, I like just about everything about it. That Strong Safari case is also very nice I own three of those and would not be without them for my match rifles. I believe yours are like my own double rifle cases converted for a single rifle. Is your trailer a converted RV? Roland

I am in the process of finishing the interior of my "Shooting" trailer now. I bought a tandem axle trailer simple because they tow better and I like the advantage of those four wheels on the ground especially in the case of a flat, or blow out. Mine is 14x7 and has a side door only. I did have...

Keep us posted when you get this rascal up and running. I am very curious as to the accuracy of this cartridge. Barrel count means very little to me, or I wouldn't be shooting two notorious barrel burners the 6.5-06 Gibbs and the 6.5-284. If this has the (Accuracy) I would take a hard look at...

I remember that old thread over o the Hide. Don't remember a lot about it as I truly thought it was more of a joke than anything else, and folks just doing a little bragging on there new toys ( nothing wrong with that by the way). I guess because it's on the internet it must be true. Right...

I find this thread puzzling with the reported barrel life claims. I have campaigned a 6.5x284 extensively and got nowhere near 1800 round count, more like 900 and several Kreigers as well as two Brux barrels were done. The 6.5x284 is a notorious barrel burner. I also shot a 6.5-06 Gibbs, this...

I have always been a big coffee drinker, coffee = caffeine, caffeine = shaky hands. That is the way I was taught. I know most of the shooters I shoot with avoid caffeine like the plague on match day. YMMV of course. Roland

RJM, Well I am proud of them, very proud. I do understand your cynicism at the way the system is working. However surely you don't harbor under the illusion that when there is a fight no one gets bloody. This is going to be a fight for "OUR" 2nd amendment rights and someone is going to get...

I am sure that many if not most have heard about the folks in Connecticut exercising Civil Disobedience as far as there guns are concerned, and refusing to register there guns that fall under there new laws. I hope some of those folks read here on Benchrest Central and know that they do not...

I am somewhat surprised by the lack of interest in answering at least a couple of your questions with a more specific answer. As I think about it I guess that all of these questions have been asked and answered so many dozen of times before. That the regular posters tire of them over time and...

Couple of things come to mind with this very interesting project. One is pure lead is probably not going to work even at your projected speed of around a 1,000 fps and have any accuracy at all. Problem with pure lead with any form of bullet is Nose Slump. I shot a 650 grain modified Credmoore...
