The limiting factor in time is if you are still shooting at a club that has not moved over to electronic targets, the pit service can be slow. Having a good target puller is critical. A slow puller in the pits can screw you out of your condition,

Pa br gunsmith Dave Bruno. He's not too far into PA from the Ohio line.

The problem is resolved I was able to contact Brunos through an indirect path. They are being supportive as best they can under this challenging retail environment.

Bruno's are overwhelmed with their order volume and have taken the extreme measure of cutting off all incoming communication. I have an expensive backordered item stuck in UPS jail because it was shipped to the incorrect address. The shipper has to reach out to UPS to fix the problem however...

F-Class Open or TR I think that you are referring to "F-Open". That is the class where rifles can be 22 pounds and caliber is anything under 35 whereas TR is no more than 18.2 lbs and must be 308 or 223. In either case, I shoot right-right. Unlike benchrest where you are trying shoot rapidly...

Does anyone know if DanB is still around? I sold him my lathe and mill and would like to chat with him. thanks.

I have a Shilen DGA 308 boltface action that I am considering rebarreling to 6.5x47 Lapua. What is the likelihood that I will have to change the firing pin and bush the bolt, going from large rifle to small rifle primers? The fining pin hole is real close to 0.075" and the pin diameter is...

Check out Nashua Fish and Game. http://www.nfga.org/highpower/highpower.html They have open Thursday morning practice where you will find an active group of XTC and F-Class shooters. You will also find some older gents still shooting. I shot the practice there and also with the Schuetzen group...

Please forgive me for rambling. This thread invokes one of my lifelong pet peeves. I apologize for venting, but this is the appropriate post for me to vent. It’s astounding to listen to claims made by really ignorant shooters. Walt Berger goes on in his reloading manual about the “all day long”...

Rather than make plant food out of it, send it to me and I'll feed it to my 45-70.

I recently learned that bipods require technique. I bought a Tubb 2000 because of the accuracy and what I consider adaptability for more than just Hi-Power. I added a front sled for bag riding to test loads and shoot F-Open. F-T/R requires a bipod. I bought a Sinclair folding model bipod because...

First choice for me would be an 1-8" twist 6BR shooting the 105-107 out to 600 yards. Second would be a 6.5x47 Lapua, then the 6.5 Creedmoor, both 1-8" twist. The Lapua has the edge on the brass. After 600 yards, the 6.5's might give you an edge. I can't see the 6.5x284 until you need to go to...

I've been a long time 280 Rem advocate. I have owned several and killed deer with them as well as the 270. The bullet selection alone, gives the vote to the 280. The 280 AI is getting a lot of traction these days with Nosler's standardization of the cartridge. Before you decide on a 280AI it...

Harrisburg, PA Sports Show Don't know if this news has been posted here. This is a clear statement that speaks loud and clear. The Harrisburg Sports Show has been cancelled because major exhibitors pulled out in protest of the "Modern Sporting Weapons Ban"...

Truly an extension of the Gunmakers art. WOW! I guess the owner could afford the tax stamp if these become Class 3.

I am working on my second bottle of Boretech. I feel that it is very effective. I use nylon brushes with it and pretty much follow the manufacturer's instruction. Quit using bronze brushes once I went to Boretech. It does attack the brass jags aggressively. Some barrels require etended soaks but...

I've been shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor factory Hornady A-Max in a Tubb 2000. Haven't had it long enough to test handloads, as good as the Hornady ammo shoots, I'm not sure that it will be easy to beat the factory recipe. I'm impressed enough with this cartridge that I've got a hunting rifle on...

Taildrag- This thread started talking about a range in Western PA???? That was my frame of reference. I currently live in NH but migrated from "Western PA". McDonald is in SW PA, close to W Va. For people living in Western NY, it is about 2.5 hours S on I-79 from Erie, PA. Certainly not a one...

I don't what club you belong to, but McDonald Sportsmans Assn. goes to 600 yards. They shoot BPCR there to 500m, so the target butts are 200, 300, 385, and 500 meters with a backstop at 600 yards. Maybe you can get some interest from that club, as they do seem to have an active rifle membership...

The context of my comment on the 44 S&W is in regards to the "hot new cartridge" syndrome, which goes to the male enhancement comment. I have had numerous Super Blackhawk's and Model 29's and still have one. However, for a holstered field carried handgun, the 45 LC with a good SWC has become my...
