Not all primers are correctly seated in casings. How does one load a deformed one into an unmodified casing? The only other option is to burn the primers - carefully. Primers in a fire have the ability to penetrate thin layers of aluminum foil. A steel can (such as a 10 or 12 ounce canned...

This is a topic which brings about a lot of discussion on how to do it. For the record, the following methods DO NOT WORK: Soaking the primer in oil, and; Soaking the primer in water. Chemical neutralization of the priming compound is the only reliable way to neutralize a primer. From the...

If you can wait for an answer.... I know Middleton Tompkins and Creighton were friends. Seem to recall that Mid said he had fired BR matches on occasion (and won a few), not sure if Creighton did. Will try to remember to ask Mid in early February when I see him next. Most likely, Winchester...

Ben Avery has ranges for: Archery; Benchrest; Pistol; Silhouette; Highpower (out to 1000 yards); Shotgun. Just finished shooting in a 3 day long Palma match on the 1000 yard range. (Palma course of fire = sighters, plus 15 shots for score at 800, 900, and 1000 yards.) Didn't do well, but had...

Al, In the post I viewed, the caliber was not listed, but load data was. Note the original post was edited to add the cartridge AFTER I asked. Worker, Nice group!

Caliber?

All, Found this on the Accurate Powders website ( www.accuratepowder.com/ )

Barrel erosion. Think about it - powder burns at over 5000 F, despite the burn lasting for .8 microseconds (best guess) or so. As the gas expands, temperature drops. Still, the first 3 inches of the barrel gets hit by a wall of hot, reactive gas. Carbide and nitride gasses are the worst at...

From https://www.leupold.com/scopes/rifle-scopes/competition-series-45x45mm They make two models. One is 2" long, the other is 4" long. The 2" version shows as not being available for sale. DISCLAIMER: I do not work for or obtain support from Leupold.

Top stock is wood, not fiberglass. It is similar to that found on an 40x .22 rifle, though the bottom of the stock appears different (not inletted for the drop-plate magazine box.) The long oval in the foreend is for an older style handstop setup (see...

Plusses: Overbuilt. Originally built for .50 BMG shooting (SEAL Team contract). One remark often made about these units is the can be used to drive nails - Leupold may actually have done so in an advertising campaign; Large elevation range. Lots of room to get rifle zeroed, leaves windage...

American Rifleman did an article on loading this round in 2015. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/5/15/handloading-the-65x54-mm-mannlicher-schoenauer/ Hope this helps.

Bill, In no order: Unwaxed cardboard; Fabric. Either cotton or cotton/polyester; Thin foam sheeting. Asa

Experience from other shooting sports says that Corplast is the last material you want for competitive shooting sports. While it's light and durable, the "waterproof" part means many water-based glues do not adhere to it. Additionally, after long term use, the center bows as the plastic...

While there are dedicated F-Class matches, most events are fired alongside NRA Prone Matches. Courses of fire are typically identical to those fired by prone shooters. A list of upcoming NRA Highpower matches can be found at https://www.ssusa.org/coming-events/. Hope this helps.

Your questions can be answered (in writing) by looking at the NRA Highpower rulebook at http://rulebooks.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/RuleBooks/HPR/hpr-book.pdf . NOTE: While there is a separate section for F-Class in the rulebook, parts of the ENTIRE rulebook still apply to F-Class. Best...

Borescope might work better. Much smaller, so you can get closer to the burr.

Al, Back in the 1950s, the US Navy had piles of surplus material, and a serious lack of funds for things like rebar. For at least one project in San Diego, surplus 1903 rifles (barreled actions) were used to provide support for the foundations. Most of the structures were still standing as of...

Or, a thin metal liner was wrapped in leather strips. Apparently, rate of fire was a real problem with guns built in this manner.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather_cannon Actually, the better 18th and 19th century cannon were made of cast bronze. Sometimes the "bore" started as a...
