Y'ain't seen nuthin' yet..............wait 'till mid January! -Dave-:eek:

If you're currently using round lead, you could use square aluminum tubing for a mold and pick up volume in the corners. Size for size, the square will be 21.46% heavier than the round. -Dave-:)

I just finished my concrete bench in early November. I had been shooting down the same lane into the same frame/dug-in backstop off of a slightly upward-tilted wooden bench for about the past 10 years. I have about 6 1/2' of rise to the 100 yard target, and made the top level. I have to raise my...

I get the distinct feeling that you're holding out on the type of incense you use.......probably just to protect an (unfair) competitive advantage. I do see though that you were specific about which bones are used from the (unfortunate) chicken ...Thanks. -Dave-

You make your point well, and I understand. Honestly, someone usually has already told the poster to try another forum before I even see their post. In this case, I gave an honest answer.....yes, I could have told him that either one should work just fine, or to try different primers and decide...

I went over and looked at the 600/1000 yard forum........turns out that Dodge Man posted his question there a few minutes after I answered him........but a few minutes before he proceeded to tell me off for suggesting he post his question there...go figure. Not surprisingly, he got a number of...

Stephen, 1) He didn't offend me either...I never said anything like that. I honestly gave him the best answer I've seen here so far. Everyone except you has tried to convey that to him. My intent has been obvious to everyone except you. 2) ...Nobody except Wilbur & his moderators...and...

Interestingly enough, I am a life-long Ford guy...:p -Dave-:)

Stephen, You're wrong. Most of the regular posters who compete regularly in matches have been at this game a lot longer than this forum has been in existance. Also, I notice that you weren't able to give him any useful information either. I tried to tell him where he could post his...

Dodge Man, First of all, I'm truely sorry that my reply offended you. I want you to know that I intended only to point you toward the forum on this site that is the perfect match for your question. I could have just left it to someone else to tell you that 100-200 yard Benchrest competitors...

That would be an excellent question for the 600/1000 yard forum. The 300 win mag is a common round in the 1000 yd game. -Dave-:)

I believe any stretching of the jacket is excessive. The problem with stretching the jacket isn't so much that the grip on the core is lost, but instead that the jacket wall doesn't stretch evenly. When material is displaced and and flows, the bullet becomes inbalanced and is no longer straight...

I thought I'd wait for a handful of posts to be added before I made one, just to see how much would be shared. I came in this afternoon and found that there were a whole lot of new ones....clearly an interesting topic to many. I had help getting started in 2000 from a number of excellent and...

True at 100 yards nearly all of the time. Not true at 200 unless you're shooting in a honey hole. Untrue at 300. -Dave-:)

Whitty! Man, we've got to wake up a half hour early to get one up on Stephen...

The bad news is NO, you won't win small group, because of the added penalty. The good news is that if you put it in the center fo the mothball there will be an "-1X" after the 1._ _ _ listed in the match report. Sorry, I couldn't help myself either.:D -Dave-:)

Winning the big one once is quite an accomplishment. Winning twice is huge. Winning Shooter Of The Year two years in a row makes quite a statement. Congratulations Harley! -Dave-:)

If the rule simply says to deduct a point, why would you deduct the X also? It has been stated here that a 49-5X is impossible, so you have to deduct the X also................Clearly a 49-5X is possible...It happens when a shooter fires one X on the wrong target and 4 on the right target. The...

What'cha gonna do if they're perfectly on line with one another.....;)

I have a 50-5X 300 yard target shot with a 6PPC from match 1 at Thurmont some years ago. I ended up finishing with enough X's to break the record, but was down a point. When did I drop the point??? In match 2, of course...........I was sure I was "Superman" after shooting that 5X, but I somehow...
