I'd like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting our match this weekend. We had beautiful weather and it is always a pleasure to shoot with such fine folks. Watching the top level shooters patiently wait out the conditions would be a lesson to anyone starting or having shot this game...

BTT - hope everyone has a wonderful mother's day...I almost didn't! Mike

If you can find some black hills ammo loaded with 69gr sierras you may find your groups improving. I hand load for my savage .223 and different bullets like that 1:9 twist and others don't. Couldn't get 77gr BTHP nor 55gr varmint-types to shoot inside an inch, but the 69gr and 52gr BTHP...

My father and I have been trying to diagnose a problem of his for some time, and the front bag being packed too tight might just be part of the problem. I would also like to add to the conversation, though it is certainly not my idea originally, the idea of breaking a shot well and being able to...

Enjoyed the videos, Wally, and thanks for the second hand smoke filter. I got enough of that at the bowling alley! Do you plan on doing any barrel/chambering videos? Have you done any stocks on your mill? How did you find its capability? I am looking for a mill myself, and, like you, I am...

a three jaw chuck with no runout - where do I sign UP! Does he have any rifles that will shoot .25 all day long? I am in the market.

Sorry, Sambubba. Dick is correct. I should have been more specific - H4198 and a custom action. I have gone as high as 35.2gr of H4198 with my lilja and had no pressure signs in a BAT actioned rifle, and it shot very well. It just just as well with 0.5gr less powder so I stuck with that. My...

35gr in a case - drop it real slow and have some free bore if you only want to jam 0.010. Not all reamers are made the same :). Don't be afraid to go out a little further into the lands, too. Mike

I have one, also on a Harrell's press, and am very happy with the unit. No clicks, but I am able to dial in .0005 at a time to get just the right fit if needed, and the instructions that come with the unit are very thorough. Fit and finish are excellent. Mike

Great shooting Wayne, and congrats on your overall win. Excellent! Mike

Not too proud of it men, but I didn't realize that May 11th was mother's day when I made the schedule. I am working with Dick to get a new date, but the 11th of May will not have a match occurring at Bell City. I will be sure to keep you posted as things become more clear. Possible match in...

We have some shooters at our matches that shoot his action, and I believe Clark Shen, who at 83yrs young is still teaching us young folk how to shoot, won a whole lot of wood one year with Jimmy's action and gunsmithing. Clark is still using his actions today. Jimmy runs non-registered group...

My deepest condolences, Jack. I am sorry for your loss and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Mike

don't nobody mess with my PB&J...

when I was a freshman at Michigan state it was -16F actual with wind chill that was something in the range of -30 (and there WAS WIND always). They cancelled class on that day, but resumed the next day when it was only -10 or so with the wind chill. If you haven't ever been to MSU's campus it...

Thanks for all the hard work, Wilbur and others. We appreciate all that you do for and keeping this fine forum running. Mike

I have been there and had to do that! picked it up from the Euber bros and it works great. Not a whole lot of room off the right side of the bench when it comes to ejecting. Mike

Gabe, I had a similar issue when I started out and the recommendation to practice at home is what worked best for me. I set up on the dining room table and ran case after case to find the right stroke and made my own "Billy" towel to catch the brass. A cigar humidor with a flip top lid that...

As one of the youngest of this forum of elders I am familiar with the reference, too....wait. Sorry. AS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST OF THIS FORUM OF ELDERS I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE REFERENCE, TOO.:p Good luck with the spambots, Wilbur. I did have some vinyl around for a while, even a couple cassette...

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I couldn't have done what I did without the help of this board and a lot of youtube videos! I am looking forward to many years of learning more and opening my benchrest passion up to a whole new dimension. Dave, I don't know if she would cut it in true...
