Ideas! That's a neat idea..JR..Jeff Rogers

Fo what it's worth Hi All , I shoot only LR benchrest so the following is from this prospective only ..I have found that qualifying all bullets at Base to Ogive at land dia and bearing surface ( from the same) and then uniforming the meplat from that point forward (.300 on a .308 bullet)...

ways John , All the guys at our home range shoot the standard US system of 6 minute sighters followed by 10 minutes of shoot any time ya want (BLIND)..In 2001 when we started that was the only choice so i guess we grew up with it .. Since the advent at Brisbane and Canberra using the dual...

Hi john ,Thankfully at 1000yd benchrest matchs in Australia as in the US there are shooters that don't deem it necessary to see the bullet holes in the target to be able to get great results in group or the score ..Anyone that has shot 1000yd BR for any length of time will tell you that your...

1000yd Benchrest Hi all , When using the projectile for 1000yd Benchrest ,what cartridge /powder/ and bullet speed has proved to be the best so far ??..JR.. Jeff Rogers

Classes Hi guys , Your version of things over there mirrors just about what i have tried over here in AUS.. I have attempted in the 3 long range events we have over here(551yds , 600 yds and 1000yds) to have a base/ factory class shooting along side L/G and H/G ..At 551 yds (FLY Shoot) i gave...

Hi all, Just wondered why the sanctions have never put their full weight behind factory class at 600 and 1000 yds , ranges support this part of the program with prizes and events to shoot at ,why is it it never made it into the rule book?..JR..Jeff Rogers

bullets! Hi Joel ,RG has OK'd the 15 twist with his 1.150 jacketed 165s..I was hopeing to talk him into making this 160/162 but as yet i have not asked..His estimate was about .480 real world Bc,if i can get these to approx 3150 in the RWS 270w case it will not be ugly in regards to wind ..Then...

Hi Charles, I think your right about the Big tubes ..The set up we use is nothing more than a slightly larger Light Gun set up , mabye this is where the wall thickness comes into play,but i don't know as i have selected the best tube from the get go.. I am doing a L/G soon it will use 1.500 od...

Tubes Hi All, My initial tests before i built the 1st gun proved to me that the wall thickness was important to the muzzle movement when heat was applied (barrelled action set up on the mill bed with X&Y dail indicators)...Also the material that was thicker on one side than the other vibrated...

Threads Lynn , don't fret over the thread ,i use the metric equal to 1.250 by 16 tpi but tony has no problems with any imperial sizes..i,m sure that Jim will have no problems also cuttin a thread to the nut supplied ,it's that simple..JR

Swap Hi Lynn,Will contact by email today on details, No need to send money ,we are always pushed to get products over to here .. we can swap something.. if you are going with the tube size i use ,let me know quick as the stuff i bought 3 days ago was the best wall concentricity i have ever seen...

Hi Jay , A simple matter from me as i have a 1.250 barrel tenon and want a step to butt against the action face , just putting on the 3rd barrel now , they have all been 1.450 for 6 ins ,straight tapered to 1.250 @32ins ..Same size thread on the muzzle as the tenon ,except left handed .. Tube...

Tubes! Hi All , I dumbed onto a successfull way of stretching the barrel and do not intend to change ,simply because of the results .. Important points to me ,action is conventionally bedded/glued(no blocks /tube stocks), action is of a size that will carry the extra weight of the tube and...

Hi all,After 5 years i finally got around to testing the gun with and without the stretcher..I have a load for club matchs that i pulled from hat 2 years ago using 200Smks in a 13 twist,shoots good but not great (still took SG at 600yds recently in heavy mirage).. Anyway ,results without is...

Speeds Bryan ,This is not my gun , i was the one callin the shots ,so to speak on the load development .. The gun is an AUST LRBR Light Gun and is the same as all but one of the US sanctions(5 Shot)_.. the speeds to me are as unimportant as the BC figures ,we try with every cartridge to get to...

Tests We completed tests recently with the 2 Sierra's at 1000yds.. No body has yet to mention the speed at which the bullet shoots .. In these tests ( group only) we took a well known 1K light gun (shot down to just under 3.5in) ,developed the best loads it could produce over a 6 month period...

Comps Hi Phil, "Does it work" yep , seems to .. As to the true effectiveness , my guess is you would have to ask my fellow competitors..As to the looks , it's no 10x2 BAT thats for sure but i'm not much on the looks thing anyhow.. At the end '06 i got asked straight out by one of the past LR...

Explanations Now you have a pic to go by tonyZ can chime in here, he's the master machinist ,not me ..JR
