    For 15 yrs I've been shooting my iteration of the 6X47L ( https://benchrest.com/showthread.php?58805-Al-s-6x47L ) using Lapua small primer/small flashhole cases This is my successful iteration of an 80,000psi "PPC Style" midrange cartridge and is a real hotrod in that it will cruise a 105/108gr...

    Deleting posts when "They've done their work..."

    Why do people do this? This is not only a forum, it's a vast REPOSITORY of information. Often a necro post is resurrected years later and starts another discussion.... I think it's shortsighted and selfish to throw away an answer or series of answers just because one's own curiosity has been...

    Genesis handle recoil? Not break?

    Couple yrs ago I had a Genesis mounted on a big 338 and felt it was not repeating.... I posted here and also called Deon. A nice lady at Deon told me that "the Genesis system is very robust and you can throw anything at it" I took it off the 338 cuz I couldn't make it shoot. So now I'm in a...

    source 2"-2.5" tall scope rings

    I'm building some rifles which use shellholder boltfaces and I've built catches for them...... tubes into which the bolt slides instead of being thrun into the weeds..... Consequently my "cheekpiece" is about 3/4 inches above the cl of the bore. TALL picatinny rings stout enough for 250ftlb...

I just had yet another very satisfactory transaction experience with the folks at McMillan and in this mod'ren day of everyone-bashing-everyone (action mfgrs/trigger mfgrs/brass mfgrs/ reamer mfgrs/...

    Will my 50BMG blow up?

    Can anyone here validate my numbers on barrel size over the chamber on a 50BMG?? I recently blithely turned down the barrel of a 50BMG to 1.4 over a portion of the chamber, now I'm questioning my numbers simply because I can't find any evidence anyone's ever done this before. My numbers tell me...

    best way to HOG aluminum.... by hand

    I'm whittling a stock out of a 2X4X36 hunk of aluminum. Much of the contouring is parallel and mild radius so my manual Bridgeport is fine but the pistol grip area is tacticooled out all A3 style so's my thumb clears the rear of the bolt. I've been hollowing it out using; -mill -bandsaw -sawzall...
