In Benchrest Group. Need to count the shoots for record. So a backer system is used to move slowly back and forth behind the target. And then you can count the shoots. This is a carrier system and a thin card board is used. NONE NBRSA/IBS. I miss typed the posts. I believe we used 6x6 last...

Is this for counting shoots or sealing the back for less light? Counting shoots is thick paper. Almost cardboard. Sealing the back for less light. 1" behind for SR BR. Rubber inner tubes from trucks. Usually free. Big Targets 600y. Conveyor belts from a steel factory or Quarry. Would last a...

Hi Mike. Thanks for the update.

Oopps. Lead cores.

You would scratch your die first. A friend did this. He was not mechanically inclined. Missed the part about wiping your 6PPC brass off with a cloth. I use wash clothes. Wash them 3-4 times to be softer than new. Then apply die wax. Then wipe off again. His die and chambers were scratched.

Lead oxidation. Helps the lead and copper bond. I was told by a famous bullet maker. That after he started this, his bullets took off. He got that advise from another famous bullet maker. That's what I remember.... But, I took a bullet chucked it up. Used hack saw to cut it. Then it took 2 pairs...

That was done.

Mike. So you don't boil your lead cores in TSP? For 10 min. Oopps.

What he said..... I use .08gn of lanolin and castor oil/500 jackets. Tumble for 5 min. Lanolin and Vaseline caused the jacket to get stuck on point up. Not really stuck. But, created a good suction and bullet would go back in die... That was when the humidity got below 30%. About January at my...

Is this correct? Lubed lead cores????

What scratches??? They look beautiful. As a famous bullet maker once said "Just Shoot them".

A nice day to shoot in Michigan. 65° and rainy. Wind was about 10-20 mph. Ron Robovitsky stayed clean. So he won.

Do you have a borescope? Look real good at the first 6-8" from chamber. I had a couple that were bad. The lands were a different thickness. All the sudden got heavy bolt lift with new brass. And groups opened up.

29.2 gn of N133. Barrels should be 213/4"or so to make weight for NBRSA. Don't worry about speed. It's all about the group.... Jack runs 30.4gn.
