    Wind Flags 2015

    I think we are talking about the same flag, which is really one of Rick's normal sized vanes--not the extra large which so many people use, I think a lot of us think it is the normal size--anyway he turned the normal sized vane upside down which allows for more clearance between flag and target...

    Wind Flags 2015

    Did I miss the post where someone answered the two sides two colors question? I don't know about the questioner's eyesight, but I can't tell the difference between a same color flag pointing at 30 degrees and one pointing at 70 degrees out at 150 + yards, especially on a field of flags and there...

    BR Nationals compared to Sporting Clays Nationals.

    Shotgun shooters seem to be a lot more gregarious than rifle shooters right out of the box and BR shooters are a lot less likely to welcome interruptions when ladder testing or practicing than the rest of the rifle shooters. This tends to limit the number of new shooters welcomed into the ranks...

    front rest ??

    Since the OP used the term "on" disability, I imagine he was indicating that he has not got $$$$$$ spend. Being in that same boat, I can definitely understand. My experience with 2 different Caldwell rests leads me to agree with the comment about cheap rest being a false economy. Sinclair makes...

    Loss of Accuracy After Annealing

    I think I may have failed to mention that my induction heater, while cooking the necks perfectly, is not a tool built for speed. These days I have lots of time and do not roast more than 100 cases at a time, so it works just fine for me. If I were still broiling 200 to 500 at a time I would...

    Loss of Accuracy After Annealing

    2 things I have learned over the years about annealing: Polishing and/or working the brass changes the coloration. A Lapua rep once told me that they do not polish their brass as it seems a waste of time and serves no purpose other than cosmetic appeal. Since there is not beautiful case...

    What type of sand for front bag?

    I do nothing but play around with loads and such to see what's what as far as my wallet and I are able to determine. One of the more contentious subjects over the years has been the bags: sand used in both bags, how much, what kind, and in what firmness in either bag and what kind of...

    Buying new Model 12, Twist choice?

    I have a Savage model 12 circa 1998 that I shoot from time to time. As mentioned in a post above the 1/9 twist is a good one for the .223 rem and that is what I have in both my savage and AR. They both shoot Berger 60-ish bullets quite well. Mainly I use the 65gr WEB bullets because I have a...

    Inside case neck cleaning?

    Nylon brush + lightweight cordless screwdriver with adapter (if needed) for little bitty things like the shank of the brush. Sit in front of the TV or out on the front porch and have at it. Makes you look like you know what you are doing and sorta semi-high tech. Also gives you something to do...

    Need explanation of T.Boyers reloading comment

    as for the shoulder: Have you tried annealing more often? Or leaving the case in the die for a few seconds before removing it and going on to the next case? How are you measuring the base to shoulder length?

    Cleaning questions

    Lately my borescope and I have been much impressed with Blue Wonder bore gel/gun cleaner. I'm not sure how old and bad your fouling is, but the BW works quite well on my barrels which I clean at least after every shooting session--which is the way to make things easier and better in my opinion...

    anybody increasing rifle scope magnification?

    Try this: It will not make a 32X into a 45X but it's an inexpensive way to boost power for older eyes................http://www.bulzeyepro.com/optical-boosters.php I used these on my Weaver T36s until I got so blind I dug into the savings for a Leupold 45X

    Cleaning primer pockets

    It seems to me that a spin of the brush and all is done to perfection as long as the flash hole is clear and the area of the primer pocket where the primer cup comes down (up?) is clear so that you can get a fairly uniform crush would be all that any obssessor could require.........it takes...

    Weighing brass

    Someone I trust once told me that a variation of 5% or more in the weight of a batch of cases or bullets indicated that a lot of culling was needed--and/or the lot might not be a good one. I took this to mean that a tolerance of 2.5% +/- was the borderline. It seems to work. I'm talking about...

    Good news about LT32

    Looking at MS and PV websites just now showed that MS does not have it yet--it's not listed anyway--and PV does. The bad news is that PV can't keep up with the demand for all products --no doubt because of Obama Scare II -- and shipping will be delayed................

    100-200 yd. Benchrest loads for 6BR 1-14 w/68g bullet

    I've had good results using N-135, Norma brass, and Fed 205 match primers in my 1/14 barrels. I know people who really like a 68 gr. FB or BT in that kind of 6BR setup, but they never worked the best for me. I like Don Lahr's 66 gr FBs or Berger 65 gr. WEB at 200 yards. The new Berger column...

    Stock drop questions

    Somehow, I got the idea that short range unlimited guns both rail and cruiser were also exempt from the drop? Or do I misremeber?
