Given the weater conditions, I wouldn't wager the results have a lot of meaning other than there will be a winner.

I'm not understanding the purpose of your post. If I don't like a site, I just don't go to it if there is something better. There are other sites out there that I learn from, but I learn from this site also. I'm glad that whoever got this site back up and running did so. I'm sort of new and...

Plastic coolers would be a good idea for storage shed storage. The biggest problem with storage in uncontrolled cold temperatures is condensation. If the temperature changes slowly there is no problem, it is when the primers or anything is cold and there is a rapid temperature increase...

I don't know that being close to Mexico was a factor because there is a lot of oil and gas drilling pipe that is radioactive. It is contaminated by naturally occurring radio active drilling product. Most scrap yards check and reject the pipe, but apparently not all. Some farmers and ranchers...

Louis, can't you keep that kind of crap to yourself. It's nonsense. Do you think the previous administration was more concerned with the welfare of this country? Republicans, Democrats, and independents have all served and died. Better yet, just keep politics off of this forum.

ASC Results of the 200 Have the results of the 200 yard match been posted?

I've used GUNBROKER several times and had very good luck. They have some buyer protection. I don't know what it is now, but it used to be $500.

I do agree that a rifle is more than just the barrel and it's chambering. However, it is a big part. There is the inletting, bedding and glueing of the action that is important too. Installing the trigger would be like putting on the scope rings. While important, that is much the same as...

I will be getting one of Harrells sizing dies to match the chamber of my new 30BR barrel. They request 3 cases that have been fired 3 times each in order to get the closest die that matches my chamber. That sounds easy enough until you think about it. Maybe, I'm overthinking this, but my...

At some matches, technical information is requested to be listed, one of them is Gunsmith. If one person built the gun that's being shot, the question is rather straight forward and I've never questioned it. However, my gun was originally built by one gunsmith, but now I've had a new barrel...

I appreciate your perspective and can't say that I think you are wrong as both methods have their talking points. I know which I would prefer, I think. Whatever the rules are, they are the same for everyone and we can read them before we shoot. Either way, each rule may or may not work to our...

I don't think one can actually say which is better, but it is different. The 249 24X would probably average as a smaller group than 250 0X, hypothetically. It could be 24 shot in precisely one hole with 1 shot just missing the 10 ring, while the other could be 25 shots barely touching the 10...

Fire forming without a bullet is certainly one way to do it and is probably a good one. I have a fire forming barrel for my 6PPC. There are two problems with fire forming for the 30 BR newcomers like me. I don't have an extra old barrel, and if I did, I'd have to pay someone to chamber it...

Two questions: You say, "the external 'lump' remains and is turned off in a separate step before neck turning." Are you saying the external lump is turned off in one pass and then followed by a second to-size finished cut? My intention is to turn the necks in two passes, using two different...

I know there has been a lot mentioned of Doughnuts. I understand what they are and where they come from generally. What I don't understand and have not seen explained is the best way to deal with them when necking a cartridge up, specifically for the 30 BR. After expanding the neck, I find...

San Jacinto San - Sand without the d. Jacinto - Ja like Jack, cinto - Cents with an O instead of S.

It would appear to me that some short range BR shooter may benefit from this barrel material. For some of us, if the cost of of having to pay a gunsmith to make a new barrel less often, there could be some cost savings, assuming the barrels competitive accuracy holds up 1.5 to 2X as long. For...

My measurement is at the largest point of the bullet. Generally speaking, it's about 2/3 the way from the tip. I believe the micrometers are reasonably accurate. I have several standards to check against and both (2) micrometers are Mitutoyo digital. The variation of all are within .00015...

Since I'm trying to do things the best I can, I'll fire the cases three times and send them to Harrels and let them choose what matches best in their opinion. They have more experience than I do. If that doesn't work, then I'll adjust accordingly. I had a blank LE Wilson bullet seater reamed...

I obviously wasn't clear in what I said or meant. I know what you are talking about when using a fast powder and paper towel or wax to fire form. (No bullet) I do have a reservation about using that method with a new match grade barrel. I'm not comfortable doing that with a new barrel, and...
