Do the cutters need to be sharp? This simply looks like two pieces of flat bar used to sheer off the lead. Either that or im missing something.

What were you all using for cutting cores?

Can you still buy J4 jackets or have they quit selling to the public?

Whose dies do you like? And what ogive bullet do you recommend for your 30br reamer specs?

Any Idea how the Canadian Bullet makers do it? Im assuming making their own cores out of Lead wire? Has anyone tried to get Charlie to sell and ship to a licensed exporter?

That might be an option but am not sure how hard the cores would be to get shipped accross the border. I know the jackets have to come through an exporter/importer.

For you guys that make your own bullets where do you source the lead wire? Also for say 30cal bullets what diameter wire do you use and is there a certain type to look for like a certain % of antimony? Also who is all out there still making good quality dies? Thanks

I use a weaver t36 on my 40x for 50 and 100yd matches. Actually i would step up to a 45x Sightron if the budget currently allowed.

What about stacking some round hay bales outside the window? Im thinking 2 rows stacked 2 high in each side.

Have you tried Lucas bore guides?

Anyone have any advice or tips on getting your front rest lined up with the target as well as getting the rear bag lined up with the front rest? I seem to have to always move the rest around after i get the rifle set in it as i never seem to be lined up where i want to be. Thanks

21st century hydro seater? Is a gimmick or is it useful ? Is if worth the cash over other arbor presses? Thanks

Well i picked up 1000 fed 205m to try.

I'm in no panic. I hope Rod gets his top approved for benchrest or develops one legal for benchrest.

I should of mentioned that all my shooting is for score not group although that shouldnt make much difference . How do you get everything lined up to the target? I seem to still have issues with that until i get behind the rifle and looking through the scope.

Which do you guys like better? I like the fact that the mini top will rotate until locked down which should making setup quicker and easier . It would be used for both centerfire and rim fire bench rest . What is your opinions ? Thanks

What primers do you all like for the 30BR? Thanks

Ive got two Grahm flags. I set one about 15 to 20 feet from the bench then the next one mid way and there is always multiple flags the rest of the way out.

We are given lots of time generally . One range is 20 minutes for 20 score shots the other is 30min for 25 score shots. But i have used every last second a time or two when the wind wouldnt keep swapping around.

What I have been doing is when i sit down at my bench i watch to see what the most percistant wind is then i have been dialing that in as my zero then i try to pick atleast one more condition, usually the complete opposite and see what my hold off is for that. I may be going about it totally...
