Yes mike it moves the belt/ case head .. I use a simple single stage press.. It 's tapered most of the length and then runs parrallel for about 12.7mm.. Dia is dependent on the case size before firing ..The Lapua brass i currently use is .529 when new ,the die is .5285 and i resize every case...

Yes Rick , the die in the 1st post shows the case protruding through ,the rod below the vernier is used to push the case through the die neck first ,using a normal 7/8 x 14 press..The case in the pic was from my 7mm Short Mag i made from 6.5 Rem Mag brass back in 1997 ,the avaliable Remington...

I just took 2 pics of a case that was originally not safe to hold a primer ( pocket id was .2110 and belt dia was .5325.. I then ran it through the swag tool and took another pic ( pocket id is .2095 and the belt dia is .5285)..On brass that is weak i resize every firing and get up to 20...

Hi All , This is the way i have been swaging then for last ten years..JR..Jeff Rogers ..pic of die

Hi all, My my distant prospective on cartridge choice i would say that there are some underlying reasons why shooters choose the cartridges they do .. 1/ the choice is made because of weather patterns locally ..We have a lot of a following strong left/right fishtail breeze ,the 3000fps 6.5s will...

Hi BlackT, I notice with interest seeing the figures have come out that at Missoula range this year one of the top guys there shot a 6 match average throughout the whole year in light/heavy ,thats 12 targets in 2 classes with a average group of 5.741ins and an average score of 96.58 from a...

Hi BlackT, Some things i have learned , the more recoil that is involved the more you need the right gunstock ,also if your bench is unstable the lighter recoil will be easier to learn to handle ..The learning curve is made so much easier if the gun/ cartridge are both accurate and repeatable...

Hi Blacktornado, It would be helpfull to include if the gun will be used for multi disciplines ,If just for 1000 yd benchrest as your IBS/ NBRSA tag suggests then the stats are right about the fact that the 300s win more events .. If it's will be shot in f class then i for one would pic another...

While i only shoot in Australia , we shoot the same target and rules that you guys in the US do .. That said the rules would have to change to a score only match for your proposal to be warranted , at present there are 2 areas that a person can strive to be good at ,1 is group shooting and the...

Hi All , I came up from my shed to see this post ,i have been working on just such an animal this morning .. A Pal wanted a Heavy Gun for 1K after shooting my custom built dropport but did not have the funds for a new action even though there is none configured like this comercially ,so we set...

LRBR Greats Hi all ,Well it looks like most every publication available is about prone shooting ,it seems to me that there is scope for a book to be written about needs of the LR Benchrest competitor . Who's got their hand up ,Mr Tooley or mabye a fellow by the name of Mr L Anderson.. I see...

Hi All , Just scared myself with figures when adding the costs of shooting a Heavy Gun in Australia.. Here's the rundown 7of VV560 = 61 cents 210m primer = 7 cents 187 BIB bullet = 90 cents Thats $1.58 add in case life at 20 reloads at a cost of $300 Thats $.15 Last barrel...

Hi Matt , New shooter came to our range recently intent on competing with a 270 , we told him that he would be better of starting with something that's easy to tune and get components for (we were wrong).. He did not want to hear that so he ordered a comp tight neck reamer and built a gun ...

Hi all ,Is the wind bucking ability with the extra speed of the 6x47 over the 6 BR worth changing cartridges.. I don't think anyone will argue with the great accuracy of the little one with the 100--107s.. In the real world my come ups to 1000yds with my heavy gun don't equal the charts i have...

Hi all , I need a connection to buy high scope riser block or blocks to suit Rem 700 LA please..JR..Jeff Rogers

Hi All , Happy days ,In Nov of 2008 we lost the ability to conduct 1000yd matchs on our home range ,without insurance and a proper sanctioned home for our matchs things have been a bit dreary over here.. Well It's Back.. Yesterday we shot our 1st 1K match for 2009..We had blistery ,gusting winds...

Hi All , I made a swage tool back in 1998 abouts ,because i could not keep the pockets in the Rem cases i was forced to use..I still can not shoot my case (based on a 300 WM Lap case) without using the swager on each firing.. It is not rocket science to make one ..JR .. Jeff Rogers..ps i no...

In the larger 7mm's in my tests Retumbo has been the most severe in the barrel wear stakes of any powder previously tested.. If i had another cartridge that was a perfect match for Retumbo's burning then i would simply change to another case rather than get that sort of erosion ..JR..Jeff Rogers

Hi Guys , I guess i was leaning more towards a LR Benchrest Heavy Gun . I was thinking this would be about as expensive as a rifle gets both here and in the US .. AT 11 big ones it must be a all singin,all dancin affair so what a about a top flite alloy stocked H/G as a comparison, what do they...

Hi All , I see a lot of banter about the Rimfire BR rifle that sold for $11.000 just recently.. The question i have is ,what does it cost to buy a top flite 1000yd rifle in your country??. Over the last 10 years i mainly have only purchased Bullets And barrels from the US ,so i have never seen a...
