Jul Report - We had 13 shooters show today (however, five of them either didn't start or finish the 200 yard matches); the shooters included Randy Todd (shooting his first BR match) and long-absent Bryan Griffith. It was about 72° when we started shooting, and ~ 79° when we finished. Partial...

With so many of our benchrest friends and acquaintances having "left the range," I thought it would be nice to have a somewhat comprehensive list of them. Feel free to post name(s) and date(s) of death of your benchrest friends and acquaintances who have "left the range"; I'll add them to a...

You say, "HUH?" I had to google "roll pin" to know what you're talking about. :unsure: What's happening inside the handle? Does the grease exert enough pressure on the roll pin to keep it pressed against the"shoulder" of the groove that's cut into the rod? That tiny little hole doesn't look...

The only hole on the side of the handle is barely large enough to stick a sewing needle in it. Is that the hole you squirt grease into? How does a little grease keep the handle attached to the rod on the backstroke?

I just looked for the hole to which you must be referring, and may have found it — it's VERY tiny. Do I need to try to clean the hole? What do you use to squirt grease into it? Also, where can I get Mobil 28 grease?

I've often had the handle come off on the way out, leaving the rod "stuck" in the barrel. :confused:

Source, please. :) I agree. :)

Years ago, I learned that my FIL was seriously wounded in France, maybe in July 1944. I learned just recently that he was at Normandy on D-Day. One of my regrets in life is that I didn't spend much time talking to him about his war-time experiences. I was young and dumb. :(

Steve, apparently L.E. was known as "Sam," (https://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/precision-reloading-guide-part-1-the-accurate-rifle/384728) and he died in 1985 (https://lewilson.com/about) at the age of 90...

Steve, I looked at the "About Us" section of the Wilson Tools website, https://lewilson.com/about, and didn't see any mention of L.E. Wilson — what am I missing?

That's not my 6T3 :( ; it's just a picture I downloaded off the internet.

Mort, this might help → post # 21 at https://benchrest.com/forum/threads/for-the-car-guys-among-us.87459/page-2#post-852501. I think both of the 'Vettes are shown there.

My favorite non-gospel songs? The following come easily to mind (in alpha order): • Against the Wind (Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band); • And I Love You So (Perry Como); • Forever Young (Joan Baez); • Honey (Bobby Goldsboro); and • Softly As I Leave You (Elvis)
