Well, not quite new. Jay Young built this for me in 2018. I’ve been so busy shooting matches and making bullets, I never took the time to finish it…..until now. Hope to put it on paper real soon. Action – Panda with TG ejector Barrel – 1.45” Lederer, 13.5 twist Scope – March 48x Trigger –...

Michael Turner had a thread going on Lederers, but it appears to have been archived. Finally got around to shooting one of the blanks I bought from him. Damn fine shooting barrel and talk about well lapped. I scoped it and it's one of the best finished bores I've seen. Shoots really tight...

Polar opposite of a BR rifle, but I figure there are a few big bore fans on the forum. Here's a .585 Nyati I just finished on a CZ 550 Magnum Safari action. Thought some of you may enjoy seeing it: 750 grain Woodleigh: 800 grain Martin LFN: -Lee www.singleactions.com

I can count the number of times I've shot under 0.10" on half of one hand. Took the day off to practice and target #1 laid down well.... No backers, no witnesses, and no wind. The flags were dead still when I shot this. But I'm still really pleased. Nothing like walking up to a target...

I recently upgraded to Graham wind flags and built the carrier that Rick suggested. These have been posted before but I figured it couldn't hurt to show another. After a trip Home Depot for a 66 qt bin and digging up scrap 2 x 4, it turned out well. Total investment = $7. The...

It has been a few years since the forum had a tutorial on bullet swaging. The thread Stephen Perry started as well as Al Nyhus' were just great. I thought one more couldn't hurt. In January I decided to make my own 6mm bullets for our PPC, BR, and Wasp. After feedback from a few forum...

Just stumbled upon these and thought they'd be of interest to the forum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN_fYyl8pEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXje52WMgZc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7n8q4_Ao9k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDNBTkmxMPc...

Anyone ever try these for holding jackets/cored jackets for 6mm? They're designed for 22 LR and 25 ACP...

I first shot a purpose built BR rifle in 1986. After 29 years of dabbling I finally got into the zeros. Plenty of low 1's over that time but never a screamer. That changed this past Saturday: Crude measuring at the range: Measuring under magnification. Dad and I both put the widest...

If Wilbur doesn't mind, I thought I'd start a thread highlighting benchrest's history (old photos, ads, articles, etc). I have a lot material, as I'm sure others do. For the guys that lived through those years it'll bring back memories. For newcomers like myself it'll connect us to the sport's...

40 Years With The PPC 40 years ago this past summer the PPC was announced. I thought some of you may enjoy seeing the original PS article again. This is from the July 1975 issue: -Lee www.singleactions.com

We started building a new 100 (and soon to be 200) yard range. With the help and advice of forum members, we got the bench mocked. Still need to cut the holes to fit the form and weld a T-brace between the legs. I’m now just waiting on the 15 x 15’ concrete pad to be poured (5” slab, 3500...

Dad and I spent over a year on this action because we kept getting side-tracked with other projects. It's done though so I wanted to post some photos. There are only three parts in it that aren't hand made by us: 1) The Jewell trigger 2) The main spring 3) The extractor Everything else we...

I'm close to finishing my 6 PPC and am already thinking of a .30-cal for score. It may sound crazy swapping barrels on the same gun, but I'd like to base them on one action (may or may not work out, but I'm going to give it a shot). That said, what are the common dimensions for 30 PPCs with...

Bedding Getting close to finishing my HV PPC and had a question on bedding. I plan on pillar bedding the action with Devcon 10110, no glue-in to start but I may down the road (it really depends on how it shoots). Incidentally, we've done both in the past with good results. The stock is a...

Selway Armory has 1 & 8 lb jugs of 133 in stock. Probably won't last long though. -Lee www.singleactions.com

FYI, Graf & Sons has LT-32 in stock (but probably not for long). I just picked-up three 8 lb jugs. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Dad and I have been building a PPC receiver and are 75% done. I thought some of you may like seeing progress pictures: We began with pre-hardened 4140 round stock. Lathed and precision ground to 1.45" o.d.: Milling the port: The cocking piece's starting point: The undrilled cocking...

I'm finishing up my PPC action and am ordering a couple of Shilen HV blanks tomorrow. Plan to shoot 68 grain Ultras and am curious on twist. Is there much difference between 13.5 and 14? Do you guys have a preference for that combination? Thanks, -Lee www.singleactions.com

Thought I'd post a picture of a new 100 yard range we built: It's deep in the woods and as you can see it's sheltered by hard tree-lines (mild conditions, wind buffered). Our other range a few hundred yards to the right is an open field (lots of wind). Not sure how it'll play out but I hope...
