I tested my IR 50 sporter which is pillared and screwed at different torque settings and found 15 inch pounds best. You could see it on the target while testing indoors.

.22 rods Is True. I've ordered 3 different sets of rods from Ivy/Denny and all have been top notch and no newsprint ink on the paws. Joe

best .22 cleaning rod The Ivy Rods are best for good and practical reasons. You need a rod no bigger than .182 diameter so as to not have the ejector cut up or scratch your rod. Ivy makes them. The polished stainless rod will not pick up or imbed with grit. One quick wipe with the towel and...

IBS 200/300 yd Nationals Btt

200/300 IBS Nationals It's really good to see that we have some many shooters preregistered. We still have room for several more. We have cleaned out the building below the range for cleaning and loading but late comers might want to bring an awning. There is a restroom with running water...

UBR Wilmore, Ky For those who cannot get to Saint Louis this weekend, I do hope that you can come out to the Bluegrass Sportsman's League. UBR is a blast to shoot and just about any rifle can shoot. We are supplying lunch, soft drinks and water for you shooters. Ya'll come on out. Joe Jarrell

6br cases I lost a couple of the new 6br cases out of each hundred when necking up to 30br. I then started annealing the new cases before the stretch up to 30 and stopped losing cases due to split necks during that operation. I'm not sure that it would stop these defects but I am not losing as...

I/R shoot at Bluegrass Sunday looks to be great with the weather. High 70's to low 80's and small chance of rain. Be there or be square!. We'll all have a real good time. Joe

222 load I still like the 222 (Deuce) for bench shooting although I am now playing with the 22PPC-100. My best load for accuracy and reasonably good speed was: 20.2 gr. H4198 Rem 7 1/2 primer Cheek or Bart's 52 gr. flatbase hollow point matchbullet Lapua case The Rem. primer seemed to be...

22Hornet I've played with a few Hornets and they can be made to shoot fairly well. It is good to remember that we are dealing with an antique which was not born with the advantage of being inherently accurate, like a .222 Rem. or a 30 BR. First rule out mechanical problems such as barrel...

Benefits of Cryo Treatment I first heard about cryogenics in the early 80's from a now deceased Hall of Fame shooter who was having his barrels treated. He said that the American textile industry had gone for Cryo in a big way. They were treating their needles and knives on their big equipment...

Cleaning 17 cal. barrels The 17 Hmr. is sure fun to shoot. Plastic pop bottles get filled up with water and get blown up with that tiny grenade launcher around her with great regularity.... they will still explode with a good hit at 150 yds, Almost as much fun as a 17 Javelena or a 17 Fireball...

22 K Hornet I thank you, Smokin' Joe, for the help. This is exactly what I needed. Now I can continue my craziness with the Hornet. Joe Jarrell

22 K Hornet Thanks for the help. You'd think that I would have heard of Saubier,com by now...goes to show that there is always something new out there. I'll call Redding in the morn for dies. Joe

I have a CZ 527 chambered in 22 Hornet and am thinking about a chamber job in K hornet. The questions deal with reloading dies: Are neck bushing dies available? With a tight chamber, is a full length die needed? What are the quirks with this cartridge? I've always shot a straight Hornet...

We will shoot our State Match on Sunday Sept. 12 at Bluegrass......Just South of Lexington, Ky at Wilmore Ky. starting at 9:00 and try to get there early for registration and flag set-up. Directions at: www.bgslinc.com GPS: N37.47877, W 84.39759 We will be providing lunch...

.22 reamer If I had my druthers for a chamber in a new Lilja barrel, I'd request the smith to get the Calfee 2 reamer from the above list. Set the depth for engraving the bullet by at least .060 in. Bill was kind enough to share his ideas on reamers and the no. 2 does work great. Good luck...

50-5x I watched Mike shoot that target and it was sure something to see. The remarkable thing is that Mike shot it on the notoriously bad...right side of the range.....and during a hard rain and thunder storm. Mike did not let it get to him...I guess he put his head on auto-pilot. Good...
