There are still many great action and barrel makers out there. Hard to beat most of them. I have come around to liking buttoned barrels myself. Looking back, the three Hummers I have had were buttoned but I have used so few, it's hard to tell. We all develop beliefs in things and many of us...

The LD IBS SCORE Nationals were held at the Lincoln County Rifle Club in Damariscotta, Maine this past weekend with a great turn out and some fine shooting. Results are or will be shortly at the IBS site. Pleasure to meet some faces I have chatted with on here in the past.

Horror Freight. One can be off a pound or so and it won't matter as long as its the same every time.

Thanks for your rely and I agree with you on all of it. I haven't put the time into tuners I should have. @ 80 in a few days, Likely won't happen so I'll 'shut up and drink my Gin'. Pete

What I have done a lot of is shoot RF rifles inside and have for sure found many times there is the best place in a tuner. What it presents is a flat node, if you will. That is to say the tuner can be moves in either direction a click two three without much change in group shape. I don't claim...

Me, I'd go with 13 :)

I watched one of Erik Cortina's interviews recently with a LD champion and one who is regarded to be The Tuner Expert, Erik's Words, in the LD game that lad played in. Without going into much for details he stated that there is one spot in a tuner that is the best spot and one should go through...

I have a Borden now and have had it for several years. It is a very good rifle, I have nothing adverse to say about it. super smooth operating and shoots as well as I can shoot it. It's in a Meredith stock which Tom bedded and has Shilen barrel with a Beggs tuner on it. 1-17 30 BR. I don't know...

I'd agree.

Is the 6 Grendel stay in tune better then the 6 PPC?

Gordy Gritters has books and CD's for sale. He also runs schools in Florida and will travel to give private instruction. Great guy and know his stuff.

I attended an Action Truing two day seminar last winter and during the second day the Barrel discussion came up. The presenter told us of and showed us his equipment he uses to slug barrels to find the irregularities in the bore and how he lapps the irregularities out. This was the first I had...

Currently Unavailable it says.

Can someone please furnish me with a source for plunger type ejector springs that are used in most custom actions. I would like to buy a small amount to have on hand.. Thanks, Pete

I see retirees entering the Benchrest Sports. Many of them can afford the equipment and have the extendible income to buy the things necessary. Unfortunately, prices will never roll back to yesteryear so one must fit in as many matches as they can. We are fortunate here in Maine in that we have...

I've had several BAT's over the years but like actions that use the Walker firing pin system better, for no particular reason.

Perhaps the most overlooked area of reloading and one of the most important. All one has to do is test a ladder of seating depths by .001" increments to see that in fact .001" matters a lot. Exact powder charges and exact seated bullets; can't go wrong. One can't overdo anything with regard to...

I guess a Borden B RLR Meredith stock, Shilen trigger, Hart barrel, March scope. Why is it nobody can come up with a chambering in 243 that will stay in tune better than what Is the usual?

How about a Mack Bros action in a Meredith Stock, Shilen trigger. The March 40-60 scope with the smallest dot I can get. Since I like RRR's this would do me. :) What I do have is a 13.5 lb Rimrock M RLR in a Meredith stock, 15-55 Night force, 30 BR. This is my second Rimrock M RLR. The other...

I use a torque wrench for both. I want to have defined benchmarks whenever I can get them. I'm back to 100 fp for barrel torque. I went to a school last winter presented by a famous Gunsmith and he said he uses 150 fp and has "cured" some finicky shooters by doing so. I used 100 fp for years...
