Where did you get the roller cam from...BAT I presume? They don't list them as spares do they? I have a DS that I would dearly love to fit one to.

Unfortunately, mate, you are just going to have to get over it. An American Company did make the finest rimfire ammo in the world for a while - the original Federal Ultra Match. What happened to that? For what it is worth, the current Federal Ultra Match (made by RWS in Germany) shoots very...

I get the impression that the 3 lug BAT needs some mods for really consistent ignition - Tony Boyer was shooting off the next bench to me at the World Championships, and his silver rifle with the 3 lug had some considerable mods done to the back of the bolt. I think Wayne Campbell may have done...

In 1978 we had a lot of trouble with a couple of batches of Federal 205M primers down here, and they would blow out a pin hole just on the shoulder no matter what load was used. There are many scarred bolt faces around from this period. Then, just as we thought it was safe, the same thing...

They sure did - in centrefire anyway. The Shilen agent was right here in my home town and he got a few of those polygonal barrels through in both 224 and 6mm. That was in 1978/79. We noticed that they were very accurate and seemed to give just a little more velocity for the same loads. When I...

Down under in the land of Kangaroos, Maddco barrels have produced 15 twist barrels in both 3 and 6 groove for some time now. I had one of the first in 3 groove, as Nev Madden wanted me to do some R&D on it, such as testing out to 300 yards to check stabilisation etc. That barrel was a pearler...

Thanks Peter. Jim and I shoot together, by the way. I am off to the Australian Supershoot tomorrow, and my good mate from ADI will be there camping on the range with us. I will ask him about that 'rumour' concerning the 8208 that they make here. You may be aware that this powder is NOT sold in...

Perhaps you could start with Spellcheck or a Dictionary.

Absolutely!!! I have one of these and use it whenever we get to the clicking stage. It is a shame that they stopped making these.

We employ a system 'down under' where any potential records must be measured by a committee of three (which includes our National Scorer) and their results aggregated. We consider that to be a 'fair go' and the best way to do it. Interestingly, it is my experience that those who criticize the...

Well, it sounds like I bought that Roger Van Ahrens tuner just in time then, eh?

Silly question maybe, but did you check with them to see that they have received it as yet?

I have had a B&M measure since the late 1970's, and yes, they are very accurate. As for being slow because of the transfer of the powder to a funnel into the case...so what, that's no different to using a Chargemaster. I use a precision custom built powder thrower most of the time, but if I...

I have yet to have a 'bad' batch of N 133 - I just open it, tune it and use it. Let's not make life too complicated. Most problems occur between the front of the bench and the target. Brendan Atkinson

I had heard that the carbon fiber prototypes actually weighed a bit more than the 'normal' LCS. This is unconfirmed of course, but any more weight in a scope is more weight that has to come off the barrel. There would be no other place that I could remove any off my rig.

Right on, mate. N133 does not throw well, and anyone who has a powder thrower that claims one tenth accuracy with this stuff ......well, I'd like to see it. I either use the Chargemaster or weigh each charge with N133 - it's not worth the risk.

I read and re-read this book aropund 1975, and then ordered a Shilen DGA .222 LV - I have read it again a few times over the years and a lot of what Page says is still very relevant. We never stop learning. Brendan Atkinson

You mean that powder that is manufactured in Australia, but they won't sell any of it here to Aussie shooters?

Well done George - good shooting mate. Brendan Atkinson in South Australia

Bought mine new in 1978, and apart from some trigger lightening and free floating from one inch in front of the action, it is stock standard. Still shoots like stink after all these years - God knows how many rounds through it. Brendan Atkinson in South Australia
