    LabRadar Black Friday Deal Only $499.95

    If you buy one from Midway, I recommend this USB rechargeable power source: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/143224/streamlight-rechargeable-usb-power-unit-epu-5200-lithium-5-volt-5200-mah A tad more expensive than some of those out there. But in my experience, it holds charge longer than...

    Indicating Rifle Barrels

    I initially indicate with a Deltronic pin in each end. That gets me real close. Then I'll zero on every groove. More often than not, the Deltronic indication is within a ten-thousandth or two. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    Jack Neary wins Ted Manning Challenge

    I'm sure gusts were 50 mph Steve. We had wind recorded over 50 in Northern Virginia on Sunday (and we're not in the mountains like Roanoke). Sounds like great weekend. Sorry I couldn't make it, but I'll be there next spring. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    Ken - thanks for bringing the machine back. Are you taking pre-orders? I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to get in line for one. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    Lederer Barrels

    There's only one problem with Lederer barrels. Every time I talk to Michael Turner, I order another ($$$). I have two on the shelf and three more on the way. From the results they post, it's well worth the outlay. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    Velocity question

    There's nothing wrong with that. All I'm saying is I don't initially tune with a chronograph. I let the paper show me what the gun wants. Now that I have a Lab Radar, I'll pay more attention to ES & SD. But I doubt I'll constantly chase them. Last year I chrono'd one of my most consistent...

    Which do you prefer and why...

    So true....and I've been there on more than one occasion in 100 yard VFS. Shoot a 0.400" in group, follow it with a 0.150", and you're back in the running. But both disciplines are hard and each have their own nuances. I really couldn't pick a favorites between the two. I just wish there...

    Velocity question

    Yep. I'd rather have 20 fps ES on top of a node than 5 fps mid-deflection. Shinny - as you know, I took the plunge and bought a Lab Radar after we spoke. Tried it last weekend and am impressed. I'll tune and find nodes on paper....but this Lab Radar definitely helps you stay in-tune as...

    Which do you prefer and why...

    When I got back into benchrest, all I wanted to do is shoot groups. Had no interest in score whatsoever. But after competing in IBS VFS, I'm hooked. So I guess I couldn't really pick one. I like them both. One thing I will say about score, which has already been mentioned.....moving the gun...

    Scopes

    Kahles website only shows an MOA reticle for the 10x50. Do they offer it in fine crosshair? If not, maybe that's why you're not seeing them much in short-range BR. That plus wasn't the suggested retail $2,800? For that, I'd buy a March or two IORs. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    Lederer Barrels

    Funny you should write this tonight Michael. I just finished chambering the 13.5 HV Lederer you got me. Looking forward to breaking it in on Saturday. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    6MM Classic brass

    Slick looking round Michael. 6.8 rims are only ~0.020" smaller than PPCs. I assume a PPC bolt would extract them? -Lee www.singleactions.com

    6MM Classic brass

    Butch - it would be a 6.8 necked to 6mm. As Michael noted, it'd resemble a 222 proportionally, just in 6. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    6MM Classic brass

    Butch - thanks for the photos. I must admit, I'm stumped on that one. It probably does date to the late 80's and/or early 90's during the Sako shortage. But who punched them is beyond me. ___________________________________ Michael - interesting point about the 6.8 SPC. Lapua and Norma...

    6MM Classic brass

    OK, sounds like a different 6mm Classic. Here's the one I was referring to: Thanks for clarifying. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    6MM Classic brass

    Butch - does it look like a necked down .30 Herrett? If so, it's probably one of Todd Kindler's wildcats. He formed a bunch of cartridges off the Herrett by necking them down. There were also minor changes to the shoulder. -Lee www.singleactions.com

    Newbie question on scope

    For under $500, the T-36 is hard to beat. For variable, same price range, take a look at the Weaver V-Series 6 x 24 (42mm). I've had one on a .50 BMG bolt gun for 9 years now. I keep waiting for it to shift, but it just won't give. -Lee www.singleactions.com
