I recently heard the IBS has rescinded the no-bolts-in-nowhere rule. I looked through the new rules but didn't find anything. Who knows the latest??

The rule, while well intended, is stupid as long as it prohibits inserting a STRIPPED bolt. We are not a bunch of children, many are professional gunsmiths.rule was not rescinded. It stands. The rule does allow a competitior to contact a ref and if there is a safe area to insert the bolt with ref oversight that is allowed. It was in effect all last year and part of season prior, and it is working well. If there are any gripes they can always shoot NBRSA
Just out of curiosity, what is the big deal about having to chamber a case to check bump? I use a gauge and it seems to work fine. Even if you have used a stripped bolt to get the feel that you are looking for, couldn't you then use a gauge to measure how much that was, and then measure from that point on?

As to your statement, "they can shoot NBRSA", we do. That sounds like a statement made by a little person who is still in a school yard!!!
The NBRSA allows stripped bolts in actions for the various tests required for tuning during a match. Hopefully Jeff Stover can bring some sanity to this ridiculous condition.
I'm sure that if you shot a few matches you would realize this.
It's not going to get any better. ...... some "idiot" letting a live round.........jackie
Jackie, we live in a world of idiots because they have been treated like idiots. Our fathers and grandfathers were not idiots, and why? They had to learn to be responsible for their actions. If they did something stupid, they paid, not like today where some sleaze-bag lawyer will get them off with an insanity plea, see, they were not insane.
What's next? Seat belts on shooting stools? Roll bars on our front rests? Kitty-litter in our rear bags so if we drop them we won't break our precious little footsies???
What scares me is not the sane responsible people but the people who take our rights away simply because they think the rest of the world is as dumb as they are!!

All of you have valid points, and in what I have seen in this game is that 99%
of the shooters are responsible to the fact that they can control there actions on the line or off. I myself like to set the shoulder by using the chamber for the reason that the chamber wears with shooting and the gauge does not, and I would like to see the rule changed to allow stripped bolts to be used at the matches. But you know as well as I that the 1% of the shooters
(the Idiots) or the new shooters is why the rule applys, and that is the reason that this rule is on the books.
