Randy, fabulous information thank you for sharing. I've never met Charlie but he did come up with, and produced, some very good high quality Benchrest equipment, the Hood press, cleaning cradle and the Hood bullet puller. I've owned them all and the press is still sought after today. I have to...

Hunter, thanks for posting the link to that thread it was/is a good thread to read, full of information, for a beginning bullet maker. A number of those that posted in that thread are no longer with us to share any more information. Randy, you mentored the person I bought my dies from.

Several years ago there were some very good threads on Bullet making, one of them stretched to several pages and was started by Stephen Perry with some very relevant information. The thread met a disastrous end and Wilbur managed to save most of it, I have attached what Wilbur saved Wilbur also...

You Wichita is 152 earlier than mine. Some of the older BR rifles can be bought quite cheap which make them a nice option for a club rifle. Regards Ian

I've never had any bullets on the .750 jacket but have shot a few 1000 made on the .790 and a whole bunch more made on the .825 jacket and the 14tw has been my go to barrel, I tried a 13.5 and a gain twist and they didn't seem to shoot any better than the 14tw.

The Benchrest Primer is a pretty late collection of articles from Precision Shooting magazine. Some of the earlier books may contain more information: Modern Accuracy L. R. Wallack The Story of Bench Rest Shooting 1951 Accurate Rifle Warren Page The Ultimate in Rifle Precision Townsend Whelen...

Lets get this back on track, left bolt right port rimfire actions There have been very few suggestions about this but from what I can gather a .750 tenon diameter is ideal for the barrels used. This rules out large tenon actions unless very precise work is carried out on them to reduce the...

What are the thoughts of the rimfire countries to adding 100m score matches to the WBC? I think Australia bought this up at the delegates meeting?

My thoughts about the stock for rimfire would be that a Stright line stock would be more consistent compared to a sloping butt like used in centrefire. Especially if shooting free recoil, the bullet in a rimfire takes longer to exit the muzzle than in centrefire. I do like both of these stocks...

Is the Vudoo a large tenon action? there is an interesting thread regarding tenons. The straight line stock is legal here and is what I would want. Also legal here is a magazine and given the speed advantage of a magazine some have been successful exploiting this. i have seen some pics of Jim...

I do shoot centrefre Benchrest and use a left bolt right port action, so I don't want to change to shoot rimfire Benchrest, so no right bolt right port left bolt left port suggestions please. I'm specifically looking for a left bolt right port. Who makes a left bolt right port rimfire action...

The Nesika J was 0.965, which is the same as the TPE. I think the T is the same as the J but not sure

Pedro thanks for sharing everything you have shared, it is very enlightening and confirming in many ways also. Where can the RS tuners be purchased from? Thanks

Al I remember reading that about the Wichita, mine has the removable trigger hanger, so no need for a hole in the stock to remove the trigger.

RIP Joe My condolences to all his family and friends. Joe was always friendly and had a quick smile. He will be missed. Ian
