    Dave Halblom would be a good contact. Flying Fish Fundamentals or 515-556-5833. He is at the Hunter Nationals right now, so he might not answer his phone until Sat. Stanley

    Growing the IBS

    I believe the Factory class would help promote Benchrest and get more people involved. However, after co-running the Postal for 5 years (which has 4 clases - VFS, 6X, MF, F) I do not think the IBS or NBRSA should adopt a Factory Class. As stated above, rule enforement would be a nightmare and...

    The Rise of the Varmint Hunter Class

    Greg, thank you for setting me straight, I had poor wording. IF IBS does get rid of case capacity, I would still build toward the 45 grains of water to meet the NBRSA rules - or vise-versa. I amended my post so I don't cause confusion. Thanks again. Stanley

    The Rise of the Varmint Hunter Class

    I also agree that the case capacity should be dropped. It just makes sense. "For those shooting a VfS gun in 30BR, building a HBR gun with the same reamer, dies, etc. makes a lot of economic sense and simplifies shooting both guns if a Two Gun is being contested. I favor dropping the case...

    Humidity.......The rest of the story

    "However, once you get a handle on the trends and get repeatable results, you will be able to use them anywhere." which, I believe, will lead you to be able to predict where the powder measure or tuner needs to be before you fire a group. Stanley

    can't see the blue

    Ammashoota, I use a KenLight annealer which makes things very simple once set up. I also use two Tempilaqs. 475 (which is close to the bottom of the heat needed to relieve stress) and 850 (the point of no return). I put both on the same case neck. As long as the 475 melts and the 850...

    Shadetree top and Farley travel

    Ed, I own 2 shadetree tops (1 for a 3" forend and 1 for the hunter gun). This past weekend, I shared a bench with a gentleman who had a Farley. Instead of changing rests, we just used his. I do believe he had a little more travel in the Farley than I do in the Shadetree at 100. However, the...

    Favorite movies?

    "I'm not sure I could sit thru 4hr 20mins of chinese and subtitles regardless of how good it was" Theatrical version is a little over 2 hours. But yes, you do have to read. Caddyshack and Animal House have also got to be up there - especially after you watch the "behind the scenes making" of...

    Sorting your bullets by ogive lehgth

    I have thought about doing somethign similiar to what Mr. Nyhus and Mr. Wass are talking about. I wanted to make my own "female" seating stem that exactly mimicked the bullet (male) 10 or 7 ogive. I was going to make the mouth of the stem the same diameter as lands. In my mind (which is...

    30x44 clicking

    I have a 30x44. The brass used is Winchester Savage 300. I've developed a slight click at the top of extraction. I don't really want to make new brass - yet I will if I have to. Is there a small base die that I could use with this brass to get through the season (8-9 matches)? Thanks in...

    offset scope rings

    I've heard of these advertised, but have never seen or used them in person. Question - are they both (front/rear) offset the same distance? Reason for asking - if they are both offset the same distance does a normal scope still have enough horizontal play in the crosshairs to get to the X?

    The why of seating depth ?

    Maybe I missed it in the reading, but another good way of finding your 0.000 mark is with the Sinclair tool designed by Jon Leu when he was at Sinclair. http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=35491/Product/Sinclair-Bullet-Seating-Depth-Tool I made my own "plug" out of Delron to fit tighter. I...
