After shooting some hunting rifles recently with muzzle brakes, I have been reminded to look into one for my 1000yd LG again. I remember some talk a few years back when I had one on my varmint gun, that they were supposed to be hard on scopes. The reasoning was that the recoil was supposed to...

Do you use electronic targets in USA for F Class? In Australia since electronic targets are taking over, people are setting up for speed shooting. I prefer my RBLP rifle than my RBRP. I have also just brought a LBLP action to shoot right handed. My right hand will hold the pistol grip down while...

I have used my 6PPC (with 66gn FBs)at 300yds for F class and think it is a great wind reading training tool. Compared to 6BR with 105gn bullets, you realy need to hold off a lot. If there were lots of flags, 5 shot matches and the ability to shoot very fast when conditions call for it, I would...

This amount of metal around the brass is something I considered. I have 2 barrels, one a True-flite with std 1.25" diameter breach end (they dont make them any wider) and 31" long. The other is a Broughton with 1.35" breach and 28" long. I will be limiting pressures with the thin barrel to...

Laurie, I wouldnt be builing a 6.5 WSSM if I was shooting 800-1000yds in the conditions you shoot in. I would build what you blokes are building. I use a 284 for the longs as in Australia we generaly dont have as rough conditions as I have heard you have in U.K, and we shoot F class at 300,500...

I,m building up a 6.5 WSSM (25WSSM necked up) for F class. Has anyone here used one? Mine is a thin neck reamer so a 25 WSSM FLS die works with my 6.5. I will be using H4350 powder to get 2820 fps, or even 2940 if it is possible. Has anyone here tried one?

After 5 284 barrels, I have settled on 2820 fps (and even a 2700fps load for light conditions when we are going for Xs). I have tried 2950 fps in each of them but it was never consistant and was hard on the brass. I think the reason the Shehanes have lost popularity, is that you still have to...

As for how do we set up on grass. We still use the same rests front and rear as in benchrest. A lot of people have F class feet on the front rest legs to stop the posts from sinking into the dirt, If you dont have these feet, just use a thin peice of wood, or as I have had to resort to on the...

The general consensus is that 8" will sometimes work. 7.8 will usualy work, 7.5 will always work then?

If you lived in my area, I could give you some boxes of 115s to try. I wont be needing them. I use a 6x47 as well and have tried the 115 DTACs and 115 Bergers, But only in 2 different 8" twist barrels. Maybe my barrels were not suited to those particular bullets, but they didnt work well in...

I havent used mine at short range (1-200yds) but have used it a lot at longer ranges in F class. Lovely cartridge and I cant think of many better for 300-500yd shoots, but then mine has a 9" twist barrel shooting 68gn flat base bullets. I would think as a gun to shoot from 100-500yds, a 22BR...

Rusty. The reason I asked the questions was to get some advice from those who know what they are talking about, so I,m not stuck with an unsuitable reamer as you said. A previous reamer I got ground for target application from Dave Kiff had a throat .002" over bullet diameter, so I thought I...

I will be ordering a 6.5 reamer soon and was wondering what throat diameter would be best for F class/1000yd BR? I have some remaers with .002" clearance but have seen some with as little as .0001" (Tenth of a thou) clearance.

Mate, if anyone wants to compete against me with one of these things, it is fine with me. As long as they can handle the recoil of one in light gun weight limits.

If you are using the duplex reticle in the 6-24x Bushnell, then you will get by. I used the higher duplex for around 100yds, then I used the cross hair with the elevation just about bottomed out (about 1moa up), then with the scope all the way up I made 900yds. For 1000yds I used the bottom...

As for barrel cleanliness and accuracy, each barrel is a law unto its self. My favourite 2 barrels are worlds apart. My 7mm (284 F class rifle)wont shoot until it has been fouled with at least 8-10 shots, then will tack hole for 150 rounds or so. It starts to shoot, when the carbon streaks are...

For Open, it is usualy 30" long and about 1" to 1.1" at the muzzle being common.

If you just want to blow away the powder and are not worried about carbon and unburnt powder in your fireforming barrel, the jam as much H4831SC as you can get in there. If it doesnt blow right out, at least you might be able to jam a bit more in next time. Something I found when fireforming...

Good videos, keep em coming

I have been thinking of trying large primer brass in my 6x47. I was thinking that the smaller primer/flash hole is not always reliable in setting off H4350 powder, while my other calibers with large primers love it. What cases do you think would be best (easiest) to make large primer brass for a...
