Doug, congratulations on your perfect "2500" card at the ARA Indoor Nationals this weekend. 8th Place overall in a tough crowd like that, isn't too shabby either. Received the match results via email from Ernie J. Thanks, ... John

How many cards for each rifle class? Thanks, ... John

Doug, never shot an IR50/50 match, but have read the rules for each of the three rifle classifications, 7 1/2, 10 1/2 & 13 1/2. At Manatee, do you shoot one card with each rifle at 50 yards, repeat again at 50 meters? Is the unlimited rifle; 3 cards at 50 yards and 3 cards at 50 meters? We have...

Bob, thanks for the clarification. I was somewhat puzzled that Center-X was mentioned as what Tony B. used. While some lots of Center-X are extremely good for local competitions, I doubted that Tony would have placed second in a highly competitive interstate match using it. Lapua Midas+...

The average Hoehn/Harrell tuner weighs around 9 ounces and this weight should to be about right for obtaining a good setting for the average rimfire BR rifle. I sense that the correct tuner weight has a lot to do with the barrel length, diameter, contour and the action it is attached to. I tried...

Yes, lot testing Center X and Midas + is required to find the most accurate batches. Sometimes, one can get lucky and find a lot of Center X that will perform as well as their higher priced Midas + at $6.00 less per box. I recently tested six lots of Center X and found one that was outstanding...

Tony Boyer asked me to post this on the forum; “I would like to thank DiOrio Mfg. Company for the new Turbo V-1 action, Bartlein Barrels for supplying the barrel and Lapua ammunition. These three companies afforded me the opportunity to shoot my first potential 3 target yards world record at...

Hello Wilbur: When clicking "Rimfire Benchrest" on the Forum Index page, it will not direct me to the Rimfire Benchrest forum. Just repeats the same page over and over. All other forum links listed on the page work correctly. Am I the only one having this problem? Please check it out. Thanks...

It been my personal observation that the most accurate lots of Lapua Center-X ammo require a strong firing pin strike, with a wide (retangular) foot print, to perform best. Light firing pin strikes on a Center-X ammo will cause groups to open up substantially. Eley ammo has performed better that...

"Do we have any firsthand experience with the top three Lapua loadings,X Act,Midas+ and Center X ???.Will" Now, I know that “Eley” Tenex and Match .22LR ammo dominate every major rimfire benchrest event. One just has to look at the equipment lists, to verify same. RWS and Lapua are not even...

I a tuner is correctly bored to a guage (snug) fit at the muzzle, 5 to 10 inch pounds of torque should be enough to keep it in place.

johncamsr, IMHO the Pro-Shot rods are the best deal out there for the money. Shipping was reasonable too ... under $9.00 UPS basic which included several additional small items in the package.

I recently purchased a 44" long Pro-Shot stainless steel cleaning rod for around $30 bucks. It has small 5/8" diameter x 4" long red alumimun handle, that rotates. This rod works great on my rimfire benchrest rifle(s) with the J&J Slide attached. It is long enough to push a cleaning patch past...

As I understand it ... its 4 and 5 groove canted land rifling or minimally invasive rifling. Can't answer the second part.

Below is a paragraph from a "Shooting Times" article with reference to Eley's TenEx ammunition: With nearly 1000 variables charted, the engineers addressed bullet and case design. Bullet design was analyzed with sophisticated computer modelling for in-flight characteristics. They discovered that...

Could the accuracy enhancements, be related to Eley's EPS [flat nose] bullet design?

Disassembling the bolt on a Suhl 150-1 is fairly easy. Often, there is a lot of gunk built up around the firing pin spring and in the housing itself. Soaking the parts in a good solvent, then using compressed air, should clean things up to where the firing pin strikes will improve. One can also...
