    Break-in new barrels with tungsten disulfide?

    If you're committed to shooting with moly (or danzac, or Hbn) you can pre-condition the barrel with a patch or two of your favorite coating as Larry mentioned. I have also used a wet patch of Kroil Penephite (colloidal graphite in Kroil penetrating oil) for that same purpose.

    Equipping my new Daniel Defense M4 Carbine for optimized accuracy

    It is always good to see someone interested in squeaking the most accuracy they can out of a gun. Unfortunately, talking to this crowd about optimizing an AR-15 is like going to a NASCAR race and trying to get the crew chiefs to help you make a 62 Corvair competitive... on top of that, you're...

    Amazing year...still in shock!

    Congrats... I watched you shoot those last groups of the HV200 and knew you had it when you fired that last shot. Truly an amazing performance when we were all struggling with those conditions that would pull a bullet out of a group for no apparent reason... a true pleasure to watch a master at...

    New to sport...HELP

    The trouble with shooting accurate rifles for fun and relaxation is that it becomes an obsession! Plenty of good advise here, but if you've got the bug already I'd suggest to step it up a notch and start with a decent front rest (solid, windage adjustable and supports the 3" wide forearm) and...

    Is benchrest dying?

    Absolutely Not!! It is easy to look at the trends of the past decade and see falling membership and participation, but those numbers are a small part of the story. The aging of our membership and the global economic slump have been major contributors to those trends, but I know for a fact that...

    Has Anybody Built, or Seen, a Sporter Based On The New Provisional Rule?

    Not tricked out in any unusual way (yet), but I've got a new .222 in the works for my Sporter experiment for this season. Thought is that the PPC dominated the deuce because it was good, and because a 6mm was required. Without the 6 requirement I decided to see how competitive the old cartridge...

    BAT 222 Heading For First Match

    Nice to see a deuce headed for the range. Mine is still under construction. Watch the match reports for a bunch more of them coming out this summer... there is a group of us going old-style to see if a deuce built to all our modern standards is up to the task. This is courtesy of the new NBRSA...

    Having your rear bag move is really hard on tracking.

    I use the water trick (or spit in a pinch) to make the feet and bags stick. Best thing I've found for the stock is Turtle Wax -- smear on a thin coat, let it turn pasty-white and buff, just like your car. Wax-on-Wax-off and it rides bags better than any tape I've tried. Between yardages is...

    Humidity, Temp, Air Density, specific question

    I've pondered that question a lot and one answer that seemed to fit is that the air density factors as related to load and barrel tuning are somehow correlated to the concept that a bullet and burning powder gasses are a piston in an open-ended cylinder. It must push the contents of that...

    Bullet Seating

    ekp, The exercises that you are being lead through are exactly the ones I was in the process of discovering about 7-8 years ago... that was how I found competitive short-range group shooting, and I've been hooked every since. Many barrels and thousands of rounds later, I'm still learning little...

    Keep Larry Scharnhorst in your prayers

    Larry, It is a sad day when we hear of events like this. If there is anything Audrey or I can do, please let us know. You're in our prayers. Rod and Audrey

    Cleaning primer pockets

    At one of his seminars, Jack Neary told of some blind testing that convinced him that cleaning the pockets did make a difference. Don't know the details but I was struggling and had to change something, so I started cleaning mine. I went several years without ever cleaning a pocket, now I try to...

    HI, NEW NBRSA web site. NICE.

    New Features.... Thanks. There is a lot of work going on the site, and we are flying without a net (developing on the live site) so it changes daily. Not normal in the IT world, but it will have to do here. Range database -- with contact info, lat/long, maps. Check out the description of the...

    How do you shoot a teen agg??

    I shot a small handful of teen aggs and in addition to having the gun playing its best tune, impeccable bench manners are a requirement. That nervous twitch that comes with putting the fifth shot in the group turns a lot of .18xx's into .22xx's. You will know when you are operating the equipment...

    Todd Tyler shoots potential LV100 record

    We witnessed some incredible talent this weekend in some tricky conditions... first on Saturday, Todd's .1418 LV100 agg - besting the second place by .110 and he proved up by handily winning the LV200 as well for a LV100-200 agg within spitting distance of a record as well. But that wasn't the...
