I'd love to have a high-end magnetic force restoration scale. Just because I like nice things. But, 500 yards is all that I shoot and I'm also a thrifty kind of guy that's married to an accountant. So, I use a ChargeMaster for all my 100-200 loads and, for the 300-500, use it to feed a $50...

There are gyroscopic stability tools on e Berger and JBM Ballistics sites.

As a historical aside, what Wilbur mentions is the reason that the Constitutional Convention ended up with a bicameral legislature in The Great Compromise. Not a good idea here, but just noting that it's an age-old problem and it often requires much compromise to create a lasting solution.

Depends on the reamer. Some of us are using a reamer that has a 50 thou long neck to make use of the extra neck that you get when formed by rattling a 6mm bullet down a dedicated fire-forming barrel.

Why buy a 36x and have it boosted by third party when you can buy a 45x with a lifetime warranty off the shelf? The LCS 45 is 20.4 ounces. There are used March 50x around. I have one. Very nice. 20.8 ounces. There is the NF Competition 15-55x. But, it's 27.8 ounces. Nicest scope that I...

If there is ready help available, and you're inclined to expand your original "100-600 yards, perhaps expanding to 1,000 later" to include the possibility of 600-100 now, I'd say to go with the Dasher. If brass becomes available, that'd be great. I've been on very large projects long enough...

I challenge you to find where I made that assertion. Not where that's what you took away from what I said, but what I actually said. That's one hypothesis. It's my current working hypothesis. And, other things held constant, I use velocity as a stand in for it because I can't find a good...

The straight 6 BR is a tad easier. Zero brass forming and a more versatile neck. The Dasher gives you more velocity that is helpful at longer range. There is also the BRX, the BRDX, the BRBS, etc. Moving up the BC a bit, you have the 6.5x47 Lapua. There will be more recoil. Super easy...

A lot of people in the BR HoF believe that there is a correlation between neck tension and what happens on the target. If someone wanted a better handle in it, they could do a double-blind test shooting rounds with random neck tensions and see if there is a correlation between neck tension and...

Three points: 1. "Jam!!" could easily be misconstrued to be full jam. Going from full jam to 10 thou off would miss a bunch of good spots. 2. I've, personally, never jumped a PPC *anything* like 20 thou. I use just kissing the lands as an index and vary in and out by 3 thou. Seems like I...

Sorry about that, Dennis. What can I say, it's a Monday. I can't think of much else to trim that much.

You're only 8/100's of an ounce over. That's not much. If you were saying that your rear is a double screw ring, you might try going to a single screw. If the scope won't stay in place in the single screw, that's where bedding it in would enter the picture. Skeletonize the trigger guard or...

OK, silly questions: Are you weighing the gun as you'd take it to the line? Lens and turret caps off? Any crown protector you might have off? What kind of rings do you have? I got a bit of weight back when I went to Harrell's rings from extra tall Kelbly's. If you have two double-screw...

If you are shooting 10.5 lbs, you are not going to be able to tolerate the weight of a variable. You can at 13.5. At 10.5 lbs, mostly you see T-36, Leupold LCS 45 (or some guys with the BRD in group), or the March fixed. At 13.5, things open up. Around here, you see quite a few NF 12-42x BR...

There are two kinds of carbon fouling. Carbon on down the barrel and the infamous carbon ring right at the junction of the neck and rifling. For the latter, search on here for "carbon ring". For the former, there are many ways to get it out and many different products. For the really...

If it's that heavy use a barrel block.

If you can't them, try David Halblom's. Google "Flying Fish Fundamentals".

Yep. Sorry. I should have been clear.

One of the advantages of the Savage and the Cooper is that it can continue to be a factory through multiple barrels. Shoot out the barrel in the Sako and it's done as a factory.

6PPC. Mr. Cruzan's is a good example.
