Saw some comments on another post about U.S. economy and didn't want to hijack that post with political comments. In 1966, I was three years into a blue-collar career as a Linotype operator breathing molten lead fumes at the local newspaper. That year, my income hit $8,000. I was married, one...

I wish I had an equitable solution to this conundrum -- but I don't. I like Berger's products, I like the attitude that Eric, as new president of the company, has spearheaded new pricing and availability to "support short-range BR" and, as an end user, I'm happy to see any possible price...

Kudos to you, Eric. Congrats on the new position at the helm of the company and many thanks for your efforts. The software package will go a long ways toward standardizing the game, but will be very difficult to hone to a level that will make it acceptable at all venues. I think it is quite...

Thank you. Those are the only two letters that made sense, but nice to be sure.

Your comment is correct, Boyd. This poster is talking about score shooting, mostly with 30BR. Is N133 still the go-to powder for 6PPC even with the advent of 8208XBR and LT-32? Probably most "groupers" still have lots of it around and it is a tough act to follow.

Not sure if 6BR is the only caliber you will be handloading, Michael, but I have a couple of thoughts. In my (hopefully humble) opinion, Wilson dies are a throwback to a bygone era. When I first noticed this thing called "point blank benchrest", in the sixties, it was a much different world...

Happy Birthday, "birthday buddy" ... hope you and Miss Joanne have a great time in Paradise.

Just bought my first Remington 540XR and would like some assistance determining the date of manufacture. I've been to the two common sites that list the codes for month and year of manufacture, but am still uncertain of which of the letters on this barrel are the key ones. Any help is...

Ron, I sent a plaque order by email. Please let me know if you don't see it in a while. Reed

Model 581 http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Remington-33454/Rifles-37895/581-39541.htm This link to Numrich Arms shows an exploded view of the action. The bolt stop is item No. 8 which appears to be a machined pin and coil spring assembly mounted in the trigger group, as mentioned...

Good news, Ron. Glad to hear you're alive and well. I'll be sending a new email today. ReedG

Does anybody have any info on Ron Hoehn? My emails are coming back and the phone messages are not returned. I'm mostly concerned about his welfare but wonder if he is on vacation or worse. ReedG

Thank you, Jim, Rick and Bart. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a note. Just for the record, I was shooting over Graham wind flags (a couple of 'em with holes that shouldn't be there!)! Jim, it's always great to shoot with you and Cindy and the whole CFSC gang. Greatest bunch of...

Congrats to Randy ... great season for a great guy ...

Wilbur, the attached is my screenshot. It did start back when you were having the problems with hackers or what-not. I am using Firefox 29.0.1 and the problem has nothing to do with the [CTRL]- or [CTRL]+ screen sizing. I also have Internet Explorer available and it does not have the clipping...

Ah, the future. This is fascinating and definitely the new way. The process has no waste, not like taking a block of steel and milling, turning it into shape. This process "creates" the piece in its final shape. I'm curious about the types of metal it can produce. They refer to a couple...

Lots of good comments, most of which I agree with. My intent with a Factory class is not to develop a class for someone to shoot in for years, but rather a developmental class where shooters will whet their appetite to move up. No problem with staying in a Factory class, but most will want to...

Hi PeterW ... are you back from the sunny southland? And doing well, I presume. I only have my own experiences to rely on. No. 1, if someone wants to cheat, it's pretty difficult to eliminate it. In benchrest, there are fewer variables to deal with than, say, auto racing. Factory class shooting...

Had a "first-time" factory shooter at our match this weekend with his Remington tactical rig in .308. He learned a lot about the thump of 175-gr. bullets in a .308 by about the third paper he shot, but I'll say this: Not one of the "benchrest" shooters had any more fun than he did. I still don't...

I'd also like to add that I see post after post referring to what some "Hall of Fame" benchrest shooter does with his loads. Now that I've been around this thing for a decade, put on a few dozen events, and met several of these HoF types, here's my statement: Not one of the HoF shooters got...
