Interested I sure would like to go to airgun Benchrest matches! I'm just starting into this particular gun sport and it looks like I'll be particpating in future events once I get the proper equipment to be competitive. I have to travel at least 3 hours right now but am willing to go much...

Glenn, I need to use the 30-375RP reamer soon.Can you email me at shmonty03@aol.com Steve M

Pics!!! Doug, Great shooting! Lets see a pic of your rifle all set for shooting in the front and rear rest you use. Steve

just thought you guys might enjoy these pics. I'm no 1000 yard benchrest shooter but sometimes I shoot extreme long range for fun.I've only been to one 1000Y benchrest match near Tucson.It was interesting because I was pulling for Charles Greer when he set the LG 10 shot group record.It was fun...

Off the subject a little but I have shot 75 vmax out of my 6ppc at 1000 yards on a very calm day and was able to hit a MGM mini popper(4 inches wide) with amazing success! Steve

Thanks Al, Great groups by the way! I shot one five shot group yesterday at 400 yards with my 6x47/115's, making sure that they were under the 3100fps imposed limit for a Tactical match I'm going to next weekend and 3 shots were almost touching at .3 inch and the wind took the other two shots...

Thanks lynn,That article at 6mmbr.com is what made me pick 6x47L. Hi AL, At what distance were these groups shot? MY smallest 2 five shot groups were .16 and .19 shot F-class style off the ground at 100 yards.We don't have a cement bench where I live so I'm always wrestling a wobbly rear...

Groups Hi Al, I don't hang out at this forum much and was directed by a friend to read this thread about 6x47L.I have two of them and it has become my favorite cartridge.I learned a few new things and consider this valuable info.Thanks for taking the time to do so. Is there any way you could...

Chino, I measured a half a dozen cases and the neck thickness was .0002 variance between the thickest and thinest. I checked the runout on the case neck compared to the body and most were less than .001 but did find one that was really bad at.003. Might that be the way to sort them,checking...

I have two 6x47L's one is a bench rifle and the other is a tactical rifle and of all the rifles I've owned or rechambered( except 6ppc and 6br) the 6x47's are the most accurate and usable for long range work. I like it much better than the last chambering before it which was 6.5-284. With the...

My 6x47L is near a perfect round as I have found and the runout is acceptable at less than .001. I'm talking about this 30-375R.I saw your post at SH and I am going to try it.I will also measure both sides of the brass at opposite sides and see. This brass is necked down Hornady 375 Ruger...

Lots of questions! Although not new to reloading I might have to consider some more advanced reloading techniques.Therefor I need some more experienced bench rest reloading help. I recently noticed a trend in my 30-375 Ruger Pearce.The load is 71.5 gr R-25,240SMK at 3.9 OAL,Win mag primers...

Thanks Lynn, I'll look it up.Thanks every body for your help! Steve

My 375 Cheytac fouls with copper more than anything I've ever owned.It shoots a 350 gr lathe turned solid copper alloy bullet at 3150 fps with 150 grs of powder.Use TM for carbon to start with and Boreteck for copper.Soak for an hour at a time and only put four patches through at a time between...

Mike in Co, I did start with a low powder charge and work up to find max pressure.Stopping at sticky bolt.Sorry, should have explained clearly so new loaders would not get confused.I was trying to be brief. Charles, Being benchrest, I was hoping to find what out what I could do to tighten...

Had to stop so I would'nt time out and have to start over. Still had some unanswered questions.Do you inspect meplats,trim or don't worry about it ? How much does meplat affect BC ? Had you had success weighing bullets,sorting by bearing surface or not worth the hassle.Or all combined is there...

Thanks Steve Shelp and Charles E, I guess I'll shoot over the chrono at 200yrd on a calm day and try that vaughn test. The ladder test was to find a load that shot the closest verticle at different temperatures.I think it has barrel vibe timing included.At 300yrds you shoot from max pressure...

Oh, you mean weigh the powder for each round.Thanks AL I forgot to mention that a guy named Greer with 300wsm shot a new club record for light gun.Five into 2 1/4 and all 15 into around 4 inch at Tuscon in first relay wind was still.I was wishin I'd been in first relay.

Ok you got me. Fireball, What is acceptable ES and STD ? milanuk,How much do you compensate for a 10 mph wind in your face vs at your back ? 6.5 fan,What happens when you shoot in a boil ? alinwa,Do you mean weigh the loaded round ? Thanks for reply's

I went to my first 1000yrd benchrest match and had occasional vertical flyer's. Can you pro's give a list of causes ? What you would look at first ? Here's how I've loaded. Weight sorted 6x47lapua brass,turned necks,trimmed,sinclair Hoen tool on flash holes,Bearing surface seperated 115...
