Richard, the rail I shot last weekend was chambered exactly like I described, it was so straight way up in the bore it was surprising. I could run the Grizzly rod 4 inches past the throat at 90 degree intervals and it wouldn't hardly wiggle the Interapid test indicator. The muzzle had about a...

Thanks Wilbur, about what I was thinking.

When I chamber I mount the barrel in the headstock between two spiders, pick out a Deltronic pin that fits the bore at the muzzle snug and one at the breech snug, then dial in on the pin at the muzzle and the breech. After adjusting the runout down to a thou or two I stop, pull out pin in the...

Was looking at this weekends forecast for St Louis and it looks like it should be 75 to 80 with very high humidity. For the guys that shoot in these conditions how much 133 would be considered a good starting load? If other powders work also in these conditions, what is it and how much? Thanks!!

Dave It's always a good match when a true nice guy and gentleman like Dave wins an Agg.!! As far as Todd is concerned I think he could shoot half inch groups in a Hurricane at 200 yards, he is truly amazing. Not sure if he or Mike Conry are our best wind shooters, Todd's right there!!

IDK how much staightness effects accuracy but it does effect the way I chamber them. The really crooked ones get chambered with the Gritters method and the straight one's get the old school BR method, both methods produce barrels that shoot to their potential. Potential is what's discovered...

The 6 ppc barrels that were duds get converted into 6 Grendal barrels for AR's. I figure they deserve it, the good ones get used for spacers and gauges.

It's kind of funny how you can take a perfectly good 22 barrel, run a 22-250 reamer in it and voila the throat goes to hell in 300 rounds or so or about the time load development is shook out. Have a 22-250 AI in the shop now with 250 rounds through it and the throat is gone for about an inch...

Congratulations, Jackie!!

Michael is the 30-30 whisperer. Listened to some old timers at a match this weekend talk about the a$$ kicking he passed out with his 30-30 at several short range BR matches several years ago. I've seen the groups, very impressive!!

Thanks for posting Jackie, how long is the barrel on your rifle?

Can't speak for the 300yd crowd but many short range guys are working on various setups involving 12 twist barrels, 80 grain bullets and Grendel cases. Most of these guys think a BRA holds too much powder to be a consistent performer with lighter bullets. It seems that Bart's Dominators work...

He's occasionally good for something!

Rick, every competitive shooter I know will tell you they can feel variations in the bore of a rifle they're cleaning with a rod and a patch. I know I can! I can also see variations in the lands with a bore scope on many barrels I own and I'm not superman. Most of these barrels shoot fine...

Nice job Jackie!! Did you shoot your 6 with the 80 gn bullets?

Think you might find that if you take a sized case and measure the neck with a 1" mike, not a caliper, then seat a bullet in the case and measure it again, then subtract your first dimension from the second you will have something accurate to discuss. Using a caliper to measure the inside of...

Both Larry White and Bart Sauter use quite a bit of LT30, I do too but mix it with 32. Larry and Bart have had quite a bit of success, Larry wouldn't comment on how much of it he uses except it's HOT, HOT, HOT. A guy at Norco asked Larry one day what he was shooting, Larry told him and told...

It's typical that Mike Bryant would post about the ranges that are close for the IP and try to help him in that way and not mention that he's one of the best BR gunsmiths in the country. He builds very competitive rifles for a bunch of folks!! CALL MIKE, he's one of the best BR smiths in the...

For what it's worth, a guy needs to be able to handle all wind situations. Matches aren't scheduled around the weather, they are scheduled for whatever happens. The best time to practice is when you can and learn how to do the best you can under all conditions. I often shoot at times on the...

The guys in my shop now refer to them as Limps!
