Very sorry to hear this. He was a good guy and I always enjoyed reading his posts. I knew I hadn't seen him posting anywhere in some time now. Prayers for his family and loved ones. He will be missed.

"Paper magic"...I like it! Lol! Yes, virtually every hole will measure smaller than bullet diameter by a bit and many people read the size and shape of the hole as part of their tuning..or reading tune.

It's clearly best edge, or the pics of the plugged targets are useless and it would seem intentionally so, unless best edge was the intention. Again, best edge "appears" to be the intention.

Definitely worth plugging and I'd say they both look good....from here. The plug giveth, and the plug taketh away.

Lol!:ROFLMAO:

Isn't group shooting caliber neutral, too? Based on that, it seems that score shooting via ibs/nbrsa is the only br shooting sport that isn't caliber neutral. Nothing wrong with that, though. Just sayin.... To me, handicapping is giving an advantage to one over others, ie, a bigger bullet hole...

He has a strong and very uninformed opinion of UBR. Uninformed is the key word because he's never done it. Nothing wrong with that...we're all that way if we have never done something. That part is not the problem. The problem is he bashes it without understanding or knowing anything about how...

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong here but it looks like he did yours just like any other. It appears that he left the gas block journal long, as some blocks are longer than yours. But, the gas port is in the same location regardless of how long the block or the journal is, for a given...

Just my 2 cents but Bat, Borden and Kelbly are safe bets that you can't go wrong with using. I'm a Borden fan but there are several more options out there today and some are good. Those three have proven good quality and since most are familiar with them and know that, they have good resale...

Both a LV and a HV RIFLE share the same max bbl dimensions. The problem is weight. You'll be more than hard pressed to make LV weight limits with a HV bbl.

Yeah, recoil and quality custom bullets are the two biggest reasons we don't see more people playing with things like that or maybe a 338BR, or similar. A standard 30BR is somewhere very near max practical recoil in a gun built for true accuracy, and that's only with premium bullets that are up...

It's why my tuner is made to attach the way it is! It's intended to MANAGE vibration, not to stop it! The late Gene Bukys and I had a couple of debates on this subject. He claimed his pinch bolt tuner design didn't move. I had the benefit of testing and seeing it with my own eyes with fancy test...

Hindsight is 20/20 but if you had used a machinable material, you could've tapped a hole in it to remove it with. ;) Al did a great job of explaining what I believe is an ideal weight system design..or very near it. I think it's ideal for several reasons, some less obvious reasons and some...

I much prefer to attach the weight to the butt plate and being machinable is a big deal in this regard. I've seen stocks destroyed by a weight getting loose in the back end because it wasn't attached. Most of us don't have the ability to machine tungsten carbide. Copper/tungsten alloy is the way...

I use 70/30 or 65/35 copper tungsten alloy rod that can be found on ebay. It's machinable and still almost as heavy as tungsten carbide. Not cheap but about 1.5x the weight of lead. It just works well. Lead shot and epoxy can be mixed on a budget but you won't get the same weight from it.
