I appreciate all the feedback and resources. Thank you! Mr. Nyhus has never steered me wrong over the million questions I have asked him so - I'm going curved. Thanks again for all the responses. Hope you packed another layer of that Missouri River mud on your mudbrick house - you're going to...

John and Wilbur have some good points. If you do decide to proceed - my suggestion would be to not resize the case. Reasons = 1. If the bushing or die does not resize all the neck then the neck will not be the same diameter all the way down to the shoulder. 2. You're not going to make...

Hello everyone. I am in the process of ordering pieces for a new hunting rifle. (please note: Hunting not Hunter) I have a specific question on which trigger design. I am set on the Calvin Elite - Timney trigger. I am deciding on the straight vs curved trigger. I have never shot the...

Ideas for "after" the tournament Coondog kid posted an idea about shooting group with a Hunter gun and it got my rusty gears turning. What about "games" after the tournament? These "games" could be done the night before day 1 or after the first day (assuming a 2 day match - second day people...

I think shooting group with a full blown Hunter rifle (including 6X scope) would be fun. However, I also think, I would be in the minority. Maybe this idea could be used as a money maker for the club hosting the traditional score Hunter match. Just an idea - after the Hunter match -...

Howard Cowher and crew hosted the NBRSA Ron Shultz Memorial/Kansas State 2 Gun Championship at the Mill Creek Rifle & Pistol Range in DeSoto KS this past weekend (Oct 6-7) Mike Bigelow (IA) shot an incredible 2 Gun Agg of 1000-54X. :cool: I believe Mike won every yardage. His scores were...

Thanks for posting the results. Congrats Chad and other top finishers!!!!!!!! Pretty cool to see many familiar faces in the picture. Stanley

Holy Moly. That is incredible. Congrats Stanley

At the NBRSA Score Nationals I was walking back to my loading area and noticed that a gentleman had a fan type device in his chamber. Recently, I did a quick internet search and came up with 2 different ones = Barrelcool ($37) and Chamber Chiller ($30-$50). Any recommendations or other...

;) Miss you Al. Thanks for those kind words. It was a very fun shoot with all the great people from many different states. Congrats to all the different winners in various yardages and Grands. For lack of a better word, I am still in disbelief that I get to add my name to that historic...

Thanks Ronnie, Mary, Mike, Randy, and the rest of the crew for all your work this past week and the months of planning it took to put on a shoot like you guys did. It was much appreciated. The comradery among all the shooters was incredibly enjoyable. Thank you. Stanley

Shooting in damp, cool weather with no mirage and dead calm conditions. (6 AM) Just from experience - sometimes that is worst time to shoot. Calm conditions is when the "gremlins" come out. However, if it is working for you, keep doing it. What is the significance of using a 175 grain bullet...

Jayhawker, I like ladder tests and do them quite often as a starting point for load development. What you are looking for are multiple (3-4) shot groupings like your 1,2 or 7,8 or 9,10. Maybe, part of the reason you are only seeing two shot groupings is you are going up by .3 grains...

I have a friend (I know...crazy) in South Dakota (well...that explains it) that believes in the Percent Theory. His Percent Theory states that you are allowed a certain % error and still be accurate/precise. The more accurate/precise you need, the smaller the % error that is allowed. Where...

Taking a stab in the dark here. The school I work at has a Alfa .32 starter pistol. Since most of the track meets are now electronically timed - there is no need for the black powder smoke effect. I was wondering if anyone has heard of, or makes, a conversion that could be inserted into the...

Hey Russ. How's it going? I think the definition of neck tension is = Force holding a bullet in the case due to the bullet's pressure ring stretching the case neck. But, is there a set standard way of measuring neck tension? Not sure. The way I was taught is to measure a loaded round over...

The title of this thread is pretty important "The Great Score Target and Bullet Size Controversy". Group matches do not have these same discussions because the diameter of the bullet is taken out of the equation when scoring a target. A .200" group is a .200" group regardless of the...

I have a LV 30BR. My 3 bench rifles (HV, LV, Hunter) all have the same stuff; Bat 3 Lug, Kelbly stocks, same height of rings, etc. I tried keeping everything the same so the feel and processes of each rifle would transfer over to the other rifles. I had a LV ppc before I built the LV 30. I...

Zombiekiller, I've been to matches before that had the setup you are explaining. The system worked well but it took two people to hang the targets. One hand to open the clip, one hand to hold the "old" targets from falling out, one hand to insert the "new" target, and another hand to hold the...
