Definitely Lot 6. I'm shooting 6 now and haven't seen any difference between it and earlier lots of LT-32. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Thanks Michael. I must not have had enough coffee in me when posting the morning. I just re-tested the .30 Stingray against a .30 BR on capacity. The Stingray is 0.2 - 0.3 grs less on volume (not sure where I pulled 3/4 grs from). H4198 or LT-30 should work fine. A little story around my...

This is very helpful Michael. I'm just starting to work with my .30 Stingray for score (basically a 40 degree .30 Major, or a .30 Grinch with the shoulder moved forward 0.035"). Anyways, it comes within 3/4 grains of a .30 BR. I'll use your data, backing off a full grain for both low and top...

I noticed that too Jerry. May be price related.....the IORs and fixed 42X Nightforces are hundreds less. And from what I'm told they're every bit as good. That said, I've enjoyed my 40X March. It's clear, tracks beautifully, and most importantly holds POA (at least so far). -Lee...

HiWall - I'm using Viper's right now because I still have a bottle. Never had chatter problems with it. But truth be told, under the borescope it doesn't seem to provide any better finish than used 30-W (which has always given us very nice chambers). -Lee www.singleactions.com

Gary - for chambering, I like Viper's Venom. For general machining, our go-to is used 30-W motor oil (underscore the word "used"). Many may scoff at this, but it cuts as good as all the others we've tried. And like you, we've tried most of them. -Lee www.singleactions.com

The rifle Mac used to shoot the 0.009 was on a McMillan action. But the stock was one of Gale's early fibreglass models. Scope was a Siebert converted Leupold (12x bumped to 24x). Pat made the barrel, chambering it in 222. The reported load was 23.5 of BL-C over prototype BR-4 primers...

Neat rig. Want to tell us more about it? -Lee www.singleactions.com

Michael - my hat is off to you for building this. It's just like your BR action....you could've bought a Panda or Stiller, but instead made your own. In doing so, you controlled every aspect of the receiver and got some features not available off the shelf. The next time we talk, I want to...

Check your inbox. Hope to talk to you soon. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Did you trim at all before fire-forming? If so, that'll make it hard to keep final length above 1.490". -Lee www.singleactions.com

Tim - I agree completely with respect to tuning to the conditions. Indoor vs. outdoor is a big shift, and not just on wind. I was just saying if he can tune it to always shoot sub-1's indoors, the bullets and barrel can't be all that bad. -Lee www.singleactions.com

If it shoots sub-1's all day long inside, there's nothing wrong with the barrel or bullet. If either were bad, you wouldn't get those results....which are unbelievable. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Doug - my Shilen 6 PPCs do the same thing. One shot and I'm back to the old POI. -Lee www.singleactions.com

That's what Gerry is referring to. It is a dual curvature bullet. Take a Bart's 6mm Ultra for instance. They're a 9 ogive above the shank that blends to 6.5 at the tip. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Looks like the point blank crowd has been using all the wrong glass :D -Lee www.singleactions.com

Fantastic piece of history Glenn. Many thanks for conveying John's information and photos of the rifle. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Early benchrest pioneer, Al Marciante. The photo was taken in his shop around 1946: -Lee www.singleactions.com

I was thinking the same thing. -Lee www.singleactions.com
