Though neither as professional, nor, organized as Al Nyhus, earlier this week, in preparation for a tournament, this weekend, I made time to tune a George Myer built 30x44 Hunter Class rifle,...
Good advice from Al: "With a 7 ogive , the options of using either the .925" or 1.00" are both open. And I don't like not having options. The BIB 118 1.00" 10 ogive bullets shoot like the Hammers...
As a maker/supplier of both 7 & 10 ogive thirty caliber bullets, and one who, at registered BR tournaments, has managed, to consistently win/place/show at every level, using the ten ogive thirty...
Condolences to Stan's loved ones and close friends. RG
If Al had functional ears, and a little...
If Al had functional ears, and a little mechanical aptitude, he might make a decent bullet . . . . ;)RG
Looks like the wind flags were pretty honest!
Plenty of decent shootin' there - Congratulations, Jackie! That was, "keepin' -'em ON the X !" :eek:RG
Holy cow . . . that was 24 years ago . . .
But, shootin' resumed after about six weeks, and the "fix" is working still. :DRG
P.S. the shoulder wasn't laid open, it was just three shortish slashes, or, arthroscopy.
Condolences, George - Ed worked with me on a couple of 'tweaks' to the toggle-blocks on the B&A clones - he was knowledgeable, generous, and kind. Once again, we are diminished.
Best Regards, RG

Yep, I still have a CPS Aluminum stock which may get resurrected some day . . . ;) on mine, I simply used a bedding block (riser) to accommodate recoil lug(s) . . . and added a little...
Just a wild guess
Cannot think of who WG may have been: it's probably a 1:11"twist (1/11) - easy enough to determine; .2989" bore diameter; .3076" groove Dia. RG
"And here, you have it" - Wayne is correct. :D ...
"And here, you have it" - Wayne is correct. :D
Adding to Wayne's statement, with proper loaded-round/chamber clearance & judicious load development, bullets, up to, at least, .310" diameter work...
Saddening to learn this.:( RIP Bob . . . will recall your positive influence when shootin' the "sporter". RG
"Mini Nationals" GURU, indeed!:D
Let's hope that, "the range is open" for Dick Baier - he led the Wisconsinites out of the wilderness into the realm of precision shooting. Best regards, and prayers...
And, " the correct answer is . . .
" . . . and, there you have it. :eek: Thank you, Al. :D RG
I agree with Lee (post # 38) - that is, way too much lube. Reducing lube may help the die-walls, "hold onto the bullet", while the point-up punch releases [from], or, is pulled off the BT. Also,...
The Clarence Detsch die 88Gr. FB are showing promise.
Al, your "pillaring" of the Sav 99CD has eliminated the wild first shot flier - prior to your effort, the initial shot from either clod/clean, or, cold/"fouled" barrel always went WAY high and most...
Doug, :p:cool: That period scope - even at a WHOPPING 6X - sealed the deal!:);)RG
Martin, good points - especially the twist rate! I believe that mine is a 1975/76 production, and that the detachable magazine was introduced about that time, possibly about 1968. Your post below was...
Cool, Rick - roger the precision requirements!:cool:;)RG
The 107 MK - even the old style - may prove a little too long from the 1:10" twist. Try them and see: at best, stability will be marginal . . . and possibly poor. It is probable that the ideal twist...
yes - THIS!
^^^^^^^ ;)rg
The [level-full] numbers I stated during our conversation were incorrect here are the correct weights:
H-4198 35.0Gr. - the other stuff 43.2Gr. !! With the "other stuff", one could probably "make a...
Dave Kranch, 73, August 1947 - October 2, 2020.
Sad news indeed - on any bench-rest icons "short list", Wilbur was tops. Condolences and prayers for Elmer.
