Man, that 70 degree stuff looks unbearable! I'm trying to feel your pain, but my feeler is frozen (-13 here last night). -Dave-:)

I'll bet if you read the label on the copper anti-sieze you'll find it is intended for high temperature applications. If you have a proper thread with a least minimal clearance, keep the joint clean, and use a thin coating of brand-name EP grease you shouldn't have a bit of trouble with barrel...

We're having nice January weather in the Pittsburgh area. It was waaayyyyy warmer than your -35 on the way in this morning..........the thermometer in my dash showed -6. -Dave-:)

You're only going to face a little off of the shoulder, so you don't have to put the death grip on the barrel..........I don't think you have to worry about springing your chuck. Remember, the screws aren't for centering one work piece after another......They're only intended to be used to...

Take the spring (under the flint) out of a regular-size Bic lighter and have a look at it..........It might be just what you're looking for. -Dave-:)

There is a lesson in there, Adrian........that shooter should have shot THREE guns! -Dave-:)

They are for sale on the IBS web site for $55.00 each. -Dave-:)

It is interesting that the most commonly used match primer (Federal) seems to be the most inconsistant in seating feel. Still, I used them pretty much exclusively for BR since getting started in '95. I struggled with getting and keeping a rifle in top form more this past season than I ever have...

If I were working with a .308 and wanted to determine which primer was best for it, I'd do it like this: First, I'd work up a load using the standard Federal. Then, I'd switch in the Federal match, the standard Winchester, and the standard CCI. There are others that could be tried, but these...

I have a Sinclair I bought in '95.....It works good has held up well, and I don't have any plans to replace it any time soon, BUT.....If I had it to do over again I'd buy the K&M. It is mechanically every bit as good as the Sinclair, at half the price. It is also a little quicker and easier to...

Dick, WHAT is taped to the middle of that target? -Dave-:)

Adrian VanGorder took (at least) one a year or two ago that is really cool......I think is was at 300 yards at the Mainville PA. If I remember correctly, he posted it here just after the shoot. Maybe he'll see this and chime in. -Dave-:)

I agree with you completely. If you look at the posts, you'll see that all but one poster have engaged in discussion and aired their opinions without acting in appropriately. Unfortunately, one person has chosen to be offensive, and I will respond as I see appropriate. I appologize if you have...

The stages of acceptance of change: i. this is worthless nonsense, ii. this is interesting, but perverse, iii. this is true, but quite umimportant, iv. I always said so. -J. B. S. Haldane 1963 During stage one (1) it isn't unusual for some to behave quite irrationally; to the extent of...

Yes, there is quite a number of Score Shooting opportunities available to us. It is also a good, albiet obvious, observation that a dedicated 6mm class would open up a lot of possibilities. One only has to consider for a moment (if they can open their mind) about the fact that there are loads of...

Al, VFS was pretty much a 6mm game all along; the .22 was never really used by the "serious" competitor with a strong desire to win. Also, there is less that .010" difference in radius between the .22 and the 6mm.....again, there is .032" between the 6mm and the .30. Al, I agree with you...

Al, Please take what I'm about to write at face value only, and know that it is said with the utmost respect. Concerning your reference to match reports from when we were pretty much all shooting a 6mm: Best and average winning scores were 2 to 3 X's lower than in recent years. It still...

Hal, I don't know if you were shooting yet at the time, but about 3 years ago I wrote a rule change proposal to restrict the LVS to 6.5mm and seperate the classes. The intention was to encourage the LV 6mm shooters to come back out to some score shoots and not have to overcome the .30 bullet...

Take a look at the Air Glide from Plano. It loads from the top, has lots of room, and has foam blocks and velcro straps to hold the rifle. It is molded plastic, and has 3 latches and a place for a padlock. At less than $30, they're a bargain. -Dave-:)

Exactly.......I suggest you take your own advice. If you really don't see what I mean, read back through the posts. I'm wasting my time here......You know my motives (they haven't changed since back when we were on friendly terms).......obviously you're going to continue to paint this the way...
