For International shipping USPS and those flat rate boxes are absolutely fantastic...........just seems a lot of companies don't/won't use them for International shipping. Best service I ever got was when Bald Eagle sent me a rear bag ordered on Monday (US time) recieved in NZ on Thursday (which...

Joe pm sent .. How many is a hoarde of orders, I would take two maybe more ...Ian

Defiantly an interesting rule, but if so many are attaining the highest score possible how long will it be before the first 10 or so top places are setting world records. Then who would be the record holder? Would it be the tenth place getter who fired his last record breaking shot after...

Hi Joe any chance of posting a photo of the ones you made?........Ian

Gabe Possum Hollow make a trimmer like that, you can find it here https://www.possumhollowproducts.com/KWICK_CASE_TRIMMERS.html .......Ian

Al your post is very informative, I assume the "lead-line-sweet-spot" varies for each die and it's a matter of finding that spot. If you had two dies that are the same caliber and ogive would that sweet spot be the same for each die or would it be different for each die?..........Ian

Wilbur thanks I was able to find the very useful information that was buried in this thread........post 61 became post 11........Ian

I whole heartedly agree with the above........doesn't seem to matter where in the world you are some Benchrest shooters just don't help at all when it comes to running a match.........Ian

Go over to Saubier.com as this cartridge has been discussed a bit over there.......it's a neat looking cartridge, and performs great.......Ian

I think the round hanging up as it feeds into the chamber causing you to pull the bolt back slightly is caused by the ejector being a wee bit long and the rim of the case is catching on the ejector. I had this problem with my Bat B..........Ian

Butch I would like to see a thread addressing these issues also, especially by some with experience in chambering and some qualified engineers. One other thing I would like to see discussed is can someone with little to no engineering/lathe experience produce the same results as a qualified...

The machine dealer I bought my lathe from told me about several lathes that had had the cabinet filled with concrete, said the mass improved the performance of all the lathes........just make sure it's in the right place before filling the cabinet, especially on some of the bigger lathes. Lee...

Since I shoot short range BR I'm not sure what type of presses are used by the competitors loading for FTR, so while the Hood press may work I would talk to people shooting and loading for FTR and find out what works and what doesn't that way you can buy equipment suitable for loading for FTR...

So if this is the response from the shooters about registering the matches with IBS or NBRSA, how would changing anything in IBS or NBRSA convince those shooters to register the matches?? Why do they NOT want to shoot in registered matches?? Ian

Lol did this a few times until I never got the books back..........now I just keep a spare and sell them one......Ian

Mike I've never seen a bolt action BR shooter eject cases further than the top of the bench. I shoot rimfire BR and a few years ago used a BSA Martini MkII, these rifles eject cases quite well and boy did I get a few comments when I let my cases get away from the top of the bench. I learnt that...

Mike I know the economy sucks but not everyone is living from payday to payday and I don't think IBS or NBRSA can fix that.......cost is a factor but as a couple of people, LHSmith and Mike Bryant pointed out you don't need the latest and greatest to start shooting Benchrest. I still don't see...

Mike you have pointed out that you used to be a member of IBS and you have mentioned about the location and format of the meeting.........while your club has a waiting list to join (which I can understand due to shooters wanting somewhere to shoot and clubs limiting membership) IBS and NBRSA...

Jim you might be irish but I'm pretty sure you can read ;) (couldn't resist that) it means Participate Competitive Benchrest Shooting Level ( PCBSL ) it's what R Rains referred to in post #102.......Ian

These answers are perplexing........since the idea and start of this thread is to grow "IBS" how do you propose to do this as the way I read your posts is a reason NOT to join any association or shoot any registered matches.........what would it take for you both to join IBS and attend...
