Attraction of F-Class I shot High Power across the course with a Grand from the mid 80's till mid 2000's. Finally couldn't see the front sight, cataract but didn't know it then, so I scoped it and continued the local matches, which they let me shoot just not eligible for trophies, no scopes...

The title pretty much says it all. The 4", approx., screws that came with it are proving to be too short at times. I need a source for longer ones. At least a couple inches. Any sources out there? Thanks Ed

"Cartridge choice is listed as UK Deer legal which means very little outside of the UK, I would suggest .243 and above up to 7,5mm but I would look to you guys for guidance on this." In the US probably the most pobular deer caliber is .30 ie the 7.62. Probably shouldn't exclude that. There...

Hi Charles, That's very true and it slipped my mind when I answered. Due to the rules of the competitions all rounds are single loaded.

I'll try to contact Greg and see what he thinks. Thanks the suggestion. I'm using the 140 gr bullet, the 142 wasn't out when I was testing and I thought it is the same weight the rifle was designed for. Being a Mauser all cartridges have to be fed from the magazine, even the single loaded ones.

I use the rifle in our local 300 yd F-class matches and at the local 300yd scoped prone match. Neck tension is pretty good. No bullet set back after being fed from the magazine.

Yes, 3/16 - 1/4" of bearing surface. Does not include the boat-tail. I could not feel any movement when I tried to 'wobble' the bullet seated there. No idea of bullet run out though, or how much it varies out there.

I have a dilemma. I just ran out of my supply of 140gr. Sierra Match Kings in 6.5mm. I thought this would be easy. Just order some more and load them. However, Sierra tossed a monkey wrench in that plan. They changed the shape of the bullet since I bought the others. This new one is more...

Here I thought I'd asked a rather simple question. <VBG> I think I'm going to have lots of fun working this out and finding out what shoots well in this rifle and how it shoots well. One thing for sure is I will learn a lot and that will be useful when I have a custom rifle built. With the...

I can understand this, but once it's been fired in my chamber once won't it be formed to my chamber? And, give me a good start to finding the correct set up to the rifle? Al, I'll quit calling it a bump die. I wasn't aware there is a difference. I also think I'll do my basic load work up...

1. Basics, is the group round. Is it strung vertically or horizontally, did I call the fliers, did it feel right on let off or not is the group consistent with other groups fired with that load. 2. I have confidence in the tools I currently have. They are basic. Micrometer and caliper...

My ideas have changed some since asking my questions, that's a good thing! Currently my thought is to get a Redding Competition Seating die, A Redding Competition Bushing neck sizing die and a Redding Body (bump) die. The other Redding Dies I have do a really good job. I use a Forester...

I use the RCBS to load for my Swedish Mauser. Using the smaller extruded powders it will easily stay +- 0.1grain, 0.00648 grams. Using the larger extruded powder it will not be quite so repeatable but still good. Get a set of check weights so you can be sure your scale is delivering what it...

The cartridge is 6 mm Remington. What I want is to wring the most out of the rifle and cartridge I can. I will be shooting it off the bench or prone, depending on the competition. Not in formal benchrest however. The rifle now don't laugh, is a Ruger No 1 Varmint. I'm hoping to get groups in...

Thanks Al, I would think that removing just enough from the neck to remove the high spots only would help increase accureacy since the bullet would be held with uniform tension all around. There probably would be some more clearance between the case neck and chamber in some spots but in others...

Thanks Vern & 4Mesh. That tells me that the bump die & neck sizer will be enough. Another question. What is a good mandrel lube? Case resizing lube, ground mica, die wax, FP-10 gun oil? Thanks again, Gregg

I'm starting my first adventure in "accuracy" case preparation. Previously all I did was debur flash holes and primer pockets, trim to length and re-size. With this rifle I want to do some neck preparation. I'm still using a factory chamber so turning to a tight chamber isn't necessary. I...
