I do about the same as Lee. I use a nylon bristle brush one caliber larger than the case and push it in, rotate it and pull it out and repeat. There are lots of ways to skin cats in this here reloading "hobby" but I have a belief that the coating of "soot" or carbon or whatever it is that's left...

"Reciprocity" is an interesting word. It indicates that two or more parties have agreed to invite/allow/tolerate each other. Having come into benchrest shooting with no prior affiliations, our club decided on the IBS format because of not needing backers. The rules from IBS were that NBRSA...

Good shooting, Wayne. Those little points do make a difference ...

I emailed them about RF interference and proximity to other shooters and picking up their shots. There answer was within an hour! Thank you for the question. It is subject to FCC part 15 regulations, much like your cell phone and should not cause any interference. The radar itself is only...

http://www.mylabradar.com/ This is from the "Bulletin" page on Accurate Shooter site. A very interesting development. I have inquired of them if the RF interference from the device will affect cellphones and/or FM radios. The doppler radio used during the Cold War wreaked havoc on the amateur...

Tom, I think the prolonged exposure to body heat from an overnight session like you describe may have some "annealing" effect on the brass ...

1. Norma brass in a 6 PPC will not survive anywhere near the abuse that Lapua will. Had several separate at the expansion ring in four firings of loads that I shoot all year in Lapua brass. 2. I got some PPC brass with a used rig I bought and it had a "few" loadings on it. Good quality Lapua...

Wilbur, I don't know enough about annealing to write an interesting postcard, but what I do know came from Ken Light's instructions and talking to him on the phone. His design may have been the first, I'm not sure, but his design makes sense to me and for my purposes it works. The process of...

Haven't seen you so "talkative" in a long time, Wilbur. Hope that's a good sign. I can't qualify as "win once in a while" as I'm usually middle to upper-middle of the pack in IBS, though I have got lucky at a few egg shoots. The lack of winning is due to my old eyes and slow brain as I think my...

Good story on Eric Stecker's "new" F-Class rig ... http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2014/02/stecker-succeeds-at-swn-with-radical-benchrest-type-f-tr-rig/

Been there, done that, Justin. Peace be with you. My advice: go to the pet shelter and find one that needs a home to love it -- you'll both be better off for it.

I use a K&M tool, held in my hand, and the caseholder chucked in my mini lathe. If more than .005" needs to be cut, I prefer two passes, I have never had to remove as much as the OP talks about. I have never used water. I turn at very low speeds, probably no more than 200 rpm, holding the K&M...

Any given team on any given Sunday is always the mantra, but Peyton is wrong: their performance was "embarrassing" -- be honest. No doubt he is a great quarterback, will go into the Hall of Fame with big numbers and great volumes of rhetoric from the mumble-bumble talking heads, but a previous...

Told my wife the same thing. Those two are unAmerican and having them feigning some kind of support for our troops is an insult to American dignity.

Two are the same, 24,000 psi ... here's a helpful link: http://www.lasc.us/SAAMIMaxPressure.htm

The original question simply asked if having the inside of the case clean made a difference in accuracy. What the heck needs to be defined? Just about impossible to quantify any difference in performance between clean or uncleaned interiors. Keep in mind, barring any cleaning media, etc. being...

Is there any option to archive this site's forum files as searchable database and start the forum over with new software?

Wilbur, I sure do appreciate your patience with whatever is going on with the forum software. I can only assume something got in that is difficult to get out. Thanks for your efforts ...

Scientists are an interesting lot. As many are pro-global warming as are anti. They don't know. Some of them think they're related to monkeys! Here's my take. Many thousands or millions of years ago, depending on which "scientific" timetable you use, most of the northern latitudes, including...

I believe that if IBS requires IBS membership just to participate in an IBS-sanctioned match ii is a terrible mistake. No problem if a non-member shooter doesn't qualify for records, etc., but I believe any shooter should be allowed to participate at the match/tournament/contest. At our range...
