    Pellet sizing

    To be clear.....I was actually mocking the the ridiculous way the experiment was performed. I got a kick out of the unbelievably short term testing that was used in an uncontrolled environment.....yet, definitive conclusions were drawn. I have no inclination one way or the other about the...

    Pellet sizing

    I don't very often look at the yellow forum......but I was directed there the other day and while I was looking for something else, I came across this gem. http://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/thread/1435191416/An+Eye+Openning+Test+of+the+Pelletgage... It was the highlight of that particular...

    Pellet sizing

    You are correct in assuming that pellets are not round. I have spent a lot of time with a laser micrometer and a 100x optical comparator measuring pellets. The most round pellets are maybe .0005" difference from largest area to smallest......and those are pretty rare. Pellet head size is...

    Wanted to buy Bench rest stock for Theoben MFR

    Bob, Todd Banks had a few custom RAW stocks he made for sale at last years nationals. I think he had a Maple and a Walnut. You might ask if he is still making them. They looked nice. Mike

    Hi Paul.....yes, FedEx tried to deliver on Friday. They called and told me I could pick it up after 5:00, but when I went there the delivery driver had not yet returned. So it will be redelivered on Monday. I actually shot a .22 in HV this last time at Joe's. I just didn't shoot it all that...

    Glad you're better, Dave. Scary stuff. My daughter and I had a great time out at Joe's, and look forward to doing it again. Thanks a bunch to everyone for the hospitality! It's a great place to shoot and hang out. I was hoping to make a larger improvement in my shooting in those tough...

    That's how our range is, Pete.....but most everywhere else is full of obstacles and wind impediments. It makes it hard for us to learn the really tricky stuff, since we don't have much of it to practice in. When the sun comes over the trees, we get vertical oddities. Of course, anyone is...

    We had a few visitors today that will hopefully come back and join us soon. Just Darrin and I ended up shooting. We shot a LV gun with a plain LW barrel and my original magnetic strike. The magnetic works just fine, but it's kind of an air waster. We shot 8.44's at 795.....and decided to...

    New Side Lever for Thomas BR Mechanical

    Thanks..... I have made a few that way. I have shot both right and left swing breeches, and have found left swinging awkward when sitting on the left of the gun. It's much more of a natural hand movement to swing to the right for righties.....just simple pronation and supination. Linzie...
