Guys, Once again, thanks for your speedy assistance. For those who may have the same problem - I found that the hair-dryer made it much easier to peel off but it does leave a bit more adhesive behind than if you peel it off cold. I used some automotive carb. cleaner to remove the residue...

Guys, I accidentally damaged the stock tape on the fore-end of my benchrest rifle. What's the best way to remove it without damaging the paint job? Thanks in advance Vince (UK)

Hi Paul, I think you have my e-mail address - if so, send me your postal address and I'll send you a 300 yd BR target. Cheers Vince (UK)

Guys, In F Class competition - be it Open or F/TR - the rifle is rested front and rear - just like a benchrest rifle. Anyone seen an adjustable cheek-piece on a benchrest rifle? Cheers Vince (UK)

With the 22 Beggs, a full case (halfway up the neck) of Vit133 (51.75 clicks) was giving me 3410 fps with Bart's 52gn bullets. Accuracy OK. No pressure. 50 clicks on the Harrel of Hodgdon Benchmark was giving 3580fps and better accuracy. Again, no pressure. My barrel is only 20 inches as I...

FB Judging by the interest in the 220 Beggs, a lot of us will be shooting it in competition this season. I'm about to start, having just got my dies from Gene. You are obviously a few steps ahead - would you care to share your load data? Thanks Vince (UK)

Tyler, I've sort of built one. A friend with a 223 Savage BVSS wanted something a bit better for no money. It cost him the price of a new bolt-head. Ran in a 22 Dasher reamer a bit longer into the existing barrel - just enough to take out the 223 chamber and cut a new neck. Couldn't cut the...

Guys, Maybe this has been discussed before - if so, sorry. Is there any history of difficult extraction with this cartridge? The rifle I'm working with is a new Browning A Bolt. Extraction is very difficult with both factory and home-loads. Thanks Vince (UK)

The 6.5 Creedmore is very close to the 6.5x47 Lapua. I would speculate that the Lapua brass will be superior to the Hornady. The 6BR and any of its derivatives - Dasher, BRDX etc. will make a great F Class round out to 600 yds. - and you have the advantage of Lapua brass. The 6mm version of...

Gene, I wonder if it would be possible for you to e-mail me as well. I'm anxious to get two of the Hornady dies for the 220 Beggs and I need to arrange payment with you from the UK. My e-mail is vinceb@6ppc.fsnet.co.uk Thanks Gene. Cheers Vince (UK)
