1. Learn how to tune a rifle 2. Learn your shooting technique/process 3. Learn how to focus. Added note = I'm not sure a person ever fully learns any of those steps. We should always be learning then adapting/applying

I've been searching the web for Lapua 6BR brass. All the places I have looked are back-ordered. Does anyone know of a site/place that has some in stock? Thanks in advance for any information. Stanley

Thanks Ronnie for posting and letting us know. Al - that is the first thing I think of when someone mentions the name Bill Leer. The second thing is his notebook of quotes. :) Stanley

One item that you might run into if you get specially made pilots. If you used an expander mandrel to expand your necks - you will find that the inside of the case necks are not parallel with the outside of the necks. They are slightly "funnel shaped" (Al Nyhus) I inside neck ream my cases...

I did/do exactly what you are talking about. I also was worried about the resized portion being different. Here is what I did: Fire all the cases - do not resize knock the primers out Clean - I use ultrasonic cleaner. You'll want the inside of the necks to be clean. Trim all to length Talk...

Just want to say a quick "Thank you" to all the people involved in both Casper and Colorado for holding this year's score nationals. I really enjoy the 2 gun format. Thank you to all those involved in getting the two gun going in the NBRSA. Congrats to all those shooting but special congrats...

Here is the procedure I use: Set shoulder back .005ish (off of chamber dimensions - not the virgin brass. Many times the virgin brass is already set back far enough) .025ish jam. .003+ neck tension. Medium/Stout load. You do not need a maximum load for fireforming. Apply a super thin coat...

Thank you for the info. Decided to go with a Rem Mod 7 in a .243. That rifle will be ready for next year. For the remainder of this season it will be the macho.

Thank you for the info on this thread. Going with a Rem MOD 7 in .243 for next season. One other (besides recoil) important detail to consider is setting the scope up correctly for their eyesight/relief. Found that one out the hard way even though others had warned me. Stanley

Thanks guys for all the good information and suggestions. We are going shooting(practicing) again this weekend and I have a .243 on loan - that way the girls can decide which caliber they would rather shoot - if the shot presents itself. Thanks again.

This has nothing to do with Benchrest - but would like your opinion/knowledge on this. My daughters (twin - 12 yr old) will be deer hunting with me this year. They seem pretty excited about shooting (.22 and 20 gauge for last 3 years) For the 2017 season, I want to buy them a rifle that I can...

I would like to have different pieces of metal engraved (bolts with serial numbers, turning pilots with sizes, etc). At the last match, a person told me just to go to a jeweller(sp) it would be a lot cheaper. As history shows, he is probably right once again. However, I like the idea of...

Great topic. Interesting read. One comment stuck out to me "VFS is what changed the numbers in Htr class, not custom actions." I don't know how true that is - I came into this adventure way after that was decided. But, it is my opinion that VFS is what is "saving" HTR class. The two gun...

Thanks for posting the results.

Thanks for the update Dave! I appreciate you taking the time to do this. How many shooters?

We'll see if this works. Attached is a picture of the range. 100 yds is very flat - regular poles will work. In the background (uphill) you will see the 200 yd berm. You will need long flag poles anywhere from 40ish yds to 160ish yds when shooting 200. Don't worry - wind is supposed to be...

Thanks Jerry. I will try that tonight and see if I can get more consistent results. Thanks for the reply Jackie. I always appreciate what you have to say. I do not know why the funnel occurs - but it happens when I expand from 6 to 30. If I stick my K&M pilots/mandrels in the case neck...

"I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock - with nail polish" :D 2 flat anvils. Miss you Al! My idear is that maybe I am not taking out all of the "funnel" when I inside neck ream? Cmaier - that is a good idea - thanks. I will try it this summer. I have a match coming up in 2 weeks and don't...

Jackie - I shoot BIB bullets and the pressure ring on the 112-7 measured .3086 on my micrometer. Not sure what his 118-10 measures, I think it is pretty closer to that. Boyd - I use a mini-lathe with a case holder that your wrote about (forgot the name) - has a little rubber gasket that goes...

There is a good thread going on now "neck turning of cases" and this question pertains to that thread, but I did not want to hijack. I come from the J.M. school of case making :cool: (Al Nyhus, Randy Robinett, Mike Bigelow), so I feel my case prep procedure is pretty sound. However, I have...
