Thank you Michael. Looks like it got real wild at 200 one day.....

Thanks Kelly. I'm not a facebooker so anything you can post here will be all I get to see.

Any reports from the match this weekend?

By weight, but of course they vary by volume too. I chronograph every can of powder I open, and N133 swings as wildly from lot to lot as some of the Alliant powders which are known for that issue. On the other hand, I use H322 in the cooler months, and I rarely see it vary more than 30 fps from...

Getting sick of N133 lots varying 100 fps (or more). How is the LT32? I might consider switching over if it's better.

It was nice to meet you Kelly. Thank you so much for staying afterwards to help us lift those heavy target frames. They are a bear.

Thanks Hunter, though I think you're too kind when you said I was shooting again. I was more like just pulling a trigger! And I didn't even do that very well. I literally had to dust off my rifle two weeks ago to have Joe rechamber an old barrel to thread on. I hadn't even looked at my bench gun...

Well, I haven't shot a Benchrest match in over two years, but the last one I shot in turned out to be the Rodney Brown show. And this one wasn't much different! The man from the windy State came again, and conquered once again. Congratulations Rodney! Hot on his heels were Larry White and Lou...

I have only shot one barrel in the tunnel so far. It is a pre-'09 barrel. Shows signs of being a very capable barrel.....once in awhile! Maybe it's just tf-ing me. But buying a new barrel ain't any more of a guarantee. It's like you say, buy half a dozen to get one that might be decent...

I think you're the smart one Wilbur! You concluded the probable right answer immediately! The question is, what haven't I tried in it???:rolleyes:

Nope, it's a bolt in.

Very interesting and thank you for posting. It's nice to hear that someone else has seen the same things I've been getting. In regards to the 30br, I think you may have sold me. I was actually drawing up a blueprint for a reamer two years ago for a 30, and fully intended on dumping the ppc...

Thanks for the offer Dave. Maybe this winter I'll come down and pick you up. I don't think my tunnel is the problem, but it would be good to get your's and Lou's advice on the course of action for my future in this wicked game. Maybe the three of us will be able to come to some idea of what...

Thanks Gene. I was hoping you'd post. Good food for thought. I can see how those vortices could cause errant fliers. But what I'm seeing are loads that appear to be in tune, then go away too soon for them to be competitive in a match where you have to wait 30 or 40 minutes before you get...

Thanks for the replies thus far guys. The tunnel is 6' roundx100 yards. It is well ventilated and has a very slight draw draft. No mirage, steady afternoon temps. First thing I did was check for shockwave influence and I would have to say there is zero. I have shot several groups in it that...
