Rail guns and Texas weather For the suffering few. We have been enjoying this Texas weather--about all we can stand. Loaded up old Red (95 Ford PU) with all the good stuff and the Rail Gun of course. A few hours after sun up. Pretty calm?? Out to the range and setting things up. A bit of a...

Glenn, Wish I could say there were many one hole groups. The weather has been warm and then cold and ugly. This old soul doesn't do cold well at all. The wife took a fall a few weeks back and broke things real good. We are house bound now for a while taking care of her. Our oldest daughter has...

Glenn, You hit the nail on the head. Before the last round of world problems I was an active dealer/mfg and FFL holder, as many of you probably are or were. As a mfg the supplies began to dry up until there was nothing but backorders. My major distributors went bankrupt, sold out, and etc. I...

Glenn, Thanks ever so much. This data is great. All I need now is some Varget and a few others to make things work. Where is all the handloading components going?? All I can get is backorder, out, No backorder and nothing etc. We gotta have powder and primers to make things work?? Thanks again...

Glenn, Finally found the Mail icon but nothing had come yet.. Computers!!! Skip

Glenn You lost me on the mail note?? I can't find any reference on this program where to go for your information. I am afraid I could use your help again. Skip

Glenn, We could sure use some warm weather. Morning is cold and day fair, The upper half of Texas as you know goes warm and cold every day. I am enjoying a round of diabetic problems but sure want to get out for a few rounds with the rail and new handloads. What are the best loads you guys...

Glen, You were right, the bench I have to set the rail gun on is far from steady. Those of us who shoot here in our small community use portable benches of every description. WE don't have a public range and use various areas by consent or lease. This means a complete set-up is necessary each...

Mr. Lambert, I do believe you lean toward something in the .224 cal class?? I like the 22 PPC and have picked up a few items. They don't come too cheap so this old soul will have to go slow. The Clausing is a great machine and we are lucky to have such. Skip

Mr. Lambert, Thanks for the information on the Rem Scope. I have had my scope on several rifles over the years. At one time I used it on my slug gun in .50 cal. that could get pretty interesting. Most slugs ran in the 450 gr.to 500 gr. cast. This is equipped with a underhammer action. The scope...

Thanks guys, this is good stuff. I was afraid this set up might be a little light. My shooting bench is light, but I can tie it down to the ground with an anchor (as used to tie down aircraft) screwed into the ground and a strap ran around the rail base and bench top. This took the shake out of...

The total weight is about 36 lbs.This on the kitchen scale. The base is 2 ft. long x 10 inch wide x 1/2 " thick. I couldn't find a thicker or much larger base. Nearly every piece is 6061 Alum. The cam for adjusting the sighter to target is steel probably 1020. The elevation screw and nut is...

My Thanks to Glenn for helping get this information and pictures. This 6 mm Rem B.R. started out a few years ago as a bench rifle and prairie dog gun. I replaced a 243 Win. Barrel action with a 1-8 twist I had just made with the 6 mm B.R. The beautiful Rail guns featured in Benchrest Central...

Glenn, Thanks for the help. It turns out that I must have a Micro pass word?? That was filled yesterday and the photos sent to you. I hope this worked. Skip

Rail Guns It seems I can import photos but cannot export on this computer. Thanks Glen, I will try getting things your way. At 91 years and pushing 92 I fail to understand a lot of the new technology. I can still manage my machines OK but computers??
