We can never repay both the living and dead for the great gift for which that fought and so many died. Oh, how many of us have taken it so for granted. Many of us have spent most of our lives feeling that freedom was an entitlement instead of a gift. People have served and died to give us this...

I shoot at the BR range that is now at Ben Avery. The old Skunk Creek range was across the highway from what is now Ben Avery. I have spoken to a couple of shooters who were present at the match that McMillan shot the purported record group and they both confirmed that there was no backer for...

It wasn't a question about repeatability. That should be noted after the torque setting produces the best groups. The question was about initial settings. By the way, Tom Meredith has probably bedded more bench rest rifles than you have ever even seen including all the rifles for Tony Boyer...

I think all the guys using Reminton triggers miss Nelson Berger a lot. He was a magician when it came to Remington triggers.

LOL, Tom said just tighten that B**** down and shoot it. All that torque setting stuff is just over thinking.

To simplify your seating depth quest I would set the range for testing at .010+ and .010-. After you play with the seating depth tool mentioned above make up a dummy round based on a .05+ seating. Use some 1/0 steel wool twisted around the bullet until the shine is gone. Chamber the dummy...

I have a varmint rifle (Ruger 77V tang safety) that I had rebarreled by Dwight Scott and piller bedded by Tom Meredith at TM Stockworks. The stock is the original wood that was devcon piller bedded by Tom. Ruger suggested torqueing the front angle action screw to 95 inch-pounds and the rear...

Hi Al, Would you mind sharing your accuracy load for .220 Swift with Accurate 2700? My current pet load is with RL15 and I would like to go to something that is a bit easier on the throat. Thanks, Doug

One last thought - what about using kerosene for trigger flushing?

Do you think heavy Naptha would be a good alternative?

Off of the lands we rarely see the node beyond .06 and into the lands .05. This obviously varies slightly by bullet style and is completely not applicable to VLD bullets. Neck tension goes hand in hand with your seating depths.

Speedy indicated that he has seen resulting problems with a Jewel triggers when lighter fluid was used as the cleaning solution. At first blush I was thinking about simply using Naptha. What do you prefere?

Confusion It appears there is some confusion relative to how rim thickness is measured. The photos with the dial caliper show the rim diameter being measured. Attached is a photo of my rim thickness gauge. Yes, sorting by rim thickness does make a difference in produced accuracy.
